If I marry a billionaire he better be floating me financially. Jesus.

I remember Grimes saying something similar about self-financing her work when she was still with local man and having children with him. It was stupid to get with him in the first place and even more foolish that she didn't experience any financial stability.

I hated that Vanity Fair article. Like girl that is financial abuse can't you see it?

[irajaxon]

the articles released when she was promoting miss anthropocene were some of the saddest shit i've ever read. (she's fully bought into that weirdo proto-natalist eugenics bullshit now, but at the time those were released i still felt some empathy towards her, she could have still seen the light at that point.)

a billionaire who had two unwed women pregnant at the same time? he would be funding my every whim. my money is mine and his money is also mine.
