It’s interesting to me that we frame a lot of issues as costing money.
Unhoused folk cost money to house.
Disabled folk cost money, too.
Immigrants cost money.
Trans folk cost money.
Nobody ever says, “Hey, how much does Jeff Bezos cost?” “How much does it cost us to have Elon Musk around, hoarding his money?” “What’s it costing us to have all these fabulously wealthy people?”
It’s costing us a lot more than we ever talk about. Not just because their hoarding of wealth takes that money out of circulation and contributes directly to poverty and the spiralling cost to human beings everywhere.
Also because things are being framed in this way, because we are being forced to think of ourselves and others in terms of cartoon dollar symbols.
That is not a natural state of affairs for humans, it is not something that is morally defensible, and it is something that eats away at each of us in different ways depending on our position vis à vis wealth.
You are never too expensive to deserve to live.
The GOP is the party of child abuse.
In just one six-week period, some 2,000 children were separated from their families, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Thousands are being held in makeshift shelters. The U.N. human rights chief called the policy “government-sanctioned child abuse.”

And that’s tea
So I’m a phlebotomist. And sometimes, I work at a site that is directly adjacent to an endocrinologist. Which means I see and take blood from a lot of folks that are trans, or nonbinary, or gender nonconforming.
Do you have any fucking idea how easy it is, in customer-service speak, to respect someone’s gender?
I mean, I’ve had super awkward situations where I have to say things like ‘I’m sorry, that name isn’t coming up in our system. Is there another name…“ And without fail they provide their deadname and I plug it in and I say ‘Ok, that came up, do you want me to fix that in our system?” And they say ‘Yes’ and then I ADD IT AS A SYNOMYMOUS NAME. Same as I would for someone recently married or divorced. The end.
I have never experienced a situation in which I have felt motivated to ask someone’s pronouns.
I have had situations in which I have thought to myself ‘I have no idea if this person is ‘sir’ or ‘ma'am’ and instead have gone ‘Next patient please?’ or ‘I can help who’s next’ or ‘I can help you now’ while looking directly at them.
I have had situations where I’ve gone ‘I’m like 90% certain that I’ve been given a record with this person’s deadname because this name does not match at all the gender presentation of the person I’m looking at’ And I say ‘Ok, can you spell your last name for me? Ok, spell your first name? And your date of birth?’
and then I quietly write ‘preferred name [the name they just spelled] on the top of thier record.
THIS IS NOT HARD.
And if this is not hard for me, as a person working in medicine who has to make certain that the person I’m talking to is the same person on the medical record that I’m looking up, how much easier must it be for, say, a barista who doesn’t give half a fuck who you are? I’ve BEEN a barista in the past. If a Barista is asking your pronouns, that person is an asshole.

Listen, no matter what your fave youtuber/”health guru” says, the following things are absolute bullshit:
Juice cleanses do not do anything health-wise! Except probably lead to you getting insufficient calories for the duration! There is nothing to “cleanse”, because…
Your body does not have a “build up of toxins” you can detox away. Either your liver and kidneys are sorting shit out, or you’re experiencing severe health problems and should see a doctor. In particular, the idea you have a build up of heavy metal in your cells is ABSURD. Trust me. You’d know. “Toxins” is a word with no legal definition which is therefore not monitored in advertising. It means nothing.
Detox/weight loss teas are just mild laxatives. I wish people would stop advertising these things. I know we’re all broke and want that sponsership, but they’re not good things.
Something being vegan, gluten-free, “all natural”, etc. does not mean it cannot be bad for you. It does not necessarily mean it is better for you. It just means… it is those things.
If you ingest more of a nutrient than your body needs, the rest is wasted. It isn’t used by the body. Unless you have a vitamin deficiency, taking supplements is useless. And expensive.
Oh, and for the record, it’s not dangerous but you don’t need “eight glasses of water a day”. A lot of water comes from the food you eat. Also, any liquid that isn’t as strong a diuretic as, say, alcohol? Works to hydrate you. I mean, staying hydrated is good, but the eight glasses a day thing isn’t true. Just drink when you need water.
#this is all true#plus the tea thing is important#because being on laxatives for that long can actually give you bowel cancer#for serious yep if you wanna drink tea and be healthy just find a type of nice green/herbal tea you like and brew it properly
Once a boy looked very sadly at me after a little bit of conversation. ‘you’re so smart’ he said, ‘I feel like I couldn’t keep up’. And then he did that sad boy face where you’re supposed to agree to tone yourself down. So I said ‘probably’ and fucked his mate.
some top advice from a slut, here, 90% of the time when some boy looks sad and tells you you’re too ‘x’ to keep up with it’s a ploy to get you to cut bits off yourself so you can come down to his mediocre level; instead, agree with him and fuck his mate
I am a slut Wen on a dayte With Boye who would Manipulate I’m not sway’d by His saddened state- I say okay I fuck his mayte

I look awful.
Just a little taste of what’s going on at my workplace right now. We have been fighting for a raise because a lot of people who work at Disney have to work 60+ hours a week just to get by. What was their response? “Ok, everyone gets a bonus. $1000. But not all at once. $500 now and $500 at the end of the year.” (in case some people get fired or quit, so they don’t have to pay the full amount to those people). Of course, we were like “No, that’s not what we said we wanted. We want a PERMANENT RAISE.” So Disney was like OK, fine, whoever is NOT part of the union fighting for a raise gets the $1000 bonus :) Meanwhile, we are still fighting for a raise…
The company I work for sells aluminum and aluminum mixed metals. I want everyone to understand that running a business is expensive and the reason why raises don’t happen is because management holds onto money to keep the business running. Equipment repair is expensive because parts have to be made. If you’re needing to work over 60 hrs to make ends meet, you need to move where it’s cheaper to live or get a job where it’s cheaper to live. Stop thinking that there’s all this money pouring in that the CEO and leading personnel are hoarding and paying the minimum to it’s employees. If you think I’m wrong, do some digging and pry about company expenses and the revenue from parks.
Ok, but here’s the thing: Disney keep raising it’s prices. On literally everything. Park tickets, resort stays, merchandise, parking, meal plans, and they are even going to start charging for people to have their cars parked at the resorts.
Not to mention, they obviously have money to throw around with all these expansions going on. They keep remodeling and renewing things that were fine before. This costs millions and millions of dollars.
If every Cast Member at Walt Disney World received a raise, it would still only be a fraction of the price that Disney is dishing out on all these renovations and expansions.
No cast member should be forced to work 60+ hours a week just to survive when they work for one of the wealthiest corporations in the world.
if you can’t afford to pay your workers a living wage, you can’t afford to run a business. you don’t have a right to be a boss. that is not a thing you are entitled to. if you fail, you fail. get over it.
reading this just reminds me that someone who worked at disney died homeless in their car
Her name was Yeweinishet “Weini” Mesfin & you can read about her here
But arson is illegal. She was arrested because she committed a crime
an attorney literally said to what you have mentioned, “under this logic every cigarette in public is “arson” that is NOT how this works. THAT is NOT Arson
ARSON: arson is defined as the malicious burning of the dwelling of another. Please note that the definitions of “dwelling” and “of another” are the same as they are in the context of burglary. In order to be convicted of arson, a defendant must have actually caused some damage to a dwelling, using fire.
Lighting a cigarette is not the same as setting a flag on fire in a populated area. She was convicted of attempted arson & reckless endangerment of others. She was in the wrong
She was absolutely NOT “convicted” of anything she was arrested for the above, in which case the DA will facepalm and throw out the “arson” since arson literally is defined as “intentionally setting fire with the intent to cause damage and having cause damage” A flag is absolutely NOT a structure. She will be pleabargened with public disturbance.
watching haw many fucking 19 year old bootlicker idiots on hear scream arson, makes me have 0 confidence in the LGBTQ community as having staying power to overcome this administration…
Burning flags is protected under the 1st Amendment as political speech, flat out. The police violated her first amendment rights by jailing her for expressing a political opinion that is explicitly protected though legal precedent because they didn’t like being mocked.
Where are all the Status Quo Warriors that scream about Freeze Peach when a Nazi gets punched? Not here when this is literally the state trying to silence dissidence.
people are really getting heated about the “synthetic materials” shit as if American flags don’t get burnt all the time, are really concentrated on the act of flag burning so singularly that they are unable to even consider the symbolic irony of their defense of police over a transmisogynist arrest.
cop boots are ugly as fuck, if you wanna lick a boot find a leather daddy.
No one has mentioned it so I will, after they arrested this trans woman, they put her in a men’s prison before she was released. Since then, the arson charges have been dropped, as well as the bullshit charge of trying to start a catastrophe. Literally these cops saw her trying to light a Blue Lives Matter flag and charged her with everything they could possibly think of. The DA threw them out because they knew it was complete and utter bullshit. THIS is why cops have no place at Pride.
^^^^ That Right there is the point!
People burn flags all the time. people don’t get accused of arson or chemical warfare like all the bootlickers are accusing this girl of.
when I say I want sapphic bodice rippers, I don’t just mean queer lady romance novels in general
no I want a total Regency trash fire with literal bodices being literally ripped
it’s 1810 and gay marriage is legal but that’s never explained, and a spirited young lass who only wants to be an artist despite her social cimbing family has massive sexual tension with the cold and closed-off Lady Fancypants until they wind up doing it in the hayloft
the title is To Wed A Wild Duchess and at least one character involved is Scottish
