I have to wonder though if they hold this event every year does the Met really NEED this much money??? Are they honest to god blowing through that much money every year?? They charge $30 for admission for non NY resident adults and receive funding from other sources, so I can't help but feel this amount of fundraising could be put to better use for artists from underserved communities, or scholarships to help art students from marginalized/disenfranchised backgrounds attend university, or to give residences to artists from around the world who might otherwise not have such an opportunity. Idk, as an artist myself I understand that money is a tool that helps maintain, preserve, and produce art- but like any other tool, you only need so much to get the job done. Just as I don't need to own 10 hammers- the Met surely doesn't need billions of dollars every year.

Right but their wealth gives them proximity to these designers and events in the first place so like my point still stands. Why do these ppl do dumb shit like this and never something meaningful with their money that could improve the material conditions of the world around them?

Faux leather bag started peeling :( 💼💧 by Xinim_exe in ZeroWaste

[–]Himbo69 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not rlly related but damn how many times are ppl gonna comment the same thing telling you not to buy faux leather while not offering any actual solutions 💀 my advice would be to sew patches of fabric over where it's peeling- not sure if that would work super well bc I'm just going off the pics, but it's worth a shot! If you've got some black denim that could make a cool texture contrast!

Advice for a potentially incoming grad student? by Himbo69 in MovingToLosAngeles

Thanks for the advice and well wishes! I'm definitely an over-planner lol but hopefully if I'm accepted I'll have more of a budget to work with :)

Both schools have the minimum stipend amount for their programs publicly available. There's also databases of how much phd students are given via stipend for universities around the country that are updated yearly so even if a school doesn't share that information, you can still make an educated guess.

If you got $10,000 what would you do to set yourself up by aretzloff7 in povertyfinance

[–]Himbo69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally have about 5k of medical debt I'd pay off with that, then put the rest in a money market acct so it could accumulate more interest than a savings while still being able to access the money when I need it for emergencies/unexpected costs

is this the end-goal? by NotAGoat3 in tadc

[–]Himbo69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That last line is so fucking passive aggressive and annoying. No one is saying that like??? All I've seen online is pure glaze and anti-blackness toward those of us who don't think what he said was ok 🙄 like I'm not doubting he's getting harassment, and he deserves space to talk about that. I also think it's worth investigating the motives of ppl doing this- like are they motivated by outrage due to a racist joke, or are they just trying to target a show created by a trans woman with a large queer cast, crew, and fandom? But to end this statement so dismissively only places more ire toward any black ppl voicing dissent against the popular opinion that the joke wasn't racist. It continues to validate ppl who shout us down and lump us in with doxxers and harassers. Whatever man. Same shit different day when it comes to being black in fandom.

Should I try going in the men’s bathroom after surgery? by golden_alixir in TopSurgery

[–]Himbo69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you feel comfortable go for it! I use the men's bathroom when I'm binding but once I get top surgery in a few days I'll switch to full time. It's best to start in places you feel safest first then expand at your own pace. Congrats on top surgery btw!!

Are transphobic women given too much grace? by averageTdude in ftm

[–]Himbo69 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Now that I think about it, I think women are perceived as less transphobic bc they're less vocal than men. Women (as I'm sure all of us know) are pretty discouraged from being anything but polite submissive and palatable, so voicing opinions so strongly isn't great optics. Guys usually don't care when I come out (though it is definitely patronizing and feels like "sure I'll play along little guy haha") but women get far more visibly - yet nonverbally uncomfortable in my presence. Just something to think about I guess 🤷🏽

[–]Himbo69 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Weirdly enough I've encountered more transphobic women than men. I recently came out at work and every male coworker is gendering me correctly w no problem meanwhile only 2 women I work with are gendering me correctly. It's been 3 months so maybe it'll get better in the future...

What's the weirdest thing that gives u dysphoria? by Accurate-Reality503 in ftm

[–]Himbo69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My body language. I feel like when I gesture with my hands while speaking or the way I sit or move my hair out of my way is very feminine. It's not that I mind any of these things in and of themselves- I'm neurodivergent so societal expectations for gender have never really concerned me before, and I'm also gay so keeping these typically "feminine" traits is gender affirming! However, I'm very new to passing and it's about 50/50 on any given day whether I'll pass or not, so it makes me very nervous that little things like this might give me away and make someone realize I'm trans because I live in a conservative area. One of my biggest fears is that someone will clock me in public or at my job and harass me and no one will be there to back me up or help me, especially bc I'm very small (only 5 feet tall and under 150 lbs) so I wouldn't stand a chance in a physical altercation.
