98 year old dobri dobrev, a man who lost his hearing in the second world war, walks 10 kilometers from his village in his homemade clothes and leather shoes to the city of sofia, where he spends the day begging for money.
though a well known fixture around several of the city’s churches, known for his prostrations of thanks to all donors, it was only recently discovered that he has donated every penny he has collected — over 40,000 euros — towards the restoration of decaying bulgarian monasteries and churches and the utility bills of orphanages, living instead off his monthly state pension of 80 euros.
This guy is so… awesome. Amazing. Inspiring.
meanwhile millions of people worship a fictional character who did what this guy has done for so long

This is the first song I heard from Brand New and it is still one of my favorites.

| Woman: | I'm smart |
| Patriarchy: | Well you're probably ugly then |
| Woman: | I'm creative |
| Patriarchy: | You mean unattractive right? |
| Woman: | I have all these incredible accomplishments |
| Patriarchy: | Yeah but look how ugly you looked doing them |
| Woman: | I have value |
| Patriarchy: | Not if you're ugly lol |
| Woman: | I'm conventionally-attractive & posted selfies on my blog |
| Patriarchy: | I'm so sick of these empty-headed chicks only caring about their looks. Just because you are attractive and get attention from men doesn't mean you are special or deserve respect. Why don't you read a book or do something productive with your life you dumb slut |
