Blake Fall-Conroy, “Minimum Wage Machine,” 2008-2010

This machine allows anyone to work for minimum wage for as long as they like.  Turning the crank on the side releases one penny every 4.97 seconds, for a total of $7.25 per hour.  This corresponds to minimum wage for a person in New York.  

This piece is brilliant on multiple levels, particularly as social commentary.  Without a doubt, most people who started operating the machine for fun would quickly grow disheartened and stop when realizing just how little they’re earning by turning this mindless crank.  A person would then conceivably realize that this is what nearly two million people in the United States do every day…at much harder jobs than turning a crank.  This turns the piece into a simple, yet effective argument for raising the minimum wage.

really though

if breasts, butts and legs are so distracting to men, to the point they cant function

why arent they that distracting to lesbians

and at that point

why isnt the penis bulge and legs not distracting enough to gay men to warrant men being put under the same dress codes

#spoilers: its because its bullshit

Daily mail readers don’t want white people to become a minority. Why, do you not want to be treated the way you treat minorities?

Daily Mail, and Daily Mail readers, repeat after me. 

You don’t have to be White to be British. 

You don’t have to be White to be British. 

You don’t have to be White to be British. 

If you dislike Taylor Swift because she’s had a lot of boyfriends, congratulations, you are a slut shamer, and i don’t like you.

If Jennifer Lawrence is considered fat by hollywood standards, then i must be considered the kind of fat that gets a documentary. 

A guy in my psychology class said he thought orientation could possibly be a choice;

i-live-for-glitter-not-you

Me: Okay so if orientation is a choice, choose to be gay, right now.

Him: No.

Me: Why not?

Him: Because I don’t find men attractive

Me: So CHOOSE to find them attractive

Him: ……. I can’t.

Me: Sorry, WHAT was that? You CAN’T????

parscilla:

instead of publicly shaming girls for wearing shorts on an 80 degree day you should teach teachers and male students to not overly sexualize a normal body part to the point where they apparently cant function in daily life
