Why has tumblr changed the quintessential blue of its newsfeed? I haven’t been on here in a while and I’m very disoriented by it🙅🏻‍♀️

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.

Just Water is the best bottled water I’ve had, honestly. It’s a little pricey, I’ve never bought it just had it at a resort, but it’s good as fuuuuck
