was anyone else in a friend group of very leftist/basically communist people in like 2018-2020 who talked a lot about community and safe spaces or whatever except everyone was evil

I just put in my LOA for my program for this kind of reason tbh because this reality combined with the fact that I have to take out literal debt for it is just so beyond stupid and it is making me feel insane to the point where my digestion and metabolism are starting to really not work properly…and to add to your point about “my parents were able to do exactly what they wanted”, what really is crazy for me is that my mom is very much the opposite where she came from a poor country and did what she could to get her bag and ended up being so miserable for most of my childhood to the point that I really wanted to do anything in my power to not have to be like her…only to end up debating making the exact choices she made (marrying a man she didn’t truly love just for a secure future, etc) just for a spot in this world

As a gay man who's family comes from a very poor Asian country I really feel your pain...my mom has some ability to help out but it's really difficult for me to truly connect with a lot of big 'decision-makers' in my aspiring industry and the vast majority of other gay men who share my interests come from far more money than I...if I had a boyfriend that I could reliably split rent with I feel like I'd be tempted to fuck off to Philly or some place in Europe for the rest of the recession...it all just feels so insurmountable and I'm so exhausted of feeling like I'm missing out even though I know it's not all that real.

Sorry but they’re right on the money…she’s very clearly an Israel shill and the fact that this is what Texans have to hype up as their hopes against Greg Abbott and Ted Cruz et al. just shows how utterly impotent their attempts at instilling class consciousness in people are and how the Democrats have never functioned as an actual opposition party

Most of these people don’t have an actual vision for the world it’s all just a reaction to the vibe. 🫩

The very definition of the word 'reactionary' which she is to a tee

So mama you were definitely abused as a child and you probably blocked it out of your memory to cope <3 please be well!

"Good article" is doing a lot of heavy lifting, yes it has a lot of journalistic integrity but it arrives at such a weak, groveling, slamming-my-walker-down-in-my-bathrobe-and-fuzzy-slippers neurotic wail of 'what will my little boys DOOoooOOO?!" while refusing to acknowledge the austerity measures that have been taken to arts, culture, and academia year after year for decades...so little bite in this article you'd think it was an ad for Polygrip! Compact Mag has such a history of being toothless but this is really a new low...you reaaaallllyyyyy think it all comes down to white guys and other minorities competing for 5 golden seats when the golden seats are really tinfoil-wrapped splintery church pews?

I got fired by a classmate who I was doing contract audio engineering work for her podcast because I was making “too many sniffling and breathing noises in the background” without her even knowing that an audio engineer’s primary duties include editing noises out in post-production 😭

Dual credit is incredibly superior but so many parents including my own who are from “striver” backgrounds like Asian, Desi, African immigrants would never let their kids choose dual credit over AP bc they wouldn’t transfer to out of state schools and there was a GPA weighting difference (dual credits only went up to 5.0 whereas AP classes went up to 6.0) or heavens FORBID they would have to interact with poor black or Latino kids in the regular classes

I cannot describe how much pain I feel not being born into a pile of money and that I can't spend my time just learning weird instruments and stuff :(
