I was about to be irritated at a shitty "kids' education" website on 1770s clothing but then I learned that there's a staymaker buried at King's Chapel and now I'm just delighted to know the gravesite of a clothing worker from that era and I want to take him flowers

I WAS TODAY FUCKING YEARS OLD WHEN I LEARNED THAT THOMAS PAINE WAS A MASTER STAYMAKER?!?!

THE COMMON SENSE GUY. BASICALLY MADE BRAS. FOR LIKE 8 YEARS OF HIS LIFE COUNTING THE APPRENTICESHIP

okay SO. Just FYI i have an insider contact and i asked him about this new google drive nsfw scare.

"What I think has happened is that drive has made several updates to its spam/abuse filtering and one of the focuses is trying to catch spammers who share explicit things in docs with random emails. Which is good in theory, but has the potential to hit false positives."

his recommendation is to keep NSFW words out of your doc titles and instead of sharing the "open link", share directly with you beta's email addresses.

It is also more likely to flag up explicit images, though that is less likely to be a fic problem.

Okay so hear me out!!!!!! What if we were both in positions of responsibility that kept us from having an identity outside of those roles and maybe we became co-dependent about it in high school for a whirlwind almost relationship and then went our separate ways and got married and had families and never forgot about about each other and wondered what happened if we had actually kissed??? Haha jk, unless 👀

I just think that Miss “oh no I caught feelings while trying to be manipulative for my sect’s gain” SXY should have to deal with a very earnest older girl that just wants to feed her so that maybe she can get really Unwell about it.

can I interest you in some gay ancient roman matronae on this idea of march

Elegant!

He says that but he still cuddles them both.

you ever get a comment that makes you want to reread your fic ?? it’s like ‘dang u liked it that much?? lemme go look’

Q: Put a wreath on your character.

While we are on the subject - financial abuse is not always just physically taking money away or not having a savings account or escape stash. For a lot of people it is the other spouse sabotaging your credit score, constantly overspending, and you being unable to trust that joint household bills and loans are paid. Did you know that once you add an authorized user to your bank account it’s nearly impossible to remove them without their permission? Did you know that your spouse, who likely knows your birthday and SSN, can often gain access and reset passwords for any online accounts and create new ones?

Financial abuse will ruin your life and there’s really nothing except significant time that fixes it. If you are in a situation where you think this might happen to you you should freeze your credit with all three major agencies. You can find info on how to do this at USA.gov/credit-freeze

This is not something that only happens to tradwives. You are not exempt because you are independent or competent.

And for people who are out there right now needing to hear this for an "Aha" moment:

Sometimes financial abuse is also things that, on paper, sound totally reasonable until you realize they're always just enough to wipe your accounts and put you in 'barely livable pressure' levels of debt. And that they keep recurring like clockwork.

"I was taking a look at the sink and it's completely fucked and we have to replace it RIGHT NOW." And then six months later when you've managed to save up JUST enough to breathe again "We need a new water heater." And then they proceed to 'tinker' until they break it. And six months later when you've started to recover "There's something wrong with the well pump." that was replaced only a couple of years ago since this endless cycle never stops ... And so on and so on and so on.

Financial abuse will absolutely ruin your life. And once the spiral starts and you're stuck in forever-crisis it's very hard to think clearly enough to realize what's happening. And once you're in that state OTHER abusers will see you vulnerable and use that to their advantage too. And suddenly you're just whalefall to the dozens of assembled goblin sharks waiting for their bites.

Also—taxes. There's nothing quite like sitting down to do your return, and your partner gives you one or two (or several) 1099s for income you were unaware of, and for which they didn't make estimated payments, and now you're on the hook for a pile of unpaid taxes. One of my coworkers found out on April 14 that his partner had over $100,000 in investment income the prior year—all untaxed—and hadn't bothered to mention it, but had managed to spend all of it. Another of my friends had to deal with a situation in which her husband didn't have any taxes withheld from his paycheck for the entire year. There's not just the unpaid tax—there are also penalties for underpayment, and interest on the unpaid amounts. It adds up fast, even for a tax bill of just $100.

File for an extension to give yourself time to sort things out. Check into doing your return on a Married Filing Separately basis (that may or may not help, depending on the situation). You will need professional tax help, unless you are a tax preparer or CPA. If you can't afford to even think of contacting someone for professional help, contact your local library and ask for resources. Your librarians are there to help, and happy to do so.

If you're already in a tax mess, the IRS Taxpayer Advocate may be able to help in some situations: www.taxpayeradvocate.irs.gov

The IRS Innocent Spouse Relief program may also be of help if you receive a notice about a return already filed for which your spouse did not claim all of their income: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/innocent-spouse-relief

These are great additions!
