one of these days we as a society have to talk abt how the vast majority of people openly care more about animals and their welfare than they do about real human lives and don't feel an ounce of shame about it

my favorite work memory from this store will always be “hey remember when the subway inside the store closed down and they let me take a bunch of their shit for free and now it lives inside my house?”

my life is a joke

Please, please be considerate of your fat friends' needs and limitations. Fat bodies are heavy to carry around. I move about the world slower than my thin peers, and I've often had to choose between pushing myself to keep a pace that takes absolutely all my energy, or being left behind, when walking in a group. I don't always feel safe to ask that everyone walk slower, because there's a prevalent idea in society that fat people need to exert themselves as much as possible at all times in the service of weight loss, and that we never "really" need rest, therefore it's a good thing whenever we're exhausted. Fat people and thin people alike are taught that fatness is a flaw, one that fat people ourselves are to blame for, so we're not entitled to any accommodation or consideration. A friend of mine who is fat recently told me about a dinner party she went to where the chairs were far too small for her and she was sitting very uncomfortably. After the meal she politely suggested moving the party to the couch, but the others didn't want to. She spent another couple of hours in unnecessary pain, and didn't dare tell them about it. I love my thin friends, but some of them just don't realize that I weigh probably twice as much as them, and yet I balance it all on the same size feet and carry it on about the same size bones. I'm like if they had a whole other them to carry around at all times. Why would that not have an impact on how I function? Please - take us into consideration when we're part of activities. Ask us which activities work and which don't. Adjust the pace so no one has to be dry heaving and sweating barrels on what's supposed to be a casual walk. Make sure venues have seating that fits us. Make it safe for us to speak up if we need something. When we do, don't treat us like we're the problem. Finally: yes, we have heard of losing weight. Even those of us who might (and many never will, whether you like it or not), won't do it on a moment's notice. If your response to "fat people deserve accommodations" is "what if they weren't fat though", you're playing a fantasy game. It's pointless. We are fat and we are here and we do partake in society. Work with that.

Hello 👋 so I've had to take a leave of absence from my job bc my health is deteriorating drastically. The last few months have been extremely stressful and I'm struggling to take care of myself. We're moving into a temporary living situation until we can find an apt and I'm trying to find a job that will be closer. Until then any help with transportation or groceries would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all.

Venmo

Hi, sorry for this question, I'm just not completely sure what's going on rn with evacuation fundraisers. Are the borders completely closed now? is anyone still able to escape? should we be focusing our funds on things like the Gaza municipality for water access (https://gaza-city.ensany.com/campaign/6737) for the time being, or keep donating to gofundme's?

Nobody is leaving now and getting humanitarian aid in is very difficult, but the situation in Gaza changes day to day minute to minute, the invasion has just started and from the updates I’m seeing I don’t know what is the next step - but families in Gaza are still contacting for aid so I would absolutely prioritize the GFMs. Palestinians in Gaza need all the help and support they can get especially now

day 1 of UAW 4811 strike at uc santa cruz, the first campus to be called to stand up 🕊️

on may 15, UAW local 4811, which represents over 48,000 academic workers at all 11 university of california campuses across california, voted to authorize a strike. The strike comes in response to the brutal dismantling of the UC’s Gaza solidarity encampments at the hands of the police, authorized by the university’s administration. It also comes after the uc and cops stood by as groups of zionists violently attacked the UCLA encampment with chemical sprays, fireworks, and other weapons.

So I never made any of my goals been taking toilet paper from my job and I'm going to be a week late for rent which is going to take all I have when I do get paid so. Basically, anything is helpful. I'm very much sick and tired of this. More because I know I'm a black woman. I'm just not as appealing as a feel-good story or act of charity, but the compassion and aid and shares by the few don't go un-noticed. There is alot going on in the world I understand but even then I see cat and dog post and post for that fucked up site a03 get more help than my peers and I. That was a long one but I'm just saying if you can try to resist the urge to be passive please do so if you have nothing to give but your shares I appreciate that too.
