Ouran high school was my favourite anime when I was like 14 which is really funny because thats also the age I basically was in a Haruhi fujioka situation. Not like fully literally but the meat of it was the same
I was the one single middle-class kid in a super high-end rich kid private academy with like pressed uniforms and building wings and everything. I didnt get any sort of scholarship, my dad just got a job as a teacher there and teachers kids got to enroll for free because the tuition was like 30 grand a year and you arent affording that on a teacher salary. So I understand her on a very visceral level and perhaps enjoyed OHSHC so much because she was SOOO me fr. These damn rich people
One time I convinced my classmates that I had never had sushi before because we were too poor to afford it just so they would pay for my sushi dinner and it worked. They were so out of touch that they thought I didnt have the money for anything more expensive than fast food. I did in fact take advantage of this partially because every teenager is a shithead and I was not exempt from that rule and partially because I knew they had more money than god so it was a totally victimless crime. A classmate once bought 2 copies of The Last Guardian on release just because they thought I “deserved a new game.” They thought I couldnt afford a new video game and I said nothing
This experience also made me utterly immune to the “rich people shit is when [middle class thing]” discourse on this site. Because ive directly experienced rich people shit and its NOT when someone goes to NYU or gets Starbucks on their breaks at the job they have to work to afford their mortgage.
Rich people shit is when I had to yell at my classmates that we are not spending tens of thousands of dollars ON BALLOONS for our prom when we had a DJ to pay and their response to me was “thats only 700 dollars per person.”
Rich people shit is when I went to go tutor one of my classmates little brothers who was struggling with history and it took him 10 minutes to go get his tablet from his bedroom and come back to the kitchen table because their house was that big, which was being cleaned by a live-in maid while their private chef made us snacks the entire time I was tutoring him. And then their parents paid me 500 bucks and told me “sorry I seem to have misplaced my other wallet, is this enough? Its not a lot :((”
Rich people shit is when the other teachers kids and I breezed through school with high GPAs because all of our peers had so much money that they never had to care about getting into a good university or having careers or budgeting or anything, so they never tried.
Rich people shit is when youre invited to a little get together on the weekends and get told to bring an overnight bag because their definition of a little get together is an overnight yacht trip. And then you get there and find out that your middle class definition of what’s needed for an overnight trip is VERY different from a rich persons definition of the same thing: you have some pajamas, clean underwear, toothpaste, and some soap and face wash, maybe some moisturizer. They bring half their wardrobes and designer personally-commissioned serums that cost more than your house and then tell you that youre “just so quaint.”
So much discourse around whos rich and whos not comes from people who have never been in a rich persons reality and so they end up shooting directly above them and calling that rich. But I tell you from personal experience that rich people are uniquely disconnected from reality and anybody who has to work for a living is by definition NOT rich. I dont care if they have a big suburban house and 2 new cars and go on vacations a lot, thats not RICH. Rich is when their kids think 700 dollars is pocket change for prom balloons and have their own personal yacht to take their friends on whenever they want, not when someone goes to fucking NYU.
my extremely wealthy aunt told me I really must spend a summer in an Italian villa some time.
My uncle laughed at her and said, “Normal people don’t do that, Joan.”
microdosing on someone putting their cigarette out on me by using my bugbite zapper thing
it’s pretty sick actually. if u enjoy the sensation of getting burned for 1 singular second and then no pain after id def recommend it
bugBITE zapper. bug BITE zapper. not those things for zapping bugs. the device used to relieve the itchiness of bug bites with heat. can you hear me? BUG BITE ZAPPER NOT A BUG ZAPPER DO NOT SLAP YOUR GIRLS PUSSY WITH A BUG ZAPPER
It’s basically the same effect. I use the tennis racket one & it has the same shock + no after effect. Also it’s sillyyyyuyy
Just saw someone with “use whatever pronouns you use for yourself for me” in bio. I honestly never considered the depth the pronoun metagame could have, we’ve barely scratched the surface with this shit
Just saw a post that reminded me that when i was in the botanical gardens today there was a new sign with a photo of a cat and so clearly i was like oho? botanical garden mascot cat?? (mascat even) and went to see what the sign said and the sign said . See this cat? This cat is here all the time. she WILL beg you for pets. do not listen to her she is a fucking liar she will bite bite kill you. we do not own her. we do not know who owns her. if you know please fucking tell us. which is funny enough as like a sign purely because you know some botanical garden employees found this out the hard way but particularly funny because i MET THIS CAT WEEKS AGO. in the botanical gardens. she was sunning on a bench and very politely asked me for pets and was very nice for like ten minutes and then she bit me (not very hard, didn’t break skin or anything) at which point i sternly told her well in that case i would not be petting her anymore and left and she followed me OUT of the gardens DOWN the street for a good bit, again shamelessly begging for pets. what an accomplished little criminal. neighborhood famous for lying and betrayal. god forbid women do anything

wish literally any gay papers would talk about lil nas x cause every article is either written with contempt OR makes sweeping assumptions by only quoting the cops and blatantly lies about things they contradict in their own article. like how is there no coverage of support or efforts to keep an eye on his location?
shortest possible story is that he he got arrested and hospitalized after walking around outside at night, MAYBE having ‘an episode’, MAYBE he was drunk, maybe he was high, maybe he was just being loud, who knows. Dude was outside at night in boxers and cowboy boots and that’s all he did to “invite” police interaction.
But cops claimed he assaulted them so he gets arrested. Then goes to the hospital. Then goes back into custody.
And then he’s not heard of for a while, then days later says he’s out and okay. But facing FELONY charges!
WHERE IS EVERYONE? Pinknews cunts? Them? OutMag? Hello??
“naked” he was in underwear and boots. “assaulted” but most papers say he “charged at” the cops, while others claim he punched a cop, yet nothing conclusive out. Some papers speculate mental health concerns but nothing is beyond speculation. “drug use” accusations are being taken at face value EXCEPT by TeenVogue quoting Reuters:
Reuters reports that police said they suspected the artist was using drugs when he was arrested, and a judge mandated he attend an outpatient drug rehabilitation program as a condition of his release from jail. Lil Nas X’s lawyer, Christy O'Connor, told the judge that there was no evidence of drug use, per Reuters, calling the incident an aberration “in an otherwise productive life.”
From the linked Reuters article:
He was accused of assaulting the officers who were trying to take him into custody, injuring three of them.
Damn, didn’t know he was a skinny ass John Wick. It’s almost like the most sensationalized lies about a situation being told by COPS are being reprinted as truth despite apparently zero evidence, testing, or accounts besides from the cops who assaulted him, and EVERYONE is treating this like some moral failing from Lil Nas X or a joke, and not a traumatic brutalization on a person that presented no danger to anyone.
Fuck the cops and fuck each racist and homophobic paper for their drivel, INCLUDING queer papers backtracking on their support.
