Will Smith went to London and dressed up as a Boots sales assistant to promote Jaden’s new water brand ….. what dimension are we living in

“Brand of water” look at our society, we need a good old fashioned culling.

The kid is just doing what he wants to better the world. He started a brand of bottled water that’s better for the environment and is responsibly sourcing everything from the bottle to the water. They’ve gone as far to work with a specific city and only bottle excess water and pay the city more than its actually worth so their water infrastructure can be improved. He’s also donating water to Flint until the lead levels are actually at safe levels because the government decided they don’t want to anymore.

If you’re gonna try to complain about a celebrity doing something at least be educated on what they’re actually doing first

Here’s some facts I found on Facebook:

(Sorry if there’s some repetition)

This boy created a brand of water that is reusable, created from natural renewable resources to significantly reduce carbon emissions, and is all over designed for being 75% better than his competition for the environment.

– The entire company is community based. They bought an abandoned church in a financially struggling city in NY, w the intent of paying property taxes (so the ppl don’t have to face large tax increases) so the city’s schools and social services would get more money from taxes. So far 92% of the money invested into their first facility has stayed in this city.

-they pay 6x the water rate, so that their company pays more and the individual pays less, opposite of all other water corporations.

– this city’s pipes are leaky, and insufficient, resulting in 500 million gallons being lost thru the cracks each yr.

SO they created a new water based revenue stream which created a pool of capital thats put toward fixing the leaks and can ultimately lead to actually raising the city’s watershed level as the net loss of water dwindles.

-THIS IS NOT AN EASY WAY TO RUN A BUSINESS. BUT ITS THE RIGHT WAY. AND THEY DOIN IT.

– they have vowed to donate water each month to flint until their water is drinkable again. They’ve already donated like 10,000 bottles.

-(btw he founded this company when he was still a child)

– YES. Having a brand of water is a form of capitalism. That’s the fucking world we live in. You can bitch about it or you can help. Bitching about it w no solutions is a waste of time. If you have wealth, it’s your responsibility to help your community. So this gender non conforming, feminist, black boy decided to take matters into his own hands and run a company under capitalism comzpletely based off a socialist model. This is amazing. It’s huge. It’s healthy, environmentally friendly and community based black excellence. Buy Just Water, bruh.

Sailor Moon wore this

YES SHE DID! The creator of Sailor Moon, Naoko Takeuchi, was very into high fashion and this is hardly the only outfit in the manga inspired by what was going on in the real world, wrt fashion design!

The lesson this leaves us with, is to collect references and inspiration and ideas wherever you can. Use a tag on tumblr, a pintrest board, polyvore, but don’t take originality so far that you’re not looking at what’s current and new and awesome.

My AP Psych teacher from high school keeps binders and notebooks with dicks drawn on them to use as visual aids for the Freudian unit.

One time she did this life changing little “experiment” where she ever so calmly asked guys why they draw penises on things. They tried to say “it’s just funny” or “you don’t understand” and she just kept saying “you’re right, I don’t understand. Explain to me. You already know what a penis looks like, why do you have to draw it on things? Are you marking it? Are you tagging it? Girls don’t draw vaginas on things.” And the guys suddenly started questioning their motives for everything they do and one guy was like “ms, stop talking about penises, you’re making us uncomfortable.” And she shouted “HOW DO YOU THINK WE FEEL SEEING DICKS DRAWN ON STUFF ALL THE TIME?”

Always reblog

listen. l i s t e n. listen. kudos does not equal quality. popularity does not equal quality. i have read some “fandom classics” that i could barely fathom how boring or terrible i – personally – found them, and i have stumbled across some absolute gems that didn’t even break 100 kudos. 

what is good doesn’t always get the recognition it deserves. it’s sad, but true. just because you haven’t – or possibly never take – off in fandom doesn’t mean your work isn’t astounding and beautiful, it doesn’t mean you should stop writing; it just means that a very select corner of the internet missed the diamond in the rough. 

fanfiction is flooded with content, there are so many of us out there producing it these days, and having a fic that takes off is almost as much about luck as it is about talent. never let a few artificial numbers on the internet dictate to you what is and isn’t worthy writing. 

additionally, you don’t have to read or enjoy fics just bcs they’re big. i cannot count the amount of times i’ve read the first paragraph of something fandom adores and immediatly exited out of it.

just… do what makes you happy. write what you wanna write, read what you wanna read. understand that while we all want recognition – and some deserve it more than others – we did not get into fanfiction for that recognition.

recognition is good, but sometimes we get all tangled up chasing it and stop enjoying writing and reading and fandom as a whole along the way. be careful of that, please, or you’ll burn yourself out.
