The thing, though, is that burying it under mountains of paperwork or dismissing it outright doesn’t actually protect the company - because when it inevitably boomerangs back in a few years, then the company looks like shit.

Disabled people deserve to live. They’re not a “burden to the system.” They are human beings.

It takes the worst kind of white audacity to sail across the world, take an island that isn’t yours and murder all the inhabitants, enslave other people to then develop it into something economically prosperous, lose the war when they rise up against you, and then charge the people you enslaved the money you should’ve

Damn, Band-Aid, somebody had to die for you to make brown bandages?

Her very name?

Lana Del Rey named herself after a pin-up model, for fuck’s sake. She doesn’t have a problem with sex appeal and taking your clothes off for pictures as long as it’s “old Hollywood glamour.”

It’s so hard for people to realize that they can do something unintentionally, without meaning to do it.
