Imagine enduring a harsh winter in a tent made of tarpaulin, with nothing to shield you from the elements.
Every day brings the threat of freezing temperatures, and rainwater can flood our small space, putting us at risk of drowning. The cold can lead to serious health issues, such as chest infections and chronic illnesses.
I am pleading for help to save my family from this life-threatening situation.

Grocery shopping, even online is a nightmare. It's like when somebody asks what do you want for Christmas" and you forget everything you've ever desired, except I have to do it every 2 weeks or so. "Hey what food do you want us to bring you" I don't fuckign. know. I've never eaten in my life.
They should invent a service that decides healthy, well-rounded meals for me and brings me the ingredients so I don't have to think about oh fuck that's hellofresh I'm just reinventing hellofresh
Everyone in the notes telling me to keep some kind of running list or use recipe apps is vastly overestimating my organisational skills. Last week I treated myself to an expensive half pineapple, completely forgot about it, and found it yesterday and ate the entire thing in one sitting because it was the last day that I trusted it to be edible. I lean hard into frozen and tinned foods not because I don't have time to cook but because they won't rot in my freezer. When I look up recipes my #2 concern (#1 is cost of ingredients) is not taste or nutrition, it's "if I forget to cook this for 3 days, then cook it and dump it in the freezer and forget about it for 11 months, then defrost it and forget about it in the fridge for 3 more days, will it still be good." I am not. Organised enough for this.
Dear god this looks amazing
This book was written by people who bring my exact energy to the kitchen
Idk i can't fuck with queers who consider being a thief or a whore or a druggie a bad thing. Like babe if you made it this far within the current structures of American oppression without somehow actively rejecting both law & custom I'm just assuming you'd be a volunteer fed in a heartbeat
The guy bankrupted multiple casinos. What the fuck did you expect would happen?
Like, I know almost nothing about tariffs, yet I’m now positive I know more about tariffs than Trump.
for anyone unaware, BDS is calling for a boycott of Microsoft Game Pass, Minecraft, and New Xbox Consoles
Fucking wild to be teaching about Rosa Parks at the same time as a trans woman in Florida does an act of civil disobedience to use a women's restroom in the state capitol
As far as I know, she is the first woman arrested bc of this law. The law requires that the trans person be warned to leave the bathroom by a state official, and then if they stay they are guilty of trespassing after a warning.
So like, me, my gf, others just piss and nobody asks or tells, but this young woman sent a statement about the law to over 100 FL lawmakers so they would know she was coming, the cops were ready for her, she brought a reporter and went in anyway and spent the night in a men's jail. She is out on bail, and is hoping this will inspire change of the law. But if found guilty, and the law is upheld as constitutional, then she could spend up to 60 days in a mens county jail.
I think it's important to know that this woman is a devout Catholic and is performing this act of civil disobedience as a profound act of faith (which I deeply respect, as someone whose Judaism vibes on the same wavelength). She brought a rosary with her and was planning on praying the rosary in the restroom after washing her hands if she was able to do so.
I also think it's important to know that she said in her letter that she knows that if she's sent to a men's prison that it is very likely that she will be raped.
