Maybe I'm being ableist but I just don't understand the years long self-pity wallowing.

This is where I have a lot of compassion for Art. I've only recently gotten out of an almost decade-long depression in which I couldn't do much of anything productive or useful. The biggest difference is that I was lucky enough to be financially stable and emotionally supported by a partner the whole time. "Burnout" is an annoying trend word right now, but shit can be real. Those little steps of finding happiness where it's possible are life-savers.

Everyone I know is constantly doing something - moving, going on vacation, buying and selling homes, getting married, getting divorced, having kids, kids moving out, bigger house, smaller house. 

I think you're right about the moving thing. Maybe it's easier to believe a potential stasis when you grow up in such a chaotic and unhealthy environment. But life never stops, for better or for worse, no matter what your income bracket.

My nephew was born with brown hair but it also had blonde highlights. It was a mix of two colors at birth. Which was just so weird on a newborn. But it was pretty. 

I had a friend who had two babies; both of them were born with a head full of dark hair.  But instead of the dark hair falling out and blonde growing in, the hair just kept growing but the new hair was blonde.  It was so weird to look at.

Art officially has 15 dollars in donations.

They also made a anti Taylor swift post. I'm not a swift but to hate her because you think she's a Neo nazi sympathizer billionaire is ridiculous, she's a a lot of things, this not being one of them in my opinion. 

Apparently even hard working self made women who earn there own money to become extremely wealthy don't deserve their acclaim either.

I don't get the Taylor Swift thing.  I went to the original post and someone was asking the same question and the person couldn't explain it.  White nationalists love(d) Taylor Swift but she isn't a white nationalist.  She briefly dated a guy who has said some questionable things but other than that, I don't get it.  I think the problem is that she is rich.  That's it.  They have to find some reason to hate her. 

She could have spent that $600 on the actual dentist visit to fix what is wrong with the teeth/ fillings.

But noooooooo Braggie would rather throw it away on Red Light Woo that won't fix the problem. (She really really loves her woo.)

If I were a truly awful terrible person, I wouldn't care if the mouth pain came back and Braggie ended up spending at the dentist 5X the $600 she wasted on the Red Light Woo.

Bless her heart.
