Yarn supplier Bergère de France distributed in-store brochures containing knitting instructions for its coupons. Customers were invited to pick one of four coupon designs (5-, 10-, 15-, and 20-percent off) and knit their own discount vouchers. Values coordinated with the difficulty levels of the patterns. Agency: BEING, France

|PS| doesn’t know how many customers are willing to work this hard for a discount (the first coupon was redeemed four days after the program’s launch), but we like the concept nonetheless.

Greatest plot twist to Monster’s Inc.

oh my god you know what i just realized? all of the doors in monster’s inc. are “bigger on the inside”. so if any of the monsters went through this door they wouldn’t think anything of it. and the doctor would be standing there, smiling, waiting for them to say it, but of course it would make no difference to them.

“

Every year white people add 100 years to how long ago slavery was. I’ve heard educated white people say, ‘slavery was 400 years ago.’ No it very wasn’t. It was 140 years ago…that’s two 70-year-old ladies living and dying back to back. That’s how recently you could buy a guy.

Louis C.K. (via 30thcenturyboy)

Sylvester Magee, the (probable) last American born into slavery died in 1971.

The last living child of former American slaves, Mississippi Winn, died in 2010.

Slavery in the territory that is now the United States lasted more than 330 years. We will be 330 years removed from slavery in the year 2195.

Did you know that there were Human Zoos on display in Europe and America from the 1870’s to the 1950’s? These public exhibits of humans,often called Negro Villages, usually showed indigenous people in a so-called natural or primitive state. The displays often emphasized the cultural differences between Europeans of Western civilization and non-European peoples.

Above is a photo from Amsterdam Holland around 1890, of an African child in one of these Human Zoo exhibits,being fed like an animal by white spectators.

What in all the fucks?!

Yep.. Read about this in my classes on the colonial period. “What in all the fucks?!” indeed.

i think that teenagers being aware of social issues like trans* people and slut shaming and rape culture and misogyny and racism because of a dumb blogging website called tumblr shows that if the medias and politicians explained and showed those things, people would actually start to understand them and stop being close minded assholes

This is a grade A post.
