I Once Legitimately Thought A White Student Was Interested In My Culture When He Asked Me What My Korean

I once legitimately thought a white student was interested in my culture when he asked me what my Korean name was, then he proceeded to loudly ridicule me saying that my name, Ah-Reum, sounded like “Scooby Doo on drugs” and got the entire bus to start laughing at me. I was so upset, I started going by my Americanized name, Jaymie, for the rest of my youth.

Now that I’m an adult, I’ve proudly reclaimed my Korean birth name and don’t give a shit what whites think it sounds like- But this is really important for non-PoC to be more aware of. You can’t just decide to adopt a non-white name because it’s the new popular thing du jour/you ‘just really like K-pop’ or some shit.

it’s like 4 am and I’m tired as hell but if ur a white person who only goes by Japanese names or other obviously Not White names all for the sake of “protecting your privacy” or some shit that’s fucking stupid you have plenty of whitey names to choose from to be your fake name so shut the fuck up kyle ur just stupid and racist

whities are encouraged to rb if any of ur white friends pull this kinda shit it’s not like. Cool lmao

Minimum Wage should be indexed to 2% of a city’s median rent.

And here’s why:

Housing costs are the single biggest financial burden facing Americans today.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development define being cost-burdened as spending more than a third of your income on rent. By that definition, over half of the households in this country are cost-burdened. Source

If we want people to be able to afford to live in cities and not get priced out, we have to make a two pronged approach. One is to build houses towards all incomes and price ranges, not just luxury condos. And the other is a robust wage floor so people can actually afford to live.

Fight for 15 is doing an amazing job and I love them, but we have to realize that is quite a few places, $15/hr still isn’t enough to live on.

Which is where the 2% comes in. It allows a minimum wage that is flexible with regards to the costs of living.

And it wasn’t plucked out of thin air either:

Rent should be a third of a persons income, or to restate the equation: income should be three times a person’s rent.

And since a full time job is 8 hrs a day / 40 hrs a week / 160 hrs a month.

So when you do the math, the ideal hourly minimum wage as a percentage of rent works out to around 1.875%, which for ease of calculation is 2%.

Okay, this never happens. I just sat down for a solid 3 and a half hours and wrote a fic from start to end in a draft format that closely resembles mid-draft as opposed to first draft. My concentration never wavered.

I’m afraid

I can’t stop watching Kakegurui, it’s taking over my entire life

I think it is brave and also very sexy of me to continue living
