The cruelty is the point.

Those in power would rather push homeless people out of society and life than give them homes that ALREADY EXIST.

There are more vacant houses than homeless folks.
It costs more to brutalize them, versus giving them housing.

Housing should be a fundamental right for all.

Perfection hurts progress.

I say that to myself, hoping one day I'll believe it.

We're encouraged to be flawless by society. For some of us, it starts in our own home.

I take far too long looking for the "perfect" item to buy.
I take far too long looking for "imperfections" in the mirror.

I was meal prepping this morning. As I'm cooking, I start feeling lightheaded.
My hearing fades away, replaced by muffled ringing.

Unless I lay down quickly, my vision will start going black.
I turned the stove off and went to the nearest place to lay.

How wonderful it is to deal with #POTS . . .

I was commenting on a YouTube short about EDS and it kept getting deleted. Absolutely frustrating-

I had to shorten my experience, and leave a lot out. So, the attached responses to this post will be my short story on having hypermoblie Ehlers Danlos Syndrome:

House Bill 3817 would add "gender identity fraud" to the Texas Penal Code.
If passed, any person who has had their legal gender marker changed or identifies as trans would be "punishable by up to TWO YEARS in jail AND a fine of up to $10,000."

Still want to leave these things up to the states?

Vile lying scum. The bill raises taxes on the bottom 95%, cuts them for the rich, obliterates healthcare for the poor and disabled and slashes food stamps.

"Some things in life they just don't wanna see
But if Martin Luther was living, he wouldn't let this be!"

Workers at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau have been told to stop working on all cases.

The CFPB helps defrauded Americans get their hard earned money back. Whether it be from banks selling fake identity protection, predatory loans, or if you were stiffed via wage theft by your employer.

Getting kicked out of your house is difficult, especially as a disabled person.

Luckily, I have support in my small friend group, but man- my body been upset with me from all the furniture moving and organizing.

Times are rough out here, folks.

A glimmer in the darkness I hope for is other countries will look at the current situation we've been leading up to, with the U.S. oligarchy, and be so horrified that they go in the opposite direction.

One can dream- . . . 🥲

If Trump follows through with his Greenland, Denmark, Gaza, Mexico or Iran warmongering and imperialism every US soldier should resign in protest. “Just following orders” doesn’t cut it.

Politics is society's morals.

Your workplace, our schools.
The housing market, the healthcare system.
The food on your table is affected by subsidies that farmers get.
Even the games you play, policies affect the workers making them.

Everything is political; it cannot and should not be separated.

Watching Secular Talk right now is self-care, because I feel like he's going insane just as fast as I am.
