For anyone in the US who has just realized that they are nearly 1 month away from their taxes being due (April 18th) and is panicking because they don't know what to do,
Calm down.
If you're new to taxes, and in an early part of your life (just earning wages from a company that does withholdings), they're actually pretty easy to do and odds are you're just gonna get some free money (your tax refund).
Collect documents. Specifically, go get your get your W2, a form sent to you by whatever company you work for. Most will send you this online. Some might send you a paper copy.
https://www.irs.gov/filing/free-file-do-your-federal-taxes-for-free
Go to the above link, there's free filing options for federal taxes, and for some state taxes. It took me ~15 minutes to do my taxes in total, and then the government gave me like 1k back.
If your situation is more complicated than just having a W2, then go to the IRS's help page. They have a ton of super helpful tools that can walk you through different situations and what you need to do, they also have a toll-free help line.
https://www.irs.gov/help/ita
I know everyone talks about how much taxes suck, but legit, if you're an average wage earner and don't own a house or anything, odds are your taxes can be done in 15 minutes and then you get some of the taxes you paid back. It's not that scary, and the IRS has been working really hard to make the process as simple as possible.
Good luck!
#us taxes#irs#taxes#sif speaks#listen I realized that old people will have you convinced taxes are a mess#but honest to god people who are at a new spot in their life#are fine#it's very easy and then you get money

commissions open: pride flag horse icons! now closed
hello :D i mentioned a short while ago that i wanted to do pride flag icons/profile pictures as june is approaching and now i'm opening them!
my dear polaris is the model for the example drawing. it will be a simple headshot with some minor rendering + the background being the pride flag of your choosing! if several flags apply to you, i can provide the same drawing with different backgrounds without extra cost.
edit: if you would also like the drawing without a flag background that can be arranged as well!
the horse in question can be an oc, a horse from real life, a fictional horse from a show or a video game ... you name it! all the horses are welcome here :)
price: $15
paypal only. full payment upfront!
I may not be able to work very fast at the moment but I will do my absolute best considering the circumstances!^^
if you're interested, send me a message here on tumblr and i'll get back to you as soon as possible! alternatively, you can also email me at [email protected]
what i need from you:
clear reference images of the horse
for you to tell me which pride flag(s) i should add to the background
payment
that is all! i will then let you know when i've started and let you know when i estimate i'll be done.
if you are not interested in getting a commission but still want to help out, you can find my tip jar here: https://ko-fi.com/saturnvs
happy (almost) pride!
#commissions open#art commissions#commissions#horses#horse art#pride#a busy bee and a very stressed bee at the moment#but i need to get some money in and this could be fun :D#as some may know we are moving this summer and it's .. not looking easy at the moment#money goes to myself my mom and my sister for food and other costs! and on the occassion some art supplies and clothes :)#you have no idea how much i appreciate all of you#you genuinely help put food on the table#thanks to money i saved up from comms i was able to buy gifts for my sister's birthday and help my mom with bills#so thank you again#i hope the people who said they were interested see this!

so there's a reason my new job got back to me so quickly about my application and that's bc it's an absolute fucking shambles like actually perfect timing for me to decide to rewatch the bear bc i have never more felt like ive been thrown into a broke on-its-knees establishment trying to crawl its way up the ladder where i am somehow a godsend to them. my old job was crazy and shambolic in the sense that the industry is just Like That but this one?????? insanity. every 5 mins i am questioning what im doing with my life. ive already had a walk-in fridge moment
#so i explained before that there's 3 venues and on my very first shift they had me doing the restaurant venue for 2 hours#which was FINE like i was a bit cautious bc my manager is VERY stressed all the time and the place generally feels like it's falling apart#not the building itself just. the way it's run like it's just got new owners and the previous manager apparently#EMPTIED THE TILLS AND TRASHED THE PLACE like cost them THOUSANDS of pounds and on top of that#there was beef with the head chef and the new owners that meant he left and took the ENTIRE BACK OF HOUSE WITH HIM#THERE ARE NO KITCHEN STAFF ATM. I HAVE TO LIE AND TELL CUSTOMERS WE DONT HAVE FOOD ATM BC OF 'REFURBISHMENT'#WHEN IN ACTUALITY THE /RESTAURANT/ DOESNT HAVE CHEFS. DO YOU KNOW HOW CRAZY THAT IS#and then the front of house staff are very lacking aside maybe 2 people we're ALL NEW and all of them EXCEPT ME#LIKE LITERALLY JUST ME IM THE ONLY EXCEPTION. ALL OF THEM ARE UNTRAINED#so when i applied with bar training coffee training and very solid waitressing skills they genuinely treated me like a saviour#like i am FENDING off shifts tbh im in a v good position bc they need me too much to get shitty w me if i refuse hours but i can literally#have as many as i want bc they will just give me them. like they're obsessed w me im rota'd for over 60 hours this week#but anyway that very first shift after 2 hours in the restaurant i then walked to the mini golf venue on the OTHER SIDE OF TOWN#and my manager stayed for 30 MINUTES. IF THAT. and showed me around the place + how to close THEN LEFT ME THERE#FIRST DAY HE GAVE ME THE KEYS AND LEFT ME TO RUN AN ENTIRE VENUE. IT'S NOT SMALL EITHER IT'S A WHOLE BAR#AND I HAD TO CLOSE ON MY OWN TOO and ironically the shift itself went rlly well like it was so chill#it was kinda boring but honestly i kinda rated it it's v easy money and the close went perfectly nothing cropped up that i was unsure about#and then. AND THEN. i havent even ranted to my mutuals about this yet bc i was acc so horrified by it but i locked the front doors#and went to lock the gate AND THE KEY GOT STUCK IN THE LOCK. WOULD NOT COME OUT. HELLA VS KEYS ROUND 3927593#my mum even showed up and tried to help me wrestle this thing out i called my manager and he literally told me to just snap it#bc he'd rather a snapped key that NO ONE could get out than just leave it there overnight but bc of my recent house key moment#i was like AM I FUCK SNAPPING THIS KEY. WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING. so i had to just leave it and at the time#i was realllyyyyyyyyyy beating myself up but my manager is actually rlly nice he's just stretched v thin#and ive also had time to be like uhh actually they shouldnt have left a random 21 y/o girl alone with the keys on her first day#omg i havent even talked about what happened on saturday. ACTUAL SHAMBLES#LIKE THIS /\/\ ISNT EVEN CLOSE TO EVERYTHING! IM RUNNING OUT OF TAG ROOM! IM GONNA REBLOG THIS TONIGHT W MORE PROBABLY!#BC GUESS WHO IS WORKING A CLOSE LATER AT THE NIGHTCLUB THEN OPENING THE RESTAURANT AT 8AM. GUESS#hella slaves to capitalism

Me: *owns Blakes 7 on DVD already*
Me looking at the new Blu-ray collection set for season 1:
#tempting but i can’t justify it right now. i have no money.#very much need to get a job#life is easy when you’re living with your family and don’t have to worry about a living because you can spend your money on doctor who dvds#but unfortunately i have just about depleted all of that money between dw and christmas/birthday stuff for others#being a geek comes with a cost and that cost is no money#blakes 7

I know for a fact in my heart that Bakugo is one of those kids who was taken on family vacations every year as a child, with pictures of him on every trip looking all grumpy in the photos… and not only is it weird for him to find out YOU didn’t get to do that (or as often)… but it’s also weird when he’s trying to take your two year old to Tokyo Disney bc it’s just something kids are “supposed to do” APPARENTLY.
#Bakugo#you’re like ‘I know we have money now but we don’t have to spend it like THAT’#parenting with Bakugo is fun bc yeah ur kid has manners but also like… it’s very easy for them to not be humble#I know you have to fight for your kids LIFE to get them to have a normal growing up experience#like going to daycare instead of ‘oh u can just stay home with them 24/7’#like baby I love that idea but I would go CRAZY#anyway I’m specifically thinking of baku as one of those kids who goes to Hawaii every year#like … first of all. 😬. second of all. spoiled.#and he doesn’t even know#6 year old ass in a lei and Hawaiian shirt at a fake luau picture#shii posts#kids tw

i cannot tell you how much it infuriates me to see headlines about starbucks losing money captioned with “boycotts work!!” like…. okay what change did starbucks make in response to losing that money?? what change did you WANT them to make? what ties to israel do they have and how would it impact israel if they cut those ties?? starbucks losing money is evidence that a boycott is HAPPENING, but not that it is “working” or achieving any particular goal. the point of a boycott isn’t simply to punish a company for being shitty, it is to force their hand to make a CHANGE. and to be absolutely clear, fuck starbucks i am all for not giving them your money. but an organized boycott with a tangible goal and choosing not to support a place are two different things.
#it makes me so mad because a boycott of starbucks COULD perhaps have an impact on their anti union practices. for example.#and like a lot of people are boycotting them right now imagine if there was a specific demand motivating that!!!#but there isn’t#and i hate to use this term but i can’t think of a better one. but it’s truly giving virtue signaling#because it’s very easy to say ‘look at me i’m not getting starbucks’#and harass anyone you see with a starbucks cup online#but are you boycotting israeli produce? are you boycotting hp products?#again i am not saying it’s BAD to refuse to support starbucks#or that everyone should turn around and give them all their money#but there is a REASON they’re still not on any bds lists#r.txt

Atla live action 😐
#thats my honest reaction 😐#to be fair ive only seen 20 minutes of the s1 finale bc my parents are watching it but. mmmmm kinda mid#like. the casting is definitely an improvement since the last time they tried a live action but it feels like the writing falls flat#or maybe im being harsh bc ive only heard negative criticism on it beforehand. but fr anytime u bring up the original its already#good and not just because its the original. so much fucking detail went into it to the point of someone noticing azula wielding mai's knive#to how well thought out irohs character is used as a way of uniting the cast especially as zukos foil#i heard that sokkas sexism was toned down and i have to agree that feels like a cheap move. like i get WHY they think it would be better#but its not about how that reflects on real world its about how it affects the story. sokka starts out as a misogynistic asshole because#it makes it that much more impactful when he changes. toning that down makes it flatter and makes his character development weak#and someone pointed out they didnt even make him wear the kyoshi warrior uniform and i know it feels like such a small detail but#come on man. they did that in the original because not only does it help him really walk in their shoes - wearing 'feminine' clothing and#makeup and having suki explain its significance but it also ties in with the shows theme of harmony and intersectionality#i was also disappointed when they had the fire sages explain how the water tribe draws power from the moon because in the original it was#IROH who explained it to aang and everyone else BECAUSE we as the audience is under the impression hes with the 'bad guys'#and it builds up to how he learned from the other nations which reconciles his past as a war general and his character overall#AND its an excellent starting point for the cast and audience to understand how the nations arent as closed off as you would think#plus you would think its only fire nation doing propaganda but they expanded on that with earth kingdom censorship and it WORKS#a lot of things in the live action also feel arbitrary like. they gave momo a near death experience for 5 minutes for no reason#im firmly on the stance of bringing back filler moments instead of putting major events right after each other so that u give your#audience a sense of time passing and to really absorb the story. but i think thats more like shock value than filler and yeah its a small#thing to gripe about but those things build up and its really annoying. the thing abt avatar filler moments is that however small#its at least meaningful. hell even the beach episode emphasizes how isolated zuko and his friends are as child soldiers#i also swore to never watch the first live action since it was that bad but i really liked the stylized tattoos they used for aang#anyway. those arejust my thoughts. im not gonna watch the rest because im a ride or die for the original aftr growing up and#rewatching it at least 20 times as a kid. but theres definitely room for improvement and i wish ppl wouldnt take it as 'better' just cuz#netflix is adapting it. i wouldve killed for them to just reanimate the entire avatar series and touch NOTHING ELSE no redub#no changes to the story. just reanimate the thing and leave the rest alone and youd make easy money just the same#ALSO its very jarring not hearing jack desena and dante basco voicing sokka and zuko cause their voices were the most recognizable to me#i get that its because its live action but im allowed to feel a little sad abt that. and uncle irohs accent was really soothing#yapping

just so we're all clear i do check the fundraisers i reblog to make sure they're legitimate. many of them have the verification in the post itself, ie, "verified by [xyz user]" but i do look just in case.
#just posting this because yeah i have Seen the palestinian scammers posts from people and i think they are very bad faith#or relying on random facts to 'debunk' the legitimacy of a fundraiser that have pretty obvious explanations#“the gofundme isn't based in gaza” yeah because usually they're sponsored by someone out of the country#“they all write the same” they're probably not native english speakers and may be relying on google translate or easy#stock phrases#“there's a bunch of variations on the same guy” arabic names can get transliterated into english in many different ways#and many of the people who verify campaigns have called out scammers piggybacking off this cause before#well at the end of the day its your own money and you're responsible for where you donate#if you want to give it to UNRWA or PCRF then fair enough those organizations help too#i'd rather risk getting scammed out of $10 than risk mocking someone's fundraiser when they're in a desperate situation

saw someone saying that trans people who haven't/won't medically transition are a danger to the community. never heard that one before
#carter poast#they also said that if you don't have the money you should get on medicaid/social security#as if that's super fucking easy. get a grip#it was also targeted at people who were assigned male at birth go fucking figure.#hey if you don't spend every single cent on surgeries that are very hard to recover from and take hormones for 5+ years ur a danger sorry#like do you HEAR YOURSELF. i will find you#also what if someone literally cannot. because of their physical health. i guess that person is just a scary dangerous penis haver forever#evil behavior for real#SORRY FOR RANT IM getting back to art#edit scratch that i Have heard this argument but it was the specific way the person said it. ok im off now

Obligatory fancier outfit that must be present anytime I post outfits
#self#fantasy costume#If I had the money for a custom tailored fantasy-ish victorian-ish suit instead of piecing together random thrift store items with like walm#rt halloween costume type jackets and stuff..#unstoppable.....#I would actually lean more straight up historical with my wardrobe it's just that everything I own basically is thrifted aside from a very#small portion of things (like usually socks for example I get from ebay. wigs from ebay. things that it's hard to find in thrift stores. etc#) and I rarely ever find stuff like that at the bins. Your closest bet is like. hopeing that the week you come in just so happens to also be#a week that a church costume department recently donated a bunch of old stuff. but I just haven't really had much luck finding like fancy ve#sts and suit coats and cloaks or like tunics and etc. etc.#Styles like mori kei or cult party kei are pretty accessible and easy for places like the bins (where youre usually digging through piles of#curtains and fabric scraps and doilies anyway). but finding like.. a straight up tudor england costume or something is . VERY rare#Sometimes you do find halloween costumes. Or like. stuff that's clearly like cheap 'Goth' stuff from shein or aliexpress that someone has do#nated and they can be a LITTLE okay in terms of usable for costumes. But you rarely find actual good quality stuff. obviously because like#real very good quality historical costumes are expensive and most people aren't just like 'yeah dump it off to goodwill' lol#In an ideal world though I would have fancy top hats and neck ruffles and stuff .. know this ghhjbhj#Lack of that will not stop me from taking picturesin basically the same outfit 6000 times though. My one single silky black vest and#one of the two solitary ruffly neck shirts I have every been able to find.#Pointy-ish little boots that I put with everything even thogugh they look terrible up close because they're literally like over 10 yrs old#I bought them so long ago and the black fake leather lining is like peeling off of the outside#ANYWAY#he's back again... the same little generic like elf vampire ruffle shirt with vest look.. might as well be the same guy#I support him and his dumbass disintegrating shoes anyway

i love polaris …. i need to get creative and do more with her
#i wonder what you all think or feel about her#she’s received a lot of love#she’s my literal light in the dark#my depictions of her are very comforting#and they tie into my childhood daydreams of a big north swedish horse that kept me safe#she’s still there doing just that :)#i don’t want to get too vent-y on this blog but things really aren’t easy right now#with money and stress and my general mental health#so taking commissions is basically saving us and drawing polaris is keeping me sane#idk what i’m saying here i’m just appreciating the littlr things i suppose#sometimes i want to flesh out more of a story with her but i also like the innocent sort of childhood mystery she has about her

The way the "Brucie" persona falls apart with the slightest in universe digging because DC hates timeliness that make sense leads me to wonder how many people genuinely think Bruce just gave himself a lobotomy.
#batman#bruce wayne#dc#because like. bruce dropped out of med school and then did up to 1-3 years of training around the world right#but bruce ALSO adopted dick when bruce himself was pretty young right?#so like lets say 25 at max bc your twenties are a goddamn nightmare but you dont really have the excuse of youth at 26#so. if bruce graduated hs at 18 that would be 4 years for bachelors right and then lets say 2 years of med school before dipping#and then add anywhere from one to tbree years for training#lets also say a six months to a year of going out as batman#and uh oh. you hit the 'youre in the later part of your twenties.'#so bruce is a smart cookie#lets say he did he bachelors in 2 years and then tbe med school#then lets do a year for training and it puts him at 23 turning 25 when he took dick in#which works#but also - that means itd be very easy information to acess. graduating in 2 years and then getting into med school#is like... a big deal? you cant just fake that. money cant just do that. his professors and classmates and friends would remember him#the uni/college he went to would deffo brag about having bruce as an alumni#bruces incompetent playboy himbo manslut act kinda doesnt mesh well with that like. at all.#and you know bruce was a weird fucking kid as well#okay time to bring tags to close all im saying is that there has to be a non inconsequential amount of people#who believe bruce wayne gave himself a lobotomy during a grief fueled mental breakdown in med school and the reason he acts Like That is#because of brain damage

My brother and I decided to play some couch co-op but the only games that supported it were our respective Level 99 Autism games. So we split it into me getting my ass kicked in Tony Hawk 1+2 and then dragging him along half-dead through Borderlands 1
#bro ran in to fight Nine Toes without even buying a shield 😭 and while I was still miles back at the vending machine#I saw his side of the screen and I was like WHAT ARE YOU DOING 😭😭#he Died Badly in a blaze of glory and I finished the fight for us. and because he got like 1 hit in after respawning and running back-#-he was like ‘Man this game is Easy.’#mind you in 2012 he attempted it and gave up at Sledge’s Safehouse bc he fucking ran out of ammo and money to buy more#and he was very much playing it the same way tonight lmfao#he wanted to challenge Bonehead at Level 4 😭#I did enjoy getting to play Protective Big Sister tho lol - he ran into a horde of skags-#-and I was keeping him safe picking them off at a distance as Mordecai

AHHHHHH
#this post brought to you by: me#i. applied for a preapproval letter for a mortgage yesterday. and spoke to a realtor to start finding me houses#i want to move several states away which further complicated things. but the houses there are CHEAP#like under 100k for a 2 bedroom move in ready#anyways i got approved for 80k with a 20k down payment. and im FREAKING THE FUCK OUT#and because i got that pre app letter i have a loan officer calling me today to talk#and we literally work at the same bank so i can SEE that hes active and hasnt read my message#even though its been 45 minutes. KEVIN MESSAGE ME BACK. IM NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO FOCUS UNTIL I DO THIS CALL#AHHHHHHH S C R E A M. it might happening!!!! i might be finally.mov8ng out in a few months!!!#i mgiht be a HOMEOWNER by the end of the year#i have been saving money for this since i was. 16? 17?#ive had a good well paying job since i was 18.#AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH#once i have a house then i start job searching in that area. and start getting really serious about LEAVING my very good job#which is soooo scary. this job was supposed to be my lifelong career. but then everyone fucking moved to other states and left me behind#so theres no point staying here.#i might never have this kind of job security again.#but also my realtor said that theres a lot of bank jobs in that area so maybe itll be easy to find something#on the fence on if i tell my parents that im Making Moves right now#on one hand its hard to not talk about it becuae im STRESSED TF OUT#but on the other hand when i tentatively mentioned the state i want to move to#richard started yelling and swearing el oh el#might be better to wait and avoid the tension as long as possible?#but also i dont know how they can stay angry when its literally my best option#the other places where my friends live either have 0 opportunity and high housing prices. or are even moe liberal than where im going#idk. why do half of my problems come down to “my parents will be mad” like im a 12 year old or something. shit fucking sucks#this is why i want to get out of here#also it feels weird and bad to talk to my friends about how stressed i am about buying a house when all of them are stressed about#not being able to make rent or something. my problems feel like a brag in a really odd and shitty way. but hey!#if this works out maybe ill start being stressed about how im going to make my mortgage payments! :') yay!
