Hi, I'm Kate. I'm 28, ex-vangelical, bisexual, with a Master of Architecture from Texas A&M. I am, decidedly, a mess and this blog definitely reflects that, but it's mine and the people who follow me seem to like it. You can always message me if you ever need to talk to someone!

What is a bonbon?
I was listening to an american podcast and they were talking about bonbons being chocolates which - as a german - confused me, so I decided to look it up.
Apparently the word bonbon in english means what we call Praline??? Huh????
So now I am asking once more: Tumblr what is a bonbon to you?
A: a type of hard candy
B: a type of chocolate
#literally only ever heard of bonbons as chocolates#though if I'm being honest I probably wouldn't actuallg use the term for either#I'd call the first one hard candy and the second chocolates

now that jimmy carter is dead can i just say what an absolute power move it was for him to run for governor of georgia with segregation as his platform, only to do a complete 180 once in office. insane
#man was a legend#and knowing the flags will be at half-mast on trump's inauguration he's still getting the last laugh#President Carter you will be deeply missed

Even $500,000. You could conceivably earn $500,000 a year by opening your own business or just being an anesthesiologist (average salary for anesthesiologists is $453K)
That's still not true wealth. One major health issue like cancer, could just as easily bankrupt them--especially if the person in the family making that money is the one who gets sick.
They might act like they're crazy rich--and frankly earning that much compared to my current salary would feel rich--but it's not the same thing. Someone at that level probably isn't extorting people to make a profit, they just likely have a very specialized niche.
Focus on the power that someone's money gives them and not the dollar amount. Both Brian Thompson and Elon Musk are able to use their wealth to sway public policy that affects all of us. THAT is the problem
Okay, so, friends. Occasionally I see an American post on here about “guillotine the rich,” and it turns out that “rich” means “anyone making over $50k.”
We need to clear this shit up REAL fast, because otherwise it’s gonna wind up like the French Revolution, where more middle class and poor people were killed for being “class traitors” than actual nobles. (Did you know that France has more nobles today than during the French Revolution? While there were a few showy executions, many nobles did just fine or experienced minor setbacks.)
If someone makes $60,000 a year, they are making about twice as much as a full time worker making minimum wage in California, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, DC, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, or Washington State.
Brian Thompson, the CEO of United HealthCare who was just assassinated in New York City, earned $10 million a year, which means he earned 333 times minimum wage in those states. Basically, he cleared an annual minimum wage salary in just over a day. And that “rich” person making $60k/year that you want to guillotine? He made their salary in a bit over two days of a year.
So he was rich, right?
Well. Tesla is trying to give Elon Musk a pay package of $101 billion. That is 10,100 times what Brian Thompson earned and 3,366,667 times more than a minimum wage worker. (Tesla hasn’t been successful yet because of a complicated lawsuit from a shareholder, but they’ll get there.) If you are a minimum wage worker, Elon Musk makes more every SECOND than you do in a year. And that “rich” person who you want to guillotine? He makes their salary in about 1.6 seconds. Even when he’s sleeping.
Now, remember. The Muskrat also is the head of SpaceX, the Boring Company, X.ai, and X.com, so this is just ONE pay package for him.
What I’m saying is — you have much more in common when it comes to economic grievances with someone earning $60,000 (or even $200,000) than the ultra wealthy that have real power. They are not the people you should expend your energy on.

For the purposes of this poll, do NOT count the following:
Your own birth (unless there were complications/urgent concerns)
Routine check-ups or scheduled-in-advance appointments that just happened to be at a hospital
Visiting or accompanying someone else to the hospital
Use your discretion as to whether to count visits to urgent care.
–
We ask your questions anonymously so you don’t have to! Submissions are open on the 1st and 15th of the month.
#does urgent care count?#because like the actual ER very rarely. Maybe three times total and two were scheduled surgeries#but the urgent care? at least five off the top of my head#I was a very clumsy child

Hey so that was a great date, yeah, but I don't think it's going to work out. Nono you didn't do anything wrong, and I have indeed had a crush on you since we started high school, it's just... well, I didn't want to bring it up at the time but we kinda got sucked into a portal fantasy midway through. We saved the kingdom over and over, relying on our knowledge of and trust in each other every time, throwing ourselves into the firing line to protect each other and using each others' conviction as a rock. We got married and lived a happy life together until the portal sucked us back mid-battle and you gave up all your memories of our journey in order to save my life right when we ended up back in the coffee shop. Yeah that was when I got a bit weird and went to the bathroom.
Anyway I thought we could push on and make the date work but I have all of these memories of secrets that this you never chose to share, decisions that this you never made, and intimacies that this you never experienced. And it's kind of screwing with the vibe yeah. Also on the date it was really, blatantly clear that you're sixteen whereas I have memories of ruling a fantasy kingdom for thirty years so like... that's a problem all on its own. Anyway this you just feels more like a daughter to me. A daughter with the woman I gave my heart and soul to over and over and received like in return, only to lose her forever on the journey home. On the plus side I can definitely help you with your math homework now.
#I would ask them to prove it. To tell me something no one else could possibly know#I would believe them#I would tell them to find me again in 10 years#that we could fall in love again#that it would be different this time because they would tell me everything#and I would make sure it is different this time#even if that means this time we die together#because even without the memories I gave up there's a part of my soul that knows them and a hole where they used to be#and I do not want to live this life without them either#but that's just me

Someone send this to Sabrina Carpenter
Sabrina Carpenter wrote a song called “Who needs a boyfriend when I have a dog” about how men’s company is useless compared to the companionship of a dog and I was crying so hard bc I love my puppy so much and I woke up crying as well.
