Gonna be a stark reminder that “Safety Net” programs like Medicaid and food stamps exist for EVERYONE’S safety, not just the people who directly use them.
Folks don’t understand what hunger and despair will really drive people to do.
Cutting SNAP and Medicaid impacts everyone. I need it to click. Fuck.

Every now and then it's nice to pick your head up from your book, reacquaint yourself with the world, take a hard pass and immediately go right back to reading. Balance is important.

Phone: Cool, every 90 seconds you will just need to watch a little animated snuff film featuring a mother and child freezing to death, or a king slowly being crushed against a spiky wall by piles of falling rubble
