The unbridled joy of seeing this pass by again, spotting the little red heart like “ah… my old friend. Spongebob Human Anatomy Squarepants.

I want to preface this by saying this is not victim blaming. This not calling people online lazy or grifting or whatever.

But an underlooked proponent on why some people are nearing homeless and crowdfunding heavily rn is bc society has failed you by making it as inconvenient as possible to learn about social systems and programs that already exist to help your situation as well as not having enough programs and aid.

Lemme give some examples. I have been unemployed for 10 months. My mom told me about a paying job training program a month ago after I already decided to mive in with her to find work, because nothing was coming up in my own city. My best friend didn’t know about affordable housing assistance in my state until she talked to my dad about it on a chance encounter. Some people on here have to see posts about much cheaper alternatives to their current prescriptions or medical plans because its not in the interest of their doctors paychecks to tell them about it. I would have waited to get vaccinated and not have crowdfunded for Uber money if I had known they were going to give free vaccine rides the next month. But I wouldn’t have really known this until I opened the app once that program started, because it is in their interest to keep taking my money until its their desired time for me to reap their “generous” services.

What I’m trying to say is that this is an under discussed aspect of how capitalism fails people. When you are forced to make your life and work and finances so singular and self interested, you are cut off from community and equivalent social services to proper government assistance. You literally don’t know that there is help somewhere out there for you unless you’re told.

I believe a professor I had called this “cultural wisdom” but I haven’t been able to find the social science articles that expanded on this. It’s a practical knowledge of local systems that allows someone to function and thrive in that system. The example she used was having an understanding that banks can hold your money, but the practical aspect of accessing your money (in a convenient and easy manor) was knowing about ATMs and how to use them. But unless you have an account or someone ready to inform you, there’s no dedicated time or milestone where someone learns this.

And that’s just with a machine designed to give you YOUR money, let alone complex social service programs.

I want everyone who crowdfunds for hospital bills to know they probably don’t have to oay them at all. Just find the financial aid office of the hospital. It’s on the website BY LAW. Find the form. Fill it out. Get the bills canceled or lowered! You don’t need crowd money, you need the government’s money that’s already set aside for your medical care.

GO TO, MESSAGE, OR CALL YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY. Libraries are focusing more and more on community resources, support, and outreach. If you genuinely don’t know something or feel uncertain or are in a new situation, a reference librarian will not only help you sort your thoughts through their reference interview but then help you arm yourself with knowledge from reliable and often local sources. It doesn’t even have to be a question to Ask A Librarian. You can simply say “I’m in this situation now. I don’t know what to do next./I’m not confident I know everything I should or want to know.”

More tips:

Bookmark the your city’s webpage and check it any time you might need something that you don’t know how to get. Your city may have a social worker at city hall whose job is specifically to help you with that. Your city probably has a coronavirus task force page with info about free testing and vaccine clinics.

Read your local newspaper; there’s usually a local community paper that is free online or set out in front of businesses that will have about 60% ads, 20% random gossip, 10% news, and 10% local info/programs/opportunities that they have crammed in random corners to fill space. My job used to literally be laying out this kind of paper, and one of the things that I was always doing was checking for “free X day in a ten mile radius” so I wouldn’t have a weird gap on the science page.

Check if your city has an adult education program. My city offers free adult literacy classes that also have a lot of practical financial information.

Check your *county* website for resources. This will usually be a bit farther away but you might find out that you qualify for free bus passes in the whole county, or that there’s a meals on wheels plan that is supported in your area that you can sign up for.

If it is possible for you, enroll for a low-unit class at a community college. Community college are inexpensive, you may qualify for fee waivers, there are flexible class schedules, and if you are taking even just a couple units at a time at a community college you count as an enrolled student at that school - which means that you get access to the health services center (basic nurse visits, diagnostics, prescriptions, and blood tests at little to no cost - I paid nothing when my college health services nurse practitioner x-rayed my chest and diagnosed me with pneumonia then gave me antibiotics when I didn’t have insurance), counseling, students-in-need programs, and a bunch of other random shit. My school is currently giving a $150 bookstore voucher to students who provide proof of covid vaccination - the bookstore sells clothing, food, and electronics in addition to books. That is a LOT of stuff that you can get if you’re able to pay $40-100 a term and can take a class at a time. It’s a lot easier plan for the cost of enrolling in a semester at a community college than it is to plan for an unexpected doctor’s visit or an expense that leaves you low on food.

If you are ALREADY a student at any college or university, go to the student services page on the website and see what they’ve got. A shocking number of students don’t know that their schools offer food assistance and often work with local food pantries.

If you’re in the United States, call 211.

This is the ‘911’ line for community services. (If you’re calling from a landline it will get you local resources. If you’re calling from a cell phone, it may send you somewhere else but just tell the folks where you’re looking for help at and they should be able to redirect you.) Frustratingly, YMMV based on what’s available in your state and area, but like my county has a full-on triage worker. Agency Time is real and it can be a bitch, but this is probably your best first place to start.

HOMEMADE APPLE PIE FILLING

I will NEVER understand why people buy or make “filling” like this! You want a fucking amazing apple pie? Buy 3-5 fresh apples, peel and slice them. Then put them in the pie dough with the spices and a tiny bit of butter. Then cover that with you top crust and bake.

I think the best most human thing in the world is strangers doing a silly thing together

Examples:

- guy at work "Yes, and -" ing the bit me and my coworker were doing where we pretended to be owners of a fantasy medieval tavern not minimum wage retail staff

- at the gay club when Die Young by Kesha came on and two hundred people, all dancing and drinking separately, jumped up and down to make the "- beat of the drums *STOMP STOMP*" as loud as possible

- person who watched me stomp round the beach singing a made up song about breakfast foods to name a cat after and suggested more breakfast foods that would be good cat names

- guy who started a dance off with everyone across the road while waiting for the lights to change

- very tiny girl at the pharmacy interviewing everyone in the queue and every single one of us in turn sat down and answered this toddler's questions like we were on Letterman

i haven’t seen anyone on tumblr talking about this and i think we need to

just to clarify what we’re seeing here:

cully pratt, chris pratt’s brother, a sergeant in the solano county sheriff’s department in california, openly supports the three-percenters, a far-right militia group with ties to the january 6th insurrection at the us capitol among other things, and posts their imagery online.

chris pratt hypes his brother, and has also been seen at public appearances wearing three-percenter symbols, thereby publicly endorsing this shit as well.

i’ve already seen people try to distance chris pratt from this, saying, “it’s his brother, not him!!” hate to break it to you, but when you are a famous person and use your platform to publicly display symbols endorsing far-right hate and white supremacy, that makes you culpable. he is at best completely ignorant, but that’s giving him a lot more credit than he deserves, frankly; even so, even if he actually is just ignorant, that definitely doesn’t give him a pass. there should be accountability no matter what.

The Three Percenters are more than just a right-wing militia. They are a terrorist group and are designated as such by the Canadian government. Here’s a partial list of some of the things they’re responsible for: 2017: -Three Percenters firebombed a mosque in MN., narrowly missing killing & injuring dozens of members who are there for morning prayers. The Threepers responsible told police they wanted to “scare Muslims out of the country.” -A self-identified “Three Percenter” is arrested by the FBI after unsuccessfuly trying to blow up a bank in Oklahoma City with a car bombed modelled after the one used by Timothy McVeigh. -Three Percent militia member Tyler TenBrink fires a handgun at a crowd of people protesting an appearance by white supremacist Richard Spencer. 2018: -Self-proclaimed Three Percent supporter Joseph “Dymond” Vinci - beats a homeless man with a police baton. When the man attempts to defend himself, Vinci shoots him dead. -Three Percenter Joshua Daniel Miller shoots a 23-year-old man to death. 2020: -Three Percenter Benjamin Jong Ren Hung, intentionally drives his truck into a crowd of protesters in Pasadena, California. -A group of volunteer medics arriving to support a counter-protest to a “Back the Blue” rally in Fort Collins, CO are set upon and beaten by Three Percenters militia members. -Thirteen men are arrested after a failed plot to kidnap the governor of Michigan and put her on “trial” for “treason.” At least two of the 13 are in the Three Percenter or Boogaloo Bois militias. -After a pro-Trump rally in Atlanta, Georgia, Three Percent leader Chris Hill and over a dozen masked men rush a group of four counter-protestors leaving the area, hold them at gunpoint and beat them. 2021: -So far 16 Three Percenters have been arrested for taking part in the deadly January 6th insurrection

I don't know what parent needs to hear this but...

Your kids are smarter than you think.

Your kids can tell when they are not a priority to you.

Your kids can and will remember who was there for them and who couldn't be bothered to be there.

Your kids can tell when their parents would rather be anywhere or with anyone but each other.

The only people you are fooling with this kind of stuff is yourself. You are most certainly not fooling your kids. Kids deserve better than to put up with this kind of s***.
