my conservative belief is that announcing your charity publicly is gauche but at the same time I get the impulse to vilify people who are worth billions who donate the equivalent of a buck fifty to a cause

lol I got a sponsored tweet by some financial advice blog that said something like "tips that millionaires follow that few others do" and it had a picture of a wooden box with a bunch of rolled up $20s in it
so now I assume millionaires all have one crappy wooden cigar box full of rolled twenties in their home somewhere

Tip #1: pay sex workers in cash.
― Yerac, Monday, 6 April 2020 20:08 (four years ago) link
btw the reason why this irks me is because rich people are some of the most sensitive people on the planet and you know there are people like oh, I don't know, Tom Brady who say to themselves things like oh I wish I could donate but the media would be so unfair to me :(

i usually give anonymously for that same reason, to avoid the media coverage

i treat my employees terribly by paying them the minimal amount + minimal benefits allowed by law so when I do donate it's a more pleasurable surprise for everyone.

depends on the sex worker tbh. Having verifiable income (even venmo is better than cash in this regard) can help said sex worker do normal person things like, get a credit card, obtain a mortgage or car loan ... obviously you would not want to put "for hand job" in the note field of the transaction.

Re tattoos i feel like i never understood the appeal until recently - they don’t have anything to do with the art itself - it’s just that permanent pain / scratch marks on your body are a sex / death drive stand in. or like flopson said they’re kind of sexy. I’ll probably get some bad tattoos in the next few years. I want a raven.

I'm confused about cop or grip having melanin or educational limits.
Yassssss is a sign of pure dementia for anyone but actual drag queens. And I don't believe that because I disapprove of "cultural appropriation" or anything like that. It just sounds like a bloated exhalation.

This is one of those words where the directionality matters - it really depends on *who* is saying it.
"Karen" was invented by Black women to describe a very specific raced and gendered dynamic, where white women invoke white privilege over Black women, e.g. "demanding to speak to the manager, because they do not believe that a Black woman has authority". In these circumstances, it is not sexist, it is a useful tool describing a common power dynamic.
As soon as other people (most often cis white men) started using the term, it just became generalised to mean "any uppity white woman aspiring to authority that would go unnoticed in a white man". In this usage, yes, it is sexist, in fact it's not only sexist, but it's used by white men to point fingers at white privilege being something ~white women do~ to obscure their own white privilege.
It's complicated, but tl;dr - cis white men ruin everything.
