this vine is one year old but everything about this is art. the camera rotates a full 180 degrees around a point. the child in the background misses an easy basketball shot then gets hit in the face in the face with a basketball. the fact that this kids name is semi. the fucking beat is three notes and semi kills that shit with one of the hottest bars dropped in this decade. ‘money add then multiply’ means that semi knows his fuckin shit but he doesnt know how to say mathematics. put this fucking vine on a cd so it can be looped by aliens 3000 years in the future

you missed the kid’s genius - he can spell mathematics, he goes an extra step, it’s
(M)oney (A)dd (Th)en (M)ultiply, I call that MATHM-Mathematics

this post never dies and you know what? i hope it never does. long live Semi the King.

this kid is forever legendary

He’s semi, he stays automatic

The sign of high quality is the fact the book was banned by the government. Trash literature NEVER EVER had any troubles with the law.

FARENHEIT 451 IS ON THE BANNED BOOKS LIST???

IT’S LITERALLY ABOUT THE SOCIETAL DANGERS OF BANNING/OUTLAWING/BURNING BOOKS

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

That’s the reason it’s on the bloody list.

BECAUSE IT’S ABOUT HOW BANNING AND BURNING BOOKS IS WRONG.

HERE’S ALL THE PDF VERSIONS I COULD FIND SINCE WE’RE ALL IN QUARANTINE AND WE CAN’T PHYSICALLY GET THE BOOKS WE DON’T HAVE

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

The Autobiography of Malcolm X

Beloved

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee (this was the only free version I could find, and it’s a downloadable thing, so do so with caution)

The Call of the Wild

Catch-22 (it was either this version or one where the entire thing was in comic sans font)

The Catcher in the Rye

Fahrenheit 451

For Whom the Bell Tolls

Gone With the Wind

The Grapes of Wrath

The Great Gatsby

Howl

In Cold Blood

Invisible Man

The Jungle (personally I don’t like this formatting, but the site doesn’t look sketchy so…) - there’s also this which is the proper book format in a pdf, but it’s directly photocopied so it might be hard to read some of the print

Leaves of Grass

Moby Dick

Native Son

Our Bodies, Ourselves (we learned about this one in APUSH!)

The Red Badge of Courage

The Scarlet Letter

COULD NOT FIND Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (the ebook is 47 fucking dollars??? and i can’t even find sketchy websites that’ll let me download a pdf. if anyone manages to find a link, lmk please)

Stranger in a Strange Land

A Streetcar Named Desire

Their Eyes Were Watching God

To Kill a Mockingbird

Uncle Tom’s Cabin

Where the Wild Things Are (this is a slideshow!!!! how fun)

COULD NOT FIND The Words of Cesar Chavez (however I did manage to download the first 71 pages of the book from EBSCO and I put it here but I couldn’t get the rest. sorry y’all)

!!!!!!

I still want to know what The Great Gatsby did to get banned.

James Baldwin on “Incremental Progress”

---

Incremental change favors the privileged. Time is quite literally a luxury many oppressed and marginalized groups cannot afford. Centrism and “pragmatic incrementalism” are crappy strategies for fighting Republicans. I’m here for the fierce urgency of NOW, not for lukewarm moderates who care more about preserving order than they care about justice.

Always reblog because this is the best way I’ve ever seen it put.

There’s so much power in knowing your power. Knowing that you can control what you give your energy to. Knowing that you have the power to create a new reality for yourself. To shape yourself into the person you want to be. To reinvent yourself into the badass that you visualize in your mind. To reach new goals, attain higher levels of success and almost anything you ever dreamed of. Visualize, plan, manifest and take action. Go be amazing. KNOW YOUR POWER.
