🎃  Happy Halloween!  🎃

[autumnraiinn]

Waking up on a chilly autumn morning with the rain and leaves dancing on your bedroom window, while taking your first sip of coffee, is the best feeling ever.

some days you’re just the squashed nutrigrain bar that exists at the bottom of every purse or bookbag

You’re right no matter what I look like I’m still a snack and people are always grateful when they realize I’m there thank you for the inspiration post

anyway jeff bezos could eradicate homelessness. he could literally give each homeless person 100k and it would only take less than .5% of his entire wealth. what the actual god giving fuck

[the-prolefeed]

Why do you think they deserve it

[killin-the-machine]

Well shelter is a basic need, and would at the very least allow them a place where they can get back on their feet. Food water and shelter are necessary for a healthy body and psychology. There’s also the fact that they’re people too, and a little help goes a long way in making a decent community. There’s plenty of reasons

[the-prolefeed]

Yeah they need stuff, but why does every homeless person deserve 0.5% of someone’s income

You have five hundred apples, and just one day to eat them all. 

You pass by a small crowd of hungry children, and decide you’d rather 455 apples go rotten than give them to some snotty brat who isn’t your problem.

It doesn’t matter how hard you’ve worked for your 500 apples, or that you aren’t the parent of any of those kids. in the moment you decide to walk away, it doesn’t matter why they’re hungry, or who owes who what.

You had the opportunity to help people, you had the ability to help people, you had the resources to help people. You had everything you needed to make a small, tiny little difference in someone’s life, and you decided not to.

What are you going to buy in your lifetime that’s worth more to you than your own humanity?

Jumpin’ on that bandwagon.

I’m a little late to this party but...I’ve jumped on the apple cider vinegar bandwagon over here. Anyone else? I’ve read so many reasons why to try it so as I passed it in the grocery store last week, I picked some up. It’s not the yummiest thing, I’ll tell ya that!  Anyways - reasons I’ve decided to jump on this include:

- Every since I can remember, indigestion has been a part of my life. It’s annoying and if I’m being 100% real, I can’t say I’ve worked really hard to figure out what foods make it worse (my bad!). Drinking ACV with water prior to eating is said to help fight indigestion. - Adding a small amount is said to help increase energy. The story goes that every since I was a wittle baby, I’ve loved sleeping. I was one of those babies that slept through the night fairly early in life. That being said, I’m a huge fan of naps...but not everyday is appropriate for a nap. So anything that says it will boost my energy levels is a + in my book!  - ACV is said to whiten your teeth! And for anyone who loves coffee as much as I do knows that it takes some maintenance to keep those pearly whites as pearly as possible.  - ACV helps to control your appetite, thereby aiding in weight loss! Although this wasn’t my no.1 reason for including it in my daily routines, it’s definitely an added bonus.  There are many other benefits too! I’ll do a little update in about a month and see if I notice any difference! Has anyone included this and noticed any health improvements?
