Someone needs to turn this into a horror movie.

I’ve been thinking a lot about my old cleaning job lately so here’s a list of dumb shit I saw in rich people’s houses:

motion activated toilets - every time you so much as looked at them the seat would lift and it would start spraying like, disinfectant or smthing

A two-story walk-in closet

an on-suite home movie theatre located between the master bedroom and its bathroom

separate his-and-her on-suite bathrooms. As in two different bathrooms, one for ‘him’, one for ‘her’. 

the literal ugliest decoration ie; a huge ass piece of quartz just. chained to the wall. Like industrial chained to the wall. 

so many marble countertops with coffee mug rims (fun fact! marble is extremely porous!)

a single woman in her 20′s living in a 3′000 sq ft house which was always already clean because she only used three rooms- rec room, bedroom, and the second bedroom which acted as an extended closet, and the kitchen is not on this list because instead of cooking her mother, who lived across the lane in a 6′000 sq ft house, would just send the private chef over with meals for her. 

the aforementioned 6′000 sq ft house which had 6 different sitting rooms, two of which used to be what looked like a gorgeous patio and balcony which some fucker enclosed because for some fucking reason they thought this house needed more fucking sitting rooms. 

many, many children’s rooms that were clearly designed more for aesthetic than for children to exist in. 

A 60 sq ft shower

a broken smart home system that wouldn’t let anyone open the blinds.

A half furnished vacation apartment we had to pretend to clean every month for its absentee owner

an apartment absolutely fucking covered in animal furs and horns. Like almost wall to wall dead animal skins.  Zebras, goats, wolves, I think a caribou, beavers, so many fucking bears, including a polar bear cub.  Anything that could be made of horns was made of horns. There was literally a wreath made of dear antlers. So many fur coats. I had to vacuum a bear and I’ve never been the same. 

a shelf full of vegan cookbooks, in the apartment mentioned above. 

Anyways, skin the rich and vacuum their sins away; godspeed to any cleaning staff in this trying time.

This is very scary and concerning for black people. AGAIN DEHUMANIZING BLACK PEOPLE

Black people health conditions aren't taken seriously compared to others.Many black people are scared to go to the hospital for this reason

Black women are 4x likely to die from complications of childbirth than white women in the United states.they've had experience that has unacceptably poor maternal health outcomes

any mention of black lives matter has disappeared off my dashboard so i thought y'all might want to know that police stormed a peaceful vigil in memory of elijah mcclain, attacking mourners with pepper spray. families were there. children were affected. this movement isnt over just because it's no longer trendy.

Me: “I want to read a book.”

My Brain: Then read one...?

Aren’t you gay?

I like how this implies I did something heterosexual. If so, I apologize.

This pandemic is really proving that government has the means to solve all problems they just choose not to

“Another myth that is firmly upheld is that disabled people are dependent and non-disabled people are independent. No one is actually independent. This is a myth perpetuated by disablism and driven by capitalism - we are all actually interdependent. Chances are, disabled or not, you don’t grow all of your food. Chances are, you didn’t build the car, bike, wheelchair, subway, shoes, or bus that transports you. Chances are you didn’t construct your home. Chances are you didn’t sew your clothing (or make the fabric and thread used to sew it). The difference between the needs that many disabled people have and the needs of people who are not labelled as disabled is that non-disabled people have had their dependencies normalized. The world has been built to accommodate certain needs and call the people who need those things independent, while other needs are considered exceptional. Each of us relies on others every day. We all rely on one another for support, resources, and to meet our needs. We are all interdependent. This interdependence is not weakness; rather, it is a part of our humanity.”

— AJ Withers, “Disability Politics and Theory” (via vulturechow)

people aren’t stuck in poverty because they’re dumb, like I know it’s a really hard pill to swallow but no one is poverty stricken because they deserve it no one is poverty stricken because they placed themselves there no one is poverty stricken out of choice
