me holding a gun to a mushroom: tell me the name of god you fungal piece of shit
mushroom: can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters
me cocking the gun, tears streaming down my face: I’M NOT FUCKING SCARED OF YOU
I love how confused adults get with our humor and vine refrences cause like i just replied to my brother with ‘four female ghostbusters?? the feminist are taking over!!’ and he just screams ‘IM AN ADULT VIRGIN’ and my mom still has no idea what we’re talking about
Sometimes I fear we accidentally created a new language
why fear it when you can embrace it
We actually have…an updated version. You know how the idioms we have are said but never finished because it’s assumed that as long as the person you’re talking to speaks the same language they’ll understand the rest?
Ie. Jack of all trades master of none->better than a master of one
Great minds think alike->but fools rarely differ
Over time the second half gets lost because it’s been passed down orally so some idioms meanings have been warped but that’s a different conversation (ie. “Blood is thicker than water” is actually “the blood of the convent is thicker than the water of the womb”)
Vine are like that for us. You only need say the first half and every person under 30 knows the second half, no context needed. It’s cool as shit how the internet has done that for us. Vine sayings have become idioms in a sense…
While I knew W.E.B. Du Bois was a remarkable sociologist, historian, writer, editor, and civil rights activists (and one of the cofounders of the N.A.A.C.P.), I had no idea he was also a talented graphic designer. Look at the powerful and beautiful infographics that he drew:
Update: I’m so late to this party. Quartz, Print Mag, Hyperallergic and Smithsonian Mag have all reported on this excellent collection of gorgeous sociological data.
