Heads-up, new ao3 scam. I posted a work and immediately got the following comment. (TLDR; Never click or copypaste strange links.)

It actually had me a first (since reddit does legit alerts this way,) but I caught it at the weird web address. Watch out y'all!

“Would you block someone just for disagreeing with you?” Pal, I’ll block someone for agreeing with me in the wrong tone of voice.

Rich people are literally just lying about being good at money btw

[directactionforhope]

Things like overdraft fees, late fees, parking tickets, fines, subscription renewals, legal fees, penalty fees, sales and discounts, lawsuits - these are things that all cease to matter in any material way once you have enough money

[directactionforhope]

To Jeff Bezos, a parking meter, a plane ticket, and a private jet all effectively cost the same amount of money: none

My wealthiest aunt credits her fortune to her financial acumen. Last year, her husband died (making her even wealthier), and as she was grieving her children stepped up to help her out with things.

Turns out she is terrible with money. Like, she had multiple copies of the same subscriptions, was overpaying to keep multiple homes maintained, and generally can't budget to save her life. Also, so many things that she assumed were "perks" of her credit card program were actually just her husband paying for upgrades behind her back.

But it doesn't matter because she already has enough money to make problems go away. She can afford to be stupid with it and still think of herself as smart and poor people as dumb.

I can't stand this shit. This is the kind of rich person behavior that simultaneously makes me envious and angry.

I don't care that they have more stuff than I do, but I do envy that they have more slack. That they can afford to forget things, to be inefficient, or wasteful, and it doesn't matter.

Which is fine by me if you are properly grateful and understand that's what's happening, but good lord it drives me up the wall when people who are terrible with money castigate the poor for being bad at money. When the person who has a bunch of duplicate subscription services they forgot about lectures the destitute about how irresponsible it is to order Doordash, I get enraged.

"Do as I say, not as I do" has infuriated me since I was a child and that irritation has never left me.

[morlock-holmes]

I do wonder if there is some kind of repressed self-hatred there.

Like a kind of guilt that if you had all this wealth and privilege without "earning" it that would somehow be immoral, or a lingering sense that it's only luck that you are where you are, so you try to build this synthetic world where actually you did earn it and the reason you're better off than other people is that you deserve to be.

[morlock-holmes]

This is also why I can't stand Republican approaches to medicaid and food stamps and all that shit, they are so obsessed with taking away slack from the destitute.

A long time ago, I don't even remember what social media I saw this on, but I saw somebody talking about how they grew up really poor, but had gotten a good job, and how incredible it felt the first time they bought a book because they felt like buying a book.

Because there are a lot of people out there who are going to overdraw their checking account if they spend that $8 on a paperback without carefully looking over their budget.

And I can relate to that. I cannot tell you how much it improved my mental health when I got to the point where I could buy a latte or a paperback and not have to worry that I had completely destroyed my budget for the next month.

I know at least one person who spends as much money as she gets without realizing it, but when I got the freedom to buy a latte if I felt like it?

It got easier not to buy lattes. Because it was my choice, because I could think about putting the money away as savings, not as a choice, and because I knew I could change my mind later, the decision seemed less momentous.

I mean, can you imagine if people sometimes shopped less because of a direct material need, and more as a psychological effort to exert control over their lives?

Why, if that were the case, things like restricting what you can buy with food stamps might actually be counterproductive. But fortunately we live in a world where all economic activity is rational attempts to meet material needs, so that's not a problem.

I was looking for a parking spot in the lot I have a permit for, and a co-worker from a much different background said that she usually just parks illegally because "What's the worst that can happen? You get a couple of parking tickets a week?"

Ma'am, I cannot be paying $350 a month in parking tickets. The hell?

[discordantq]

You know what else is a crazy amount of slack that people don’t account for? Homeownership. You can afford to be dumb when you don’t have the risk of losing your home looming over you on a month to month basis. I am about to pay off my house next year and let me tell you, as someone who did NOT come to this part of my life easily, the idea that I could, say, quit my job because I’m not 150% satisfied, without immediately risking homelessness…it is a temptation I am going to have to fight on a daily basis.

joining the war on kids reading any book they want on the side of kids reading any book they want. simply you will be fine. it's even good to be confronted with things you don't understand and even find upsetting, uncomfortable and difficult. it's a surprise tool that will help you later.

literally ok so not a funny story but kind of funny? when I was nine I encountered rape in a book and I was like hey mom what’s this mean and she explained it and I was like oh. gross. and then like two weeks later a girl on the bus abruptly disclosed her csa and we were all like ????? what ???? but I was like wait hang on there’s a word for that ☝️🤓 and explained what it meant and that it was illegal and that you could talk to a teacher or my mom if it had happened to you and everyone was like ohhhhh I see I see and very somberly comforted the girl (she was safe she was removed from her home and living with my neighbor at the time so it wasn’t Urgent)

And this is a perfect illustration of why it is important for kids to read or variety of things, and why abusers don’t want them to.

As always, I'm so here for Aabria and her attention to the world, both the small details and the larger implications, how grounded her character is in its histories and realities, using that character knowledge to put things together and move things forward so swiftly elegantly, cutting through confusion and argument.

"Wasn't Thjazi called Shadow?"

Tossing the Iron nail to Julien.

Quickly cutting through all the noise to reveal the truth.

While playing Thaisha, Aabria is so conscious of the world and Thaisha's worldview. As a woman whose religious culture has been persecuted nearly to extinction. As a person from a race that every other race of Aramán was happy to leave in subjugation; the suffering of the Rungjani was a fair price for their comfort.

You can viscerally feel this in her gentle but clear acknowledgement of Bolaire, her tone when she asked him why he was so angry.

"What exactly do you find to be foolishness, Bolaire?"

The calm, despite the fact that, when it comes down to it, he is angry that the actions Thjazi set in motion blew up his comfortable life. The same actions that liberated the Runjani afterlife. He doesn't think "a couple hundred" Rungjani souls are worth it.

"So you're not angry, you're afraid."

It reminded me of when Aranessa was breaking down and overwhelmed because her life was blown up and she has to make hard decisions to move forward. Thaisha used the same gentle, but firm tone then.

"You always had to make a choice and the world was always chaos. It's just touching you now."

There's such weight and truth behind the way Aabria carries Thaisha. I look forward to her Soldier table, but I feel for what the rest of the tables will be losing without her presence.

More male characters who are interested in their mother's legacy. As a trope there's a lot of sons and daughters who follow in the father's footsteps and there's yes, girls who honor their mother, ect. But let's have more dudes who are like. Stumbling on their mom's secret fairy cottage or some shit. And they're like aight gotta make the tea

[lifeafterpsychiatry]

Give me less "being kind requires zero effort" and more "being kind is worth the effort it takes."

[biggass-pancake]

no no, i get it. i can see why you're confused- I want the CANON to be completely platonic, fucked-up exploration of intimacy that transcends human sexuality but never includes human sexuality.

I want to be the pervert that makes them fuck.

[mikkeneko]

#had to be me#canon might have gotten it wrong

[mellosdrawings]

Maybe -- just MAYBE -- don't spit on other characters and ships and works when the artist you congratulate and reblog from also draws those?
