There's no way any anti who throws the "go file your taxes" insult is actually an adult, right? 'Cause an adult would know you literally only file your taxes once a year and only at a like really specific time of year usually :/

#like if you're gonna tell me to ''go do X adult task'' at least make it an adult task I have to do every day #like dishes or some shit #so you don't come off like a toddler who doesn't understand how the adult world works #I mean that's still a weak as hell insult because the dishes take at most an hour if they're particularly dirty #but at least I do that every day so it kinda makes sense #taxes are a once a year event #it's not like they need to be filed every month :/ #''go take care of your children'' is wildly misogynistic so that one's not allowed either even if I had children #adults do in fact do things besides ''work taxes and make/care for babies'' #like >18 antis are in for a world of backlash when they hit 18 and realise their hobbies/interests didn't suddenly disintegrate #just anti things #anti bs #proshipper safe

PSA (look at me using Americanisms even here):

The US is not currently being colonised or oppressed by the UK. If you're a white American (note: please do not take my words out of context and act like I'm attacking Indian people or other groups with a legitimate history of suffering because of the UK for making some snarky comments about us!), comments about British people (that aren't specifically about the royals, the government, or JKR) are very likely NOT punching up. Comments about how we "talk the language wrong" or other cultural mockery is in fact very likely to be punching DOWN because US culture is incredibly globally dominant--what you're essentially saying is "why can't these silly foreigners talk/eat/live the American Way which is clearly superior and which everyone in the world should follow?"--or at least, it will invariably come across that way.

If I responded to a post mentioning Tootsie Rolls with "haha that can't be real, this has to be a troll post, I know America is a stupid dumb country with a stupid language for babies but they can't possibly have a sweet called Tootsie Rolls, that's too ridiculous even for the ridiculous Americans", I would at bare minimum get the response "how tf have you never had a Tootsie Roll do you live under a rock", probably also "your country doesn't have Tootsie Rolls? you must all live sad lives!", and very likely someone would get offended by my mocking language (to be clear I would never actually phrase a comment so rudely! it's not a pleasant way to talk to people, even to Americans!).

But a post mentioning some British brand names (some of which sound funny, yes--but that's not "proof the UK is a silly fake country where everyone speaks in babytalk"--it's proof that these brands are aimed at kids so have childish names--the US has Tootsie Rolls, the UK has Nobbly Bobbly ice creams, Spain has Chupa Chups [which we have here too, but it sounds even sillier in Spanish when you know it means Sucky Sucks], etc) gets a lot of people going "lol what a ridiculous country, everything is babytalk", and a ridiculous number of people going "this has to be a troll post, these names must be made up", without considering A) other reasons why you as a USAmerican might not have heard of foreign things (such as, because you mostly interact with USAmerican media because most media that gets big IS USAmerican--combined with them simply not existing in your country so of course you don't see them every day!), B) why anyone would go to the trouble of making all this up, C) you can in fact google things and find that they exist.

#this site is so American #'what TV network did you watch the most as a kid?' lists only US ones #'best brand of X' lists only US ones #'you must vote on this sign this contribute to this' and turns out you can't unless you're in the US #'if you haven't heard of X you live under a rock' X exists in ONE country out of the 195 in the world #advice posts for medical or legal stuff that are US-only but not labelled as such #'how many of these essential adult life skills do you have' and about 5 out of the 30 questions-- #--are related to the arcane American process of filing your taxes-- #--giving us 'you are a stupid little baby who doesn't know basic life skills' results-- #--and leaving us going 'AM I stupid? tax just...happens? I don't have to do anything?? wha??' #etc etc etc

hi bitches! Back in April, I left a full-time job that was awful for my mental health (retail hell), and then the next month I started the process of moving out of my emotionally abusive mom's house. Now, I can't find my W-2 form from that job (I'm not 100% sure if they sent it before I moved out, but it's getting closer and closer to Taxes Due time and I really hope they didn't send it to my mom at the end of the year). What do I do? Is there a way to go online and say "hey I need you to send me this form and I need you to send it to a different address than the one you have on file"?

Hey honey! The IRS has instructions on how to get your lost W-2 here. Unfortunately, it sounds like you will need to contact your former employer.

the actual worst part of following people i knew in high school on social media is reading posts like "why didn't they teach us XYZ in high school!?" because 90% of the time it's like... they did. they did teach us that. you just weren't paying attention.

#why didn't they teach us how to do taxes? they did #we were walked through how to fill out a 1040 EZ and file them #why didn't they teach us not to mix bleach and ammonia? they did #it was literally on our chemistry 1 safety test #why didn't they teach us how to figure out when people are skewing facts? #they did but you copied that unit's homework from your friend #why didn't they teach us how to read statistics? they did and you had to do an entire project about it #schools neglect to teach a lot of important life skills #but it grinds my gears to no end when they complain about things I know they were taught because I was sitting in the same classroom as the

things i wish i had known when i escaped my family household and couldn't ask my parents for help

invest in a good mattress early on. there are many other ends you can save on - sleep is not one of them. this is key to how much energy you'll have throughout the day

you don't need a bedframe but you do need a slatted bed base (even if it's just pallets)

opening a bank account is easy

there's youtube tutorials for everything. how to install your washing machine, how to use tools, fixing stuff around the place. channels like dad, how do i? are a godsend

change energy provider as soon as your old deal runs out. you'll get better offers elsewhere and avoid price gouging

assemble a basic first aid kid at home: painkillers, probiotics, alcohol wipes, bandages, tweezers, antihistamine tablets - anything you might need in a pinch

and an emergency toolkit: flashlight, extra batteries, a utility knife, an adjustable wrench, multi-tool, duct tape

set your fridge to the lowest temperature it can go. the energy consumption is minimal in difference and it'll give you +4/7 days on most foods

off-brand products are almost always the same in quality and taste, if not better, for half the price

coupons will save you a lot of money in the long run

there's no reason to be shy around employees at the bank/laundromat/store; most people will be happy to help

vegetarian diets are generally cheap if you make food from scratch

breakfast is as important as they say

keep track of your budget in a notebook or excel file - e.g. rent, phone and internet bills, food, leisure so you'll have an overlook on your spending over the months

don't gamble

piracy is okay

stealing from big stores and chains is also ethically okay

keep medical bills and pharmacy receipts for tax returns

also, file your tax returns early

take up a hobby that isn't in front of a screen. pottery, music, going for a run every now and then, stuff that'll keep you busy and sane

and most importantly... you're allowed to get the stuff you want. treat yourself to the occasional mundane thing. a good scented candle. a bath bomb. that body lotion that makes you feel like royalty. the good coffee beans.

you're free and you deserve to be happy.

honestly schools really need to bring back home economics and woodshop and driving lessons and sex ed classes, etc., so the teens can be well rounded people and are at least a little prepared when it's their time to head into the "real world"

but those require more material and labor costs and probably permission from parents (like with sex ed, it's always gonna be controversial but it's still needed) so school administrators or whoever is in charge cut these programs or never have them in place at all

teens need to learn about more than just what's in their history textbook, they need art and music and food and fitness and knowledge about their bodies and how to take care of themselves bc our society believes that all 18 year olds are "adults" now and automatically know everything about the world that they will soon need to face on their own

#I'm saying this bc I'm reminded of how when I was in high school I wish we had these classes offered #our science room was once a garage where they had a mechanics course back in the 70s and 80s and that would be cool to have in 2010 #home ec and stuff should be all inclusive btw and not just a 'girls class' or a 'boys class' #'oh you're an adult now you should know how to cook and file taxes and fix your car on your own' #FUCK OFF!! #bre's posts

Did you know H&R Block wanted to charge me $30 just to talk to a customer service rep? When the problem was with their website, they want me to pay them money to ask them to fix it??

#tax season this year has been ridiculous #a lot of problems i dont usually deal with #i couldn't use their chat bot cus they kept asking for money #and when i called customer service i could hear someone typing behind the machine boice #like listening to my answers and typing them into a computer #so they KNNEW I needed to talk to someone like them #and they were just like fuck you #and telling me i didnt pay for that service #what service??? #the service that is your fucking job #to answer a goddamn question #christ #angry #but yeah whatever its done #filed #i had to look at old reddit posts dude #thats how much id rather not give them money #taxes #tax season

[ms-demeanor]

Due to some stuff brought up in recent posts I believe it is time to once again extol the virtues of Ms-Demeanor's Patented Where Did I Put That Fucking Paper Organizational Binder.

Hello! I am a disorganized adult! This is the system by which I manage my important shit like pink slips for my car and medical records and tax information.

You're going to need:

A 3-Ring Binder

Transparent Sheet Protectors

Notebook dividers (optional but VERY useful)

A backpack (optional)

So the way this system works is you put the sheet protectors into the binder. You can either use the dividers to divide the binder into sections or you can label some of the sheet protectors to make different sections but what you are generally going to do is make sections of the binder labeled things like "taxes" or "vet" or "doctor" and put a few sheet protectors in each section.

Then all of your papers with important information get crammed in that folder. You don't organize them, you don't sort them by date, you don't alphabetize. You put things vaguely relating to taxes into the sheet protectors in the taxes section. You put things relating to cars in the cars section. You don't even attempt to make this readable - you're not using sheet protectors so that you can read each page and keep it legible, you're using sheet protectors because it's a cheap plastic bag that will sit nicely in a binder.

You CAN put stuff into the individual sheet protectors when you get it, but let's be realistic you probably WON'T do that, so just tuck individual papers into the front of the binder until you get to a critical mass of paperwork then take an hour to sit down and sort into categories and put it in the binder once every six months to three years (depending on how frequently you get paperwork). Sometimes these sections will outgrow their original allotted space - since my spouse had a transplant surgery the medical section has had to become its own folder - and that's okay. If you end up with multiple folders just keep them together (this is why the backpack is an option, and one I strongly recommend).

Because yeah, if my organization system relies on opening up a drawer and putting something where it belongs as soon as I get the paper, I will simply not be organized. It's not going to happen. But I can handle a messy stack of paper that sits in one place and grows until it is time to shove it into a binder. I can't organize things for thirty seconds a day every day but I can organize things for an hour once every year or so (maybe two hours every five years when I sort out stuff I don't need like copies of warranties for parts on a car I don't own anymore).

When my mom died she had about fifty pounds of paper files in her office that were neatly organized in a system that didn't make any sense to my dad, my sister, and I. I ended up sorting through those files for twenty hours, tossing out copies of paid invoices from ten years ago and student handbooks from my junior high school. I reduced one filing cabinet, two desk file drawers, and a foot-high stack to a six inch binder that I gave to my dad. My mom died five years ago; two months ago my dad asked me about a medical document and I was able to tell him to go look for it in the medical section of the binder. It was there, because ALL IMPORTANT SHIT GOES IN THE BINDER.

Where is my birth certificate? In the binder. Where is my tax return from 2017? In the binder. Where is the record of my dog's last rabies shot? In the binder. Where are the records for my life insurance? In the binder.

A lot of what people consider "being organized" breaks down to whether or not you can find the specific things that you're looking for. Does my binder look nice? Is it aesthetic? Does it have color-coded tabs and papers all laid out neatly? Absolutely fucking not. But if you ask me where to find a paper I know that I can do so within about five minutes of shuffling through the pile of letter-folded sheets that I pulled out of the appropriate section of the binder.

I've discussed the Where Did I Put that Fucking Paper Binder before, but now it is time to expand that concept to the Backpack of Important Shit.

You likely have Important Shit that does not fit in a binder. Some of my Important Shit that does not fit in a binder is stuff like jewelry and the spare key for my car. Other stuff - the reason I decided to bring this up at all - includes my backup hard drive and packaging (including product key codes) for pretty much all of the software that I own. This is also where I store printed out copies of the recovery codes for most of the online accounts that I have.

There's a lot of weird fiddly shit that we have to have that we might not access all that often. This is the kind of stuff that might end up in junk drawers or under sinks or in disused laptop bags or kicking around under a bunch of papers in a desk drawer.

It doesn't matter so much when that weird fiddly shit is a set of hex keys or a utility knife or a protractor or a copy of a student handbook but it DOES matter when it's something that you might need to put your hands on in a hurry. If your computer crashes, you're not going to want to track down the software in the back of a filing cabinet and the backup drive from somewhere in the bowels of your desk. If you lock your keys in your car you are not going to want to figure out if your spare is in a junk drawer or the old purse where you keep semi-important stuff or the tin on your desk that has buttons and pins and headphone covers. Just put it in the Backpack of Important Shit and when you need it you know where to look.

So anyway, if you are a person who is a minor disaster who has trouble finding important things when you need them please don't think that you have to get your life together and have a nice organized filing cabinet or clear plastic bins full of documents or a neatly divided storage closet where everything from board games to backup drives has its own neatly labeled place. Just assign ONE LOCATION for important shit and start putting the important shit there. It doesn't matter if you have a filing cabinet where you keep old copies of homework and printouts of online orders and family history records - you do not need to keep everything that is file-able in one place and depending on what level of catastrophe you are it might be detrimental to you if you try to do that. It doesn't matter if you have a jewelry box where you keep your collection of gauges and wrist cuffs; if you are going to stress out about where grandma's ring is when you're digging through your collection of cheap earrings and silver pendants then *do not keep grandma's ring or any other Important, Vital, Cannot Be Lost jewelry in with your day-to-day wear*.

I live someplace that has fires. My binder got upgraded to my Backpack of Important Shit when the fires were getting uncomfortably close to the house I was living in and I wanted to have one bag to grab if we had to get out fast. Once I did that, I never took the binder out of the backpack and the backpack has now made three moves with me and has meant that I've had my birth certificate handy when I needed it in the middle of a move between two states, I was able to provide a history of my cholesterol panel going back six years to a visiting nurse, and I was able to give the exact names and contact info of my spouse's previous surgeon to the hospital when I had unexpectedly moved to a new state with three bags and my work computer at the beginning of the pandemic.

Get yourself a backpack of important shit and a folder of where the fuck did i put that paper. It is so much easier to search a backpack for important shit than to go through an entire house and it is so much easier to flip through a binder than it is to dig through a filing cabinet.

Anyway good luck and happy adulting.

If you're into sissy stuff, more power to you. There is nothing inherently wrong with it, and it has its own place in the kink community.

However.

If you directly compare having a sissy kink to being transfem, you're hurting a whole lot of people.

I'm a woman.

I go to work as a woman.

I have dinner as a woman.

I file my taxes as a woman.

I drive to doctors appointments as a woman.

I have sex as a woman.

Nothing about what I do is for pretend or for guilt-induced pleasure.

When sissy porn blogs like and reblog my pictures, I am directly compared to people who have a kink for being forced into feminization as a man, typically by other men.

Do you understand how invalidating that is?

I don't belong in that space. By putting me there, you are saying that I am just a hyper-feminised man, which I am NOT.

If you want to support the trans community AND have a sissy kink, don't fucking reblog my shit onto your sissy porn blog.

We don't belong there.
