So many folks are dealing with the guilt & anxiety of not being able to do more. It’s a real struggle. A taxi driver today was saying that some days they only make $20 and then he sees a person who don’t have any money for food, so he gives them $5. The taxi driver had 6 kids.
@_space_punk_ I knew one lady who lived in her van who made money by tattooing, which seems like maybe something you'd like, but its not immediate and is piecemeal. SNAP is the only program worth getting on for most but increasingly difficult. Worth checking out different food banks bc quality
Does this rash of incredibly weird takes about being 40 have to do with decreasing lifespans and subconscious/denied awareness of collapses or is everyone just incredibly shallow
@cybelethebest No, accept that you’re 40 and pretend that every day could be your last. It’s cringe to act like you’re still young when you’re well into middle age.
My check came... and went... clearing my overdraft, repaying my debts, and paying the bill for my storage unit. Wasn't able to put anything toward the houzeng fund or temp housing so I'll be outside. If anyone has a bone or 2 to throw my way, I'm hurting. https://t.co/p8wnIxnIjS

yall dont see the correlation between the pedophile president with inside ties to a child rape trafficking enterprise and the explosion of missing and pregnant children in these concentration camps? this is what happens when we do nothing
Unfortunately, we do have to actually get off our asses and do our part to help scrape and scrub the scum of the earth from this planet AND save all the animals and plants and children from genocidal billionaires (who also Want to Eat Us for WHATEVER reason) before it’s too late

just heard that a homeless neighbor got their tent bulldozed by the city, taking a lot of their possessions out and the fucking cruelty, words fail. the city's eventually gonna crush someone to death doing this shit and then they'll act like it was a surprise and an accident.
a lot of people dont care about insect biomass collapse bc when they hear we are losing 2.5% of the insect biomass per year they just imagine the cockroach and housefly population decreasing by that much. they dont realize those are among the only ones that will remain unbothered
@7girls1car Find a philosophy or faith or decision --something--that makes it all worthwhile even if we are all dead, even if it will be horrendous. that's the best answer I got.
apropos of nothing i just want to remind everyone that most (56%) USians can't read proficiently, let alone fluently. they cannot comprehend written information. "they can look this up!" they don't understand what it'll say
