The thought of Elon musk’s ugly little murine ass just rooting and truffle sniffing through all of our legal documents like a Norway rat burrowing into the fine wood of an old Victorian farmhouse makes me physically Ill btw. Somebody set out the poison already, Jesus Christ.

The whole party’s so codependent that this hardly matters anyway but Queerplatonic FabRiz is actually so important to me like all I picture is them at 20 being like Fabian “Hello my future lover, this is my emotional support provider THE BALL, I run most of my decisions past him and lose my mind if he’s not around.” Meanwhile Riz just gets the confirmation he’s actually loved for being a great friend and just the validation that his friendship is as important to someone’s life as a romance partner and also getting to at some point to be Fabian’s Sugarbaby.

Another hint of what good parents the Curtis’ were, is the fact that Darry played high school football and took that acrobatics class at the Y.

The students reading the book who come from environments where extracurriculars are a given, probably don’t realize what a big deal that is for a poor family. Extracurriculars cost money, and when you grow up without money, the price tag of participating in the same activities as your classmates is always a concern and never a guarantee. In addition to the cost, something like football would also take up enough of Darry’s time to preclude him getting a job. So not only are they paying for his extracurriculars, they’re losing any money he would’ve brought in.

And yes, they were probably hoping it would pay off in the form of a football scholarship, but even making that investment and foregoing money they probably needed in the short term, would be a financial feat. So would planning for him to go to college at all. It would have been understandable for them to say, we’re sorry but there’s no money for college, and encourage him to find a part time job that could transition into a full time job once he graduated high school. So whatever their hopes were, they were first and foremost for their child.

So you have parents who are too poor to move out of the east side, but their son plays school sports and takes random classes for fun. It implies what great lengths these parents went to in order to give their kids opportunities that they probably couldn’t really afford.

End of year sale! 15% off everything from now until Christmas!

Hey guys! I'm currently running a holiday sale over on my Etsy store! I'll be adding new items to my inventory when I have them in hand sometime next week, including new stickers and washi tape!

Which is great personal timing for me because I just got fired from my job! *Jazz hands*

John Knefel at MMFA:

The new head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — a former top architect in the controversial transition plan known as Project 2025 — reportedly told its employees on February 10 to “not perform any work tasks this week,” at least temporarily shuttering an agency that has been the target of right-wing media attacks for years. Russ Vought, who also serves as the director of the Office of Management and Budget, wrote over the weekend that the CFPB “will not be taking its next draw of unappropriated funding because it is not 'reasonably necessary' to carry out its duties.” The CFPB has saved working Americans tens of billions of dollars since it was founded in 2011, including more than $6 billion in annual overdraft fees alone from 2019-2023. Calling it “one of Wall Street’s most feared regulators,” The New York Times reported on February 9 that the bureau’s success has put it “squarely in the Trump administration’s cross hairs.”

Now, Vought appears to be fulfilling a Project 2025 promise — and a longtime right-wing media goal — by taking an axe to the CFPB.

[...] Vought laid bare Project 2025’s broad ambitions in a secretly recorded video last year, saying that he and his collaborators had prepared “about 350 different documents that are regulations and things of that nature that are — we’re planning for the next administration.” The Trump administration has already begun following through on Project 2025’s goals, and dismantling the CFPB is no different. Mandate for Leadership refers to the bureau as a “highly politicized, damaging, and utterly unaccountable federal agency” that is “unconstitutional,” writing that the “next conservative President should order the immediate dissolution of the agency—pull down its prior rules, regulations and guidance, return its staff to their prior agencies and its building to the General Services Administration.” In his dual role at the top of OMB and the CFPB, Vought is well-positioned to enact this sweeping agenda, and he is already taking steps that would amount to a massive power grab for Trump’s White House.  Vought and his colleagues at the Center for Renewing America are leading supporters of a radical theory that the executive branch can unilaterally refuse to spend money allocated by Congress. Toward that end, Vought issued an OMB memo that temporarily froze all federal funding. (The memo was later retracted after widespread backlash.)

Russ Vought, the man that served as the key architect for Project 2025, begins efforts of the GOP’s long-held dream to dismantle the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
