“Abolish Golf”

Sticker spotted in Chicago, Illinois.

A typical golf course uses 200 million gallons of water a year. There are over 16,300 golf courses in the United States.

That's nuts.

Ngl I hate golf and I'm all for this. They put a golf course in our public park at the expense of hundreds of centuries-old live oak trees. Half of the walk around the park you're just looking at an empty golf course. Like 2 people want to play golf. So annoying.

Golf was a game developed in Scotland, where it rains up to 250 days of the year, and where the courses use very hard-wearing grass. The sand in the bunkers is because it used to be played on the coast - these traditional courses are called "Links" courses. The top Links course in Scotland, Royal Dornoch, uses no mains water at all. They have their own rainwater collection system.

It wasn't originally intended to be played in the middle of a desert on lush green turf that takes thousands of gallons of water a day to maintain. Unless you can keep the course alive using only rainwater collection, it shouldn't exist.

i hope the 11 year old transmascs of the world arent on social media i hope theyre playing outside in the dirt

Image Description: A series of tumblr tags reading, "I hope they are happier and kinder to themselves and the world I hope they are riding their bikes to the library with their friends and I hope they are quietly setting aside their old Barbies and Polly Pockets with a warmth in their heart than a pain. And I hope they have cool backpacks and a 20 from their parents to go get some junk food and I hope they have nice teachers and older siblings that encourage them and little siblings they can pick up and spin around. And I hope they're watching their parents old CDs and playing Portal for the first time and I hope they're trying to skateboard. And wearing basketball shorts and I hope they all get hand me down clothes and band posters. I hope they're still doodling without cause and I hope they're eating well and I hope everyone in their lives love them. And I hope all 11 year old transmascs of the world are happier than those that were just a couple years ago. Also go trick or treating you aren't too old yet." End ID.

made this sherwani out of an old skirt my mom had

and here’s what I was thinking as a scarf possibility

The thing with the writers strike and actors strike is that. You ALL have to start realizing that the cool creative jobs they paint as "glamorous" in the media are actually ALL struggling in a big way, and basically everyone below "Huge Household Name" is actually often having to spend THEIR OWN DAY JOB MONEY to keep trying and trying to "break into" that household name status.

Like, im a cartoonist. Just starting out, but already fairly successful! My comics are sold in a handful of states, i sell out of my works, and i even have been featured as a finalist in a couple awards shows AND have pieces bought by a cartooning museum. I still barely make a couple hundred per month off it IF IM LUCKY, and spend almost as much trying to print more. Oh yes, i have to print my own comics! And working for a big comic company, they generally require you to bring some level of your own equipment. Heck, even if you make it "big" as a cartoonist...you wanna know how much you get paid if your comic that you spent months of back-breaking labor on is adapted into a marvel movie? A one-time check for $5000. Out of the BILLIONS those movies make, in perpetuity for eternity, you are given $5k. Pre-tax. Pre-agent. Pre-lawyer. (Yes we have agents and lawyers too, quite often). There's hardly any cartoonists who can afford to quit their day jobs, and even those who do are never living above the lower middle class range.

Now obviously cartooning is not the same as acting or writing, but my point is that we NEED yall to stop thinking just because you see our work as cool that we are living some dream life!!! Basically the only people who are living these dream lives you think of are CEOs of major companies and the occasional celebrity. The rest of us are just out here, struggling to survive just like you, we just happen to have a side hustle which is Kinda Cool.

All the arts. Writing, music, movies, dance, theater, design, all of them are important. We assume people with “real talent” will be able to make a living at them but even the super talented people can’t, and a lot of people who might be super talented never get to try because they have to do something else to keep a roof over their heads. 

this is completely true. when i went to school to learn animation, the teachers there (who all worked at the now-shuttered fox animation studios) basically said don't expect to get paid a lot. you'll be the cool parent with the cool job, but you'll never be Really Rich, and that sure is the gd case, ain't it.

there’s a reason the mantra of the arts is “don’t quit your day job.”
