i know people hate temu and i hate that i use it but i Know how to scam the scammer with these apps and i’ve gotten so much free items and credit and only buy what i Need. i accumulated everything i need (temu said was $420 worth of items but like let’s be real, they’re probably worth $200 all up) and i still only paid $19 for EverYtHing. as someone who usually can barely afford the very basics of living like rent and food, being able to cheat an evil app to get things i normally can’t afford for a price i CAN afford is why i still have it downloaded. i know it’s stupid but for once i feel like my unemployed disabled ass can actually contribute to fun things without giving up paying for something like my fucking meds.

PLEASE HELP!!!

2 for $20 chibi special!!! My bank put me in the red BY A LOT today cuz they overdrew my checking account for bills and ummm I’m freaking out. Please help.

I can’t even afford to get my driver’s license renewed by September (which I need to do cuz it’s expiring and only like $50 but I don’t have money) but I need that cuz I’ll be starting my clinical practicum next month for school which is also why I can’t leave my crappy job that pays me next to nothing.

Please please please help I’m begging you. I want to draw for you guys, but I really shouldn’t take full-blown commissions cuz I’m also in grad school and dealing with studying for finals. My commissions are always open, but I’m offering the 2 for $20 special for chibis (my usual pricing is $15 each)

Dm for PayPal info and to send your character refs. If you can’t commission, reblogs are super appreciated. Please and thank you 🙏

Women’s self-image is as negative as ever despite the “body positivity” wave of choice feminism. Why?

I think one of the biggest reasons as to why women’s beauty standards and self-image are worse than even is because you can preach about unfair beauty standards all you want and tell women not to make fun of another woman’s looks but you can’t take away the social status and praise that women who are “beautiful” get from society (both men and women). You give them clout and praise them. Something both “body positivity” and “body neutrality” feminists do btw despite all the talk about acceptance.

It’s like saying you don’t support the ethics behind a product and yet still consume and buy it. In this case “beauty” being a luxury achieved via consumerism where women become the products (objects) that other women admire and obsess over. There is a demand so there is a supply PERIOD.

Women might not directly pursue beauty (“I do it for myself”) for men but nonetheless it’s definitely ingrained as a sign of status and that’s enough to cause a negative self-image in women who don’t participate. Men might have been the original perpetrators of installing unrealistic beauty standards for women but the victims (women) have also turned into perpetrators who can’t let go of the misogynistic status symbol of having value from appearances because it’s considered “culture”.

it's really a shame I have to sell 40+ of my life hours every week for poverty wages instead of spending all my time and energy on dozens of creative and technical pursuits with unlimited resources

Kind of sad some of the later books edged away from the overtly technomagical stuff, not completely of course but it feels like less of a factor than it used to be.

It would have been funny to see how the LF world dealt with magical cryptocurrency and so on. And the setting timeline has just about reached the time when people RL were creating numerological meme cults and what have you

At least we got “we used AI to target our death rays and an error in the training got hundreds of people killed” lmao

published comic artists who don't know anatomy (and refuse to learn it) are shaking hands with published authors who cannot write a compelling narrative/characters (and refuse to improve) and it pisses me off

Cool.. Our rent price got raised. :') I did not know it was even possible to get even MORE poor than me and mom already were, but here we are. Guess I'll start surviving on literal bread and water at this rate.

Emily's kick seemed to really do the trick, as Nicholas let go of Randall's neck and rolled off of him in a daze, while Randall himself coughed and gasped for air, rubbing his sore throat while Nicholas groaned, seeming dazed as he struggled to his feet, legs wobbly as he did. He made a feeble attempt at rushing one of them (given how unfocused his gaze was, it was near-impossible to know who), but in doing so, he earned a punch across the jaw from Elizabeth, causing him to stumble back, swaying on his feet as Randall, having recovered, got to his feet, eyes dark with anger.

In that moment, he remembered. He remembered it all-searing pain across his throat, Emily's terrified screams as his disembodied head gushing blood soared through the air, landing in a lonely hatbox. It filled his stomach with acid, set his blood ablaze, filled him with a righteous anger that made his vision turn red, and his hands ball into fists.

Honestly, he could've killed Nicholas where he stood-he very easily could've made him feel everything he made him and Emily feel, that lifetime ago. But to stoop to his level...that sickened him, and so, as the coup de grace, Randall socked Nicholas clean in the nose, finally knocking the lout out flat on the ground. He lived, only knocked out cold by this finishing punch.

"What should we do with him?" Mrs. Henshaw asked, tempting to give him a kick in the side for good measure, but Beau, as he checked on everyone, replied with a shrug, "I say we leave him here, to be quite honest. By the time he comes around, we'll be long gone, and if he tries to tattle on our little plan, well...who's going to believe him? To the ears of everyone in New Orleans, it'll sound like Mr. Pennyworth was bitter that Dorian upstaged him, upset that he didn't get to have Emily's hand, and is trying to drag him through the mud out of spite, and with an outlandish-sounding story to boot. He'll be ostracized, and I believe, to him, that'll be a fate worse than death."

There was a murmur of agreements at this, as Dorian wrapped a loving arm around Elizabeth's waist, pulling her close to him, while Randall embraced Emily, burying his face in her shoulder, so grateful that she was alright. His eyes were damp with tears as memories filled his mind, good and bad, and he swallowed hard as he closed his eyes.

Thank you, he thought to himself, to no one in particular-perhaps a guardian angel, if they happened to be smiling upon him (which he certainly felt they were). Thank you for this second chance-thank you for our life!

If anyone sees a bootleg/torrent (?) or anything of Weird: The Al Yankovic story around after it comes out on Friday please let me know. I'm in the UK with only my laptop, so I have no way of watching it (without a TV the only option is the web player, which isn't a thing in the UK).

It would be funny if I didn’t actually get upset about it but tonight my parents got mad at me for being frustrated that in a few months when I turn 24 I’m going to be an intern who’s making about $6/hr (I have a masters degree).

Like I know it sounds silly and ungrateful but I really need my parents to be less supportive of me. They constantly dismiss my own feelings about myself and my abilities to say their own view of me as someone who’s smart and talented (not anymore) and that I could get really competitive jobs (like I haven’t been trying and failing to even get an interview for jobs that aren’t that competitive)

It just feels like toxic positivity too, like they refuse to let me express any negative feelings and by constantly telling me that they’re proud of me/that I can achieve so much, it feels like I am always competing with the version of me in their heads. That I’m not allowed to fail or be less than they see me.
