I'm literally at the point where I have to give myself a mental slap on the wrist at the thought of starting a new fic lmao
#i have way too many going already#i need to finish some of them before doing more#but like...#i picked up this manga on a whim while i was at the bookstore#and its about this guy who basically becomes an indentured servant to these bakeneko#that basically means that theyre people who can transform into cats#but his dad was like obsessed with them and went into debt buying them a house and stuff#and then he died#so the mc basically just acts as their maid while they work to pay off the debt#its called im the catlords manservant#and like it sounds dumb but its good#i just bought volume 3 cause i want to read more#anyway though#after reading it my little gremlin brain was like 'you know who [insert name of character] reminds me of? Yu#Yu would enjoy being a bakeneko imo#so what if souyo?'#and thats what ive been thinking about lately#i have a whole plotline and everything#but i cant start working on it lmao#i cant do that to myself

money anxiety sucks. like. Listen. I am making more money than I have ever before in my life. contracted for the next year to make this amount of money, getting paid weekly for a full time job
I am STILL barely scraping by bc of the debt I have accumulated over the past 15 years just to survive.
when millennials complain about wage theft and housing costs and education debt relief, like...how do people not Get It????
#thatdorianguy#luckiky i have FINALLY caught up on the car after 3 months#still have the credit card#still have to pay gas and medical expenses consistently#just soent $140 on contacts for the next 6 months#rent got raised#luckily the fiance is feeling extremely secure in his new salaried position#but every time he insists on sending me money to pay for the car we share#i feel. so useless.#it makes sense for him to contribute to that since it is a shared vehicle#but its in my name. it's my debt.#i dont like him shouldering that

this lady's maid is throwing herself at Mr Russell quite flagrantly
he seems to adore his social-climbing wife so much, she looks a fool
#airy watches the gilded age#Mrs Russell is less a social climber than a social mountaineer#having the gay cousin turn up in outlandishly flamboyant clothes and naming him Oscar was not very subtle of Julian Fellowes#I really want to know what the woman with the superb hats who they all despise but she turns up to everything anyway - what she DID#and what Peggy Scott's legal question is about#I had my heart in my mouth that if Mrs Bauer stole something to pay off her debt the blame would be put on her

I slept in and just woke up, so here's what I've been able to figure out while sipping coffee:
Twitter has officially rebranded to X just a day or two after the move was announced.
The official branding is that a tweet is now called "an X", for which there are too many jokes to make.
The official account is still @twitter because someone else owns @X and they didn't reclaim the username first.
The logo is 𝕏 which is the Unicode character Unicode U+1D54F so the logo cannot be copyrighted and it is highly likely that it cannot be protected as a trademark.
Outside the visual logo, the trademark for the use of the name "X" in social media is held by Meta/Facebook, while the trademark for "X" in finance/commerce is owned by Microsoft.
The rebranding has been stopped in Japan as the term "X Japan" is trademarked by the band X JAPAN.
Elon had workers taking down the "Twitter" name from the side of the building. He did not have any permits to do this. The building owner called the cops who stopped the crew midway through so the sign just says "er".
He still plans to call his streaming and media hosting branch of the company as "Xvideo". Nobody tell him.
This man wants you to give him control over all of your financial information.
Edit to add further developments:
Yes, this is all real. Check the notes and people have pictures. I understand the skepticism because it feels like a joke, but to the best of my knowledge, everything in the above is accurate.
Microsoft also owns the trademark on X for chatting and gaming because, y'know, X-box.
The logo came from a random podcaster who tweeted it at Musk.
The act of sending a tweet is now known as "Xeet". They even added a guide for how to Xeet.
The branding change is inconsistent. Some icons have changed, some have not, and the words "tweet" and "Twitter" are still all over the place on the site.
TweetDeck is currently unaffected and I hope it's because they forgot that it exists again. The complete negligence toward that tool and just leaving it the hell alone is the only thing that makes the site usable (and some of us are stuck on there for work).
This is likely because Musk was forced out of PayPal due to a failed credit line project and because he wanted to rename the site to "X-Paypal" and eventually just to "X".
This became a big deal behind the scenes as Musk paid over $1 million for the domain X.com and wanted to rebrand the company that already had the brand awareness people were using it as a verb to "pay online" (as in "I'll paypal you the money")
X.com is not currently owned by Musk. It is held by a domain registrar (I believe GoDaddy but I'm not entirely sure). Meaning as long as he's hung onto this idea of making X Corp a thing, he couldn't be arsed to pay the $15/year domain renewal.
Bloomberg estimates the rebranding wiped between $4 to $20 billion from the valuation of Twitter due to the loss of brand awareness.
The company was already worth less than half of the $44 billion Musk paid for it in the first place, meaning this may end up a worse deal than when Yahoo bought Tumblr.
One estimation (though this is with a grain of salt) said that Twitter is three months from defaulting on its loans taken out to buy the site. Those loans were secured with Tesla stock. Meaning the bank will seize that stock and, since it won't be enough to pay the debt (since it's worth around 50-75% of what it was at the time of the loan), they can start seizing personal assets of Elon Musk including the Twitter company itself and his interest in SpaceX.
Sesame Street's official accounts mocked the rebranding.

Wanting to upgrade my computer so I can more reliably play games w/ friends is a feasible goal which is awesome ‘cause for the last few years my main goal has been “don’t kill yourself” so having this as a goal shows improvement in that I actually want something other than to simply not die by my own hand
#also it gives me incentive to go to work#I was sick this week so I missed like 3 days of work as a result of me trying to avoid giving myself asthma#but as luck would have it I made the conscious effort to go to work every day last week#not to mention this was a really fast sick span#it only lasted from Friday-Most Tuesday#outside the bread coughs and liquids down the wrong holes i’ve been doing swell#so swell that I feel comfortable going in to work tomorrow#my position right now tho worries me#I’m not sure how long I can be a pick-off as it hurts my shoulder but I think if I were to stretch more diligintely before work I could#potentially avoid it#but regardless it just sucks in general to have be like this ‘cause loading hurts my knees and those just hurt regardless#plus I got a bigass hill I have to climb after work every night and that doesn’t do me any favors#and on top of that if I don’t climb it fast it measn getting home like 30 minutes later half the time#and I’m not fond of waiting for the bus that late at night#especially since a couple of weeks ago I had a dude harassing me#like I have to walk down side streets that are largely unlit to sit and wait at a bus stop that no one really goes to like ??#I just need to buy a few things for the computer namely RAM and a 1TB internal SSD#that’s pretty cheapo in comparison to the rest of the computer#hell the RAM isn’t even necessary tbh that’s why I’m going for the SSD first#A 2TB SSD would be better tho like it could fully replace my 9 y/o 2TB HDD that’s Very Much So At The End Of Its Life#truly tho I need a car#but it’s hard to save for a car when I have so much debt to pay every month#I think I can actually start saving for one like mext year tho ‘cause at the rate I’m going by feb next year I could be cleared of all#personal debts#then I can save up like $120 a month guarunteed rather than trying and failing to save even like $50 or somethin#I could actually help people too#I could be comfortable and help people w/o throwing myself under the bus financially#that’s what I really want

i should start watching soap operas again. unfortunately my house dont have tv. literally thats the reason why im not liveblogging on tumblr about how the mother in law and the gullible husband should fucking die and the female antagonist should get together with the girl protag, even if theyre adopted sisters. my family always talk about buying an antenna and one of those digital to analog signal converters but it never happened!
#my favorite type of soap operas will always be the outrageous ones around mid 2000s to early 2010#its my childhood and its peak insanity#too bad the hate train for soap operas got too much and now the current style for dramas are... to sanitized. too safe.#oh yes they have better character work and they follow along moral standards and talks up the blandest#take on feminism and mental health but. the constant religious pandering oh my god#i miss the trainwreck style of soap operas. i really do. i miss when the premise was what if there's a guy and he's painted as clueless but#ultimately a well meaning guy who bought a 16 yo girl as his fourth wife because said girls' parents cant pay their debts#and also the main antagonist is a women who dabbles in black magic and ends up horribly disfigured because she falsely swore an oath#by the name of god? its insanely horrible but i like it#yall can tell i'd be one of those toxic attitude era fan if i was cis and usamerican lmao#textposts

By Bernie Sanders | July 13, 2024
I will do all that I can to see that President Biden is re-elected. Why? Despite my disagreements with him on particular issues, he has been the most effective president in the modern history of our country and is the strongest candidate to defeat Donald Trump — a demagogue and pathological liar. It’s time to learn a lesson from the progressive and centrist forces in France who, despite profound political differences, came together this week to soundly defeat right-wing extremism.
I strongly disagree with Mr. Biden on the question of U.S. support for Israel’s horrific war against the Palestinian people. The United States should not provide Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing extremist government with another nickel as it continues to create one of the worst humanitarian disasters in modern history.
I strongly disagree with the president’s belief that the Affordable Care Act, as useful as it has been, will ever address America’s health care crisis. Our health care system is broken, dysfunctional and wildly expensive and needs to be replaced with a “Medicare for all” single-payer system. Health care is a human right.
And those are not my only disagreements with Mr. Biden.
But for over two weeks now, the corporate media has obsessively focused on the June presidential debate and the cognitive capabilities of a man who has, perhaps, the most difficult and stressful job in the world. The media has frantically searched for every living human being who no longer supports the president or any neurologist who wants to appear on TV. Unfortunately, too many Democrats have joined that circular firing squad.
Yes. I know: Mr. Biden is old, is prone to gaffes, walks stiffly and had a disastrous debate with Mr. Trump. But this I also know: A presidential election is not an entertainment contest. It does not begin or end with a 90-minute debate.
Enough! Mr. Biden may not be the ideal candidate, but he will be the candidate and should be the candidate. And with an effective campaign taht speaks to the needs of working families, he will not only defeat Mr. Trump but beat him badly. It’s time for Democrats to stop the bickering and nit-picking.
I understand that some Democrats get nervous about having to explain the president’s gaffes and misspeaking names. But unlike the Republicans, they do not have to explain away a candidate who now has 34 felony convictions and faces charges that could lead to dozens of additional convictions, who has been hit with a $5 million judgment after he was found liable in a sexual abuse case, who has been involved in more than 4,000 lawsuits, who has repeatedly gone bankrupt and who has told thousands of documented lies and falsehoods.
Supporters of Mr. Biden can speak proudly about a good and decent Democratic president with a record of real accomplishment. The Biden administration, as a result of the American Rescue Plan, helped rebuild the economy during the pandemic far faster than economists thought possible. At a time when people were terrified about the future, the president and those of us who supported him in Congress put Americans back to work, provided cash benefits to desperate parents and protected small businesses, hospitals, schools and child care centers.
After decades of talk about our crumbling roads, bridges and water systems, we put more money into rebuilding America’s infrastructure than ever before — which is projected to create millions of well-paying jobs. And we did not stop there. We made the largest-ever investment in climate action to save the planet. We canceled student debt for nearly five million financially strapped Americans. We cut prices for insulin and asthma inhalers, capped out-of-pocket costs for prescription drugs and got free vaccines to the American people. We battled to defend women’s rights in the face of moves by Trump-appointed jurists to roll back reproductive freedom and deny women the right to control their own bodies.
So, yes, Mr. Biden has a record to run on. A strong record. But he and his supporters should never suggest that what’s been accomplished is sufficient. To win the election, the president must do more than just defend his excellent record. He needs to propose and fight for a bold agenda that speaks to the needs of the vast majority of our people — the working families of this country, the people who have been left behind for far too long.
At a time when the billionaires have never had it so good and when the United States is experiencing virtually unprecedented income and wealth inequality, over 60 percent of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, real weekly wages for the average worker have not risen in over 50 years, 25 percent of seniors live each year on $15,000 or less, we have a higher rate of childhood poverty than almost any other major country, and housing is becoming more and more unaffordable — among other crises.
This is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We can do better. We must do better. Joe Biden knows that. Donald Trump does not. Joe Biden wants to tax the rich so that we can fund the needs of working families, the elderly, the children, the sick and the poor. Donald Trump wants to cut taxes for the billionaire class. Joe Biden wants to expand Social Security benefits. Donald Trump and his friends want to weaken Social Security. Joe Biden wants to make it easier for workers to form unions and collectively bargain for better wages and benefits. Donald Trump wants to let multinational corporations get away with exploiting workers and ripping off consumers. Joe Biden respects democracy. Donald Trump attacks it.
This election offers a stark choice on issue after issue. If Mr. Biden and his supporters focus on these issues — and refuse to be divided and distracted — the president will rally working families to his side in the industrial Midwest swing states and elsewhere and win the November election. And let me say this as emphatically as I can: For the sake of our kids and future generations, he must win.
Bernie Sanders is the senior senator from Vermont.

Guess he couldn't just wipe student loan debt out with a stroke of a pen
#dissappointing but not surprising#also do not clown on this post#if you do im charging you $5 to help pay down my student loan debt#only $10k of $22k would have been forgiven under this plan#and not one red cent of my currently $75k in privately held loans#(which are serviced by mohela which apparently was named by the plaintiff states as being financially harmed by this decision)#(i guess the $645/month im giving them (even through covid b/c only fed held loans were paused) isnt enough)#bite maim kill etc

so my life is once again in danger
I'm a venezuelan refugee in Spain since 2019. My focus was entirely on escaping and staying in a safe country. When I got here, I got the help of an accountant/manager to start working legally.
He committed fraud in my name without telling me and refused to take responsibility. I was penalized to pay €8600 for his mistake.
I'll add the whole explanation after the read more because you need context to understand what he did.
And now if I can't pay this thing, my residence will be taken away. I will be deported.
I've tried so hard to raise this money. More work, more marketing, preorders, asking for a loan, but nothing has worked.
I have until next month to pay it so I can renew my residence.
All I wanted was to do things right. I thought seeking a professional to handle the legal aspects of my business was the right thing to do. I thought I could finally breathe after being treated like a criminal for years in Venezuela, when all I want is to make my silly little figurines in peace.
I need to take care of my babies (cats) and my parents who are still stuck in Venezuela. I only make enough to live + take care of them, and it's become clear that I can't raise this money by work alone.
So please, any help is appreciated. Reblogs, orders, commissions. I'm so incredibly embarrassed to make this post, but I'm desperate. I don't want to be deported. I don't want to be an illegal alien. I don't want to live in constant fear again.
Here's my Ko-fi link, thank you for reading
https://ko-fi.com/marlikesunicorns/goal?g=0
and this is my shop
There's some context needed to understand what happened, so here it goes.
In Spain, you need to pay a monthly fee of €300 in order to run a business. This goes to the Social Security.
The fee is mandatory, but the government realized it was unfair to charge it from the beginning to a business that's only starting. So they established a reduction of €240 for new entrepreneurs, for 1 year. After that, they'd slowly raise it.
They also gave benefits to people living in certain areas, especially small towns. The fee reduction extended for 6 extra months with this, but only applied as long as you continued to live there for 4 years.
I lived in a small town for 1 year. Then I moved to the closest small city.
But this accountant guy asked for this 6 month extension in my name without my consent.
So then the government demanded I pay the whole €240 for each month ever since I started my business. I went through all the legal processes to ask them to review this thing but it was impossible. They ignored everything. It didn't matter that I only received the benefit for the 1 year that I would've been given anyway for being a new entrepreneur. It didn't matter that I would never be able to afford to pay this in the 15 days they gave me.
If that wasn't enough, I got sick with covid twice, and missed 4 months of work in total, months I got 0 income because they also won't ensure me until I pay the thing. So those fees were also added to the debt + late fees that continue to grow.
Summary: Basically he promised the government I'd live in a small town for 4 years, and when I moved before then (because I had no idea he had done this) they demanded I pay back ALL the benefits they had granted me in the past year.

My parents are driving me crazy
#i now have another bill they did not tell me about until it was late#and their excuse was that they dont live there anymore so its my bill now#but didnt tell me when it was due or how to access their account or when they stopped paying it#just told me hey your bill is late. its $400 btw. good luck#so now its like either both me and my roommate fork up $200 by Tuesday or the internet gets shut off#it was like squeezing blood from a turnip to get the info from my dad about how much i owe and how to pay it#and he just was like when we left you should have set up an account to pay for it#but also they never told me they stopped paying. just assumed i would start? i never got a single bill because its all under my dads name#and its his account which he never gave me access too.#cool. thanks for the debt#i don't even know how much the bill is monthly#fuck#btw when they did this i had just done my grocery shopping for 2 weeks and had $40 left in my bank account#because i haven't been able to work in bad weather

Today it transpires that I am currently unable to apply for new jobs because my passport is in the process of being renewed and my birth certificate is on the opposite side of the country in a place to which I hope never to return, which means I have, as far as I can tell, no proof of U.S. citizenship. Somehow this did not occur to me until now, because I have no idea what I'm doing. I can probably get my birth certificate in a few weeks, but that's a few weeks in which I can't do anything...
Just in general I'm feeling a fair amount of anxiety about employment. I'm in my third year of university already and have no good prospects because I spent the last two years rotting in my bed and failing to function as a person instead of doing anything productive. And it really feels like the sort of thing where, once you fall behind, it's near-impossible to catch up. I don't even know now what I'll do in the upcoming summer holiday.
#my financial situation is sort of strange but essentially I am desperate to pay off a very large amount of debt as soon as I can#I can't even really say I regret making the decisions that led to this situation#I imagine anything else might have had worse results#I should just be thankful. because many other people are in far worse positions#I had massive socioeconomic advantages to start out with. and my current position is mostly self-inflicted. I should be idiotic to complain#I'm lucky I have a bit of an advantage just by the name of the university alone#but it's not enough when I've been such a failure in every aspect since I was admitted#complaining instead of doing my work#trying to be a member of society
