With the fundraiser post about Greece going about, I have seen on my dash a huge variety of tags in the past few hours, ranging from “lol kickstart the whole country that will work” to “haha they are so fucked” and from “how about Greeks pay for their own messes” to “omg this is way too funny” or “tbh I snorted from laughter too funny”.
No. It’s not. It’s not way too funny.
What it is, is a 60 euro limit on withdrawals from ATMs drying the market up to the point that people are stealing leftovers from trashcans. It’s queues of dozens of people in front of said ATMs, because bills run out at 9 am. It’s people dying of heatstroke from waiting outside of banks to beg for a few euros. It’s a huge percentage of the population living under the UN set poverty line. It’s pensioners getting 600 euros a month in a country where this is barely enough to pay the “solidarity”/”crisis” taxes, and thus 44.8% of these pensioners living in extreme conditions of poverty. It’s the youth unemployment rate being at around 50%, and in fact closer to 60% in the case of young women. It’s a country on the brink of total collapse, and it’s millions of people without a future. It’s tensions rising higher and higher, bringing Greece closer than ever to a socioeconomic meltdown and a new civil war.
Haha.
Very funny.

i want to kiss him on the lee face
when it comes to actors he wins the lee race
he is the lee ace
with him i want to reach at least second lee base
his eyebrows come in first lee place
in pushing daisies he is on the lee case
in the guardians in the galaxy he is from lee space
in the hobbit he puts everyone else to shame with his lee grace
in the fall HE MADE A LITTLE GIRL CRY I WANT TO SMASH HIM WITH A LEE VASE AND SPRAY HIM WITH SOME LEE MACE

why doesn’t anyone talk about that yoshi song that sounds like they’re just chanting “eat asshole”
WHAT!!! HAVE YOU DONE!!! TO MY CHILDHOOD!!!!!
and also i may have rp’d this exact scenario a couple (dozen) times back during the gigapause and they all went almost exactly like this
it was like having my imagination represented perfectly appearing on the screen page after page
everything i imagined of that scene, where dirk and dave meet, i got.
the dave showing that hes realized how utterly fucked up his childhood was
the dirk finding out that there was another version of himself out there being a Not Cool Dude
the dirk talking about his bro and being super eloquent and (i think) saying just what dave needed to do with his doubt about what he’s doing in this game playing the hero, even
and the HUG

IM JUST
IM JUST SO PROUD OF MY BABIES

LOUD CONTINUOUS OVERJOYED SCREECHING
lunarbath morguepunk cloudy-chaos ghoulm alooxisaries: you carry a fire inside of you and although the flames are beautiful, you must not let them burn the ones you love.
taurus: it’s never okay to kill parts of yourself just to keep others alive.
gemini: you are art. you are magical and mystical and everything in between. it’s okay if not everyone is able to understand that; learn how to appreciate your own beauty instead of searching for another’s admiration.
cancer: it’s okay to taste your own tears sometimes. after all, saltwater has a funny way of healing all wounds.
leo: you have moved mountains and swam across oceans, so who’s to say you can’t save your own damn self?
virgo: make a fist with your hand and understand that you still have fight left in you. don’t give up on yourself just yet.
libra: erase the battle lines you’ve drawn inside your head. you don’t deserve to be at war with yourself anymore; you never did.
scorpio: do not let your light be extinguished by the dark this world has shown you.
sagittarius: the unknown has always scared you but there is an entire universe inside of you & i promise that it’s worth exploring.
capricorn: you have made mistakes but you are not a hurricane. no, you are as warm and as lovely as the summer rain.
aquarius: rest easy with the knowledge that the people who have done you wrong can’t sleep at night.
pisces: you will not find happiness in the same place that you lost it. stop searching through the wreckage and rebuild the life you’re meant to be living.
This, except read all of them. Take what you need to heart.

can we talk about cyntoia brown for a moment though
cyntoia brown is a girl who is serving life in prison after being wrongly tried as an adult at the age of 16.
she was forced into sex work by her abusive boyfriend, and was picked up by a 43 year old johnny allen on a street corner. she then impulsively shot him out of fear, not intending to kill him, when he started acting threatening towards her. she was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder during her trial as a result of severe abuse over many years.
johnny allen was committing a sex crime against an underage mentally ill girl forced into sex work against her will. cyntoia brown committed manslaughter out of self defense at the age of 16 and is now in jail for life after being tried as an adult for first degree murder.
