How did Christians interpret “Don’t use my name in vain” as don’t say “Oh my god” instead of “Don’t use my name to colonize and enslave half the planet."
“Have Yourself A Merriam Little Christmas”
Merriam, a career-oriented lexicographer from the city, returns to her small town for the holidays and meets Webster, a ruggedly handsome librarian, who shows her the true DEFINITION of Christmas.
@drevnye_memy I wish “have PhD, don’t have job” were a gimmick. The academic job market is burning down, and outside of academia, a PhD confuses potential employers at best, and often gets you an automatic reject for several reasons. My PhD has become my biggest employability liability. ���😢
SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.
SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”.
Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.
People need & deserve assistance
Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich
Be mad about that
I just want to let you comrades know that Cornell's entire library is open access (no permissions required), and there are many thousands of books 📚

Anyone can become disabled.
Anyone can lose their job
Anyone can become homeless
Anyone can go hungry.
These are not moral failings. They can happen in an instant.

We must fight for one another
I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food.
I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.
@terri4436166795@Yung4in4xs_ I’m not saying we shouldn’t donate and do good work in our own community. I’m saying lack of food and housing should not be viewed as a failure of individuals; rather, it is a failure of our government.
@terri4436166795@Yung4in4xs_ “Do you donate to your local food bank and do you house homeless people? It’s WE the people.”
Yeah so here’s the thing. I pay taxes, which are intended to support the greater good. I should not NEED to house others because the gov’t should be doing it with our taxes.
