At the end of 2022, there were approximately $2259.3 Billion US Dollars in circulation, according to the federal reserve.
Jeff Bezos is currently worth $142.9 Billion US Dollars.
One guy currently holds 6.32% of the worth of all American money and he is only the third wealthiest person in the world.
Which really puts the concept of billionaires into perspective.

i once had an anti tell me to stop sexualizing their trauma on a story i wrote that was a word for word retelling of my own actual trauma but with names changed and its been 2 years and i still cant stop thinking about that
Ah, yeah... Unfortunately a non-insignificant number of antishippers seem to genuinely believe they own the concept of trauma, so any story they read that they believe to be portrayed in a romanticized or sexualized light therefore must be romanticizing/sexualizing their trauma specifically.
I couldn't tell you the amount of times I've gotten the "stop sexualizing my trauma!!!!!!" or adjacent comments from antishippers that universally garner a response that basically boils down to
Tumblr media
Like, bitch! I'm talking about my trauma! I literally did not even know you existed until you fucking commented!
#proship#proshipper#anti bs#just anti things#glad to know antis assuming every story about trauma must be about them specifically seems to be a universal proshipper experience lol#like *how* am I sexualizing *your* trauma when I literally do not even know who you are?#like if you hadn't commented I would've gone my entire life not knowing you even exist#if I had omnipotence like that I certainly would not be using that power to sexualize the trauma of some random fucking stranger! lol#you think my petty ass would be doing *that* instead of the infinitely more infuriating thing of spoiling every show you love at any chance#jokes aside though like seriously get fucking real#I hate to burst your main character syndrome bubble but nobody fucking cares about you#not in the ''nobody loves you and you'll die alone'' sense#but in the ''you are just Some Guy™ and the 8 billion other people on the planet have their own problems to worry about'' sense#if someone is writing about trauma maybe take your self-centred goggles off for 5 fucking seconds#and maybe you'll realise that it is 1000000% more likely this random stranger is writing about *their* trauma#and *not* the trauma of a person whose entire existence they are not even aware of#I do believe the tiktok trend of referring to strangers as ''NPCs'' has at least contributed to this epidemic of main character syndrome#people you don't know are *not* ''NPCs'' you fucking robot!#they are human beings just like you with lives and dreams and loved ones#you just don't know them#sorry but I genuinely think I'd go to jail for murder if I ever heard someone refer to me as an ''NPC'' out in public#'cause genuinely who the fuck do you think you are!?

characters so powerful that they have eyes that glow don’t know how lucky they are, I wish my eyes could glow with power when I’m too emotional but nooo

I honestly love and adore Jungkook so much and ever since I've found your fics, I've turned into a new level of delusional. Hehe, you're my comfort person, Art. Jungkook is happiness personafied and he'll always be a sort of my first love for me but it makes me scared and terribly lonely that I might never find this love I've created in my head and that a part of my soul is always gonna long for him. Sorry for dumpin it on you but I was reading your old fics and I feel oddly emotional. Hope you're having a great day :D
anonie i apologizehdjshdjshfh 😭🫂 i just love writing about love and i love jungkook so much so T_T
but i totally understand where you’re coming from !! he is just too lovely and attractive. and it’s difficult to find somebody you can fully entrust your heart with :( + entering a relationship is definitey not to be taken lightly. it takes so much patience, effort, and commitment. however i hope you can keep your heart open for new people. even if they only stay temporarily, even if they leave something behind, even if they break parts of it— i hope it never becomes a reason to shut anyone out because that only means that the right person might be the next one to come along 🥺
omg and it’s okay!! thank you for reading my older works <3 it’s a relief to know they’re not just forgotten and collecting dust. hehe love you !!

anyway our CNS & brains are pretty complex, like we've barely figured out getting people with partial spinal cord damage back driving their own bodies + when we do it's still a roll of the dice & the processes are not all well understood... encephalitis can caused locked-in-ness like with sleeping sicknesses, akinetic mutism, etc where the body itself is not physically incapable of movement & action, but nothing is out there that jumps in and takes over from a driver who's paralyzed or asleep at the wheel... that's not actually a thing, it's fun speculative fiction but not representative of reality— so really, no worries lol

for a lot of people i know the experience is very angsty and you don't actually want to die, so it's very difficult, but that's just not my experience at all... the happier i am the more likely i am to be suicidal, and the closer i get to doing it. when i was younger i was definitely suicidal because of depression or whatever but that's not how i feel anymore. anyway i tried to look up if this is a common experience and i can't find ANYTHING written by other people who feel this way at all. they were all articles about how you might fake being happy for other people to not feel bad for you... it's like. i'm not that nice a person, i just genuinely feel joy and suicidality together. i think the joy comes first. idk where this post is going. maybe it's a bit like a mixed state bipolar episode except i'm neither severely depressed nor manic? i don't feel unwell at all, and i don't want to pathologise something that's just a normal emotional experience for me, but that's the closest description i can find of it.

It's not ok for it to nearly be 2023 and we are still fighting for women's rights and black rights and lgbtq rights and NOW WE ALSO HAVE TO FIGHT OVER THE RIGHT TO HAVE AN ADVERTISEMENT FREE SKY? ON TOP OF ALL THAT *AND* THE FACT THAT MOTHERFUCKERS ARE STILL POLLUTING THE PLANET?
Maybe this is why people can't see themselves living to be old anymore. Maybe it's because the longer we live the more outrageous things get fucked up until we just can't see a future where we can live in anymore. What the fuck. This is so fucked.

You are also allowed to change your mind! You are allowed to believe you might want kids when you are younger and then decide later for whatever reason, “Nope this isn’t for me. That’s not how I see this playing out. Not gonna do it.”
You don’t have to justify the choice to anyone.
stop telling your teenage daughters who say they don't want kids that they'll change their mind

Reading comments about the Olympics and saw someone dissing on an athlete for coming in 58th place.
Like bro out of 8 billion people on the planet, i'd kill to be the 58th best at something.
