On Saturday I said to my partner, as I have said for months, "A ten thousand dollar a year raise would solve so many of my problems."
As of this morning I was reluctantly looking for jobs because I love my job and don't want to leave it, but see: $10k raise problem solver.
As of noon today this was no longer an issue, because my boss called me with the news that I was getting a $10K merit raise.
I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. This is roughly $200 extra per paycheck. Enough to pay off debt faster, rebuild my savings, and spend a weekend a month in Milwaukee getting obscenely laid. The sex I'm going to have on $200 extra per paycheck. You can't even.
May all of you get the $10K raise your soul has yearned for. And whatever level of sex you can be satisfied with for $200.

eating would be fine if it was only a recreational activity. instead, its a horrible sisiphean nightmare and you need to do it every day without fail on threat of pain and death

this isnt using the word possessiveness in a negative way btw
i feel like a lot of the issues people have with seeing romantic relationships as more inherently valuable as a label would be solved if we viewed labels for specific relationships as being more about possessiveness then how we feel about people/how we wish to interact with them
#im sleep deprived so i dont think this is going to properly convey my thoughts but more so im thinking of it as like#a lot of times when we want to categorize a relationship with someone as romantic yes maybe you want to kiss or fuck them but you dont Have#to be in a romantic relationship for that but i think for a lot of people its this posessiveness(neutral) that causes them to view romantic#relationships above all else and causes people to be confused about queer platonic relationships that seem to look maybe exactly like their#but with different words associated or life goals#sometimes you just want to say hey that persons mine and i love them and theyre my person#and unfortunately the way to communicate that to society is to say youre dating#nowadays just saying theyre my partner works but people associate specific things with that still#there doesnt have to be romantic attraction to want to call someone yours#and i think thats why people get so confused about attraction and lack of it because they see ace or aro people who want relationships that#look similar to theirs because they think the possessiveness part is the whole thing they think Thats the attraction#and this still applies to poly people because someone can be yours without being Wholly yours#idk thats just a theory

i think when we used to point out that a story didn't need a sex scene what we meant was "this story reduces its women to mere sex objects and gives them no interiority so the sex scenes are gratuitous and geared towards the male gaze" it wasn't the sex that bothered us per se it was the objectification of female characters while givig them little to no consequence to the overall story but nowadays people mean "sex is icky and gross and has no merit to ever be portrayed in our arts which should be good and pure and never ever make ME feel discomfort" and it's like. i bet a bowl of unfrosted flakes looks real good to you rn
