unFun Fact 4: It’s not easy being poor. It’s costly. You’re scrutinized. The idea that people “want” to be poor in a society built on money with virtually no safety-net is a made-up fatasy.

✨ STOP GATEKEEPING FOOD FROM THE POOR ✨

unFun Fact 3: The average SNAP benefit (for qualified recipients) in FY 2024 was $187.20/mo.

Not exactly a lot to feed the poorest of our neighbors.

(3/4)

unFun Fact 2: It’s difficult to meet work requirements—even when working—because the types of jobs available in the low-wage labor market can’t meet SNAP’s harsh requirements.

Fun Fact: SNAP benefits act as a stabilizer during recessions, by providing an automatic stimulus to the economy.

Recognizing that it could be YOU—really that humans are fundamentally of equal dignity—is how we do better for each other, collectively.

So yes, all people deserve to be housed, have healthcare, & living wages.

Ok, but can you send me one because I want be involved in some quirky accident involving these. 🤣

(Also I’m a nerd & curious for the lols 🤓)

“Climb every f**king mountain.” 🏔️ 🎵

I LIVED & studied in France. Still not fluent. I used to call myself “semi-fluent” but like…that’s still not fluent-fluent.

15 mins?!

More like YEARS + immersion + actually enjoying it.

(I need to get my French back. 😭)

Since this seems to have been missed my most:

The Hypertention Alerts (or what people are referring to as blood pressure monitoring) are NOT exclusive to Apple Watch Series 11.

They, along with the sleep score, will be on Series 9 and Series 10 as well as Apple Watch Ultra 3 and 2. #Apple

Absolutely. In fact, I like the design of the 10/11 better than the 9 and earlier.

But the neural engine (which was introduced with the 9) is a welcome improvement.

Definitely worth it from an S7! 😊

Yeah, I mean…I do something like that… 😏

Why is this so precious?! 🥹

Regardless: I don’t want more suffering. This isn’t “revenge.” I want restoration. I want my life.

The status quo destroys me—as it does to others like me. It protects public figures and, in the process, allows this to happen over and over.

I’m sorry my personhood is an inconvenience.

One should not be able to systematically destroy someone’s life while claiming they “tried” when the “trying” was a painful campaign of dehumanization. Of control over meaning, truth, reality, language, and time.

Was I not human? Just an object? Where was my right to make informed choices?

This silence isn’t “self-protective” or neutral. Responsibility (ethically) doesn’t evaporate because one has the privilege to ignore others and let the system wreak havoc and drown them out.

The lack of understanding is a choice. Selective amnesia doesn’t erase the written record or the response to it: denial, avoidance, etc. it doesn’t erase the severe impacts.

Turning away from the facts doesn’t make them not exist—that goes for those who have enabled this via a culture of silence.

It’s convenient to present as a neutral/safe person—profiting of it & blurring the public/private divide. It’s wild to ignore one’s public figure status, as it was used—along with false statements—to gain, encourage, and maintain trust, safety, & connection.

Using someone as a means to your own ends for such a long period, taking advantage of their known vulnerabilities & relational power dynamics, and doing so in writing, so much that chronic dissociation and retr—mitization continues to this day is no small feat.

It’s also relevant to note that “stringing someone along” isn’t close to describing the sustained (and apparently intentional) pattern of psychological manipulation and expl—tation that many would call 3 years of a—se.

Even without the s*xual aspect, this would scream for actually repair.
