pantheremina asked: Hello ! Your jewish dinosaurs are super cute !! Would you consider making them into stickers ? I would love it so much if you could ! I hope you have a very good day and thank you for drawing the dinosaurs !
Thank you!!! I actually originally didn’t intend to make them as stickers but you’re actually not the only one to ask and I’m super grateful that people love these designs so much!
I just uploaded them to my RedBubble here so they can be purchased as stickers!
The sculpture who designed this fountain in bolgna Italy in 1403 deft had a lactating kink and like imagine if pornhub didn’t exist and all those people with weird fetishes made freaky sculptures instead. IDK if that would be better for the rest of us but it would deft be better for their impotence problems.
Everyone who says “it’s not in the interest of corporations to harm workers and customers” hasn’t heard of history or cost benefit analysis. Mass industrial slaughter (companies letting workers die because it’s more expensive to enforce safety standards) has killed thousands. The collapse of the Rana Plaza is an example, and Grenfell tower.
triangle shirtwaist factory as well
also: the sampoong department store collapse, where 502 people were killed. the building was known to be unsafe since its construction and structural cracks were noted several times without any response. the building was assessed by civil engineers as a collapse risk. the day of the collapse, “the store management failed to shut the building down or issue formal evacuation orders, as the number of customers in the building was unusually high, and it did not want to lose the day’s revenue.” executives, however, had evacuated hours before.
the bhopal disaster had an immediate death toll of 2,259 and an estimated 16,000 people have died since. over 550,000 people were exposed to a toxic gas leak from a pesticide plant when the leak spilled into shanty towns surrounding the plant. there had been smaller leaks for nearly 10 years before the disaster, each of which killed or severely injured workers who were not provided with protective gear. during the major leak, all safeguards against a disaster of this scale either hadn’t been maintained and weren’t working, were inadequate for a spill of this scale, or had been removed years before.
the big blue crane collapse killed 3 ironworkers who were nearby in an observation basket, because higher-ups refused to stop work on the construction of miller park stadium due to unsafe wind levels for crane operation. the original crane operator had refused to do it, so another was brought in. a safety inspector happened to be on site and filmed the incident to document a violation when the crane collapsed entirely. this video has been shown in every OSHA class i’ve ever taken as proof of why 1) safety inspectors aren’t your enemy, no matter how much your boss tries to tell you they are 2) bosses can and will put your life at risk to avoid losing money 3) even if you’re not directly involved in the safety violation–the crane operator survived, but the three ironworkers in the basket were killed when the crane fell on them–your life can be at risk.
there are many, many more of these. more than i can count. and the thing is, these are all just worst-case situations where higher-ups thought they could skate past safety regulations and save a few bucks (or even make a few bucks) without consequences. many of these unsafe conditions went on for years before ending in disaster. the people in sampoong and rana plaza worked in those dangerously structurally unsound building for years before they collapsed, generating money for bosses and executives when no one should have even stepped into those buildings at all. many places are currently skating by and flouting safety regulations, and all of them are living on borrowed time before a disaster strikes.
yall on here: kljfhlskdjghslkjg us gays are useless! lol we cant do anything right ugdigxixhlcohc cant cook, cant drive, cant read, CANT count. we just out here being big gay disasters! asdfghjgfdkjfk we’re all just a bunch of big clueless dumbasses :) <3
17-year-old Lepa Radic before her execution in 1943. When offered her life in exchange for information about her partisan unit, Radic responded with “my comrades will reveal themselves when they avenge my death”.
The chemical name for vitamin C is “ascorbic acid”. I always used to wonder about this one. Is being ascorbic like being acerbic? Is it like being ascetic? Absorbent? Some combination of all of them?
Today I learned that scorbi is just a Latinish way of writing scurvy. So a-scorbi-c acid is “no-scurvy acid”.
i hate monopoly it is like some old white guy was sitting around and then thought to himself, what if we could make capitalism fun? well you tried and you failed dipshit
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_board_game_Monopoly it was actually created by a Georgist to illustrate the principle that rent makes landlords richer and tenants poorer. She designed it to be incredibly not fun, to show that if you don’t own property you experience an inevitable foreseeable slow dwindling of your resources until you eventually go bankrupt. She figured that through Monopoly people would be so bored and frustrated that they would understand how terrible the system of rent is
Then Parker Brothers patented it, mass-produced it, people bought it because people have terrible taste in games, and the original creator experienced an inevitable foreseeable slow dwindling of her resources until she died impoverished and obscure
society is a horrific parody of itself
No wonder this game makes me aggressive
Her name was Elizabeth Magie and her game was stolen by Charles Darrow.
Darrow went bankrupt after the 1929 Stock Market Crash, so when he saw his neighbors playing the game, he copied down the instructions, and published his own version of the game.
Then he sold it to the Parker Brothers who popularized the game. Darrow became a millionare within the year. Despite this, Hasboro currently lists him as the sole creator on their website.
Magie was amazing, and not just for her game. She liked to mock societal standards of the time through theater and even made national headlines mocking the institution of marriage. She supported herself until her mid 40s, proving that marriage was not the only option for women, before tying the knot herself.
Elizabeth Magie is attributed with this, “Girls have minds, desires, hopes, and ambitons.” Dont forget her name.
This is the saddest and most representative of the United States thing ever.
Magie actually had a second set of rules for a more fair game to show how the system could be improved. The game was meant to be unfair to illustrate the unfairness of runaway capitalism at first, and then switch to a new set of rules, which provide a much more even playing field (and a much more fun game). Darrow scrapped this second ruleset when he stole it, eliminating the teaching purpose and also all the fun. Here’s the original rules, with the second ruleset included
