for every "how dare you plan to spend money out of your entertainment budget while i, a complete stranger to you, am still poor" post i see i am buying another $3 worth of crabs
#look. i get that people in bad financial situations are tetchy#which is why i talked myself out of reblogging several stupid posts#but this is just the 'how dare poor people buy starbucks' argument except coming from other poor people#if you wouldn't begrudge a fellow poor person their sugary coffee just because you yourself don't have a coffee budget this week#then shut the fuck up about people wanting to give up a week's coffee to maybe help a website they enjoy#'if everybody donated to my kofi instead of to tumblr then i wouldn't be poor anymore'#yeah probably but also no one knows who you are and you're not specialer than any of the other poor ppl who enjoy this site#meanwhile we ALL know what tumblr is. because we live here#it's like 'why did they donate to save the savings & loan instead of to the individuals in the town who had loans out'#also. why does everyone think that solving the moderation problem is free!!!#that shit is very hard work! it's not a solved problem algorthmically at all#this site has 200 employees and 21 million posts a DAY#crab day#tumblr meta#dove.txt
