@zatch_e@Mollyploofkins The old man should’ve respected that the world belongs to the bison as much as it does to him. Wild animals don’t exist for human enjoyment.
@Mollyploofkins I lived in Wyoming for 5 years and visited Yellowstone many times. The warnings are posted everywhere. At night, rangers drive through camps, warning people to be vigilant. We are visitors in their home. Yellowstone is not a petting zoo.
@sabrinatranwtch@TheJoeySwoll People can be nice to you and view you favorably, but you can’t change people’s thoughts and most people consider you a man, because you are a man and will be a man throughout your life, and when you die, they will find the skeleton of a man. Because you’re a man.
@hunniewasp@theTSupdates Infantalizing a billionaire 🤣
I’m a year younger than Taylor and also missed my last 2 yrs of high school to work to support my family after my dad died. Taylor was a wealthy mean girl who quit to become famous. I hold no trauma, so why would she? She just hates getting old.
Happy 250th birthday, America! We got you a present. 🇺🇸

Financial abuse in narcissistic dynamics isn’t usually one dramatic event — it’s most often a slow campaign of control that often escapes notice until someone’s already trapped. Sometimes it’s a single catastrophic theft, timed to make sure you have no ground left to stand on. Sometimes it’s both: the years-long control campaign AND the one moment that changes everything.
A few core patterns:
Access control. Restricting or monitoring the partner’s access to money — allowances, hidden accounts, demanding receipts, “we” language for shared money but “mine” for individual spending. The point isn’t budgeting, it’s dependency.
Sabotage of earning capacity. Undermining a partner’s job, discouraging education or career growth, forcing relocations, or creating chaos (custody fights, smear campaigns, constant crises) that makes holding steady employment nearly impossible. This is compulsive rather than calculated — it’s the same enmeshment and control drive showing up wherever there’s leverage, not a strategic plan.
Debt weaponization. Running up joint debt, coercing loans or co-signing, draining shared accounts before a separation, or leaving a partner responsible for debts incurred without their real consent.
Exploitation of resources. Living off a partner’s income while contributing nothing, or the inverse — extracting money from the partner under guilt, obligation, or fear.
Post-separation financial warfare. This is where it often escalates — dragging out divorce/custody proceedings to bleed legal fees, violating support orders, hiding assets, using litigation itself as an abuse tool since the legal system doesn’t move fast enough to stop it in real time.
The mechanism underneath all of it: money is one of the cleanest levers for control because it directly limits someone’s exit options. It’s not about greed in the ordinary sense — it’s about ensuring the other person can’t leave, can’t function independently, can’t rebuild credibility or a case against them. Financial precarity keeps the target inside the reach of the abuser’s narrative.
@AmiriKing Can’t hear because of the stupid music attached to the video, but if he was warned ahead of time to leave the premises I don’t think he did anything wrong. Drunk people can get deadly real quick.
