Oh

OH

OH

I just had a Zestmilla fic idea 👀

It’s top secret for now, but y’all can put your guess in now as to what it is 🤭

while the icj ruling is by no means a momentous victory, it’s a victory nonetheless and non-palestinian people shouldn’t be dismissive of its long-term implications in terms of how we can support palestine moving forward especially if they have no background in or knowledge of substantive international law. please actually read (and understand) the case report before being fatalistic for the sake of it.

9 to 5 is an insane amount of the day spent working. We just aren’t being paid enough to work fewer hours because we aren’t paid what our work is worth. Bigger companies hide behind small ones with the “we can’t all afford to pay workers fairly” excuse. Well then the business fails at being profitable because workers’ wages are not margins you can cut to be profitable.

And then the big corporations spend obscene amount of money bribing politicians to make sure things stay this way: that minimum wage stays below cost of living so people are forced to work often multiple jobs just to survive, keeping them desperate and forced to work jobs with poor wages.

Education advancement is a potential major debt that many people cannot afford or risk even to get into the highest paying industries. Not all school systems are created equal due to budget cuts and poor, outdated standards, putting many students at a disadvantage for college already. People who would be amazing teachers are dissuaded by the state of these schools and the lack of support they get. It is one of the most important jobs of society and much like many vital services, is taken for granted.

We pretend the threat of homelessness is only for people who are “undesirable” and just didn’t want to work when in reality, many people are one missed paycheck away from being out on the street due to predatory housing situations and unchecked landlords that can give as little as a week’s notice for eviction if not less in some places.

“Pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is an old saying that’s been twisted. It’s an impossible task. That’s what it means. It’s a tongue in cheek saying that’s been mockingly turned into a political statement and I think the people using it know that people aren’t going to look it up or know this. You cannot pull yourself up by them, you need help.

Society works when we rely on the group. That’s how all civilizations have worked. Others have fallen for not doing this or for doing so poorly with too many people at the bottom of the ladder holding it up (capitalism relies on this to function). Social programs have always been a facet of this and grouping it all into one big negative buzzword drives me insane.

The fire department is a social program. It’s free to call them and it’s paid for by the city because the rich decided that a poorer neighbor’s house fire was a risk to their property and so there should be someone that handles that without costs to an individual that would deter them calling for help. Same with 9-1-1 (unless of course if the person is in the US and needs a personal ambulance ride. Then they’ll charge thousands).

All I’m saying is with the state of the majority of people in the U.S., we could stand to have more support beams to help out before it collapses around us.

People are reaching a breaking point and this stress test of how much they’ll take (costs rising while what you get decreases and wages remaining stagnant; the growing population of homelessness and their solutions being to make homelessness illegal; cuts to people’s rights to their own body by people who are not doctors and should not have anything do to with it but want political points to remain in power by voters who are too uneducated to know better—again, keeping the populous too tired and poorly educated to realize the branching issues with this outside of their narrow-minded ideals they want to force on everyone else) won’t end well.

These problems all branch from a source. That source is always, ultimately, corrupted people in power, driven by money. They are shortsighted and only care about their own benefits. And by letting them, believing their lies and keeping them in power blinded by promises that are at best empty and at worst detrimental, it’s making this world a lot worse to live in for the rest of us. Even if the consequences haven’t reached you directly yet, we are already seeing what happens in this Tragedy of the Commons situation with the greed of a few.

We have to stop people from being able to exploit it. There needs to be laws in place that even the rich are subject to for this to ever work.

I feel like some artists for 40k I follow have a bad habit of posting to places (ie reddit 40k/the 40k meme subreddit) where they know people who hate their work will respond to their art/work like an asshole and rile themselves up for no good reason

[nabsthevulture]

ALSO OMG?????

Thank you guys so so so much for your help with Kaine's vet bills <3!!!!!!!!!!! We're about halfway there for covering it all. Like you guys know, I've been unemployed for a while and even at my last job with the hours i was getting I would have to pay with three weeks of pay. The job search is not going as good as I hope, so this all went on my credit card and I can't keep piling money on that with no back up plan, so your help is incredible and I can't thank you guys enough.

Big big love from me and my big baby. If he could type I'm sure he'd say thank you too. I'll post a picture of him in his donut for your viewing pleasure.

The five poll guarantees implemented by the Congress government are free travel for women across the state in non-AC state-run buses: 200 units of free power per month; Rs 2,000 per month for each female head of the family; 10 kg of food grains (rice, ragi, jowar, millet) per month to BPL (below poverty line) families; Rs 3,000 per month for two years to unemployed graduates; and Rs 1,500 per month for two years to unemployed diploma holders.

Expenditure on five guarantees

In 2023-24, the government launched four guarantee schemes under various departments. These are (i) Gruha Lakshmi, (ii) Gruha Jyothi, (iii) Shakthi, and (iv) Yuvanidhi. Along with the pre-existing scheme Annabhagya, these comprise five ‘guarantees’ provided to the public. In 2024-25, Rs 53,674 crore is proposed to be spent on these schemes. This is 47% higher than the revised estimates for 2023-24. More than half the allocation has been made towards the Gruha Lakshmi scheme. Under this scheme, women heads of families below the poverty line are given Rs 2,000 monthly. In 2024-25, this scheme has been allocated Rs 28,608 crore, which is 63% of the total estimated expenditure on social welfare and nutrition.

State finances

In February, chief minister Siddaramaiah, who also holds the finance portfolio, presented a revenue-deficit state budget for 2024-25, with total outlay set at Rs 3,71,383 crore. The deficit stood at Rs 27,354 crore, marking the first instance where borrowings in a fiscal year surpassed the Rs 1 lakh crore mark. Siddaramaiah also allocated Rs 52,000 crore towards the implementation of five guarantee schemes for 2024-25.

Some of the BCG short sighted policy recommendations being implemented:

Turns out the freebies are not really free and the brunt of these votebank promises are going to be paid by the average karnataka resident. As for the other BCG recommendations which don't involve cost transfer we'll have to wait and watch.

been reading a lot of 9-1-1 buddie fic lately and i've gotta say. watching interviews with first and khaotung really desensitizes you to the most over the top friends to lovers/didn't-know-they-were-dating fanfic tropes

“👀” + “don’t you think it is odd how friendly that stranger is? Maybe she heard about what happened to you regarding that nobleman about Sivel and figured you are the easiest of the bunch to manipulate for information.” (Iomhar)

@lunarxdaydream // mentioning @soulsxng || Send me “👀“ + something a third party or mutual friend could say about your muse, and my muse will respond to it

The fae paused in a way that suggested he had not at all considered that possibility— which he hadn’t! Who would feel like keeping an eye out for subterfuge during a party!

“Parties are meant for enjoying life! Not constantly looking over your shoulder in fear of what may or may not lurk hidden shadows.” Raising a goblet of wine in his hand, he lifted it as if making a toast.

“Besides, if anyone has any ill intent towards me, I am certain that m'eudail or my king will notice and put an end to it!”
