I REMADE MY BLOG!

you can now find me at mothraesthetic. i think i’ve followed everyone on that blog, but i may have missed some ppl bc i had to do it over two separate days bc of tumblr’s daily follow limit. so if i’m not following you on that blog and i’m following you on this one AND you want me following you, feel free to let me know.

don’t worry, nothing happened that necessitated me leaving this blog, i just want to try being more organized (lmao let’s see how long that lasts).

New theme!

It is literally impossible to save money when you are poor.

One more time for those in the back:  It is literally impossible to save money when you are poor.

This isn’t because of bad planning or irresponsibility. It is because everything costs money all of the time, poverty is engineered by capitalism, and being poor is fucking expensive. 

I’ll never forget the time when my then-boyfriend told me that I should buy a $75 pair of work shoes instead of the $10 work shoes I’d bought only months ago that were already falling apart. His reasoning was that better-made shoes would last longer and I wouldn’t have to buy shoes so often. This didn’t take into account the fact that I would need that extra $65 for the power bill, groceries, gas, car insurance, etc. 

I have never been given good advice from a non-poor person when it comes to money. Ever. Because all of their advice is predicated on the idea that somehow you aren’t working hard and that money is available to you if you just want it bad enough. Non-poor people have been made to think that they are somehow just naturally good with their money, but when you ask them to think critically when it comes to money, they lose all logic.

Let me be clear: Poor people are some of the hardest working, creative, and smartest people I have ever met. We wouldn’t survive otherwise. 

The best quote I’ve ever heard about money was from a book describing poor farmers at the turn of the century and this girls father was trying to explain why they couldn’t buy a bigger sack of cornmeal that cost more overall but less per pound and he told his daughter

“Only rich people can afford to be thrifty”

And it’s the goddamn truth dude

Early 2000′s Internet Fandom Gothic

• Someone has been leaving increasingly bizarre messages on your guestbook.
  
• You get a favorite on one of your drawings featuring a character’s death. You go to thank them, but have second thoughts when you see their page consists only of a bloated gallery of faves that are all about that one character dying.
  
• Just who else is a sock puppet of that BNF?
  
• Your favorite fansite still hasn’t come back from hiatus. Rumors swirl on the forums of a different site that the webmistress died, the broken banner on her splash page her online epitaph.
  
• You swear you’ve read this songfic set to My Immortal before, but it’s the most recent submission. You couldn’t have. 
  
• Your computer doesn’t support Japanese characters but that doesn’t stop you from trying to navigate your fandom’s doujin circles. You somehow stumble onto a page dedicated to lovingly-rendered anatomical dissections of every character.
  
• Your favorite fanfiction is getting progressively weirder and more incoherent with every update. You hope the author is okay.
  
• You get the feeling you shared this positive fanart of a female character with the wrong crowd.
  
• There’s a new batch of icons posted on one of your LJ communities! None of them are loading. Everybody else is commenting on them; why are you the only one who can’t see them?
  
• You make a new friend on a forum, and you exchange AIM handles. After a few days of chatting, she begins to tell you about her experiences in something called “the Astral Plane”.
  
• This video is taking an eternity to buffer. 
  
• DxHxR citrus, PWP, H/C, NC, CBT, WS, M/M, M/M/M, WAFF ^_^ WIP please R&R!!!
  
• As you finally turn out the light and close your eyes to go to sleep, you swear you can hear it coming from outside: the dial-up noise.
  

I think the best part about this is it’s not even really meme-ified, this was LITERALLY what fandom was like.

That’s exactly what I was going to say. People who didn’t experience this probably think it sounds bizarre. No, that’s basically what it was like. Early internet fandom was a strange place.

i think like two thirds of the things on this list happened to me in middle school. 

this is just completely factual

I am the astral plane kid. I got better.

Should I make migas for dinner or egg tacos (which when you think abt it is lazy migas bc there is less chopping to make)
