people can spend their own money on whatever they want even if you don't like it
i honestly don't care if people buy the stupid blue checkmarks i just think it's entirely typical for the certain kinds of people who ARE buying them i have never been SURPRISED by who's bought them + i WILL make fun of them + when it gets into spending ridiculous amounts of money it becomes insufferable.
that person spent like 56 usd/86 aud. and i'm not going to be like that money could have gone to the hundreds of donation posts on this site where people have to beg for their own livelihoods (even though it could have) because i understand that just having spending money doesn't mean it's automatically donateable or something but it's ridiculous to waste exuberant amounts of money for a BIT that only half the website even sees and is giving money to the site that is run by an uncaring bigoted staff that get off on acting like they're "cooler" and down to earth/for the people but are hosting violent and incredibly harmful groups with no moderation when they've proved multiple times they HAVE the moderation tools to get rid of them. at least twitter and shit actually pretend to give a shit about moderation.
but yeah people can spend their own money on whatever they want even if i don't like it it's just pathetic to waste 86 dollars on a meaningless bit of code when you could've bought yourself something like actually nice. or donated it if it means so little to you. 86 dollars is half of my grocery shop. you are at the very least just a fucking asshole.

It really makes me sick to see people giving money to penny weeklies when Franklin's expedition STILL has not been found 😭 There are good men out there trapped in unimaginable temperatures and literally all that's needed is a little more funding for another rescue mission yet all you guys seem to care about are your vulgar little stories...

Sorry for posting so much about Tom Gradgrind/James Harthouse from Hard Times lately. It turns out that I was getting arsenic poisoning from my wallpaper? Anyway I took a seaside stroll and I'm normal now. Check your walls y'all
#whyyy did i assume they were committing unlawful actions together like where did i even get that from lol #hard times isn't even that good by dickens standards tbh

I swear this website has 0 reading comprehension skills. Darwin NEVER claimed we "evolved" from apes like if one of you guys actually bothered to open his new book you'll see all his arguments are backed up by evidence. He actually makes a lot of sense
#sure there's nuance like i don't fully agree with all of it #but his general theory of natural selection seems pretty sound imo

Of course these are the finalists lmao this website is so predictable. Anyway vote Heathcliff if you dont i'm going to assume you're a phrenologist
📖 sapphichelenburns Follow
It's not problematic to acknowledge the fact that Heathcliff was a brute like he literally killed dogs in case you forgot. #rochestersweep
🙈 butchbronte Follow
I love the implication here that Rochester never did anything cruel either. He literally locked his wife in the attic and lied to Jane about it 😭 like that was a pretty significant thing that happened

And? God forbid women do anything

imma be real with you chief i am not buying crabs to help a company be profitable. i dont care that this website is losing money. remember when we all celebrated at how we tanked its value so bad when verizon sold it. corporate tumblr are not your friends you do not need to give them money.
donate to mutual aid groups or individual fundraisers for medical bills or something instead
