im dealing with a lot of conflicting emotions right now

if you can quit being homeless, you're not homeless

I'm gonna be real here I don't think it should be legal for a landlord to dictate what pets a tenant is allowed to have. I'm renting this place; I gave you a safety deposit, I will bring whatever I damn well please into my own damn living space!

[the-punforgiven]

I think it should be illegal for landlords to use a property service that anonymizes them, like, what are you hiding from, buddy? 👁👁

Surely if you just treat your tenants well and do your job, you won't need to hide from anyone, right?

my upstairs neighbor is actually fucking insane and idk how im supposed to keep living like this 🙃

[tittyinfinity]

when you're disabled, being financially abused by your parents never ends

[wfuckshit42]

here's my hot take

[butchfriend]

one of my friends i haven't spoken to in a while just texted asking how i'm doing and i was like. well i'm having a divorce and eviction party this weekend if that answers your question

I don’t think writers should have to be influencers to be published actually. I don't think writers should be expected to double as both authors and advertisers actually especially if they're trying to publish traditionally. I don't think publishing houses should sit there and rake in profits from authors while doing fuckall actually

oh, and one really good thing i did today was sit down with my budget spreadsheet and plan the next year, which i wanted to get ahead with because the current living crisis is yikes already and, as my landlord is trash, my rent is going up in january. 😑.

using a spreadsheet has been so genuinely helpful though. i’ve never managed to budget that effectively before but this method really works for me and i’m much better able to keep track of things and plan ahead. it keeps me accountable as well, which has been helpful with hypo impulsivity. knowing exactly where i’m at means i can answer not just the question of “do i really need it?” but also “can i, right now, actually afford it?”

[baddingtonbitch]

not to be dramatic but if i got a letter like that i'd kill myself in that house and haunt those cunts until they did the same

Mike doesn't live in your mind rent free he's invoking squatters rights

the only right he's invoking right now is his right to get fucked silly

Women are out of their minds. Dating profiles be like

Occupation: Genetic sequencer for the NIH, working on cure for AIDS Favorite qualities: Kindness! Must get along with my dogs!

Girl raise the fucking bar are you shitting me do you have any idea how far out of most men's leagues you are (yes leagues are still a thing when you're an adult it just depends entirely on your occupation instead of social standing sorry kids welcome to capitalist hell)

i got rickrolled today but it didn't work because i have adblocker installed, so youtube just told me i violated the terms of service. yesterday i was trying to edit a picture as a joke for my girlfriend, and google made me check a box to prove i'm human because i wasn't "searching normally".

it isn't just that capitalism is killing fun and whimsy, it is that any element of entertainment or joy is being fed upon by this mosquito body, one that will suck you dry at any vulnerability.

do you want to meet new friends in your city? download this app, visit our website, sign up for our email list. pay for this class on making a terrarium, on candlemaking, on cooking. it will be 90 dollars a session. you can go to group fitness, but only under our specific gym membership. solve the puzzle, sign up for our puzzle-of-the-month-club. what is a club if not just a paid opportunity - you are all paying for the same thing, which makes you a community.

but you're like me, i know it - you're careful, you try the library meetings and the stuff at the local school and all of that. the problem is that you kind of want really specific opportunities that used to exist. you are so grateful for libraries and the publicly-funded things: they are, however, an exception - and everything they have, they've fought tooth-and-nail to protect. you read a headline about how in many other states, libraries have virtually nothing left.

do you want to meet up with your friends afterwards? gift your friends the discord app. you can choose to go to a cafe (buy a coffee, at least), a bar (money, alcohol) or you can all stay in and catch a movie (streaming) or you can all stay in bed (rent. don't get me started) and scream (noise complaint. ticket at least).

you want to read a new book, but the book has to have 124 buzzwords from tiktok readers that are, like, weirdly horny. you can purchase this audiobook on audible! your podcast isn't on spotify, it's on its own server, pay for a different site. fuck, at least you're supporting artists you like. the art museum just raised their ticket price. once, they had a temporary exhibit that acknowledged that ~85% of their permanent art galleries were from cis white men, and that they had thousands of works by women (even famous women, like frida! georgia o'keefe!) just rotting in their basement. that exhibit lasted for 3 months and then they put everything away again.

walmart proudly supports this strip of land by the street! here are some flowers with wilting leaves. its employees have to pay out-of-pocket for their uniforms. my friend once got fined by the city because she organized a community pick-up of the riverfront, which was technically private property.

no, you cannot afford to take that dance class, neither can i. by the way - i'm a teacher. i'm absolutely not saying "educators shouldn't be paid fairly." i'm saying that when i taught classes, renting a studio went from 20 bucks an hour to 180 in the span of 6 months. no significant changes to the studio were made, except they now list the place as updated and friendly. the heat still doesn't work in the building. i have literally never seen the landlord who ignores my emails. recently they've been renting it out at night as an "unusual nightclub; a once-in-a-lifetime close-knit party." they spent some of those 180 dollars on LEDs and called it renovating. the high heels they invite in have been ruining the marley.

do you want to experience the old internet? do you want to play flash games or get back the temporary joy of club penguin? you can, you just need to pay for it. i have a weird, neurodivergent obsession with occasionally checking in to watch the downfall and NFT-ification of neopets. if i'm honest with you all - i never got into webkins, my family didn't have the money to buy me a pointless elephant. people forget that "being poor" can mean literally "if i buy you that toy, i can't afford rent."

you and i don't have time to make good food, and we don't have the budget for it. we are not gonna be able to host dinner parties, we're not made of money, kid. do you want some kind of 3rd space? a space that isn't home or work or school? you could try being online, but - what places actually exist for you? tiktok counts as social media because you see other people on it, not because they actually talk to you.

there was a local winter tradition of sledding down the hill at my school. kids would use pizza boxes and jackets and whatever worked, howling and laughing. back in september, they made a big announcement that this time, rules were changing, and everyone must pay 10 dollars to participate. when im not scared shitless, i kind of appreciate the environmental irony - it hasn't gone below 40. so much for snow & joyriding.

i saw a bulletin for a local dogwalking group and, nervous about making a good first impression, showed up early. the first guy there grimaced at me. "sorry," he said. "there's a 30-dollar buy-in fee." i thought he was joking. wait. for what? the group doesn't offer anything except friendship and people with whom to walk around the city.

he didn't know the answer. just shrugged at me. "you know," he said. "these days, everything costs money."
