Uni. topic-adjacent rant
[gameshow voice] Is It Pride or Is It The Money?
my parents make it sound like a money thing. Which is in some ways fair but in the larger sense, fucking rubbish. It's rather that they're that genre of middle class who think they're Poor, Actually, because their phone contacts run the range of Old-Money-Owning a Private Island <- and -> Spending One's Holidays on that Same fucking Island, and I am just endlessly frustrated, because I do know what The Income is, and I do know they could most certainly make it work, if they wanted to, which they don't. And im endlessly frustrated with these fucking people who so often deride the 'masses' of this fucking country, who do have the privilege of connections, who can afford to book a hotel over a taking an extra drive to not-even-daily work, fucking etcetera, while simultaneously dragging their feet over getting my fucking eyeglasses up-to-date, because of how expensive it is (rel. cheap over here, mind you; still haven't gone yet 😭), and how wasteful and expensive I am. Fucking shove it.
