Reminder: tax the uber-wealthy

Let’s stretch the metaphor to encompass numbers closer to home, shall we?

If you’re making $15/hour, that’s a bit over $31,000/year (lower-middle class for a single person, despite the fact that it’s not really enough to live on by yourself). That works out to about 8.5 hours. Most of us would feel like we were doing pretty damn well if we hit $100,000 (which is an upper-class income for a single person, but just barely). That’s just a little more than 1 day (~27 hours).

So for perspective, if your annual salary is converted to seconds, then the lower/middle class dividing line is at ~1/3 of a day, and the middle/upper class dividing line is at ~1 day. Anything over 1 day is a pretty comfortable lifestyle.

Now look at that tweet up there again. 1 billion seconds is 31.5 years.

Net worth for the richest people is constantly in flux because it depends on the value of their investments, which is constantly changing, but they’re all over 100 billion. That’s 315 years. If you go back that far, the U.S. hasn’t even declared independence yet.

And yet 1 day is a pretty decent living and 1 month would generally be considered “rich”.

Sharks make excellent pets if you follow this simple two-step care guide.


1: Leave them in the ocean.

2: Visit them in your imagination to give them daily compliments.

3. Check out the OCEARCH Shark Tracker app, which lets you learn names and facts about many individual sharks, and see where in the ocean they’ve been swimming recently!

There are not enough hours in the day; how am I supposed to go to work AND read AND draw AND sew AND write AND stay up to date on all the tv people tell me I should watch AND scroll endlessly through tumblr and expect to actually get anything accomplished. I call bullshit on the entire concept of time

This is a lesbian sex party invitation from 1970s San Francisco. I love that it has coffee stains on it, like it was left out on a table for a while.

Happy pride month to country mama lynn and ger gay son only

aint it crazy how many people realize they’re queer when they have the language to express how they feel and a support system to encourage self exploration????

I never stop enjoying reading this. Literally everyone’s lives improves.

Ancient legends say that if you reblog this on June you get 110% gayer and stronger
