Good luck affording a place to live. Forget being able to fucking eat “healthy” like you’re “supposed to” (aka, morally obligated to).
in hawaii, you have to work 2 more hours in a week than exists in a week to pay rent
Anyone who puts in an honest 40 hours of work per week, regardless of the skill level of the job, ought to be paid at least enough to keep a roof over their head and afford vital expenses like food and health care. This country has betrayed the working class, and it’s absolutely inexcusable.
Putting this out there for all the assholes who don’t think minimum wage should cover living expenses.

People in Ferguson don’t have the luxury to ignore what’s happening right now. Black people don’t have the luxury to ignore the racism they’re forced to constantly face. I hope you realize how much privilege you have when you’re literally given the opportunity to ignore what’s happening.
kill the idea that you have to tolerate peoples problematic behavior just because they’re your friends
#’whatever you find’ #that’s a pretty broad definition #i personally would not be satisfied if i found #say #an alligator in my partner’s pants#genitalia is cool #carnivorous reptiles are not.
is pansexuality not caring if you find an alligator
yes
If the alligator is limp, is it a reptile dysfunction?
we need to get outside
but there are people out there
avoid people who mess with your head
avoid people who intentionally and repeatedly do and say things that they know upset you
avoid people who expect you to prioritise them but refuse to prioritise you
avoid people who can’t and won’t apologise sincerely
avoid
avoid

White people get so angry at the phrase, “You cannot be racist towards white people.”
I will never understand why.
Why are you so angry that you are being treated as actual human beings? You are not reduced to caricatures, but portrayed as characters. You are treated fairly, judged not by your skin tone, but by the ways that you carry yourselves, by your actions.
Why do you want to experience racism so badly? It is not fun to be mocked, dehumanized, attacked, killed, incarcerated simply for daring to exist. It is not fun to know nothing of your history or family because it was torn apart, whether through distance or death. It is not fun to hear, at every turn, comments reminding you of your lesser status as humans.
Do you really want to turn on the tv, open a magazine, watch a movie, play a video game, and not see yourself? Or, even better, to only see yourself as a criminal, as a drunk, a mocking stereotype, or as someone to be killed off? Or would you rather see fleshed out, well-written characters with lives and personalities and feelings? I know which I’d rather pick.
If I were a white person, the phrase, “You cannot be racist towards white people,” would be the best thing I could ever hear.
