Strong hallucinogen but feels very different. And smoking dmt is only a 5 or 10 minute thing, not hours upon hours. Also more introspective in my opinion.

It isn't fun. I have veggies from shopping last payday so am adding those to my pasta sides, but I also know I'm fortunate to be able to have fresh veggies throughout the month. My boss just has a lot of unpaid closure days so sometimes boxed stuff comes in handy to stretch meals and add variety.

I'm not going to spend 4 days eating pasta and butter. I'll get burned out on the same flavors. The boxes have flavors added, were on sale, and I could mix it up. Just because someone is tight on money shouldn't mean they have to be sad eating their meal.

Food costs vary by area and what is offered. Living situations also change how you're able to buy and store food. And dietary restrictions, too. It costs me at least $20 to make a pot of chili if I'm out of seasonings. I got milk, butter, and boxes of pasta sides for $15 until payday (4 days).

I worked at a store which offered check cashing. During citrus season I was cashing quite a few checks each week. I then was trying to explain to angry people that the workers paid taxes and didn't get assistance. They would argue. I would tell them I saw their checks and stubs. "Liberal bitch."

I'm not sure how adding 3 to 4k to my overall cost would have showed me to be more responsible. My monthly bills are paid on time, I have no evictions, and my only debt is my student loan. I think that should count for something.

I agree. There are other ways to see if someone is responsible and racking up monthly payments with interest shouldn't be it. When I bought my car I chose one I could afford to pay cash for. The salesman was pushing so hard for me to finance saying it only would add a few grand to the total overall.

I have no credit because I do my best to not have debts like credit cards, car loans, etc. I don't trust myself to not put myself into financial ruin and that makes me financially irresponsible somehow.

It's all sad and disgusting. I can't wrap my head around how many horrible people exist around us each day.

Definitely. The french drain recently put in at the house was just a lazy river in the morning. The breaks in the rain were nice, though!

Just a little wet with a light breeze. Lovely out for a second jar of coffee, though. Good afternoon!

Soooo.. today a bear was on the campus of a school by the zoo. They're not saying it's the same bear but it sure seems like the same bear. It was also spotted crossing a street a little after 4pm. I'm worried actually worried for it.

I've been trying to figure this out.

Yes, the immediate is at least just as scary as what could be. I have little to no financial flexibility and only do the necessities. My sacrifice would be my job, home, and ability to feed myself while someone else might just have to not go on a trip. A week of work isn't the same for everyone.

And I do get that we need to make sacrifices. The whole thing is complicated. Ideas for people in similar situations to me would be great, though. It's not that we don't want to do something. It's that we still need to survive while we do it.

I get the idea but can't even afford to take sick days, much less miss a week of pay. Many people are scared of missing a paycheck and not affording necessities. I live paycheck to paycheck and have no support network if I fall on bad times, so the idea of losing my job by striking is scary.

Hope it's sooner rather than later. This regime has the mistakes, not just what worked, of past regimes to learn from.

People are human. If you don't find the beauty and wonder in something, you'll burn out. There has to be a balance. We're still allowed and should be encouraged to find our joy. Here's a picture I took on a walk. :) It doesn't detract from what's going on, but it's nice to smile, too.

You can be politically informed and enjoy tiny mushrooms growing on cones at the same time. People need a break from the constant barrage of negative, and nature is a wonderful reset.
