The Jewel of the Nile

It’s hard to like yourself when you were told you were one biscuit away from being a cow your entire life.

I said 60% because the other 40% you couldn’t tell I was in survival mode cuz I was skinny. 🙃

This is why I’m very vocal about my disordered eating and unhealthy relationship with my weight and food.

I’ve been in survival mode for 60% of my life. My weight has gone up and down, & I’ve never been satisfied with my body due to dysmorphia and abuse from childhood.

See… I like the prongs on 3 with the handle on 4. Lmfaoooooo

If you’re with a woman you know you don’t want to be with and you’re treating her subpar or poorly instead of just letting her go, fuck you.

Jennifer Love Hewitt in The Client List:

Yes. It doesn’t work.

But you all look so good in them!!!

AuDHD

1. Yes;
2. It’s a cross between 3 & 4. I like the prongs on 3, but the handle on 4. If I have to choose, I’ll choose 4.

I've met parents selling plasma or going without electricity just to keep a roof over their children's heads.

From California to Ohio, school districts have opened "safe parking lots" for homeless students and their families.

The line between "housed" and "unhoused" has become shockingly porous.

Across the United States, landlords file an average of seven evictions *every minute.*

In some cities, for every one person who secures housing, an estimated four more are pushed into homelessness.

But it's not just low wages. Work itself—increasingly gigified or contracted out, and stripped of basic benefits—has become more precarious than ever.

For many, the real threat isn't job loss. It's that their job will never pay enough, never provide enough hours or stability to keep them housed.

The numbers are staggering:

Rent is now unaffordable for a record *half* of U.S. renters.

Some 30 million jobs pay less than $15 an hour. The average wage needed to afford a one-bedroom apartment has climbed to $28.17 — nearly four times the federal minimum wage, which hasn't gone up in 16 years.

Nearly eight years ago, when I began reporting on the "working homeless," it was treated as an edge case, a tragedy at the margins.

That fiction has collapsed.

Housing insecurity is now an ever-widening sinkhole, swallowing not only the poor and working class but entire swaths of the middle class.

Paperback edition of There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America by Brian Goldstone

Today the paperback of THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US is out.

It's arriving in a country once again waging war—a country that can spend tens of billions on bombs without blinking, while millions of Americans are one missed paycheck, one rent hike away from homelessness.

Let's take stock of where we are.

It’s not Tar-zhay, it’s Targét. God yall are clueless.

Forgive the balance on my credit card, reissue me a new one, free purchases for the next 10 years.

Then I’ll be back.

Blk ppl: ¿Quién es?
Target: soy yo!
Blk ppl: ¿Qué vienes a buscar?
Target: a ti
Blk ppl: Ya es tarde
Target: ¿por qué?
Blk ppl: Porque ahora soy yo la que quiere estar sin ti! Por eso vete, olvida mi nombre, mi cara, mi casa y pega la vuelta!

Exactly all of this. It’s sickening. Worst of all, it’s fake. Jesus is already here walking and living among us & he’s disgusted.

This is what I have been saying forever. The only reason Republicans pretend to care about “the Jewish people” is that they need Israel for the Rapture to happen and then all the Jews will burn in Hell. Criticizing Israel’s government isn’t antisemitic but THAT sure is.

Ohh I can’t see their faces lop

pole = 💈

poll = 🗳️

Lmao $4.5 million for 10 jobs.
