#i just dislike spending money

[lupismaris]

My therapists keep telling me to stop othering myself and I'm trying but it's really fuckin hard when I'm being othered

#i get im spending a lot of time with fellow audhd and on the spectrum queers i do and i get that means compassion and empathy #is potentially going to be lacking in some ways because they are learned behaviors that do not come naturally or at all #but for all the effort i put in to getting over the sense of being 'othered' and 'the outsider' some of them do a damn good job #just nerfing the work ive done with a lot of carelessness #if you're doing a group pool of money for a gift and i offer you cash dont single me out!! as the only one!! who doesn't need to pay!! #because its cash not venmo. like regardless of the implications of it its fuckin humiliating to be singled out in a GROUP CHAT #no matter how nice you try to make it if you're ultimately saying you dont want my money #dont cut me off and cut me out at practice because you're insecure and dont want to take advice from someone who isnt a coach #don't cut me out because im one of the only people who likes and exhibits masculinity in a way you dislike. #like. how am i supposed to feel? other than humiliated and exhausted and pissed off when someone else's bullshit #is constantly overrunning everything else and everyone else #tbd im sick and i need to do my tshot and i dont want to go to practice today . this teammate sends off kill bill sirens i stg

i fucking hate biased journalism, in my eyes it’s borderline brainwashing because you’re basically being told what to think by the publication. not to mention how biased media is usually heavily censored so you don’t even know the full picture. why is it so hard to just write down all the facts in a clear yet unbiased, unopinionated way and publish them to allow the public to form an opinion themselves? fucks sake

#i wanted to go to school for journalism because of this #but like. look at the state of journalism today. i doubt i’d be able to write uncensored and unbiased true crime reports #it’s just a waste of money. i’m not trying to spend six figures getting a degree just to write about some tiktokker #hal #this is also why i really dislike cnn and fox and other 24 news stations. usually very biased

#@not my opinion anon #Hi love! #so sorry Im gonna try and answer you in tags bc I just dont have quite the energy to generate a debate in my asks rn #also your English is absolutely fine Im no better #look the opinion you quoted is with all my respect bullshit #I know it tries to make a point but when your opinion is overshadowed with obvious dislike to Louis I dont think it makes a point specially #when I dont think he ever mentioned anyone by name when he discusses something that concerns the industry #and r #thats where the point get lost #I now same people who misread what he say are the same that insist on louis and harry being separate individual but whenever one of them #make a comment about something concerning the industry in general they bring the other #he is an artist who have his own personal experience being part of the industry and I the way he spends his money privately has nothing to #do when it comes to structuring pricing around tickets or merch etc etc #he has a point... expensive tickets limit access to many fans and the industry of entertainment is built around profit so like structuring #pricing doesnt come from nothing and the necessity of it is created by the same mechanism that charge for it #and why the point gets lost when people dont nuance or bring another artist into the mix its because there is a difference between #the artist as an individual and the industry as a power dynamic structure #and if people started to listen to louis' understanding of the industry as a structure and not pointing fingers they will get how actually #important the conversation is and how vital to have artist aware of their concert attendees

Kinda tired of being alive lol

#it's mostly a food thing because i have a very limited diet #because i just genuinely cant do new foods so im stuck eating the same shit every day #and im getting tired of the same thing every nighy yknow? #and i just really wish i could eat new foods lmao #anyway i just cant handle having to eat the same thing i am starting to dislike for the next like 5 years let alone more #and also the loneliness and feeling like im a failure because i cant do anything #but right now its mostly just the food shit #also like the amount of fucking money it costs to just be alive is so much #im tired of having to spend so freaking much money #it would be slightly better if i could find an apartment that didn't take like 90% of my paychecks lmao

book musings don’t mind me

I was really so disappointed with the long way to a small angry planet. As soon as I identified WHY it was bothering me, I just started getting so annoyed I just returned it without finishing it. I didn’t want to be disappointed because I really loved the setup and the characters, and thought it had so much potential! But I really just couldn’t get over the way it was written, and the way it felt like Nothing actually happened ever, despite there being SO MANY things that were happening. It just felt like none of it mattered? Things would come up and be resolved with a neat little moral or something to say and that’s it. But I was over halfway through the book, and I don’t think I learned more about anybody than I did in the first couple chapters. It felt so devoid of any conflict or imperfection that it just wasn’t interesting lmao. There was a review that compared it to a tv show like Firefly, and Yeah. It felt like it was trying to be an episodic tv show, with fun little side adventures with the same cast, but that’s not what I want out of a book! I’d go watch a show for that!! I want a cohesive story PLEASE. There was just too many offshoots and too many side plots that I just didn’t care and none of them were interesting. Which is a shame because the world building was very compelling and I Wanted to be invested, but there was just barely any focus on the interesting plot points. I just had such a hard time with it, and I couldn’t finish it. I skimmed through the rest of the book to see if it got more interesting, but it seemed like it was just more disconnected side stories. Which was maybe the point, but it just felt like….. uninteresting. There was nothing to be invested in.

#also I hate saying this as criticism but it also felt a lot like the author just wanted to say something about [social issue] #and made something to address it #but in a way that felt very patronizing to me at least #like the characters stopping and looking directly in the camera and saying people who steal often do out of necessity and we should share #or something #frustrating. #anyway. #nothing wrong with wanting stories to be comfortable #but this was just… too comfortable. it seemed so afraid of having any conflict or having anybody be dislikable or have flaws #the only character others didn’t like was barely there #and didn’t even seem that bad. just standoffish and not social. #glad I borrowed it from the library and didn’t spend money on it lol #I’m getting so distrusting of popular recommendations #I can only take reccs from cool people with good taste now #back to reading fantasy for now. #I’m still shadowbanned here I think so I’m taking advantage of not showing up anywhere to complain

[poirot]

can I just say that doesthedogdie is one of the best websites on the entire internet and idek how I lived before I found this site

#adgsha it's so good #like it makes my life so much easier #i'm never gonna spend money on a game again that I end up not being able to play #it's just SO GOOD #if you have any triggers or phobias or even just dislikes #and are cautious when consuming new media #THIS is the site for you #this is so random but I just love this site LOL #shut up sabrina

[silentspaces]

mmmm nothing like watching a road trip show at the seaside to make you feel a rare bout of homesickness

#I've only been homesick a handful of times during my time here #and it's always me missing the ocean and the beach #I just miss being able to go any time I want and walk in the sand and smell the briny air and feel that cool breeze and just *exist* #in this particular moment I am feeling an extreme dislike about my current living location in the middle of a tiny valley #the farthest I've ever lived from the ocean #and I miss my hometown real real bad right now #man it would be nice to live there as an adult with adult money and being able to spend it on food and tiny bookstores #or spend my weekends reading books by the beachside and not feel guilty about having unfinished homework #I just want to ride my bike along The Strand all afternoon and take in the string of beach communities along the seaside #if I could just rent a room for like 2-4 months out of the year...I'd be content #my life

I’m sure someone has talked about this before but one thing I absolutely love about tbosas is how Snow’s descent into villainy is never once presented as something that was inevitable

So many villain origin stories portray this idea of a person who tries incredibly hard to be a good person, who takes every opportunity to be kind and to better themselves, but are ultimately doomed to fail by the narrative. Their environment and their circumstances make it impossible for them to be a good person, and while this is effective from a storytelling point of view it’s not exactly accurate to real life

In real life there is always a point where a bad person makes the decision to do something bad, they make the decision to prioritise themselves, their own power, money or desires over someone else. That’s how real life dictators are made, they are presented with every opportunity to be good, and they purposefully choose to not take it

This makes Snow’s storyline so effective because he is given so many opportunities to do the right thing and yet, at every single turn, he chooses to serve himself instead, exactly like how real dictators are made

Snow, unlike most people we see in the capitol, is in a unique position where he could genuinely have the chance to understand and relate to the people from the districts. He, unlike his classmates, is poor and spends most nights going hungry, he witnessed firsthand the cruelty of the capitol when Clemensia was bitten by the snakes for nothing more than lying about doing her homework, when his sister was forced to sell herself on the streets in order to feed the both of them

Throughout his book, the three people he is closest to are Tigris (who dislikes the hunger games, is a rebel, and a victim of the capitol forced to turn to prostitution), Sejanus (who is originally from district 2, dislikes the capitol and knows he will never be accepted there, and also a rebel) and Lucy Gray (who is a victim of the hunger games, from district 12, and is also treated horribly by the capitol). These are all people who gave him an opportunity to realise the cruelty of the system he was in, a chance to directly confront his prejudices and see that people from the districts are just the same as him, and yet he still refuses to take the chance to change

He is given every opportunity, he’s sent away from the capitol to be a peacekeeper in the districts, he forms personal connections with people from the districts, he helps Sejanus perform funeral rites, and yet at every moral crossroads he comes to he makes the wrong decision. He didn’t have to become a villain, and yet he made the choice to do so anyway, despite every chance he was given

I think it’s a really effective portrayal of Snow as a character, and it’s a very effective villain origin story for the type of villain that Snow is. It never once excuses him from his actions because it highlights just how accountable he was for his actions

Hmm... looking into wool socks, seems like "super" is the term equivalent to thread count, though that there's no standard for it, and it seems that worsted combed is the processing that makes for the most comfortable least itchy stuff

Now I'm no expert on this, I just want warm socks that are comfortable. I just happened across a suit site and their info seems more broadly applicable

So maybe I can leverage it into warm socks, at the very least the bit about worsted vs woolen

#just want comfortable and durable clothes you know? #and the older I get the more I realize I don't know #like I'd really like good new shoes; but last time I went out I realized I don't know what that means #(and then my grandma was so chomping at the bit to spend money I got boots it turns out I dislike) #I just really really want to take some time to study and find people who know more than I do #and I want to figure out stuff like what materials will survive cat claws #(though maybe trimming their nails is the better solution) #and I want good high quality materials that'll last #even if I have to pay more up front #enough of fast fashion

[jackleopard]

ughhhh cannot decide if I want to spend my money on these pair of Reeboks or not

#here’s the situation: I need white sneakers and I’m going to have to spend my money on a pair #the ones I specifically want are the Reeboks club c 85 BUT they don’t sell them here and buying online with shipping would be too expensive #so I’ve been on the hunt for other shoes that I can find here that are in that style and ofc there are some pumas and adidas ones and #i found one out of pumas that I don’t dislike and that are kind of in the same price range as the reeboks club c 85 #*pair of pumas #the thing is I can’t decide wether to buy them or not because I don’t love them either?? like they are just fine #and like I was willing to spend that money on the reeboks bc I love them but I can’t decide if the pumas are worth it or not #and today I found a pair of reeboks that they do bring here and it’s the club c double revenge #specifically with aqua and pink details #and they are really cute but a little bit pricier #and they have a 20% discount until tomorrow which would leave them still pricier than the reeboks I originally wanted and the pumas #but like not THAT expensive #however I don’t know if I’ll buy them and still be left wanting the ogs reeboks and I definitely can’t afford to buy two pair of shoes #I’m so indecisive when it comes to spending my money

i feel like it’s an extremely unpopular opinion but i really dislike todd chavez as a character and the more they flesh him out the more i hate him tbh

#i tend to dislike man child characters in general but the fact that he constantly get rewarded by the narrative for just being there...t #*that really makes me hate his ass tbh #i feel like they agree with me to an extent based on that one time where they made him win a ton of money and immediately give it away #i feel like they knew that actually making him rich so easily would make people annoyed so they immediately back tracked #and like i get it he's pretty much the only nice character on the whole show #but that doesn't make him or most of the episode about him interesting #some are but mostly because of the other characters so... #basically i wish we had gotten more beatrice episode #anyway i'm not tagging this and i think y'all are way past caring about bojack horseman so it's whatever #this post is pretty much just me finally admitting something after spending 4 seasons and 3 episodes trying to convince myself #that i was wrong #but i'm not he's just annoying and boring and there's that on that

i’m serious about you

summary: gojo realizes just how much he likes you when you go on your first date

note: feeling a bit soft for gojo rn so pls enjoy this little scenario…it’s 2am and i just wanna write something before i go to bed <3 gojo is probably a little ooc but this is my blog so!!!

i’m a lil rusty when ur comes to writing fics but i hope u enjoy!

warnings: fluff fluff fluff + she/her pronouns

masterlist :)

“I’m surprised this place is open so late.”

You mutter absentmindedly as you look at the pastries behind the glass, face at a respectable distance while Gojo stands beside you. He leans down to see what you see, his own eye catching the chocolate cake sitting on the top shelf.

“Nanami told me about it a while ago,” he explains. “Says he likes to come here when he can’t sleep since they’re open so late.”

“Do you like this bakery?”

Gojo watches as you pick and choose which pastries you want to try. The girl behind the counter lifts her gaze to him, eyes widening before averting her gaze to the small box in her hands.

“Haven’t tried it, actually,” Gojo says. He rubs the back of his neck when you turn around. “I, uh, wanted to wait. To try it with you, I mean.”

He sees your mouth morph into a shy smile and he can’t help but return it. Gojo turns and orders a beverage from the cashier, watching as her fingers fumble with the buttons before she relays the bill.

You’re about to pull out your wallet when Gojo reacts quicker than you can comprehend. You watch as he gives his credit card to the cashier without batting an eyelash. He laughs when you huff and grumble about being able to pay for the pastries since he paid for dinner, but he bumps his hips with yours and tells you it‘s on him.

You look so perfect under the awful fluorescent lights in your best dress and hair let down. He’s not used to seeing you like this; so carefree without your worries tucked away in that pretty little head of yours.

Gojo used to think he’d make it through life without relying on anyone and that he couldn’t count on other people for his own source of happiness and companionship. But he can’t deny there’s something about you that tugs at his heart strings a bit too aggressively.

This feeling follows him to the morning prior, when he asked you to accompany him to dinner. Gojo had guessed that you liked him more than you let on but he’d be lying if he said he didn’t feel the same. This new sensation in the pit of his stomach travels with him tonight, especially when he takes a step back to fully absorb the way you look in his jacket. It dwarfs your shorter stature yet Gojo thinks it was made for you to wear.

The girl behind the counter turns around to finish the order, leaving the two of you to your wits for the time being. Gojo senses that this—casual dating or otherwise—isn’t something you do often. He silently thanks Shoko for drilling him about you (likes, dislikes, who you are as a person aside from the so-called friend group you two belong in) because he sees your finger tapping against the side of your leg and decides to make a move.

“I really like spending time with you,” Gojo starts. “I could do this again and again if you let me.”

“Really?” you ask, sounding something akin to disbelief. Your dress follows your movements as you turn around but all Gojo can focus on is the way your cheeks begin to blush. How cute.

He takes a step forward, nodding. “Believe it or not, I really enjoy spending all of my money on cute girls.”

“Is that so?“ you ask with an uptick in your voice. “Wonder if I’m the cutest, then.”

Gojo knows you’re joking by the way you’re smiling at him, but he wants to set the record straight.

“You are,” he says, “because you’re the only one.”

A soft sound distracts the two of you and he looks past your shoulder to see the cashier has set his beverage on the counter. Gojo thanks her and grabs the cup when he notices notices she’s written her phone number on the back of the surface. His stomach drops when he sees your eyes linger on the penmanship.

He panics.

“I must be special.”

Your voice lacks the humor from moments prior, eyes glazing over the written numbers while Gojo pathetically stands like he’s a frozen statue. He doesn’t know why he cares what you think of him nor why he wants to disprove the theory that he can’t settle down because of an innate need to flirt with everything that breathes. He watches you swallow and avert your gaze to the exit sign when he nods furiously.

“Yeah, you are.”

Gojo throws the beverage in the trash can beside him and cups your jaw in both of his hands to pull you into a tender kiss in the middle of a poorly lit bakery with two other patrons. He thinks your lips taste like coconut and sugar, so soft that he could keep his mouth on you forever and never complain.

He must be doing something right because you’re kissing him back.

You pull away first and he laughs at your flustered state, leaning in to press another quick kiss to your lips before you can escape him. He pays no mind to the girl who walks into the back room.

“I’ll spend however long it takes to make you understand that I’m serious about you,” Gojo promises.

“You better send Nanami a thank you card.” You grab the box of pastries. “Taking me here was a good start.”

Yeah, he thinks. She’s the one.
