This is Lily. 4 months ago, she wandered up to our house as a stray. She had cuts all over and was very skittish. She was tiny, probably about 6 months old. We called our local vet and walked around our neighborhood to find her owners. No one claimed her. We live in an area where there are people who steal dogs like her for fighting, so we decided to take her in. She’s a cute little brindle pitbull puppy. At first, we thought about keeping her, but we already had two big dogs of our own. We work and travel a lot, so we knew we couldn’t keep her. We decided to foster her and help her find a home. We were unable to take her to the vet and give her the attention & love she needed. She’s such a good girl. We taught her so much while she was with us. She knows sit, down, shake, & spin. She’s kennel trained and almost housebroken. She won’t potty in the house if you remember to take her out often.

We tried so hard to find her a good home, but we failed.. Yesterday, we took her to our local no kill shelter. We had an appointment with them a month prior. My heart hurts, and i felt so guilty dropping her off. She is beautiful and deserves to be in a good home. We didn’t know how hard it was to let her go until they walked away with her. I wish we could’ve kept her. I’m scared she will forget everything she learned if she’s in there too long, but I know the shelter will be giving her all the treatments she needs and will be actively looking for her a forever home since they have a large follower base.

Hoping🙏 she will get adopted asap. 💔 please help share!

She is at Southern Pines Animal Shelter!

It is $100 to adopt her, but please understand that the fee includes spaying her, worming, heartworm testing, routine vaccinations, microchipping, & 30 days pet heath insurance! This is hundreds of dollars worth of medical services. They are a nonprofit organization.

▫️friendly w/ every dog, big or small

▫️knows her name

Rare Photos of Black Rosie the Riveters

During World War II, 600,000 African-American women entered the wartime workforce. Previously, black women’s work in the United States was largely limited to domestic service and agricultural work, and wartime industries meant new and better-paying opportunities – if they made it through the hiring process, that is. White women were the targets of the U.S. government’s propaganda efforts, as embodied in the lasting and lauded image of Rosie the Riveter.Though largely ignored in America’s popular history of World War II, black women’s important contributions in World War II factories, which weren’t always so welcoming, are stunningly captured in these comparably rare snapshots of black Rosie the Riveters.

Minimum wage: $7.25

$7.25 x 40 hour full time work week: $290

$290 x 4 weeks per month: $1,160

In every Southern state (didn’t have time to look at the rest of the country) you can find some sort of studio apartment for around $500 per month, sometimes less than that. Why bother lying about something so easily disproven?

[fartsandprayers]

Things like this really tick me off and It’s not political or anything but it’s the fact that you think all that money is there. Here’s what I mean;

That weekly check comes to, according to you, 290. Most places DO NOT pay for your half hour lunch that is required by law. So your beginning number was wrong. $7.25 x 7.5 hours a day x 5 days a week only gets you $271.88.  Most people in America get paid bi-weekly, so let’s double it to get the budget. $543.75. That’s GROSS, not NET. Out of that comes anywhere between 10% and 15% taxes depending on state so we’ll low ball it at 10%. Automatically down to $489.38 a pay check. Now health insurance. Usually anywhere from 70-100 a pay check for the cheapest plans. Again, we’ll low ball and go $70. So now we have $419.39 a paycheck. x 2  = $839. 

Eight hundred thirty nine dollars. A MONTH.

But again, you seem to think that’s fair. So let’s proceed. You say rent is $500? Okay. This person now has $339 left to buy groceries for the whole month, pay utilities, car payment, car insurance, and gas money to get to work. 

Those are the bare needs. You have to eat. You have to pay for heat, water, garbage removal, gas and or electricity because apartments do not always include things and rarely all of the above. Most cities in America do not have public transportation. Mine doesn’t despite the fact that our population is over 15,000 people, not counting a taxi. If you have a car, you have to pay that. If you have a car, legally you have to have car insurance. You have to pay that. You have to have gas in that car to get to work to make that money.

Now if you can tell me you can get all of that out of $339 you’re lying.

You are so focused on rent that you aren’t thinking about everything else people have to pay for. Rent was an example. This is a breakdown of the budget you gave me and it’s not possible to live off that in 2017 America. 

And BECAUSE this person makes over $800 a month, they probably won’t qualify for financial aid or food stamps. $800 is the line in my state where they won’t help you. No food stamps, financial aid, or government housing if you make more than $800 a month. 

Why does it bother you that people deserve to live above the poverty line?
