My financial advise for you in the current climate and impending recession is to invest in cats instead of things like the stock market or real estate, cats have more value since they can purr, give you cuddle and kisses, also they are cute.

Aro culture is:

“You’ll get a crush someday!”

Five years later, seventeen years old, no crush and forced into a toxic relationship because your mom is toxic

I'm sorry that that has happened to you. To you, and anyone else in these situations:

You know yourself. Even if your current aromanticism is a phase, that doesn't mean people should be invalidating your current feelings and intentions. You deserve to be listened to and respected.

As much as is possible, establish boundaries in your relationships. I will always advocate that a boundary is not "Do not do this", a healthy boundary looks more like "If you do this, I will respond like this." For example, in toxic relationships, there is often an expectation that you will drop everything for the other. It may be useful to say "If I tell you I cannot hang out right now and you insist I should regardless, I will silence notifications from you for an hour." If they disrespect your boundary, enforce your reaction. If they tell you this is extreme, unreasonable, anything of that nature - remind yourself: I am respecting my time. Even if I would like to be hanging out, I cannot, and being pressured to find excuses or being shamed for circumstances I cannot change in this moment is unreasonable and harming me.

Things will get better, and that is a promise. I know at 17 I wanted to reach through the screen and strangle anyone that told me that - but seriously. My life at 23 isn't perfect at all - but I am in control of it. You will get there.

the fact that i’ve been working at the same company for almost 7 years and i still can’t afford to live comfortably pretty much anywhere on my own is really fucking sad. i couldn’t even afford a studio apartment anywhere in my home county if i wanted to, definitely not on the 30% or even 50% rule, if i stretched it

Study session...

Question: Do you go?

Response: Yeah. Time to learn about geography too, I guess.

In the end there's no point in staying - the only prize for winning this competition was clout. You both take up Sol on his offer, Dessa more enthusiastically than you.

It's easy enough to lead the way to the library but you fumble when it's time to find books on weather - you've only used Deema's before.

Sol pats you on the shoulder sympathetically and goes to speak with a librarian while you and Dessa find a table.

'You have a real talent for poking holes in solutions, Dessa,' he says when he returns, a small stack of books in his arms. He doesn't sound the least bit annoyed.

'I have to! Almost everything's written for you coastal folk. I make so many notes in my books I basically wrote them. You coastal folks have it easy.' She giggles behind her hand at Sol's surprise. 'It's true! I don't have the sea to moderate temperature.'

That hadn't occurred to you; you've lived by the sea all your life. You jot that down in your notebook.

'And altitude,' Sol says. 'Air gets thinner and colder the higher you go.'

'And if there's, say, valleys where cold air pools,' Dessa continues.

Sol nods along as he flips through a book. 'Rain shadow, valleys, basins... all things you look out for where you are?'

She nods confirmation.

They carry on while you flip through the book in front of you. It has more detail than you think you'll ever need, but you diligently take notes regardless. Who knows what you might need to know when finding Deema's samples?

An hour passes and the library closes. Your notebook is full of notes to go over... but you think you can also get your mittens finished tonight.

Hi sorry for politics question but why is libertarianism considered bad? Like I thought it was about equality and sharing power in opposition to hierarchical authoritarianism but based on how you talk about it I’m likely super wrong about it?? Ty!!

I assume you're talking about this post.

Disclaimer: I don’t have a lot of experience with political theory or political history, so I can’t explain how libertarianism got from what it originated as to the modern American party that calls itself the Libertarian Party.

What I can tell you is that libertarianism as it’s used in modern America refers to the party with a right-aligned libertarian philosophy that prizes free-market capitalism. A lot of libertarians tend to refer to themselves “socially liberal” but “fiscally conservative,” which is to say that they don’t think governments should regulate industry but are generally pro-gay rights and pro-legalizing weed and other drugs.

There is, of course, a distinction between the libertarian party and people who identify as libertarian but aren’t a part of the party for various reasons, and left-aligned libertarians certainly do still exist in America. (Extremist right-aligned libertarians also exist—many constitutional militias are composed of extremist right-aligned libertarians.) But “libertarian” as it’s used in the American common discourse (and as I used it) still tends to refer to supporters of the Libertarian Party.

tldr; Kalvaxus thinks that taxation is theft and he should be allowed to burn towns get money without the government trying to stop him, but also thinks that being gay is fine, probably.

“You gave me specific instructions not to let the children back in, Mrs. Squalor,” the doorman said. “At least, until Gunther left the building. And he still hasn’t left.”

“Don’t be absurd,” Esmé said. “He left the penthouse last night. What kind of doorman are you?”

“Actually, I’m an actor,” the doorman said, “but I was still able to follow your instructions.”

Esmé gave the doorman a stern look she probably used when giving people financial advice. “Your instructions have changed,” she said. “Your new instructions are to let me and my orphans go directly to my seventy-one-bedroom apartment. Got it, buster?”

Also I know that we are all pessimistic about owning property but a genuine tip for when/if you have a mortgage:

Around November every year you will get a notice from the Financial Institution you’re borrowing from. This will be your Taxes & Income Account Assessment also know as your T&I Disclosure.

I cannot fucking stress this enough: read it. You should really be reading every communication you get from any financial insinuation you use whether it’s for a mortgage, banking, commercial lending, consumer lending, or investing. But especially read this.

This is the early disclosure that lets you know the escrow assessment of your property and tells you how much you payments will be starting January of the imminent year.

If escrow was shorted for whatever reason— property value skyrockets etc etc— your payment will go up and it’s important you know that esp if you have an ach or automatic payment set up.

Also if you overpaid your escrow you will get your escrow surplus given back to you. Most institutions you lend through will require you to have a savings account even if you don’t bank with them— this overage will be deposited into the savings and sit there. This T&I disclosure is the only required communication of this disbursement.

so searching for a new job is about as much fun as you can imagine.

the main issue I'm running into is that most positions are offering substantially less than I currently earn, which I feel is already too low for a decent life in this city so less is unacceptable. and other positions I find intriguing require at least a masters degree. and fair enough, they're looking for specialists, and at least on paper, I am not

I never did a masters because my degree in International Relations was depressing and disillusioning and I didn't want to continue in that field. instead I started over and did a second bachelors in French, which was fun. And so the thing is, if I go back to uni now (besides the enormous expense that would be) I'm not going to do an MA in IR, that would be insane. and I feel like French was fun but....not what I see myself doing for the rest of my life. So I will have to pivot again !!! although, I could *in theory* start again at honours level (i.e. 1 year before entry to masters) rather than starting a whole new BA from scratch. and then proceed into a masters in curating and archival studies from there. in theory.

I was kind of panicking when I started writing this post. but the above now seems like a fairly reasonable plan. the only thing is the cost of studying (South Africa is like the US in this sense. education is expensive) and the fact that while studying I could only work part-time at best,, and I've become so accustomed to having an income so that might not be fun

but like, what are my other options realistically ? do I just keep looking for work and hope something decent turns up ? I mean, i don't technically need to enjoy my work, I just need to be good at it and use the income to fund hobbies and joy in my private life. so I could just take any position. or should I actually start over from scratch, academically, to ensure I really do have a solid theoretical basis ? but then I could pick any field, not just one I can easily pivot to. although that will be a financial risk, so maybe not that. and part of me just wants to make art, like, should I keep taking short-courses and workshops, rather than investing in another formal degree ? practical experience is valuable too right ?
