There isn’t a single THING that can replace a NEED. But a NEED can carry you through times when you can’t get THINGS.

i truly don't know what else to say.

this woman went through hell and is still going through it, because his ego cannot handle being told off. fuck this man.

i'm done throwing around words like allegedly and apparently and supposedly or reportedly to preserve the possibility of him being innocent.

the more we find out, the more this unravels; every single sign is pointing to the fact that he's guilty. if you ever even remotely protected or defended this man please never ever interact with me.

People who were spoiled as children (or are spoiled children) are usually depicted as unpleasant monsters who insist on getting their way always, and for sure they exist but I’ve also met a lot of spoiled people, children or adults, who were super nice and generous because they were brought up with the knowledge that if they let someone else have something or give away one of their possessions they’d just get another one and that carries over into adulthood where they might not get another one but they still don’t feel the same attachment to material things.

So in my experience whether spoiled people are unpleasant have more to do with the values instilled in them by their parents as well as their general personality. I know one boy who won’t give anyone anything despite his parents giving him everything he wants and another who will hand you his entire birthday cake if you ask because he trusts that you’ll share it with him and if not his mom will get him another.

So nice spoiled people in fiction like Carlotte from Princess and The Frog aren’t unrealistic but they are probably a lot less satisfying for a lot of people.

"Some jobs shouldn't pay a living wage." is literally a belief that people have.

That belief is both completely devoid of compassion and completely out of touch with reality, which are patterns that mentally ill people are often accused of.

But it's not a belief that mentally ill people have. People who openly state that belief are not seen as unhinged or insane. They're seen as normal. They're able to proudly state that belief with no fear of consequences. They're able to easily find people who agree. In fact, those who correct them are often the ones accused of being unhinged or insane.

Anything you accuse mentally ill people of, there are countless examples of neurotypical people having the exact same patterns.

Follow the [fascist] money.

Tax cuts, abortion bans, and deregulation make things worse.

MSNBC host Joy Reid went a step further than her guests Wednesday, suggesting that the Supreme Court’s elderly conservative justices may be slow-walking Donald Trump’s immunity arguments because they want to retire under a second Trump Administration.

RIP Ramona Fradon. One of the all-time greats!

The murder of Philando Castile is proof that cops can intentionally give unclear orders, kill those who misinterpret, all while knowing they're on camera, confident that they will face no consequences.

And people still think that good cops exist. People still think that society is safer with cops.

A lot of racists, when they hear about black people receiving reparations, respond with "Does that mean these other groups of people deserve reparations too?"

Yes. They do deserve reparations. Everyone who was exploited for profit deserves reparations. That's why we've been demanding rich people pay taxes. That's why we've been demanding and end to for-profit housing and healthcare. That's why we've been demanding student loan forgiveness. That's why we've been demanding that workers get paid for the value they produce instead of rich people keeping the profits while the workers starve. But you've been against that. You bring up "other people are mistreated too" as if it's some kind of "gotcha", but whenever there's an opportunity to help those other people, you try to stop it.

I work as a programmer for $35 an hour.

They once forgot to pay me for 8 extra hours that they needed me to work on Thanksgiving weekend. They simply needed me to be present for 8 hours in order to quickly fix any problems that happened during their busiest weekend, and no such problems ended up happening.

When they saw the mistake and paid me for it, the gross pay for that day was $420 (base of $35 x 8 hours x 1.5 for overtime).

The first thing I noticed was how that compared to what I got paid at my warehouse job before I became a programmer. When I started the job at the warehouse, I got paid $10 an hour. For a full time week, I got paid $400.

I got paid more for that one day of doing practically nothing as a programmer than I did busting my ass at the warehouse for a whole week.

So enough about this "I work harder than them so I deserve more pay" bullshit. You're all the working class. In our fucked up system, hard work does not equal more pay. If you want more pay, you need to fight back against the rich assholes who profit off your labor and pay you jack shit, not fight with other people who are underpaid about who deserves to be more underpaid.
