Does anyone else think it's upsetting that food is currently considered a luxury item?. That we are being told to just eat cereal and frozen dinners?. I'm feeling a type of way about it.

Recreated a grocery order I made during the first covid wave in 2020, exactly. Compared the price then vs. now. It went from $96 to $225, but my snap card gets the same budget it did in 2020, so pls make it make sense.

. do you not see that this system is working as designed?.Do you truly not understand?.
A law in Florida charges inmates $50 a day to stay in prison cells. Plunging them into lifelong debt. A woman who was sentenced to 7 years but only did 10 months still owes $127K and can’t work in her dream job even after graduating from college.

It took four years, but let it be known that the police murdered my friend, Linda @KillerMartinis. They shot her in the fucking eye, blinded her, and gave her a brain injury that ultimately wasn't survivable. Fuck the police. Fuck this fucking country.

I'm 30. I've been physically homeless 5+ times. As a late teen/early adult AFAB, my body and emotional health were the currencies expended with abusive partners; simply bc had I left them, it was back to houselessness. No one should be trapped. Housing is a human right.

My landlord installed ring cameras before we moved in, I didn't have a choice. Anyway, apparently ring has an app (it's been 6 mos and I've just bothered using it) with built-in neighborhood watch. It's exactly as racist and classist as you'd expect. Ugh.

Yale did a study where they tortured 18 month old autistic babies to "see if they feel fear the same way neurotypicals do". They scared them every 75-90 seconds w/ things like mechanical spiders, dinosaurs, strangers menacingly moving towards them, etc. I've been crying 4 days.
