what kills me about lottie is that despite the consequences of what she says and does she's basically the only yellowjacket to never act out of frustration or anger. everything she does comes from completely kind-hearted intentions

(trying to help travis about losing javi)

(trying to help shauna during birth)

(trying to help shauna with her rage)

she only ever wanted to help!! she didn't even want to be a prophet or a leader

she just wanted to help her friends the only way she knew how!!!!!

Quick Lunch

Addie was a predator, she was also going to be late for her next meeting and had slept through her last meal. She was walking along the street, cars rushing by as the prey went about their lives. She was ignoring them all, she towered over most at nine feet tall. Though as she walked quickly, she could feel her stomach growling and grunted in a very unladylike manner.

She knew that if she didn’t eat now then it would affect her mood at the presentation that she was going to be late to. So she quickly made a decision.

In front of her were two men who walked together and seemed to be talking about shipment costs for their company. She selected the fattest one and picked him up in one hand. She ripped his shirt off of his body, tossing the pieces away, then tore apart his pants and underwear. Finally she took each shoe and sock off with casual flicks of her hand. When she was done she tilted her head back and shoved him face first into her mouth. She quickly gulped several times and the man slid down her throat and into her stomach.

The entire process had taken less than 7 seconds.

She moaned in delight and held her stomach, a very effeminate moan echoed from her as she held her now full stomach. The food’s friend stood in wide eyed shock. Not because what she had done was illegal, but because it was so fast and sudden. She licked her lips and smiled at the man standing there. She could feel the food screaming, begging, and crying. He continued a mantra of disbelief as he slowly faded into unconsciousness within her and began the process of digestion.

In less than seven seconds she had ended a man’s life and sated her hunger. As she entered the meeting and crushed it, she felt that it had been a worthy sacrifice for the perfection that she was.

I think I've finally figured out why I hate the idea of being "nonchalant"

It's because it's so inhuman.

Being nonchalant is presenting yourself as uninterested and uncaring. Actively refusing as much response as possible, and therefore being incredibly difficult to communicate with.

A "nonchalant" person, is a person who pretty much lacks anything noteworthy nor interesting about them. Their personality IS acting uncaring, which is just frustrating.

This is a bit of an extreme example, but I have met people who genuinely try to be like this. And it is just sisyphean to try and communicate with them.

“When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist.” ― Dom Helder Camara, Dom Helder Camara: Essential Writings

Potty mouth James Cleverly has a fondness for the word “shit". He apparently described the government’s flagship Rwanda deportation scheme as “batshit”, but then denied he had used such language.

"James Cleverly repeatedly refuses to deny he called Rishi Sunak’s scheme ‘batshit’.” (Independent: 16/11/23)

Within a few days of that denial he was denying he had called the constituency of Stockton North a “shithole", following a child poverty question in the House of Commons.

During Prime Ministers Questions, Rishi Sunak was asked by the Labour MP  for Stockton North why 34% of children in his constituency were living in poverty.  Sunak, answered that 1.7 million FEWER people were living in poverty due to the policies of his government, and that 100,000 fewer children were living in poverty than when the Labour Party left office in 2012.

During that exchange Cleverly was allegedly heard to say “Because its a shithole". Under pressure, Cleverly admitted he used “unparliamentary” language, claiming he was insulting the MP and not his constituency.

“Allies of Home Secretary James Cleverly insist he DIDN'T call Stockton a 's**thole'... but did call Labour's Alex Cunningham a 's**t MP' in bizarre row over Commons hot mic moment."  MailOnline: 23/11/23)

Typical of the Tory right-wing press and the Tories themselves, the original question about child poverty has been totally sidestepped. I have no idea if the MP for Stockton North is a good constituency MP of a bad constituency MP. Either way, he is certainly NOT responsible for the high level of child poverty in his area. That shameful figure is the result of repeated Tory governments cutting of public services, welfare benefits and local authority funding.

Let us look at Sunak’s claims about poverty in general and child poverty in particular.

He assured us that  “1.7 million fewer people” were now living in poverty due to HIS policies. Sunak came to power on October 22nd, 2022, so poverty figures for 2022/23 are not yet complete or available, so how Sunak can make this claim is uncertain.

What we do know from government figures for the year 2021/22 is that relative poverty INCREASED while absolute poverty remained static.

What we also know is that in 2021, when Chancellor Sunak was asked about poverty levels in this country he lied. He stated on BBC Breakfast Programme:

"The number of people in poverty has fallen as a result of the actions the government has taken over the last several years” (06/07/21)

When this claim was fact checked, it was found that :

“Tory government statistics show the number of children in poverty in the UK rose by 600,000 between 2011 and 2019. The latest evidence (from a Tory think tank) says another 150,000 children are living in poverty since the pandemic – despite any aid from the Chancellor." (The National: 06/07/21)

And in 2022 we had this headline:

“More than one million to fall below the poverty line after Sunak's spring statement, think tank says."  (ITVX: 24/03/22)

Turning to child poverty, Sunak claimed 100,000 fewer children were in poverty due to his interventions. Again, the figures for 2022/23 have yet to be compiled so how does he know?

For the year 2021/22 child poverty figures went up from the year before, the governments own figures showing a rise from 3.9 million to 4.2 million for children in  relative poverty after housing costs were taken into account, while the number of children in absolute poverty remained the same at 3.3 million.

As tedious as it is to trawl through statistics, tables graphs and other data regarding poverty in this country it is essential that we realise that under successive Tory governments the number of those living in poverty is on the increase despite claims to the contrary.

Cleverly’s crass remarks regarding child poverty shows the true heart of the Conservative Party – blame the poor for their own plight.  A place is a “shithole" not because it’s public services are under funded, or its schools are crumbling, or the rents are too high and their are no jobs, but because of the type of people that live there: the poor.  Inflation, benefit cuts, housing shortages and the rising cost of living have nothing to do with turning a place into a shithole. It is the people who are to blame.

The sooner these arrogant, out of touch, rich, hypocritical, uncaring Tories are removed from office the better.

Try as he might, he did not have it in him to care enough for her distress. Yet what of it? No one cared enough, not really, for all the kind words and the mournful smiles they lavished upon the bereaved.

So to update. Today I found out I was denied unemployment. My ex employer won their argument and found me to be in misconduct. Even tho I was doing my job but remote. I seriously don't know what else to do. I am at a loss. Now I have no money coming in. Bills to pay and a house. And now nothing. Absolutely nothing. I so want to just give up.

[kinkicherryblue]

NO ARGUMENT HERE.

If we capped wealth at $999,999,999 we could invest almost $5.9 trillion into improving our country.

And if you’re upset at transferring wealth down, why are you ok with how we pass laws to transfer wealth up— from the working class to billionaires?

Billionaires shouldn’t exist

Sometimes, I feel bad for not caring as much as I should. I know I should care more about stuff, but I just cant force myself to care.
