An ‘allowance’ like that doesn’t always solve a homeless situation. Some folks have mental or physical health issues that force them into homelessness. Or they are in a domestic violence situation, where it might be safer to change your location every few days.

Billionaires are so obscenely out of touch with the reality that vulnerable populations exist in

My sweet cat waits for me at the door, even if I’ve just gone to take the dog out. It’s something I’ve had past roommates comment on too.

You can probably guess that she always leads me to her food bowl when I come back inside lol

The one that breaks my heart is the Christian counseling services, which are so often not true therapy. There are absolutely licensed therapists out there who are Christian and can advertise that. Just hate watching people who have serious mental health problems go to counseling and hating themselves because prayer isn’t usually enough to help.

I’m a firm believer that if there is a God, he provided the tools and people to help his flock deal with modern problems. But people often turn away from using these tools or services :(

I just went through 4 years of university as an elder millenial, the youngins still feel this way and I honestly thought it was a Gen Z thing. I’d never encountered the punctuation issue before I decided to go to school again

There’s a Fundamental Christian influencer named Aria Lewis who has that “insurance”. She’s been dealing with dental problems and basically made a post one day asking her followers if that insurance was a scam because she wasn’t able to get the care she really needed

It’s crazy what problems people fall into when they choose something has “Christian” in the name over what everyone else is using

I’m asking this genuinely, and not accusingly. Why do you think it’s slop? It looks like a normal fennec to me. It’s not my favorite type of fox, but it does look very typical of fennecs

Also, and maybe ai had gotten better at this, but generally it’s not able to generate an image with the tail wrapping around in the way this fox has

cause my face is NOT it

You actually have such a sweet, pretty face. And your eyes are very expressive in the few face pics I saw

Omg. I walk on the balls of my feet, those socks would be perfect

10/10 reference

I broke my spine in two places recently, and can’t really stand for long. So my docs had me doing some chair exercises to keep as much core strength as I can before I start physical therapy.

You’ll want to ignore the first ones that require planted or moving feet and focus on the dance, core, and upper body ones

Hope you recover quickly :)

From a quick search, it seems like it’s not as simple as getting a harness and using it in my car, I’d have to also get aftermarket seats and possibly further alterations to the vehicle. Not a bad idea, though, and something to keep in mind when I’m ready for a new car.

I hope the evil cloud picks me today

My brain operates only on “are they a threat”, and within that is “are they a friend”. I can name only a handful of people I find attractive if I’m pressed, but it’s always on a “this human is art” level.

I’m aroace, though, which likely is why I don’t evaluate people for hotness

My cardboard box collection has saved me countless dollars over all the moves I have made as an adult. I average a move every 1.6 years

This happens even in states that have enshrined abortion in their constitution, like Montana. Where I lived in Montana we had to drive 2.5 hours one way for the nearest maternity center. It may absolutely be the case that abortion bans are causing these maternity centers to close in many areas, but where I lived it was happening because the rising costs of Healthcare, and the costs to entice doctors to “the frontier”, were too high for keeping the local (and quite poor) population safe and healthy

This is the law that protected access to abortion

The shape and height of my body means the seat belt digs into my neck, instead of going across my chest and over my shoulder. Low key, sometimes I wonder if I would be decapitated in a crash because of it

Wait, I’m already doing this. Y’all can join me in my bog ^^

A lot of homeless people can’t work. But, for those who can, it’s hard to find a job when you haven’t been able to shower for a week, have no money to purchase nice clothing for interviews (let alone no where to keep these nice clothes), and don’t have an address which is often needed to secure either a job or benefits.

I have been homeless this year, and was lucky enough to get into a housing program. But my finances are still fucked, and I can’t work because of serious mental and physical disabilities. It’s a trap that is so difficult to get out of, and I’m very worried that I’ll be homeless again in a few years.

Imagine the toll this takes on a person, then add that this population is hated, derided, and repeatedly victimized by both the general population and the government/police. Imagine struggling with mental issues, and having all that you’ve managed to collect stolen from you every other week. Imagine having physical disabilities and being unable to run away from assaults. Imagine all of the above with the additional burdens of being a woman, a POC, and/or LGBTQ+.

Now think about how rough the job market is for people who have stable housing, and who meet the qualifications of a job, and for those who wouldn’t be a “DEI” hire in the age of “anti-woke”.

Empathy isn’t a weakness, it literally only means that you understand someone else’s plot in life. Being able to understand situations like or unlike your own is a strength, and it’s necessary to promote societal change. And that is exactly why conservatives hate it

What do I eat if eggs restrict my breathing capability? Is a ball of rice shaped like an egg sufficient to meet the requirement?
