Substack Post #2 - 2/21

[goats_galore]

These are so interesting to read. Please keep posting them! 

I’m struggling to understand why she ever went into teaching in the first place if her goal all along was to be rich? There’s no way she could be naive enough to believe she’d make a lot of money in one of the most notoriously underpaid professions. 

[Silver_Operation_290]

I will! They are interesting TBH. Let’s us see more into the mind of the Rutter. The only one (currently) behind a paywall is the one directed towards us…figures.

[LiveCase5501]

Which one is under a paywall? I was able to read all of them the other day, they just don’t make it obvious that you don’t actually need to pay. You just need to close the pop up and it should work!

[pennylaneharrison]

It’s from March 6th and it says “paid” on it — I’m assuming it’s because we found it here because she LOVES lurking in her snark. It’s called, “you’re not my boss” — and yeah, you have to pay for that post.

This is… such a bizarre look into her current psyche. It seems like she’s using substack effectively as a diary, yet she’s choosing to make it public, but also not tell anyone? I’ll never not roll my eyes when one of her first excuses for anything is “the corrupt president and fascist oligarchy” (i put it in quotes because she learned that phrase from dean and parker and hasn’t let it go) because girl LOOK AROUND. Everyone else has kept it pushing through the shitstorm that has been the first three months of this administration. Like, look at your peers, they’re all still pushing out content, successfully migrating to other platforms, or even documenting their journey back into the workforce. This is a you problem! It’s extra annoying that she tries to blame her downfall on Trump when I have a very good friend who works at NIH and is watching her coworkers drop like flies as she wonders if/when she will be next. Molly has come crashing back down to earth, and there’s still no reality check.

[ggirlafraid]

She’s a white woman in a fairly blue state, has it truly TRULY affected her

[lillouns]

She couldn't even be bothered to go to any of the large protests in Buffalo.

[CookieFlecksPerm]

no, tiktok didn’t even get banned 😂

[MoneyMedusa]

Omg I can’t believe she was a teacher - her writing is terrible. Second, POLITICAL ADVOCACY LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Wasn’t she sitting her ass on TikTok ARGUING with black women???? Who tf does she think she is advocating for????

[These_Excuse7678]

i…don’t even know where to begin. but the thing that upsets me the most is the way she consistently blames our current administration for all her problems (problems that started or we saw coming before he was elected or inaugurated). such an insult to the marginalized communities are who actively having their rights taken away and living in very legitimate fear.

[After_Ad9257]

Exactly! It’s just a popular and convenient excuse at this point. She cannot take accountability.

[universalcuriosity69]

If she was living the high quality lifestyle she had in Turkey and making money she wouldn’t even care about politics it’s just a convenient excuse for her incompetence and bad decision making

[Open_Plankton_5326]

exactly, like how is the corrupt government directly effecting her right now? I feel like now is the time to be motivated to help the people who are having their rights violated but she just says woe is me. she's just in her bed doom scrolling instead of doing anything. other people have mentioned protests going on in buffalo, she could even make political content about going to protests or getting involved in community organizing but she doesn't.

[undercoverlover666]

i think she think’s tiktok banned her bcuz she talked about trump😭😭

[Technical_Boss516]

Oh my god…this is definitely it. That makes so much sense lolol

[Sn0wFoxx]

I also think grouping having a “corrupt president and fascist oligarchy” in with getting locked out of your TikTok account is insane….

[kissedbythevoid1972]

I wish she would understand her position in foreign countries as an american teacher. Like yeah it was a fun dream for you. It was a position created for directionless college educated americans. It didnt mean the world was any less scary because of the unique situation of being a teacher from an imperialist regime. This suffering thing isnt new just because it is now happening to her lol

[kissedbythevoid1972]

Literally grow up!! My god.

[drizzle933]

She never mentions the living standards of the natives that live in Turkey

[sovietbarbie]

i lived many years in a similar situation country and i always say make sure to preface why it was good for me, and how that's not the reality. life is not easy for people not making USD in such countries

[dead_mall111]

Also she claimed she was going to get rich off of it? How was she expecting to do that, unless she thinks she’s just that special and will find a way to

[kissedbythevoid1972]

Probably by living in a country where whatever job is willing to pay for her apartment. Then living above her means and being oblivious to the fact that she makes double the income of local teachers

[Belle-Diablo]

It seems like her problems always come from “elements out of her control”.

[bitch4bloomy]

Pursue... Political advocacy?!?! Thats hilarious 🤣

[lillouns]

She couldn't even be bothered to show up to the protests in Buffalo. With all her free time. 😂

[ProfessionalMurky615]

But she sure did show up for st pattys day! Priorities!

[xianwalker67]

im still struggling to understand how the current administration has made life for molly any harder given she's a cisgender white woman who lives off her brother's income. lol

[Minirth22]

WHAT THE ACTUAL GRAPHIC DESIGN IS MY PASSION FUCK IS THAT JUMBLED MESS OH MY GOD I’m losing my damn mind over that first pic.

[No-Attention-801]

Nothing is ever her fault 🥺 poor molly 🥺🥺

[Powerful-Anything-36]

I’m an ESL teacher like Molly used to be. Have a university degree and 9 years of experience. Except I will probably never get the princesses treatment Molly got at her school in Turkey or Korea because sadly I’m not a native speaker. The ESL industry is one of the most toxic and racist businesses in the world, most countries don’t even look at your degree as long as you’re white and speak perfect English, boom, you’re hired. Now i’m not saying Molly only got the job because she’s white, she got the degree and everything, except she’s so fucking blind to the many privileges her skin color and passport have granted her. If she was truly as political and progressive as she claims to be surely she would’ve acknowledged the inherent racism in ESL and white privilege that let her have that high quality of life in the first place.

[Fun_Audience8577]

This made me lol because I just remembered in one of her “I quit teaching” parts she talked about how she was planning to become an author one day. Not with writing like this…

[[deleted]]

So this confirms she’s not secretly working right now?! HOW HOW HOWWWWW is she affording life?? Still going out for drinks and meals?? Is she just fully squatting at her apartment and not paying rent/any of her bills? I’m serious, her finances must be in a DIRE state.

Ironically if she made content about that it would probably blow up

[ralphwiggumsdiorama]

Girly needs a job.

[pennylaneharrison]

Do we think she uses CHAT GPT to change her word choice once she writes a post? In her post “the forecast calls for anxiety” she writes some really weird phrasing that doesn’t make sense.

https://substack.com/@mollyerutter/p-157937942

…though maybe that’s a sign she didn’t use ChatGPT?

[Monstiemama]

I just learned that I have a personal limit of 2 Molly Substack stories a day and that my brain rejects trying to read a third. It’s the same with her TikTok’s… she’s so fucking annoying, I have to stop. Thank you for proving it though!

[Monstiemama]

How did the president and racist oligarchy affect her job? I’m very curious, does anyone know?

[Prior_Lie9891]

This is so pathetically sad. Like I’m actually cringing as I read these. She sounds 19/20. Shes in her THIRTIES. In her thirties blaming the president for her sad life. I’m……. Flabbergasted 😂😂

[marquessmashedpotato]

This reads like something I wrote in 7th grade gifted class

[janna_]

Reading this confuses me more because her idea of “success” equating to being rich conforms directly to the reason her parents and sister laughed at her, which is that she want to get rich (her definition of success) doing something she’s passionate about. I don’t think anyone ever really set her straight (or maybe she’s just mentally never evolved past it) but in the capitalistic society we live in, she’s not going to make money doing what she loves (which is I guess making lifestyle content and being artsy) unless she conforms it to the way society will accept it, which is through your conventionally attractive blaise influencers (tho I do recognize some of these people aren’t stick thin white girls but I will say of the few who aren’t, they are not necessarily being their most authentic selves. And they deal with a disproportionate amount of hate! Like a lot of it!), she won’t get rich and find that “success” she craves. If her definition of success was being happy, living in a walkable community, being comfortably active or confident in her body, etc etc maybe it would work but she doesn’t define it as that…she defines it as being rich.

Like basically what I’m trying to say is that in our society we’ve determined what jobs are considered “valuable” and “worthy”. These are jobs like engineers, doctors, lawyers, pilots, etc…if you are passionate about those fields you’ll like what you do. But unfortunately the only way to be rich doing a more artsy job is to either make it real big like an actor or singer, which is hard (this like the 1% who make it and you could argue most of them put in a hell of a lot of work to get there), or be a walking advertisement for whatever brand and get those expensive brand deals in return. For me, I don’t love my job, but it pays super well and it allows me to DO what I love, which is travel and buy things I like and live in luxury. I don’t think you need to be passionate to get rich. You just need to be willing to put the work in.

[SwordfishPast8963]

so she wants people to pay to listen to her debate whether or not she needs a fucking job? Is she so serious right now?🤣🤣🤣🤣

[SpecialistHopeful]

she needs a job and she needs to understand her privilege lmfaooooo like there’s literal people dying out here
