~ 2020 financial budgeting template ~

hey guys! with 2020 being in full force, I thought it would be good to start ‘adulting’ (ew im 20 this year) by tracking my finances and budgeting. I made up a spreadsheet for myself and thought I would share the template with yous in case anyone finds it helpful.

whats in the tracker?

the tracker is organized in monthly sections that contain each day of the month, an area to track your accounts, an area to track your expenses and a pie chart. a 2020 overview of your monthly accounts and expenses is also included

the expenses are broken down into 7 categories (the max amount that fits on the pie chart). you can add more (may need to switch to another chart) or less; whatever works the best for you and your lifestyle

the expenses are calculated so you can see how much you spend each day, each weak and each month (in total and per category). the total for each expense category is displayed on a pie chart

an example sheet is included so you can see how you can use it

how i recommend using it

i would recommend adding in your data for January (or whatever your past month is). by doing this you can see how you spent your money which is very eyeopening and helps you to budget and save for the next month

for entering your current data, do whatever suits your lifestyle. whether that’s updating it daily, weekly or monthly. the goal is to not be obsessed with tracking your money but be aware of where you’re spending it and how much you’re saving.

as you use the spreadsheet you will see what areas of your life you spend more money on and you can start setting goals and limitations for yourself if you desire.

some things I added to my own spreadsheet is highlighting the days I get paid and also adding comments to each expense so I know what I spent the money on. this is shown in the example sheet

this is completely customizable to you and your life! add whatever categories you want, make the sheet colourful, only use the expense area, save reminders on your phone,, anything that will motivate and help you :))

if you use this please let me know and tell me if its helpful or not! i can make other variations of this spreadsheet too if there are any requests

Fanfiction, specifically AU fanfiction which focuses on retelling the same story in a different setting, under different constraints, or with a twist, is actually a cultural successor to the ancient bardic tradition of taking long-loved and long-told stories and retelling them with a personal flourish. Through the practice of adding details to unexplored scenes, bringing a specific character to the forefront and constructing sequels, the content-creating fandom that is keeping the ‘epics’ alive through transformative works is reflective and hereditary to the human need to preserve the stories which are dear to us and connect with them on a personal level. In this essay I will

Mix your aesthetics.

Listen to The Killers or Queen or Foo Fighters whilst annotating Shakespeare. Drink coco-cola out of a wine glass. Wear those black spikey punk heels to an art gallery. Wear smudged eyeliner and red lipstick but keep your hands perfectly manicured. Rock out to classical composers whilst you spead along the coast.

Mix your aesthetics. We don’t have to be one thing. We contain multitudes.

where is the line in these difficult times, really

[bauliya]

so women are supposed to grin and bear the books, the comics, the movies, the plays, the tv shows, the stories, the sci-fi, the translated ancient poems, the fucking millennia of men writing about their self inserts torturing women and it being declared as High Art by other men, we’re supposed to read it in our free time, study it in classrooms, include their styles in our own writing, accept their cultural influence as natural, watch it in the cinema, write about it, talk about it, accept it, aspire it, but men can’t tolerate three seconds of female wish fulfilment of a woman snapping the wrist of a creep without feeling personally kicked in the balls.

[darkshrimpemotions]

This reminds me of something I observed in college while I was doing my honors thesis on women in modern horror films. I watched a LOT of horror during that time as part of my research, and sometimes that was done with my family around.

And my dad and brothers? Were deeply disturbed by the movie Jennifer’s Body. I was flabbergasted. It’s not scary! It’s not even that gory. But they were horrified by it. These men who grew up on 70s slashers were legitimately shook by 90 minutes of Megan Fox eating a few teenage boys, mostly off-screen.

Similarly, my all-male reading panel for my thesis? Were so disturbed by my synopsis of the film Teeth that they couldn’t even talk about it. One of them said he couldn’t look at his wife for a week after reading it.

Again, grown-ass men who study and teach media for a living. Who definitely watch and enjoy horror movies. One of whom was a huge Tarantino buff. We watched and read worse in his intro to mass media class! But one movie about a girl whose vag could bite was enough to haunt him.

Then of course you have things like the Gone Girl backlash–men yelling that Amy Dunne is evil and women clamoring to assure everyone that they know she is not someone to emulate–the backlash against Carol Danvers, and, more recently, the griping from MRAs against the upcoming film Hustlers, which is about strippers scamming their Wall Street clients.

My conclusion? Most men–at least most straight, cisgender men, who are both my sample population and most of the ones whining that Carol is a “villain”–are perfectly fine with, and desensitized to, media where men do violence to women (horror movies), or men do violence to men (horror and action movies). They’re even sort of fine when women do violence to women (“ooooo cat fight!”).

But they get intensely uncomfortable when women are depicted doing any kind of violence to men, especially in films that tilt the balance of power to the other side of the m/f gender binary beyond a single moment or scene.

So woman as flesh-eating monster with men as her preferred cuisine? Woman who responds to unwanted sexual contact by biting it off? Woman who frames her cheating husband for murder? Woman whose response to harassment–behavior that many of the loudest whiners know is both creepy and reflective of their own thoughts/actions–is to break something?

Too scary. Unacceptable. Disturbing. These men hate being presented with the idea, even in fiction, that their position of power is socially constructed, that it could easily be flipped the other way. It terrifies them.

In feeling that terror, they experience a tiny modicum of what living, existing, moving, being perceived as a woman in the world is like.

And they flinch every time.

This is why women in horror are so important. Good horror should always make someone uncomfortable, and here is a giant frontier of easy pickins that probably isn’t going to be written by men.

The cause of racism is often fear of the unknown - lack of knowledge about other cultures. Travel, explore and learn - open your mind.

I really love this. So many are dead-set on the view that people cannot better themselves but that simply isn’t true. Everybody deserves a second chance and everybody has the ability to better themselves.
