tumblr doesn’t even have baby feminism it’s all “men deserve rights too” and “feminism means letting women wear makeup and shave and date men”
#sick and tired!! lol#shaving is not feminist just because it’s something a woman chooses to do#because if women weren’t pressured to be hairless ( a direct result of patriarchy no doubt) significantly fewer women would be shaving#just sayin!#to clarify#i’m also not saying shaving is inherently anti feminist because a lot of women need to shave in order to access certain things like jobs#housing loans etc#but that’s kind of the point. it’s not much of a choice if you’re being threatened with a loss of a safety net#feminism cannot be reduced to simply any choice a woman makes#or single actions#it’s removing the social pressure to conform and the socioeconomic disparity that causes us to remain without a good foothold

In retrospect, the student loans thing in Saints Row reboot is fucking hilarious when you think about it. Its actually never mentioned in game despite marketing making it believe its some core plot point, yet everyone who didn't bother touching it but is opinionated on it brings it up constantly as some genuine criticism, completely outing themselves to not have even bothered watching a simple playthrough before forming an opinion
#saints row#like its insane#there's genuine reasons to dislike and hate the story#and we can have a hours long discussion#but when yall come here with ''its sucks cause its about paying student loans''#you shouldn't even come cause that wasn't a motivation at any point#it was quite literally a throwaway line added last minute that can literally be seen as a joke#like when i first played it i legit forgot all about it and people had to link me the video reminding me (trauma blocked it tbh)#but like yall don't even know what the line is so why are yall complaining...#sr

once upon a time, i had a fic idea where chris told nichelle and ripper that they owed the show a million dollars because they both quit in the second season. ripper did not have a million dollars to pay upfront and went to go find a job. then nichelle went to pay her portion with ease (because duh she had the money to do that), but her mom and her agent both agreed that she should actually work an actual entry-level job for the money instead to improve her image to the public eye because it's definitely dwindled after her whole hollywood-star-crisis. and so nichelle was forced to work at some random ass canadian fast food restaurant that just so happened to be the same random ass canadian fast food restaurant ripper just got hired at. and even when they tried to avoid each other, they got stuck working the same shifts because their manager wanted to reel in more customers with that good ol' two-for-one reality tv star rep. and quite literally anything bad that could have happened at this random ass canadian fast food restaurant, happened. but now i'm much too lazy to do write this in fic format. idk. *explodes*
#at some point scary girl causes a scene so terrifying the government themselves pays nichelle and ripper to never speak on it#thus paying their loan#''but scin i think chris was lying when he said that rule to damien'' yeah see i would've touched on that too in the last chapter#idk man this is all hypothetical. it's never coming out at all i just wanted to share it#can you. can you guys tell i took a cbd gummie from this. hysterical question ofc#delete later#(maybe idk this idea is funny enough that i can probably look back at it and laugh)

Wish the party loyalist "stop making Harris look bad bc Trump" people would realize that a) denying reality is exactly what the right does and b) it is on the candidate to win votes by not being a genocide enabling sellout moderate getting endorsed by the fucking Cheneys for her hawkishness on foreign policy while promising little for people at home, not on the voter disillusioned by said issues that the candidate could rectify
#i say i'm done but seeing another one of those posts will make me roll my eyes hard again#this has been going on since 2016 and it's wild how much narrower the overton window has gotten to push these neoliberals#trump is shit but his being shit does not absolve blue team of the shit and blood on their hands#people really need to demand more for their votes#when they lose GA and NC bc of reneging on those $2K checks or saying no to giving Helene victims more aid#[and likely FL too if they follow suit with Milton swinginess aside]#the same people will likely rage at the people left to their rubble for not voting harder#like i'm sure they have at the muslims so rightly outraged at our support for the 🇵🇸 genocide that they refuse to vote for either party#meanwhile i get an email from work saying we have more payroll deductions this next year for our healthcare plans and there's been no talk#of M4A or even some mealy-mouthed means-tested version of it to win votes#and ofc there's student loans starting back up and their burning even more youth votes they were already losing with Gaza#let alone record homelessness... a housing crisis... lead/chemical poisonings... and so on#'we can push her left' they say knowing she takes money from people opposed to her going left on any policies--#and that they're going to brunch anyway#'fascism 2 is coming' *points at Dem-admin/Dem-mayor cop cities* *points at IG accounts being censored bc of being pro-Palestine* been here#anyway pre bed vent over 😴

Sorry, I just need to vent a little bit again... Nnnhhhhgggg!!!
No, but I've just come out of two weeks of time off at work. My next two-three weeks + weekends are already booked with work/conventions/meeting up with people, all of which I do enjoy, but it's all very draining for little old introvert me.
Which means that I need some time alone without seeing anyone and not leaving my house so my social battery and energy levels can replenish. Time that I'm not getting at the moment.
The other day I got a message in a group chat about some friends wanting to meet up. One of those friends has a 4 month old baby so we ask her if she and her husband could suggest some dates that would suit them. She suggested a day that I can't because I'm already meeting up with friends (one of which is in the group chat).
And because I already have so much stuff to do and am barely free, I said that I'm available AT THE EARLIEST around mid November (which isn't even a lie).
So yesterday, the friend who's in the group and who I'm already meeting up with next weekend messages me, asking "you're not even free around my birthday?" (Which is around mid November).
And just... that's not really any of your business? If I say I'm not available, whatever the reason may be, I'm not available.
So I tell her, "no, not really" to which she replies "are you that busy?"
Like... Yes, I'm that busy! I have a ton of work, I have to be at work early the next couple of weeks (which my boss pretty much forced me into), I have to work Saturdays, I have conventions that I would like to go to, you and a bunch of other people have already asked me to meet up and I can't postpone that all the time even though I'd like to and, last but not least, I would really like some time to myself, if that's not too much to ask.
And most importantly: I do not need to explain myself to you??? What, do you want me to share my calendar with you so you can see where I am at any point in the day? I'm not asking her what she's up to all the time, because it's none of my business and because I honestly just don't care what she's doing. If it's important, she'll tell me when I see her.
It's just so annoying! I wish I was more assertive and would actually say something about it but I suck at those things ugh...
Ok rant over
#She can be so... idk what to call it? Rude? Blunt? To the point?#Like... at the end of 2022 I was unemployed for a few months#And we were going somewhere with another friend#And I mentioned that I was tired#To which she went “how can you be tired? You don't work?”#Like... excuse me????#That one friend told us earlier this year that she was going to Japan for three weeks#My first reaction was to be happy for her. I asked her when she was going and where and what she would do#The other friend's first reaction was: “are you staying in a hotel for three weeks? That's gonna be expensive”#Like... really??#That's none of your business?#I doubt she'd go if her budget didn't allow it#And even if she'd have to get a loan for it#That's. None. Of. Your. Business#I just don't get it#But people don't owe you an explanation jfc stop it#ok rant really over#Shut Up Char

Hmgh. Looking at student loan final tallies is a bummer. I can relate to Aly and Grant doing Total Forgiveness but I’d absolutely have laid down with that anaconda.
#ramblies#secrets from baby#if I get super famous maybe I’ll hold a clear my loan fundraiser where I do more and more outrageous things#the worst part is I fought tooth and nail for scholarships and grants#and I still have so much#at a certain point it’s not even real numbers but it’s still a bummer

like i’m seeing criticisms that say the menu’s entire thesis is just “rich people bad” which to me is just not true….each table has a specific failing that goes beyond just being rich, that explains how their wealth has influenced their behavior. tyler entrenches himself in food culture and tells erin repeatedly that she doesn’t get it, but he can’t make a single dish himself because his supposed love of food is entirely upheld by other people making it for him. the food critic sees herself as the patron saint of chef slowik’s restaurant because she gave him a good review years back, but she also destroyed other chefs livelihood for the sake of content. she wants credit for the good, but removes herself from blame for the bad. the business guys think that their connection to their boss, who they think is owed credit for keeping the restaurant open while also providing his inexperienced input, makes them above everyone else. the married couple has spent $1500 11 times to eat there, but they can’t name a single dish they’ve eaten. and yes these distinctions are made by class, but they’re specific and the each make a certain point about the way art is removed from the context of its creator (tyler) or torn apart for content (the critic) or used to promote a soulless business venture (business dudes) or consumed only for appearance (the married couple) and to me that’s so much more than “rich people bad”
#the menu spoilers#and while yeah the student loans joke Did fall into that very simplistic rich people are bad because they’re rich idea#it was one joke among several very well thought out plot points#and i can already tell that one joke is gonna overshadow so much of the movie 😭#BUT IT WAS FUNNY

found out there's a pnach cheat you can use to mute nova's calls in xillia 2 (she gets REALLY insistent if your current gald is over the quantity of the next payment) and now i'm imagining nova calling him and ludger just stares at the ghs in silence and blocks her number
#i can also picture elle protesting 'ludger you can't do that!'#can he even block her number though?#his finances and traveling permissions are already controlled by the ghs#and surely debtors would try to pull stuff like this enough times there's a workaround#x2 talk#also yeah you can cheat engine it and give you more gald but making all payments in one go makes you miss on skits#and until a certain point in story you will also get it stalled and can't actually finish paying the loan

i have 18 inches arriving in the mail tomorrow 🥴
#meaning. i bought the fucking collector's edition of sote#but ok listen. i have been planning on buying the messmer figure at some point anyways. it's financially smarter to do it now than when#theyre no longer available#people selling the figure only is cheaper than the entire collectors edition even if you include shipping + customs#BUT!! there was a sale on the whole thing in a finnish game store#and the price of the whole set was cheaper than any separate figure ive seen even if you ignore shipping and customs#so like. did i spend an insane amount of money? yes. did i technically save money bc i am getting both a figure and an artbook for less tha#the price of the figure? yeah#i am not great at math#can i afford this? no but i just got my student loan money and it was more than i needed based on the budget i made so. yknow.#leevi talks

tumblr posts abt infantilization are always like "NEVER let ANYONE tell you toys are for babies!!!" and never about how it can affect you in real material ways when you have to work with/for people who view you as a big teenager.

vegas (kinnporsche) wishes he had the kind of relationship with his cousin as korn (4 minutes) has.
#4 minutes#4 minutes the series#kinnporsche#kinnporsche the series#korn 4 minutes#vegas theerapanyakul#incest tw#i suppose#so. that happened.#edit: people have pointed it out that uncle might be just an honorific. which. probably that's the correct answer.#but for a few glorious stupid hours i lived in a world where i watched cousin inc*st and the drama of that was amazing.#anyways. i still think vegas kinda wants to fuck his cousin. so. that's that. end of edit.#i know they can pull a *oh it's adoptive* or *oh she's from great's mother's side* so it's not incest. but bro.#they were like. nah-nah. this one goes out for the freaks.#for that one week in kp i did not believe kinn and porsche were cousins.#but this shit?#wow. i hope this is as awful as it can get.#korn is already pretty bad.#loan.blr#loan.txt#loan.kp#loan.4mins#pls don't stone me for this post.

#far too many ppl especially dems and liberals believe in that lesser evil shit meanwhile the ‘lesser evil’ rn is actively engaging in a#whole genocide / never lifted a finger to make sure abortion is a guaranteed right / continues to enact border control policies /#actively is ruining our environment / is extremely pro cop and notoriously anti black#barely even helped with school loans bc now ppl still have to pay them despite all those promises#and there’s so much more to point out#but it’s so disingenuous to say he can help and protect marginalized ppl when HE HASNT!!!!#he is actively actively fucking over so many disabled people and just people in general for not continuing c0vid / masking policies#ppl care too much about ‘preserving american democracy’ or whatever the fuck that means bc it’s never been a democracy…yall just care about#preserving american imperialism exceptionalism and militarism while the global south struggles underneath it all#ppl should be worried about how to fucking get rid of this and stop being stuck by the 2 party system and making excuses for literally#monsters#the only option is kickstarting the fall of an empire atp#🪐 speaking
