hating yourself because of the past won’t actually change it, so maybe forgiving yourself because now you know better is better than torturing yourself over it again and again. at a certain point, you have to accept what happened and your regrets about it and move on and take whatever lessons you’ve learnt with you, since every mistake has something to teach us. being cruel towards yourself doesn’t make the situation any better and it will only hurt you more and more. forgive yourself for not knowing better and forgive yourself for torturing yourself by ruminating on your regrets over and over again.

Queer Finance 101: Ten Ways That Sexual and Gender Identity Affect Finances
I firmly believe that the reason gay rights have progressed very quickly relative to other civil rights movements is because queer people exist across all ethnicities, classes, genders, and religions. Queer people have many diverse and passionate supporters. And they’re embedded across every conceivable social group.
I strongly believe in the power of social pressure to shame bigots. Every time someone says something judgmental or homophobic or transphobic in your hearing, it is a test. You seem like the kind of person who will agree with me—or at least you seem like you won’t fight me on it. So go ahead and disavow them of that notion.
Practice. “I don’t find that funny. I don’t agree. That word is unacceptable. Don’t say things like that in front of me again.”
Contribute to a culture where people with hate inside themselves are nervous to open their mouths and let it out.

You gotta read and watch some old books and films that aren’t 100% modern politically correct. I’m not saying you should agree with everything in them but you need to learn where genres came from to understand what those genres are doing today and where media deconstructing old tropes is coming from.
Also, more often than you might think, they’re not actually promoting bigotry so much as “didn’t consider all the implications of something” or just used words that were polite then but considered offensive now.
Kill the censor in your head.
When we choose to avoid history because it's Problematic or Says Bad Things, we are choosing to divorce ourselves from understanding how we came from that time to this one, which makes it even more likely for the cycle to repeat, with no one but a few people with shelves of old books aware that it's happened before.
and this shit's important. Media from the past tells us how people from the past acted and thought and behaved.
Plus, a lot of these media pieces were socially acceptable and/or progressive for their time. For example, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, while it contains a lot of words and ideas that are offensive now, was very progressive for its time. The book is a statement piece for how a young man who's grown up in a racist environment, with no words to explain himself other than racist and bigoted ones, decides that the whole system is shit and he's not going to follow those rules any more. So not reading or engaging with it because it uses the n-word a lot really misses the point.

Not to be picky about it, but there already IS a tax on us childfree folk: it's called paying taxes for schools and stuff that benefits other people's children without having children of their own. AND I THINK THAT'S GREAT. Because we live in a society where supporting each other is mutually fucking beneficial!
"Apeels." smdh...
I completely agree with you. I'd also like to point out that people with kids do get tax breaks, in the form of claiming their children as dependents on their taxes and getting the accompanying deductions.
So, this person isn't looking to make things "fair". They want to punish people who don't have kids and try to force childfree people to have kids. (They would also penalize people who might want kids but can't have any.)

Hi. Very good blog and website. I've lived alone for a while and now I plan on doing it again before the end of the year. Your tips helped me before and I'm sure it will help again, even when I'm not from the US. Now I have money so I'll make sure to tip you somewhere as a thanks.
Thought you would like to know I only interacted with text before so I was really surprised to see Bitches Get Riches is not run by drag queens (lol) completely different image in my head
I wake up surprised every day too!
(Genuinely, this made us laugh and also was very flattering. Thank you.)

sounds very similar to a radio story i heard in 2014 ago about credit card debt. the debt got sold to a collection company and a couple received a court summons. they knew they had taken on debt, but they were confused about who this new company was and where specifically the number they were supposed to owe came from.
they show up in court and just ask the lawyer for the collection company: can you prove where this number comes from? Do you have a contract showing that you purchased our debt? probably luckily for them, a reporter researching a book on the topic showed up and asked the same questions.
10 minutes later they get in front of the judge and the collection company drops the whole case and theyre free to go. story is below, it has a transcript in the link too

Subscribe to our YouTube channel. It's free and it helps!
We love our followers more than we love reasonably priced cheese crackers. And just based on the messages we receive from y'all, we know that love is reciprocal. We feel that love especially when our baby bitchlings support our Patreon or buy our merch.
