IMO the weird exception some supposed leftists seem to make for condemning-the-theft-of-labor-except-art-lol-steal-that-shit is just a weird intersection with puritan "if you enjoy yourself, it's not a real job" brainworms.
"fun" job = member of the leisure class (ROFL) = fair game. Somehow.

Honestly, people calling creators the "petite bourgeoisie" makes me want to snap.
We're working folk. And we work really hard. For next to nothing.
We're not lounging around eating bonbons. We're trying to figure out how we're going to be able to pay rent next month.

please help my dear mar 🥺🥺 she needs this root canal before it becomes an even more serious problem
I have a root canal scheduled for tomorrow that I desperately need. There are a lot of people who are hurting right now and I can push it back if need be but if I can get a little bit of traction on this today I might be able to get it taken care of. Please post 🖤 and thank you loves
Hi y'all I very prematurely closed my old gfm and I've started a new one. Things are quite dire and it's looking like I'm going to need to hire a lawyer which I can't afford. Your help would mean the world to me truly.
