Sarah's tumblr (sometimes grumblr)

katherinestasaph asked: Maybe? But I also feel like when you're in middle school, you might not be able to do that but you're also not responsible for your financial well-being*. Like, right now, at any time I could totally tell off everyone, but it'd also mean I could basically kiss my entire career, and thus my ability to pay rent and stuff*, goodbye. *(insert all caveats about privilege here and here)

That is a really really good point. Also—now “in real life” alienating people who are irritatingly adept social/professional climbers also means not only can they fuck you over in terms of where you sit in the cafeteria, but they can damage your career permanently.

Bummer.
