#understanding taxes

[dhmis-autism]

saw someone in the tag comparing our duck to daffy and it invoked my childhood memories of watching the looney tunes show. anyways have you guys seen that shit lately? it’s actually insane. anyways pics related.

love and light to everyone but if i see one more post that’s like “the point of asoiaf is that feudalism is BAD” i’m going to rip out my hair and start eating dirt and worms. like yes, it is bad. yes, monarchies are bad. yes so true it’s annoying when people ignore all of that and focus on who they think deserves the throne more. but that’s not the point—that is the premise? it’s the beginning of the exploration and deconstruction. functionally this system is rigid (specifically in terms of gender and class) and horrifically violent: so what it’s really like to live in it? to try to be a hero, a knight, to be a lady in a world where your body belongs to your family, your lord, your order? is it possible to be a good person in a hierarchal world like this, with such vast power imbalances woven throughout it and every relationship and interaction that you have informed by that? how do you navigate that imbalance in order to have meaningful relationships—can you every truly do it? and who decides what is good? how do you know if it’s truly right or it just felt right because it’s what you wanted to do? what about the people who have no name, no family, no order: what happens to them? don’t they matter? what if in a lifetime of looking the other way or actively causing others harm, you do a few things—maybe one thing—that’s objectively good: does it mean anything? does it matter, even if no one ever knows? what if the best thing you ever did broke every vow you made, every law that governs your society? how do you live with that dissonance?

what’s it like to be a ruler, to be a king or queen—is it possible to be a good one in such an unequal system? to wield power justly? who decides what is just? who decides who should rule? at which point does the amount of power someone can have cross the line into too much? is it when you stop trying to figure out how to use it correctly and worry only about how to keep it? if holding onto it costs you everything, your family and all your relationships, is it still worth it? what if having that much power available is necessary to the survival of your people, maybe even your world, but when it’s misused the carnage left behind is beyond articulation—is it still worth it? are the lives it saves worth the lives it took? how do you measure that? who carries the weight of that choice and how? how do you live with it? how do you go on living in a world that can be harsh and cruel and unfair, a world where your good intentions and your personhood seem to matter very little in the face of someone else’s greed or when compared to the yoke of your duty? and the questions never stop and the answers when and if they come are rarely easy, but the point is that you keep asking and keep trying because that’s what it means to be alive lol

#went into my for you tab but some of those things were not for me actually #the ‘[whatever] is BAD’ pov is a totally understandable reaction to ppl fighting over the iron throne i do get that #but it’s SO reductive and especially since hotd aired i see it everywhere #and it’s like that’s not the point?? the point is… what are aragorn’s tax policies. u know? #also. it’s very much possible to recognize the flaws of the system and still feel frustrated for say rhaenyra or rhaenys or cersei #also fr if u actually read this i hope it was in the voice of jonathan frakes #asoiaf #txt

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

beauty of the divorce quartet actually is that no matter where you draw the relationship lines you get a fun and fucked up dynamic to think about

#random thoughts #personally --> #martyn/cleo are mirrors of eachother and the most likely to salvage an actual healthy relationship out of the mess theyre in #BUT canonically they're just divorced obvs #scott/pearl have whatever megamind and metro man have going on if it was soundtracked to therefore you and me #scott/martyn is just straight up toxic yaoi. using eachother cus they can't get their exes back #cleo/pearl are a weird blend of scorn and pity for eachother. they think they understand eachother but never really do. u get me. #scott/cleo would get married for tax purposes. real birds of a feather. i would totally poison you for your fortune lol haha jk unless.... #martyn/pearl could be best friends honestly if it wasn't for the whole thing. i think they'd set things on fire together and think its funn #my art #<-- kind of i guess

idk why, but your art is the image my browser uses for tumblr, which means I get to look at it all the time~

Tumblr said “you need a silly little guy to wave at you” and boy howdy is that silly guy waving.

#ask #Preview image selection is a mysterious force I do not understand - but I am honoured to have my silly doodle showcased #i am also so deeply flattered - even if its random chance I am still going AAAA #still not over the fact that people not only percieve my art but enjoy it!! #I hope he is bringing you as much warmth and joy as you need (plus some!!) #its a cold and cruel world out there. we all need a silly guy to get by #I have a hunch puffy sleeve wwx is losing terribly so I hope we can still remember him fondly from this #he’s telling you how to be a good bird: 1) get puffy and 2) beep a lot #3) eat seeds 4) avoid taxes #this is also the advice the other wwx offer you. Who said what is another mystery!

mentioned maybe switching to something in tech career-wise to my therapist and he told me someone he knows who got a certification in cyber security w/o any other schooling and 2 years later is now making 300k/year working from home. grits teeth

no but for real not to beat a dead horse that i havent seen and dont plan to but they keep trying to do live action atla and i just Do Not Get It? its already been done? quite well? the original cartoon is very good and it doesn't feel like its actually really lacking in a way that a remake would improve upon, and it doesnt seem like either remake has improved upon it, and it doesnt feel like they ever get the tone right either? and why are they only ever trying to adapt atla? why not the comics? or korra ? the adventures of fire lord zuko. i mean fuck i dont even like that they turned toph into a cop but they could do a Toph crime drama procedural. probably shouldnt i dont think that would be good but at least it would be like. a new idea. fucking, adapt the kyoshi novels maybe. i wont forgive you if you fuck them up of course, but im already not forgiving the live action ATLAs so like idk. why not try something new. something a little more original.

#toy txt post #i dont understand why it has to be adapted to live action in the first place honestly but like maybe even just try Something Else #maybe even like a brand new show even. could try that. how many different original new shows have the streaming services #filmed and produced and then didnt release for weird tax cut reasons again even tho i thought that was one of the things the writers and #sag aftra were trying to fix with the strike? and then the companies all just keep doing it anyway...? cool? #fucking do a live action about The Cabbage Guy and his life #why does it have to be a retelling of the original show that was already good? i dont get it #im trying not to be too harsh here bc im sure theres plenty of one piece fans who feel that way about the live action vahgddjsvuvdjevj

Payment for surrogacy gets really complicated because on one hand paying for it means most surrogates will end up being lower class women who need the money and will be easier to exploit, something which is rife in the current implementation of surrogacy, but on the other hand being pregnant is genuinely like body horror to me and I think that if you go through that for someone else you should get a billion dollars.

#surrogacy #this is a joke post but also like... no i'm being serious #i understand why paying for something potentially dangerous is immoral #on the other hand... this undermining of consent is the basis our entire capitalistic system lives on #to force people into exhausting cruel undepraying and yes dangerous jobs #so why is it that only for something like childbirth are we like noooo they cant be financially compensated for this incredibly hard thing #like why is ONLY this thing bad why isn't it just as bad if that same woman who would've become a surrogate has to work in a sweatshop #i think it's also got to do with our mythologizing around pregnancy as this wonderful beauty of nature thing #we are capable of recognizing the body horror when it's unwanted (well. some of us.) #but pregnancy doesn't stop being incredibly physically and mentally taxing just because the baby is wanted #so we see being paid for it as this corruption of the 'natural' 'good' pregnancy and therefore obviously worse. which. i am not a fan of

Hey babes, sorry I've been dead, but I coulda been literally dead if I had not gone.

I didn't hurt myself and we're still figuring things out. I would love to share but I've already forgotten what I've learned. I hope I get more guidance and time for healing and learning on how to lead my life in a better direction than where I was. But that takes time and effort.

I hope to get some rest, get some support, and get it together. But right now, I don't think it's healthy for me to worry about art in the way I do now. I may not express it here, but trying to maintain my art endeavors/projects while there's so much bullshit going on backstage is not helping me. Especially since I'm not even obligated to do so. But trying to force myself to do something I am currently unable to do will just make me feel worse. I'll follow my dreams and passions one day, but I've been putting off the healing process for years.

So I guess it's better to get better now so I can get the ball rolling again. Why drive on a flat tire?

#i was in there for a week and ill continue partial hospitalization for a few weeks #i hope i learn more and i hope i get specific help to my issues. because whay i learned there didnt directly pertain to me #but having structured daily life felt nice. but it wasnt all relaxing because there were still responisibilites on the outside world #tapping on the window or calling me on the phone. chose the best time for a meltdown. i have taxes and credit card bills to take care of #but if i stress about it now ill jsut be going back to the ER and thats no good. the hospital was so cold dude im glad im home with blankets #this is mr octopus again. im glad i broguh hom to work. i went straight to er from work and if i had no plushie with me #i probably would have stayed longer or be even more mentally unstable and distressed. its good to have comfort items #i dont think i want to know ehat if be like without some kind of companion or grounding item with me. i dont want to imagine me without em #its okay to have a little friend with you. i would be so distraught. everyone loved me there #the nurses the patients the residents yhe social workers the students #mr. octopus made them happy because of his big smile and mine too. the people there did not expect the mass amoutns of stress and depression #in this bubbly happy baby witb a happy pink octopus. one of the patients thought it was the meds the happy pills they gave me #no im jsut naturally like this. or artificially like this. i still dont know how to express or understand my feelings #if what im showing is real or not because i know ill be the happiest in the room wherever i go. maybe its a front or a mask #but when im like that kinda hard to know whats really underneath. they always ask me if im okay but i turn to myself #and its nondescript like ive put a blanket over how i really feel. its weird. the bubbly energy is blinding. #words #mr octopus #mental health #doodles

My brother asked me during his gameplay of MKX if lord Raiden pays taxes, I said probably not because he's a God, and I don't think a God would be required to pay taxes..

It's been 5 minutes and he's going off about taxes and political geography about how it's impossible he doesn't pay taxes. And I'm?? Just wondering why he's concerned about this??

#i pay taxes but doesnt mean i understand anything about it #I thought he'd be asking lore related questions #Tax evader Raiden #mortal kombat #mkx

like respectfully where are the modern au vashwood fanfics where vash is some 40 year old loser who still cries when has to figure out how taxes work and somehow still managing to get ID'd at a bar, while wolfwood is some 25 year old that hit peak dad energy 25 years early and keeps getting mistaken for a 30 year old.

#vashwood #trigun #nicholas d. wolfwood #trigun wolfwood #vash the stampede #trigun vash #vash definitely commits tax evasion but its in a 'i do not understand them and at this point i'm too afraid to ask' #bonus points if wolfwood wears hawaiian dad shirts but like he still got his tiddies out #wolfwood needs a pair of dad sandals asap

I got this at a mall today, it was still shrink wrapped when I bought it so as far as I could tell it was mint. But I opened it and I think there's a disc missing, i think maybe it's Disc 2 of season 2, part 1 (that's a mouthful, but that is how they chose to label these...). I looked online and I'm supposed to have 10 DVDs in here but I've counted over and over and there's only nine. Here's pictures of the DVDs in the set:

I think the spread where Danny on a green background is opposite Vlad is supposed to have another dvd in between. Am I understanding this right? I can't play these to verify until later, I just wanted to see what the box art looked like on the inside...

#ghostly posts #mannn I bought this at a mall that sells used media. do they even make these anymore to be able to complete the series??? #the mall was literally in a different state I paid SALES TAX to not get the full set abskdndbdh #danny phantom #-> also I understand that lots of box sets use the same base and often end up with an empty back #so like that empty slot is not what makes me think I'm missing one #what made me confused is how there's like #disc 1 season 2 part 1. and then disc 1 season 2 part 2. and then disc 2 season 2 part 2. #I was like 'wouldn't part 1 of season 2 be equally as long as part 2?' #and I have seen multiple sources say that there's ten discs after looking it up.
