You cannot become a parent just because you want a baby that guy you made is gonna start having independent thoughts faster than you think he will

[lostsometime]

on Father’s Day, sitting in a restaurant with my parents and my brother, my mom commented idly that THIS was what she wanted when she & my dad started planning for kids almost 40 years ago. Not how cute a baby would be, not teaching a child to read or ride a bike, but THIS - a holiday meal with her two adult children who are grown and happy, living lives they enjoy. And I thought how lucky I am, that I have her. To know that my whole life was what she wanted and looked forward to, not just my infancy or childhood. To know that she was looking forward to knowing me, as a full and complete person.

God, even when they exist, I've lost track of how many times I've seen those services cut for lack of funding, turn out to be abuse schemes by some religious group, be in conflict with a law that means they can't actually help anyone...

Thinking about the food bank that gave out pallets of rotting grapes to families for Thanksgiving. And they actually were trying their best to get produce into the hands of people but they only could offer what they had been given and it was a shit ton of grapes that hadn't sold.

Thinking about Job training that actually turned out to be a sweatshop where you folded towels for 15 cents an hour.

This king about the mental health office that refused to send my prescription to my pharmacy, lied about it and then threatened to call "my parole officer" when I was upset because most of their patients were court mandated to go there but I was not one of them. They had simply forgotten that and decided to play the same games they did to those who had no choice. As soon as they realized I did not have a parole officer they stopped playing around and immediately sent the prescription.

Thinking about how Ebt pays out less money than the minimum amount the government says is needed to live by almost half. How there's so many tricks in the application to try to block you from getting aid you need.

Thinking about how many services are cut off from you if you have a criminal record and how being homeless is illegal in so many places.

Thinking about how the only job bank in my county shut down a decade ago in the middle of a recession.

Thinking about how rental assistance across the country have waiting lists years out.

Thinking about how employment resources is often getting someone to berate you while showing you the exact same Monster.com listing you could find online yourself and that's it.

Thinking about all the studies that showed giving people money outright with no strings attached was the most effective way to uplift people out of poverty...

[furryprovocateur]

alcoholism is a problem in the lgbt community yes but there's something weird and mentally disconnecting about trying to say that's because there's too many gay nightclubs or whatever instead of the reality that being lgbt is just genuinely oppressive and will push people to maladaptive coping mechanisms. like did we forget that people become alcoholics for a multitude of more reasons than because they went to a club once

Image ID: A tweet from nico @strongerpotions with attached picture of a poem in Microsoft Word. The tweet reads, "had to write a calligramme (shaped poem) for french class and i got carried away making an english version cause i was getting mad that i didnt know the words i wanted to say".

The poem is red text in the shape of a dog, with black text at the locations of the nose and collar. The poem reads, "Please do not fault your dog for his nature. He is not privy to the human rules by which you live. When he barks, he does not mean to hurt your ears; he has not your gift of speech. He cannot express himself as beautifully as you would like him to. But he will try. He does not mean to scratch you when he jumps up to greet you. He is so happy to see you. He waited all day. He does not mean to cause you pain. He cannot know he is made of sharp edges and pointed teeth. He is too cherished to know how to use them. So please do not fault him, scold him and scorn him, when he comes to you, tail wagging, knocking everything off the coffee table, his only trespass being that he does not know how to be anything other than a dog, and his only sin being that he loves you."

End ID.

Rare Scooby-Doo good guy reveal

[hellenhighwater]

Gonna get myself a fun little surprise I guess

[hellenhighwater]

This is better than I'd ever hoped for, I bet a rat could kill you with that thing by firing a laser back in time and electrocuting your grandfather

Just look at this thing

[hellenhighwater]

The rat gun is hereeeeee!

[hellenhighwater]

This is getting notes again so I will admit that "rat gun" was an autocorrect error and it was supposed to be "ray gun."

But it'll always be a rat gun to me.

The most expensive thing in these pictures was the cat, and he was $60.

[hellenhighwater]

I'll be honest--I forgot that the pump organ desk/bar was visible in the background, and it was NOT under $60.

It was actually $75.

The chairs, however, were paid for in human life. I inherited them; they were originally my great grandmother's. But they're not particularly rare-- you can find these exact chairs without a lot of effort, in reasonable shape, for not that much money. They made a lot of them.
