The few of us awake appreciate your antics.

The cost of living in most countries is around $500 USD a month for transportation, rent, utilities and food, teaching English pays $2000 USD a month with zero qualifications or experience.

every month I taught English, I had a few exrra months of my cost of living.

I taught English for about 7 years.

as long as you’re making more than 500 USD a month remotely in any job, you can travel long-term.

if you want to backpack, CoL shoots down to $200 a month real quick.

i mean the internet, or screens in general, although social media can be particularly aggravating.

i started traveling when i felt like something was wrong with the way i was living and then did not stop traveling.

I’m living how i want to now, and the world is beautiful.

I’ll also say that not using the internet, even for a couple days, is incredibly relaxing, like letting out a held breath.

i copy pasted the English language comic onto the info for you:

kelsiebru on IG?

i see this:

A classroom assistant at the school i worked at. very hard-working, curious and funny guy who likes to learn things all the time, so we exchanged Chinese and English and hung out all the time for barbecue and hotpot and all that good stuff.

still friends more than a decade later even though I travel a lot; we got to meet up a few times when I visited Beijing last year and we still talk occasionally on wechat.

I was literally in the middle of thinking about community groups when I came across your post, I think a lot of people would use this feature.

i find this very satisfying: gently disagreeing with them via a short single positive message like “gay people do deserve respect”, then letting them throw a very lengthy, time-invested tantrum before gently and completely disagreeing with their comment with another short sentence, over and over until they get tired.

i find that both very funny and I’m putting out positive messages that negate their bigotry without too much time or effort.

that’s just if you have the time and inclination to engage, you aren’t morally obligated to subject yourself to abusive behavior.

if it’s real bad, they’re probably violating a rule, and reporting them will get them banned

hated that work culture so i left as soon as the opportunity presented itself.

went to teach ESL. half the hours for better pay

i travel constantly, and every time I’m flying in a plane i am re-amazed.

i think about how easy and quick it is to fly anywhere in the world and I’m sitting in a bit metal tube floating in the air.

it’s bananas.

Kino’s Journey(2003) - great fix for philosophy and drifty, travel vibes.

I make my own DIY huaraches like this:

extremely comfortable, you can make it with any old slipper lying around and some paracord, lasts for 6 months to a year, depending on the quality of the sandal base.

adjust it to exactly your size that fits perfectly and then you can sew the knots so that all the dimensions stay the same.

takes me maybe 5 minutes to make each pair, and then 5 minutes for the sewing of the knots so I never have to readjust them, costs nearly nothing.

sorry about the aliens.

These are the plunderers: how private equity runs and wrecks America by Gretchen Morgenstern.

yes, because it is fun, and we don’t have to make it different just to be different.

Thank you, it was hide read posts.

Haha, OH MY GOSH thank you I’ve been trying to figure it out for…way too long.

thank you so much.
