That guilt you feel about not being able to support every GoFundMe for folks who are suffering?

That’s actually rage at a corrupt system refusing to support its people - a rage carefully steered away from the system so you struggle with yourself & not with the institutions that deserve it

I'll always remember how, right from the beginning of the pandemic, all the public announcements emphasised how many of the people killed had pre-existing conditions.

As if people with pre-existing conditions weren't full people, weren't just as full of life, just as loved as anyone else.

94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies.

The average Wall Street employee got a $176,500 bonus last year.

Something has gone terribly wrong.
Teachers in the U.S. will spend an estimated $3.35 billion of their own money on classroom supplies in the 2024-25 school year.

The average teacher will spend $883.60.
