i will never care about the met gala beacuse i know in my heart if you gave a drag queen 45$ and three days they could make something completely out of this world that out every single celeb to shame
i can answer this! the met gala is the main source of funding for the metropolitan museum’s costume institute, which houses something like 30k pieces of surviving historical clothing, shoes, accessories, etc. dating all the way back to the 15th century. the costume institute is the only department of the met that has to fund itself; ticket sales and donations are the institute’s only other sources of funding. the met gala brings in millions of dollars to the institute
i know it seems like just a bunch of rich people flaunting their wealth, but it’s actually what’s paying for the upkeep of all of these pieces of fashion history and keeping them available for public view, instead of in private collections. plus we get to laugh at rich people who don’t know how themes work
The new layout it a whole mess. Thankfully Xkit can already help with a bunch of this! I’m sure it’ll give more options soon.
Vanilla Tumblr: (I have marked in red what can be removed. The tabs can be set not to stick, so you will really only see them at the top of your dash. Empty box on the left for hidden notifications and shop sparkle, i just didn’t have any. I’m EU so no Live for me).
A big argument with the pro death penalty crowd is, “well what about the people who actually are guilty?” And the answer is always, “well what about the people who are actually innocent?”
I would rather spare the lives of a 100 guilty people rather than execute 1 innocent person.
And functionally, the death penalty doesn’t really do anything.
There’s no evidence to suggest that states that have the death penalty see a decrease in crime, so it isn’t a deterrent. The only thing it functionally does is attempt to make people feel better.
A life sentence will functionally accomplish the same thing a death penalty does, it will keep that person away from the public.
With life sentences, an innocent person has the opportunity to be found innocent and released. You can’t bring an innocent person back to life if you find out after their execution that they’re actually innocent.
my dad always says “it’s not trespassing if you’re not planning to do anything bad” which as a legal argument wouldn’t get far but as a moral prerogative is completely sound
Hey, PSA for my fellow disabled people: UPS workers are trying to negotiate a new contract, and it looks like it’s leading to a strike soon. Now, I am absolutely all for this, they need safe working conditions and should strike if need be, but for us?
Please contact your doctors and make sure you’re prepared in any way possible. This will affect many of you, whether that’s through med deliveries, oxygen tanks, or other one-use supplies. If you live in America, try to get in contact with an insurance case worker for resources and advice if you’re able.
Stay safe, and hope that the precaution isn’t necessary.
i think banishment is the funniest possible spell you can cast on someone. like i’m not even going to fight you. YOU’RE going to go away. you have no choice.
a guy i banished to the desert 10 years ago finally tracks me down after years of planning his revenge and i immediately banish him to the desert again
