Just whatever random thoughts that I get. A lot of it is media stuff, and there's a little social justice but not near enough for me to feel like I'm doing my part but I'm working on that! Also sometimes I feel depressed so there will be angst-filled posts as well sorry. I tend to go through stages with stuff, obsessing over it and then ignoring it for a while so deal with it. And um thanks for stopping by I guess?

Things I know about my mom:

-She cheated on my dad

-She was using money that was supposed to be for bills on drugs

-She “borrowed” money from my brother to actually cover the bills

Things I know about my dad:

-He’s been cheating on my stepmom for at least two years

-He holds back a good portion of his bonuses for his own spending

-He’s started smoking in the past year

-He’s normally good at numbers but has made a lot of mistakes in the past few days.

-My last two paychecks have gone straight into my dad and stepmom’s bank account to cover stuff for my (very first ever) car and I have not had a chance to look at the actual numbers yet to see how things add up.

End Of An Era of the Day: Encyclopaedia Britannica, the mother of all alphabetized knowledge, will be putting its 244-year-old print business out to pasture effective immediately.
This makes the august encyclopedia publisher’s 32-volume 2010 edition the last of its kind.
“Some people will feel sad about it and nostalgic about it. But we have a better tool now,” said Encyclopaedia Britannica Inc. president Jorge Cauz. “But we have a better tool now. The Web site is continuously updated, it’s much more expansive and it has multimedia.”
Indeed, over the last decade, Encyclopaedia Britannica has seen online rival Wikipedia slowly eat away at its market share, with its high-minded notions of free information for all by all.
By comparison, a complete set of Encyclopaedia Britannica books will set you back a cool $1,395. Additionally, dead-tree tomes lack the self-correction and expansion features that come standard with Wikipedia, and are increasingly necessary in today’s fast-paced world of the 24-hour news cycle.
Curriculum products for schools have been Encyclopaedia Britannica primary source of revenue since encyclopedia sales peaked at 120,000 in 1990. According to the company, nearly all the other money it makes comes from subscriptions to its website. Print encyclopedias make up less than 1 percent its profits.

things white allies can do

neverwillstop:

  • shhh: be quiet and listen
  • educate yourself first before you think to ask questions of POC
  • check your privilege
  • know when to collect your folks (call out racism when you see it!)

(also applies to being a straight/cis ally for queer folk or a male ally for other genders and etc., but replace POC and racism with other groups and other -isms)

so my ex came up to me in the diner today…

and i just… asbfajksbfa

idk. it needed to be done- we needed to have a proper conversation- but i just… asfjbaskfjba

that’s not the way to do it

1. Not an ambush in public! Send a note or something that things need to be talked out properly.

2. If it has to be in public, not while I’m eating? I probs would’ve tried to run off if I didn’t have food. >.< I hate being caught off-guard like that.

3. It was all loaded questions like if I regretted dating him. Um, no? But regret does not equal worth? Or other factors. It was too stressful for me because he was too nice. What part of that is hating it or regretting it? Yes I regret my actions at the end of it but ksjdbfkdsjbfs.

**headdesk**

This is why I keep thinking I need to avoid dating. But I hate being single. sakjbfakjsfbas
