Going from waitressing a year ago to now carries a LOT of life-adjustments.
But 3 paychecks in has shown me how 1 of the greatest scams in US is the idea that financial struggle is due to “poor character.”
It’s a huge myth designed to keep people from empowering themselves. /1
Before shooting this 14 y/o child, the cop acknowledges its likely a “cap gun” over the radio. Then shoots 4 times. The little boy is then cuffed, face down, crying while the cop assures him “youre not going to die.” Another cop asks if the shooter is okay
If you want to reduce abortion rates:
-Make birth control accessible and inexpensive
-Fund Sex Education programs in primary schools
-Subsidize day care
-Give tax breaks to single mothers
-Subsidize prenatal care
If you want to punish women for existing:
-Be Ohio And Georgia
You can be anti abortion for yourself and pro choice for anyone who isn’t you because you realize you shouldn’t get to make the rules for someone else’s body and you’re not going to do a single thing for the child they can’t/don’t want to carry.
It’s possible & necessary.
Hey Ben, quick story for ya-
My period was a full week late this month. That never happens. I suspected it had to do with new medication i’m on for a chronic illness, so I decided to wait a few more days. Luckily, it came.
That’s how periods work, you craven psycho.
“I know that people feel very strongly about abortion, but let me just say this: women and their doctors are in the best position to make informed decisions about what is best for them. Nobody else.”
Powerful words from @BusyPhilipps.
Whether or not you watch Busy Tonight, it's important to know when you give women shows we get to mainstream our voices and experiences. Busy Phillips saying "1 in 4 women have an abortion by 45 and I'm one of them" is a radical moment in late night TV. Proud of her and this.
Member of border militia that detained 200 migrants at gunpoint told police another member had said, “Why are we...not lining them up and shooting them? We have to go back to Hitler days and put them all in a gas chamber” per report I obtained under FOIA: https://t.co/XLUCBIAGTo
