People think that when you become disabled, support magically appears

That once it’s “official” you will have your basic needs met

The truth is people fight for years to get the bare minimum in benefits

Caregivers are nearly impossible to find

If you’re not rich or very lucky… you’re on your own

That being said … Dolly is still getting my prayers because I want her to be well and she is a light in this world 🦋

“I didn’t mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious … She’s been a little under the weather and I simply asked for prayers bc I believe so strongly in the power of prayer. It was nothing more than a little sister asking for prayers for her big sister. Thank you all for lifting her up.”

Latinas earn only 51 cents for every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men.

This wage gap isn't just unfair, it's an injustice, and Latinas deserve equal pay for equal work.

Feral Lady, hater
Of all things. Now she seeks pets
Purring on my lap.

temporarygoodbye.bsky.social @temporarygoodbye.bsky.social · 28m

I have 4 cats, now
They are softly wonderful
Sharp of foot and tooth

Whiskey, the calico
Napping on her tall cat tree
On the topmost bed

Brandy, tuxedo
Sleek athlete, runs, jumps, pounces
She teases the dogs

Pickle, flame point boy
Orange of brain. Confused.
Very pretty like Joey

I first read Friday when I was in I think 7th grade and it was the first time that I felt myself represented anywhere in literature. So for me despite all his flaws he's always going to be the one who saw me. I didn't hate myself as much because of what I saw in his writing.

Fun game: ask your local public defender friend if they've ever had a case in which a person was accused of gang membership and the gang was "antifa"

I'll start

NO because that's not actually a thing anywhere
