One of my least favorite mental illness things is "hungry but dont feel like eating" and its companions "hungry but all the food in the house is Illegal," "hungry but can't make anything," and "hungry, want to eat, but why bother"

[chatdomestique]

Also the adhd friend “hungry but unaware of hunger because current activity is too captivating”

[rox-and-prose]

"Hungry but I'll get to it later"

[jabberwockypie]

“Definite not hungry, nope, but upon forcing oneself to eat something, discovering that the food vanished in 30 seconds and the pervasive feelings of ickiness all vanished, what the fuck"

[signechan]

Hungry but only for one specific food. I do not know what that food is but i do know i don't have it in the house

[blueandbluer]

ok, that last one? That happens to me ALL THE TIME. I call in "food ennui".

in the latest Blue Checkmark news some guy made a long ass thread about forcing his nine year old to figure out how to open a can by herself instead of showing her how, despite the fact that it took her Six Hours

A black girl will be spending years in jail because she had a mental health crisis. PLEASE READ

Meet Sarya: she was experiencing a mental health crisis. Police came and tackled her. She is 15.

Saraya Rees is a 15 year old biracial girl from Coos County, Oregon. After being abruptly instructed to stop taking her antidepressants by a local pediatrician, Saraya went into psychosis. In her manic state, Saraya poured a small amount of gasoline on the floor. Her parents called Coos Health & Wellness in hope that that would send mental health advisors, Coos Health & Wellness sent the police. While still in psychosis, the officers arrested her, questioned her without her family or lawyers present, charged with attempted murder and assault, and sent her to juvenile prison for 11 years.

This is not justice.

This is inhumane.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP:

Call these people and demand that she be let go to the custody in her parents.

Please call Governor Kate Brown and Senator Jeff Merkely.⁠

Remember that Pfizer could make the vaccine formula open source at any moment. they could even sell the rights to the US government at a king’s ransom. Doing so would let other pharma companies produce doses, and potentially end this thing 10x faster. But they won’t. Instead, they’re about to become unimaginably wealthy.

Also remember that the Pharmaceutical industry, and by extension the US government, has a vested interest in NOT preventing future pandemics.

I know this is going to make me sound pretensions but I have to get it off my chest. I feel an unimaginable rage when someone posts a photo and is like "this picture looks like a renaissance painting lol" when the photo clearly has the lighting, colors and composition of a baroque or romantic painting. There are differences in these styles and those differences are important and labeling every "classical" looking painting as renaissance is annoying and upsetting to me. And anytime I come across one of those posts I have to put down my phone and go take a walk because they make me so mad

[cursed-and-haunted]

In case you're curious here's what I mean.

Renaissance(distinct lines, stability and the individual man):

Baroque (bold, chaotic, dramatic):

Romantic(romanticize the simple hard working life):

Do you see the difference?

Nobody got to be a billionaire by getting a paycheck. Jeff Bezos is not a billionaire because of his paycheck. Bezos’ paycheck is $81,840 (plus expenses). The reason he’s a billionaire is because he owns billions worth of stock in Amazon. Bezos is filthy rich because of a number on a balance sheet, not because he has a hundred billion dollars in a bank account.

Billionaires are a failure of the economy. Billionaires mean we need to put the brakes on capitalism. Corporate tax is crazy complex and fixing it in one place risks breaking it in another. The govt can’t just confiscate the value of Amazon thru taxes and give it to other people. Taxes aren’t always the best way to redistribute wealth, especially if wealth is stock ownership. (I mean, yeah, make companies pay more taxes, but that won’t fix the problems with a company like Amazon.)

The goal is to REDUCE THE VALUE OF AMAZON. The Dept of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission should make Amazon sell Pillpack, the pharmacy it bought, and sell Whole Foods. Antitrust laws should be enforced so that Amazon stops vacuuming up entire sectors of retail. Making Amazon smaller will reduce Amazon’s value and break up its stranglehold on e-shopping.  (The FTC is suing Facebook to make it sell WhatsApp and Instagram as of 9 Dec 2020.) (The Dept of Justice filed an antitrust lawsuit against Google in Oct 2020.) This is a TREND, people!!

Another thing that would REDUCE THE VALUE OF AMAZON is to force them to treat their workers better. Workers need higher pay; they need reduced productivity quotas so they can go to the bathroom during their shift; they need better working conditions. Probably laws aren’t the best way to get these results - the best way would be to let Amazon workers unionize. Then the union can bargain for better conditions, like breakrooms and reduced quotas. So Amazon’s expenses go up (they have to hire more people and pay them better) and that makes its profits go down.

Bezos would still own Amazon stock, but he wouldn’t be a billionaire because Amazon would be worth less as a company. The number on the balance sheet that makes him a billionaire is no longer in the billions.

Antitrust laws, unions, higher minimum wage, regulations that protect workers - all of these things will redistribute wealth that’s built on the backs of workers. It’s not just taxes that redistribute wealth.

Get rid of billionaires by enforcing the laws that put a lid on capitalism.

JUSTICE FOR CASEY GOODSON

On December 4th, 2020, Casey Christian Goodson Jr. (23 years old) was shot three times in the back and murdered by a Sheriff’s Deputy as he was entering his home in Columbus, Ohio. Goodson’s family stated that he was returning home from a dentist appointment, holding a Subway sandwich, his face mask, and his keys, when he was shot.

Two days later, the Columbus Police Department made a statement alleging that James Meade, the deputy responsible for Goodson’s death, saw a man believed to be Goodson with a gun while driving. Meade then approached Goodson after he exited his car and walked home, where he was shot.

Hours after the shooting, the US Marshal for the Southern District of Ohio, Peter Tobin, confirmed that Goodson was not the fugitive they were searching for. However, Tobin also added that he believed that the shooting was justified, claiming that Goodson was shot after he refused to drop his “weapon.”

Yet another Black man murdered by the police.

DEMAND JUSTICE.
