it's the same response i get when i talk about gender and sex stuff too. "oh, thank fuck someone is talking about this." that's the good stuff it's an unfortunate fact about twitter that to reach these people i also have to reach people who will not be helped at all

ideally the tweets would somehow only be shown to people it would help and not people who are like trying to get money for medical bills or whatever and just absolutely don't need to hear about my problems. that's not how twitter works tho ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

probably i wouldn't be getting ratio'd right now if i'd said "a lot of money" instead of $100k but the specific amount was important to the story imo. it was an obscene amount of money and that's why it was paralyzing

like i didn't get into this in the thread but the $100k trivialized my attempts at making money by comparison. i've made on the order of a few thousand dollars tutoring and coaching which is the work i'm most proud of. that is *two orders of magnitude* less. fucking nuts

I can relate to this part for sure… I have worked more in the past few months than any other time in my entire adult life, raised prices, it’s growing. Husband still out-earns me literally 6x or more

it's actually getting worse bc if you're "not working" at all then of course someone else is supporting you. but we're inching closer to "2 working adults" which *feels* closer to "one of these ppl works effectively and the other is trying but not getting as good results"

this stuff doesn't keep me up at night in part bc spousal relationship is different threat/complication to independence than parental one but I may leave well enough alone, thinking now again
