What the fuck is going on on this webbed site? I am actually getting fucking pissed off now—for a while I was getting like, 9 notes on my art, which isn’t ideal but it’s whatever sure fine. Why the fuck am I only getting 1 note now? If that? Why does it feel like all interactions on tumblr have fallen to the wayside?? Because it was bad enough when people stopped commenting, stopped adding tags, then stopped reblogging all together, but have LIKES fallen out of fashion now??? It was disheartening enough that the last few targeted arts I’ve done got NO comment whatsoever from the people they were for, but then the next couple didn’t get ANY reaction whatsoever from the people they were specifically for! I’m frustrated! God damn it! I like making art, but when only a single fucking person AT BEST even acknowledges my art’s existence it doesn’t make me wanna fucking work on anything else! And the irony is, even if I ask where else I might go to try to get interactions with another human being, I know no one is going to fucking respond! Fuck!!!

And of course, a close-up of the babies:

What does the "banana republic is a fucked up name for a store" post you reblogged mean? I'm afraid of looking dumb.
The term "banana republic" was originally coined to describe countries in Central and South America (mainly Honduras and Guatemala) whose economies were rendered dependent on the production and export of bananas (among other agricultural goods, but mainly bananas) by American fruit corporations leveraging the power of the U.S. government, the U.S. military and the CIA.
Throughout most of the of the 20th century, American corporations such as United Fruit, Cuyamel, and the Standard Fruit Company owned large portions of these countries' lands, to the point that in some cases they controlled their railway, road, and port infrastructure, and they engaged in a variety of imperialist actions to lower production costs, such as violence against labor activists and anti wage reform lobbying.
The pinnacle of this phenomenon was the 1954 Guatemalan coup, when United Fruit convinced the goverment of US president Dwight D. Eisenhower that the elected president of Guatemala, Jacobo Árbenz (who had expropriated some of the company's unused land and given it to Guatemalan peasants) was secretly working with the Soviet Union, resulting in a CIA coup which deposed the Árbenz government and replaced it with a thirty-year right-wing military dictatorship which effectively acted as a puppet government to protect the interests of United Fruit and the U.S. government.
Nowadays the term has broadened to refer to any small, economically unstable country with an economy which has been rendered dependent on the export of a particular natural resource due to economic exploitation by a more powerful country.
