literally no better feeling than blurting out some loud dumbass joke with your buddies and hearing a total stranger ugly-snort-laugh as they walk past bc their own laughter caught them by surprise. find joy and connection in the spontaneity of strangers you son of a bitch. i fucking got your ass

Every time I get groceries I’m always appalled at how little you can get for like, $20. I was making banana pudding so I needed vanilla wafers but the brand name nilla wafers cost $4 a box. The minimum wage in my state is $7.25/hr. My friend put it really well when he said “imagine you work for an hour and someone hands you two boxes of nilla wafers and said ‘actually this is a bit more than what I owe you’”
How are some of y’all missing the point so bad. “Shop at aldi instead” “make your own food” “don’t buy brand name” “don’t buy unhealthy processed food” It’s not about the box of cookies. This is about how minimum wage pays peanuts and has stagnated for 12 years while the cost of living keeps growing. No one wants your financial advice about how to survive on beans and rice and frozen veggies. The smartest grocery list in the world is not gonna help you budget your way out of poverty. Please get a grip for the love of god

The cops are threatening to arrest my 13 year old transgender child for throwing a cookie. This cannot be real
The cops took their phone so now I can’t reach them at all. No idea what the justification is or if they’re going to return it
The station is closed but I called the after hours line to say basically “an adult cares about this child and is keeping tabs on what you’re fucking doing”, the receptionist agreed they shouldn’t have taken his phone or be talking to him without me and they made a request for the officer to call me back. I can’t do anything else, Chris is sick so he can’t drive 100km+ to my mother’s house late at night after working since 5am
Anyway I need to get my kid out of there, my Kofi is here and my PayPal is here I’m gonna have to deal with this ASAP which means a gap between my welfare and child support to actually provide for him but subjecting a 13 year old transgender child to the carceral system for allegedly throwing a fucking cookie is beyond evil

nex was 16. they had a cat. his name was zeus. they played Minecraft. they were 16. they were beaten to death. they were a straight-a student. nobody called an ambulance. they loved rock music. they listened to the radio after school. they were 16. they were choctaw. they were 16. were.
NOBODY CALLED A FUCKING AMBULANCE!!
nobody called an ambulance. they reportedly could not walk independently to the nurse’s office. the police say they didn’t die from trauma. the police have a video of them before and after the incident. they’re going to release it “at some point.” their head was repeatedly slammed into the floor. nobody called an ambulance.
i want to be so fucking clear. even if the school isn’t lying, and nex could walk. even if the nurse was qualified enough to say nex didn’t need to go to the hospital. if a person’s head has any above minor trauma, you need to go to the hospital. immediately. even if it turns out to be nothing. because, as we’ve seen here, it might not be nothing. it might have you dying 40 minutes after collapsing, a day later.
head injuries regularly kill, because people think it’s not that bad.
they died suspended. they suspended nex instead of calling an ambulance.
they wanted to be a veterinarian, or a marine biologist. they watched anime. they were in the school’s gsa club, native american student association, and drama club.

idk its not funny when someone w literally every societal power outside of National Leader is like stalking a regular ass person
and outing all of her usernames like thats
genuinely dangerous if he rly wanted to do more than have a john green sobfest on main
i think we should like pay attention to that remember its super funny until someone dies like obvs not saying dude is gonna kill her but
rich guys who think theyre cool and funny have done it b4 and never had to deal w consequences and i just think we should rly pay attention to how making fun of this could invalidate the real danger this poses to trans women and rly anyone who makes a social media owner angry
