when people can't eat or have homes, you have created a demographic of people who have absolutely nothing to lose by tearing everything down, cos they lose either way, but maybe if they act fast, and hard, and commit to the movement, they can survive the next five years that's what makes revolution

Okay. It's friday, and the end of the month, and two weeks away from my birthday, and I have about 8 bucks to my name. Which blows, since I kinda have ten days to come up with 1500 to cover my rent, plus food, plus gas plus the shipping for all the orders currently stuck waiting to go out of here.

My close circle, please keep sharing our post for #MutualAid as its going to be a very hard two weeks for us. Anything helps and we are okay for rent, I used my pay and we paid one bigger bill so far. Kids are out of school, food is crucial and for me, gas and insurance for working. Love to all 💕🪶

Excited to be part of @aanpress.bsky.social "Tea or Coffee, Stars, and Gravity: A SECOND CUP. The Marsha's Brick is a near-future spaceship, flying a delicate cargo to Ramdas Dome, an agri-colony orbiting Enceladus. Gravity-assist flyby and years in space can strain a mind, a body, and a marriage.

Every building isn’t full of cigarette smoke. We used to hear “cancer” and assume it was an automatic death sentence. It’s certainly not playing on easy mode to be LGBTQ+ now but oh boy kids, talk to your queer elders about how much coming out to ANYONE meant taking your life in your hands.

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

like, there's *more* stuff, sure, but is any of it *better*?
