THIS. So hard.
We’re at the lowest tax rate in history for the wealthy and they just got a trillion more dollars last year in bonuses.
If you aren’t a millionaire or close to it, you should be wondering why taxes aren’t closer to 94% on that high bracket for the wealthy. You know, like it was in the golden years of the 50s all these rich white people dream of.
Am I the only person who thought this was really fucking funny
A lot of the really funny moments in Lord of the Rings come from Tolkien playing with language like this, where we have relatively formal, archaic, “high” language responded to with informal, modern, “low” language.
another hilarious example:
my absolute favorite example of tolkien switching registers in this way is
I can’t believe Spider-Man defeated not one but TWO Disney films and grabbed the Golden Globe
Oh my goodness I’m so happy *ugly sobbing*
People don’t understand why this is a big deal.
Disney has a stranglehold on animation. Ya’ll remember when Frozen came out? Well when it won the Oscar for best-animated film, it was revealed that the people voting didn’t watch any of the other films. Frozen only won because of it’s brand name. For Spiderverse to defeat two Disney films is big because not only does it prove that animated movies feature people of color can be successful but it’s also showing that other animation companies have a chance.
*white parent voice* i cant believe kanye and kim named their baby North West!! thats ridiculous!! oh no, its almost 4:30, i need to pick up my kids Mackaylikiah and Ashleighyie from their water polo practice!
I always reblog this post so fucking fast every time it comes on my dash my phone shuts down the tumblr app and reboots
McKarty 64 is my favorite Mario Kart game.
My favorite part is that the blog post the photo was taken from detailed this mother’s decision-making process and chose this name because her husband saw it on a road sign on the way home
She named her daughter after a road sign
a road sign
there was a girl at my school called “zona” cause he parents went on holiday to spain and saw it and thought it was a nice name. IT LITERALLY MEANS ZONE
“47 month old”
this is my four year old rayman origins
“Who’s doing your surgery?”
“Dr. Rayman Origins.”
THE APP REBOOTED FOR ME!!
i met a kid once whose name was “Ryce” and his mum said it was pronounced “Reese”
the best part is she was originally going to spell it “Rice”
My auntie knows a family who decided to name their daughter Owen, but they spelled it “Oin” and they made her middle name the first sound that her big sister made which happened to be “Oogok”. her name is literally “Oin Oogok Puscus”
Oin Oogok Puscus is my favorite dwarf from the Hobbit
Yo I work at a rec center in a rich neighborhood and these are some real names of white children:
Salter Tryge (pronounced Trig) Loots Pocket Aughyst (pronounced August) Taileigh Lotiss Leviathin (yes spelled like that) Bacchus Daniyal (a girl, pronounced like Daniel)
this is from my kid’s valentine’s list this year like this corny fake unique name thing is no joke yall this is all of the boy names
47 month old.

Treyton lls, I’m dying…

Damn suburban moms love to put unnecessary “Y’s” in names.
<b>47 month old<b/>

Somebody named their kid Pocket?!?!???
I am cry wheeze laughing at this post, and then when I got to the bottom I had apparently already hearted it at some point in its life?
Anyway, bless little Christopher’s parents. My god.
47 month old tho
One of the classes I subbed in had a kid named Glarison. I’m sorry, did you misspell Garrison?????
OMG IT IS BACK! I CAN FINALLY POST THE ASK I GOT ABPUT THIS!
I went to college and took religious studies courses with a girl named Storm Pagan. She never understood why I found that both funny and oddly appropriate, and I never felt like taking the time to explain.
for the love of your future children, look up what a name means in all languages before you saddle you kid with it until they’re old enough to legally change it.
I took latin in middle school. I don’t actually remember much now, but i’m telling you, it was IMPOSSIBLE to look this girl I knew in passing in the eye because her name was Latrina.
Latrina.
(For those of you who have no idea why this is unfortunate and hilarious, ‘latrina’ is one of the latin words for toilet)
What the fuck that even sounds like ‘Latrine’ like who looked at that name and went ‘what could possibly go wrong’
Kids I actually went to school with:
Nipponia (Her parents were really enthusiastic about Japan and thought no one would know.) Foreverina Twins – Heavyn-Leigh and Eterni-Teigh Khayrliy (Carly) MyckEnziey (yes, spelled like that.)
Every last one of them was white n blonde.
Naming your kids after gods seems like s BAD PLAN whether you believe in them or not. Especially Odin and Bacchus.
4 7 M O N T H O L D
I knew I pair of sisters named Chardonnae and Breane (nicknamed Brie). Fucking wine and cheese
Heavyn-Leigh and Eterni-Teigh ……. I???……what the fuck 😂😂😂

Congrats to you for getting throught this post
Now I’m so fucking glad I’m named megan
This is why at the library I would make EVERYONE spell their name for me. Some white lady over 35: You want me to spell Linda Smith
Me: Lady, you don’t know my life. I have looked into the abyss.
