what people don’t realize about basic universal income is that once people aren’t struggling just to pay rent and buy food, they’re free to better themselves and society, they’re free to do what they want to do and be happy, and if that means nothing to you, they’re free to get an education and work in science and medicine or things they wouldn’t have been able to do before. they’re free to do things that will help YOU, if you’re wondering “well how is this going to help ME?”
like, the woman who is struggling to buy food for her kids now could be the woman who builds a space ship to mars, or finds the cure for deadly diseases, or becomes the president who turns the us economy around, there are so many brilliant, talented people in america who could be doing so much but they can’t because they’re struggling just to make ends meet.
basic universal income isn’t about people being lazy, its about society capping it’s own progress and potential, also, if we have the means to meet people’s basic needs, which we do, literally why would we not do that? but as usual no one cares about anything but “how could this help me, personally?”. great news. it helps everyone.
Recently, my mum and stepdad have been physically hitting my dog, Loki. Whenever he would bark or hide under the bed, they would shout at him and punch him, sometimes even kick him.
My mum is threatening to put him down, and I know he doesn’t deserve that. I need someone, most preferably in Tasmania, to look after him, please. I don’t want to see him being put in another chokehold or being dragged out from under the bed by his ears while my sister cheers them on.
He’s a Border Collie x Black Shepherd, 7 years old, male, called Loki. He’s been neutered and vaccinated, is very friendly and good with small children, but not so much with other dogs. He’s rather big but physically healthy. He’s well trained but still needs a leash when walking.
Just, please, at least reblog this, I don’t want my dog to get hurt, even if it means taking him away from my parents and giving him to someone else. I can’t handle seeing him have to suffer and most definitely cannot respect anyone who ever harms an animal, even if its my family.
If you are interested in helping, please send me a message. Please.
have you ever considered that female celebrities claim not to be feminists/push a watered down version of feminism because it’s fucking unsafe for them to admit to anything else? emma watson gave the most watered down, man friendly speech on feminism i’ve ever seen in my life and men threatened to leak nudes of her and attack her so
parents:
wELL OBVIOUSLY YOU DID SOMETHING!!! DID YOU JUST LOOK AT A *WALL* ALL DAY????????
me:
to be frank i did many things but you and I both know that you know very little about my interests and I know that you don't particularly care to learn about them and I don't have the mental capability to put up with you dismissing the things that make me happy so for the sake of brevity and my emotional well being: i did nothing
For those of you who don’t already know, there is a petition going around to actually stock binders in stores (like Walmart/Kmart/Target etc.)!!!
ALSO, people who don’t bind. Please, can I have your attention?
Here is your chance to exercise your allyship. Sign this petition. It can be very, very difficult for people who bind to get access to effective binders. They often resort to harmful things (like tape) that can break their ribs or suffocate them.
Please, sign the petition. You will be saving someone from immeasurable pain.
Imagine going to a party and the white suburban stay at home mom with two overachiever kids and white dad who barbeques but doesn’t know how to barbeque and yet is always surrounded by other white Dads who compliment his barbqeuing even though they’re just store bought preshaped frozen patties from Ralph’s or Food 4 Less and while he’s cooking those the white mom comes out and says “okay kids, here’s some pizza!” And she pulls this out and starts telling the kids why its a “fun pizza” and then cries in her master bedroom when no one likes it or finishes it and the white dad is then consoling her why she sobs that she’s a terrible mother and ruined her fourth grade straight B+ sons birthday and thinks her kids hate her but they don’t care but she continues crying softly into her pillow while the children eat poorly cooked burgers with unmelted kraft singles and too much mayonnaise and the only other condiments are two pickles and pepper because the dad calls it his special burger with a secret spice but the spice was just pepper and the kids just keep playing E rated games on their Nintendo Wii while the 17 year old older sister starts cleaning the tragedy up and throwing away uneaten “fun pizza” and whole burgers dejected from the start while she dials Pizza Hut to get these kids an actual birthday lunch and the mother then throws a fit because the daughter did something the kids liked and she didn’t and was the only one making a huge deal out of it and the daughter was then grounded from her TV in her room for only two days and the son went to blow out the candles in his standard birthday cake from food 4 less the mom added strawberries to so she could feel she did something but was still slightly teary and sad because her day was ruined by no one wanting to eat her “fun pizza”
