saw a post about having 'neurospicy' dreams and it was just basic things every human being deserves like feeling safe and having a job that doesn't kill them

why not try Marx instead of pathologizing yourself

We in Gaza are heartbroken. Our lives are difficult; we are homeless on the dirty sand. For two years, my brother has been disabled with a broken leg & needs surgery to have a metal plate inserted😭
We appeal to you to donate us so we can buy food supplies & get my brother treatmentπŸ’”

He worked at a granite plant that made blank tombstones. He later got emphysema from the granite dust and died from it.

One woman who called the State Department helpline looking for help said they told her to "stop ranting and raving" and hung up on her.

Another woman said they asked her how to spell Oman.
