Stand Still

You. Must. Watch. This. It is so important to get involved with The Trevor Project. If you or someone you know feels alone - 866-4U-TREVOR is always there - all day, every day. Please reblog - you never know who might need to see this.

Ricky Perry’s latest ad for presidency. It may seem ridiculous, but make no mistake - he has a definite chance at winning this. Take a stand - don’t let his backwards ideology lead America.

Seriously, my first thought was “is this a parody about him that he agreed join in on to show his lighter sided”. Wow he’s got my vote, right after that frontal lobotomy, ptf.

The first panorama is from when I was 15, the second one last year five years later. One day I’ll finish the series?

A Message to the 53 Percent

Congratulations on successfully mastering a condescending tone. I have some news for you, though: you are part of the 99 percent. I am part of the 99 percent. My neighbor in his brand new Prius is part of the 99 percent. Our grievances are wide-reaching. Our stories and backgrounds are vastly different.

Don’t believe me? Here’s some anecdotal evidence for your taking: according to my income, I am the 60 percent. I am young like many of the Occupy Wall Street protesters. I have a full-time job and will soon be a salaried employee. I make enough money to live in DC with roommates, pay my bills, pay my student loans and still have a little money left over each month. I have worked damn hard but I am also incredibly lucky. Hard work is not universally successful. Just because my hard work and your hard work eventually paid off doesn’t mean hard work pays off for everyone.

So I guess you and I are the same, no? I’m just outside your “53 percent” range, but I also have a job and also “actually pay taxes“… as though someone working a minimum wage job barely surviving on their paycheck doesn’t pay taxes.

The purpose of “I am the 53 percent” seems to exist solely to say, “I didn’t have an easy life either, but I worked hard and now my life isn’t so bad, so stop complaining.” Despite the inherently condescending nature of your grievances, your stories are important, too. Yes, even you, Erick Erickson (pictured above). We don’t all agree. Erickson might try to throw salt on me and brandish a cross any time my progressive being crosses his path, but I don’t wish for the complete destruction of capitalism. Being part of the 99 percent means our ideas for solutions to our nation’s problems will not be the same. And you’re rolling your eyes because we’re outraged at Wall Street? Actually, no, I’m not sure you’re rolling your eyes; you’re merely keeping your eyes shut:

• How Goldman Sachs Created the Food Crisis
• The People vs. Goldman Sachs
• Hedge Fund Gamblers Earn the Same In One Hour As a Middle-Class Household Makes In Over 47 Years
• The More Americans That Go On Food Stamps The More Money JP Morgan Makes
• The new “Let Them Eat Cake!”
• Is the SEC Covering Up Wall Street Crimes?
• Obama Seeks to Win Back Wall St. Cash
• Revolving Regulators: SEC Faces Ethic Challenges with Revolving Door
• “The richest 5 percent of households obtained roughly 82 percent of all the nation’s gains in wealth between 1983 and 2009. The bottom 60 percent of households actually had less wealth in 2009 than in 1983, meaning they did not participate at all in the growth of wealth over this period.”
• Q: “Are you comfortable with the fact that several of your member companies have engaged in large-scale criminal activity?”; A: “You’ll have to be specific.”

Yet another reason why the 1 Percent always win: because the 99 Percent are perpetually engaged in petty bickering in an attempt to achieve subjective moral high ground instead of uniting in common grievances.

WHAT DO YOU TAKE ME FOR | PIXIE LOTT FT. PUSHA T

Ever since the first second I laid eyes on her, I know she’d be a star! Despite Pixie Lott‘s fame, unique voice, pretty face, legs to die for and just general likableness, she still keeps her head out of the clouds and stays true to the true art-form of writing music (she’s been writing since 5). Just the way every artist should be! Check out her latest dance jam above!
