people act like twitters worse than tumblr. i completely disagree its apples and oranges. tumblr is like a town square where you barter and sell your own goods. twitter is like a coliseum where you can watch people fight but not take part in it
twitter is the inside of a walmart bare of merchandise or shelves that instead is full of ten thousand people all screaming at the top of their lungs at each other.

1. Tweet by Tim Gill (@timgill924): If students can pay for all that “ink” on their arms, then they can pay for textbooks too. I’m sick of hearing about this.
2. Tweet by rictus of friendship (@tancr3d2) in reply to Tim Gill: one time in college in 2005 i had to buy a $400 physics text for a single semester and could sell it for $3 after the class ended. idk re inflation but that was a lot of $ also i don’t have tattoos and at the time was living in a dining room for $150 a month
3. tweet by Don Hughes (@getfiscal) in reply to rictus of friendship: It’s funny that a book containing astonishing truths about how the universe works only cost you $300 and you’re complaining. Ah damn I learned about how matter operates, what a ripoff.
