"Silent Treatment" But It's More Like A Spa Trearment. A Little Treat, The Indulgent Luxury Of Hearing

Being poor is inherently stressful, when you're stressed you're much more likely to make purchases to temporarily ease that stress, which makes a horrible cycle that feeds itself.

Poverty = Ouroboros

listen the fact is that a lot of poor people ARE bad with money. i have terrible impulse control around spending 5 dollars here and 10 dollars there and i know so many people around me who have this problem too. but its not "this persons bad with money, so theyre poor"; its "this persons poor, so theyre bad with money". i dont know when i'll be able to get a little treat or eat out or buy myself something that will make me happy again so i have to do it now. idon't know when i'll afford food again so i have to buy it now. i don't feel confident in the fact i'll ever have the cushioning to genuinely enjoy expendable income, so instead of saving and hoping (only to have my savings routinely wiped out for moving, or medical costs, or a car accident), i spend it now so i can enjoy life now.

i think if you see poor people ebegging constantly but two days ago saw them posting about a fancy coffee and a pastry, you need to stop viewing "spending a few dollars you maybe shouldnt" as something that requires the Punishment of "can't pay the fucking bills". some of us, just like, need to feel like we have some kind of normalcy in our lives because being poor fucking sucks

I can never leave Tumblr because after years of sporadic therapy utterly failed to even approach the core of my problem some random tumblr user was like “I processed my trauma by writing a 10,000 word work of filthy fanfic erotica” and I was like “fuck it I’ve tried everything else” and now I’m 17 chapters and 20,000 words deep into an unpublishable work of obscenity and after careful literary analysis with one of the Beloved Mutuals I have come to some Terrible Revelations about my childhood and may now continue the process of Healing. Where else am I supposed to get this kind of experience. Who does this. Why are we like this. I’m never leaving. I love y’all.

Malcolm McLaren

i love whump so much when i find someone hot the direct response is to imagine them bleeding out on the floor

been feeling exactly this way ever since I was 7 and had no idea what whump was tbh

"Oh you had a plague? Come back to us when you had a World War, brand new unconventional weapons, and a new international order."

rainy day

So they've decided to take the idea and run it again

Context: Millions of fanfic authors had their work stolen by ai from the user nyuuzyou. Now, someone else with a different username has the same idea as nyuu and is highly unlikely to give you your work back. Whereas nyuu is willing to delete your work as long as you reach out to him directly. 😒

die and burn in hell you disgusting scam cunt.

so fucking annoying when these lowlife scammers send you the exact same message 30 times a day. girl you are all fucking scammers. burn in hell
