are people talking about the labor conditions at Taylor Farms yet? like the fact they use enslaved prisoners in their facilities?

are we drawing the connection between worker safety and consumer safety & public health yet?

are people demanding to see the conditions in this place that keeps making us sick? why are the enslaved workers not having the time to use the bathroom or to rest when ill? very few people would shit in front of their coworkers given any choice at all.

On the prisoners point:

Prisoners in the U.S. are part of a hidden workforce linked to hundreds of popular food brands

In a sweeping two-year investigation, The Associated Press found goods linked to prisoners wind up in the supply chains of everything from F

knowing how it tends to go with male authors and their wives it was probably marge who wrote the odyssey

the recent trend to hate on argentina and to characterize doing so as woke has allowed many first worlders to show their true colors. as soon as you all seem to get the 'green light' that hating on a third world country is acceptable you stop hiding your disdain and xenophobia. this and the "calling ice" jokes show you don't actually give two shits about racism or cheating or whatever, you just want a socially acceptable way to hate on latin americans

before my egg cracked, i had noticed that trans people were often pro-accessibility and up-to-date on the needs of disabled people, but i hadn’t seen any inherent connection between the two (other than the obvious minority-looking-out-for-other-minority thing). but now that i’m trans and medically transitioning, and i have to constantly repeat myself while talking to doctors and nurses, and explain things about my own anatomy to medical staff who should already know this, and having every single problem i might have blamed on my “condition” so nothing i say is taken seriously, all of the sudden i have a little sneak peak into the life of someone who has to deal with this all the time. like shit bro, being disabled probably sucks ass, someone should do something about this

happy disability pride month, we all deserve autonomy and respect and access to medication

nobody worry too much because they all produce various oils and have different densities of fur to keep them dry and warm as well as seek out shelter under thick vegetation

bahahhaa it's okay to dislike people and disagree with their behavior and call them out on it *tensing up* and maybe even get a little dismissive and challenging and mean sometimes right? um *every blood vessel bursts at once*

boy whatever... sure, whatever dude......

i'm your only friend (realizes that's statistically unlikely) i'm not your only friend (considers my positive qualities) but i'm a little glowing friend (suddenly gets cold feet) but really i'm not actually your friend (remembers to be confident in relationships) but i am

Hey 🖤

A month ago, our soulmate was hospitalized after vomiting blood. The diagnosis that followed was stage 3c stomach cancer, with fluid buildup in the brain.

After talking it through together, they have chosen to focus on quality of life rather than aggressive treatment, and we’re honoring that choice completely. What we’re asking for now is help making the time we have left as calm and steady as possible.

They were working before this, now they’re on disability leave, and we’re both getting by on disability benefits, which doesn’t stretch far. Our water was recently shut off, and we’re about $2,000 in debt from that alone. Groceries and dog care are a daily stress. They need RSO (cannabis oil) every morning and night to manage nausea, and that cost adds up fast. We also need to figure out speaking to a death doula and make sure that we have care set up in that regard.

On top of the day-to-day, we’re facing real transportation costs; trips for pain management treatment, grief counseling, and the practical work of getting affairs in order. None of these things are optional right now.

If you’re able to give, it goes directly toward keeping the lights on, food on the table, and keeping them comfortable and making sure they have the space and time to spend with their siblings and friends.

We also offer sliding-scale astrology coaching, and we run a Plex server with free movies and shows (we take requests) as a thank-you or trade for anyone who wants it.

Thank you for reading this far 🖤
