You can really tell who’s never experienced poverty and food insecurity when it comes to discussions around food costs and how unhealthy food is cheaper. Some fucker always comes in with the price of like… lettuce or… apples. And it’s like yeah bitch but can you work an 11 hour shift after eating some salad and an apple!?! Find me something cheaper, and more filling than the broke ass staples of boxed mac and cheese, hot dogs, noodles, bread, beans, and rice. I’ll wait.
It also ignores the mental toll that poverty takes like maybe your home made veggie filled recipe isn’t crazy expensive but it also involves prep time and cooking time and organization in terms of fresh food that a lotta poor people can’t manage.
Not to mention if you can only afford to get to the store once every couple weeks via bus or cab then you can’t keep fresh veg on deck.
Me, opening my eyes in the morning: Pearls. Pearls taking care of each other. Pearls developing subtle ways of communicating with each other and passing along warnings undetected. Pearls watching each other’s backs. Pearl solidarity. Pearls rebelling in tiny but meaningful ways and gaining courage and waiting for a tipping point. Pearls sharing knowledge and scraps of information with each other and teaching each other skills and piecing together bits and pieces and learning things together. Pearls giving each other names as a very personal act of rebellion. Pearls tentatively adopting physical demonstrations of affection when out of sight. Pearls drawing comfort from being in each other’s presence. Pearls.
Mother cat with kittens came to meet an old friend.
I can’t believe we’ve already found the best animal video of 2016.
That is too adorable. You can tell the mother cat actually does trust the dog just by her body language. Typically a mother will watch her kittens closely and be very protective of them, here she completely trusts the dog to play gentle with them. This is just too damn cute.
When he bops the kitten and looks up at Mom to make sure he didn’t overstep!
The dog is trying to make himself as non-threatening as possible!!
