i keep coming back to 'i was a functioning alcoholic til nobody noticed my new aesthetic' because i do distinctly remember conversations about how taylor seemed to be drinking a lot more and getting drunk at like every awards show she went to. and those conversations were coming from a place of concern and of hoping that she was alright and that this wasn't a problem.
so to then say 'ugh i can't believe no one noticed this problem i had' when i know that people definitely did, and on the same album say that fans who are genuinely concerned about a new relationship that you are in are just 'bitching and moaning'? what do you want from them? you're talking about so many people who do at least believe that they are coming from a place of care and concern, and you are totally dismissing them on both ends of a scale!
not to mention that her implying that since nobody (???) was noticing her ~aesthetic~ drinking problem she just stopped having it is a bit of a kick in the teeth to people who do have drinking problems and can't just stop having them, since that's not how it fucking works.

Sometimes it just strikes me in full force that corporations will sacrifice the environment for more profit, knowing all the while that doing so will eventually kill both them and all of us - and still not fucking caring

i'm not happy with the way jay's exit has been written and fully believe it's out of character for him to let it be taken this far. HOWEVER i cannot stand seeing people saying that "jay did to hailey what erin did to him" because no, jay did not do to hailey what erin did to him
jay did to hailey what jay did to erin
jay started spiraling with his ptsd and unresolved trauma and pushed erin away. he BROKE UP WITH HER. it doesn't matter that he was going to propose to her -- they were broken up and to her, fully over. he moved out and she was facing the unfortunate reality of having to move on from that relationship. and even though i think it was ooc for her to leave without saying goodbye, she had NO OBLIGATION to him when she left town
with hailey, jay again started spiraling and pushed her away by leaving and essentially ghosting her. so even though this is lowkey consistent with his character, it completely ignores all of the growth he's had over the years, and the difference is that they were literally married which makes it so much worse for him to do that
so i'll say it again, LOUDER for the people in the back:
jay did not do to hailey what erin did to him
jay did to hailey what JAY DID TO ERIN

I just think its really fucked that people are now taking fics they like, fics they DIDN’T write and are feeding it into an AI bot so that it can make them generated fics, like even if Ao3 isn’t doing anything about this because it isn’t breaking the rules it’s still stealing fics from writers who literally do this for free. It’s gonna spam Ao3 which is meant to be an archive for fanwork, not an AI bot. So instead of supporting fandom writers or writing their own fics these assholes are doing this. I don’t know why fic writers even bother to create when people are constantly looking for ways to steal or monetize fics for their apps without consent or use in their bots or whatever and totally ignore how that affects fandom writers.

taking bets on how long i'll be able to continually either a) avoid my mother or b) answer her questions about what's happened to my voice, every time she notices it, with "allergies" or "i've been having nosebleeds" or something even more nonsensical

while i still have not been hired and am still scared, i was able to pay my rent today. i would NOT have been able to do that if it wasn't for the people (they know who they are) who donated money to help and who purchased a tarot reading from me, no matter how small or large. i can't imagine how much more frightened i would be if i didn't have february rent.
i've been asking myself a lot recently: how are we expected to survive late stage capitalism and the rise of fascism? i know the only way i've been able to make it this far is through the kindness offered by others.
while i have a staunch philosophy that people of all kinds, particularly queer & neurodivergent & disabled & bipoc, should not be required to work simply to survive and that the phrase "cost of living" is horrifying, i still struggle to feel worthy of any financial help given to me. somehow i cannot apply this set of beliefs to my own life. i think "i haven't earned this."
but then i try to remind myself: do i need to earn the ability to keep my current roof over my head? do i need to earn the right to eat three meals a day? do i need to earn the care to keep my body healthy? no.
so i want to say to all those who made my rent payment today possible: i am more grateful than i can express! i hope i will be able to pay it forward soon if my luck changes.
sending love to my fellow neurodivergents who are struggling
sending love to my fellow queers who are struggling
sending love to bipoc who are experiencing oppressions that i won't ever be able to comprehend
and sending love and gratitude to all the individuals who do not let the brainwashing and indoctrination of profit over people deter them from investing in the life, health, & dignity of all people

what ARE your anti-dipshit with a clipboard and a confident stride measures?
"You are not allowed into the facility without presenting identification. Okay, lovely. I also need your site specific training for specific hazards of this location. Okay, thank you, finding that on record. Okay, so who is your plant contact? And what work are you here to do precisely? Your work order number should be on the job assessment that your supervisor should have been sent when setting up this job....oh? You’re missing any one of those things? Sorry I cannot allow you into the facility today.”

The current wave of anti LGBT violence very explicitly hinges on online outrage, and we should know better than to play into it. It doesn't matter who you are or who your target audience is--you need to learn to bite your tongue and just keep scrolling when you see something you don't like. Stop sharing screenshots of that gay guy who posts about his crazy sex parties, that drag queen you think looks busted, that trans person you think is "cringe," all of it. I know many of us like to take lighthearted (and sometimes not so lighthearted) jabs at each other for a laugh, but especially in today's political climate you cannot provoke outrage about LGBT people without it getting out of hand. If you think you can delineate between the good ones and the bad ones, you will quickly yourself on the wrong side of that line.
