I understand your struggles, I recall times when it was tough to get what I thought was good food. If I had known then what I know now.

Ugh...no no I absolutely love the food bank folks! I know they are doing their best with what they have and I am eternally grateful for it. We also have some amazing local companies that donate ugly produce that is still quite fresh, and surplus canned. I’ve written thank you letters to some of these. I especially…

The biggest client at my work is a hospital that opened a health and wellness center and clinic in the zip code with the highest rate of diabetes. They have free gym, cooking classes, clinic and because it’s in a food desert, they have a low cost farm stand. It’s really cool! But when I tell people about it, they note…

I’m so sorry. At the risk of sounding like a weird stranger post—and the fear that my blathering will start making it all about me—I just wanted to let you know that some (hopefully most) of the people who work at food banks are aware of the struggles that parents have to go through when confronted with the ‘gift’ of…

Thank you.I wasn’t looking for pats on the back, but to paint a picture that even what I do isn’t a reality for the urban and/or working poor,who simply don’t have the time, live in food deserts, or don’t have the knowledge that I do.

I’ve been poor, had a crap diet,so I sympathise. You are doing the very best you can. I hope things improve for you soon.

I tend to say that in the majority of human history, the poor were just literally starved to death. Whereas now, we have unhealthy, cheap, subsidized food where the poor are killed by diabetes or heart disease instead. And then blamed for it.

Every conversation about these issues should include a mention that the majority of Americans do not have access to any paid maternity leave and a troublingly large percentage aren’t eligible for unpaid FMLA leave. Not surprisingly, low wage workers & poc are disproportionately affected.  

I live in Québec and we have some of the most generous parental benefits in North America (a full year of leave at a reduced salary which can be used by either parent, comparatively cheap daycare). But I’m not here to brag, because even with all that in place it is HARD being a parent who works full time. For things…

Why the fuuuuuck do people still support this monster?

He thinks his life is totally normal if not the absolute best life, yet also knows his wife wouldn’t be sad if he died. He’s a fucking sad person. 

As someone who was married to a narcissist, and until fairly recently (and recent therapy) only dated narcissists, I can assure you that 1. he is not OK with her stepping out - she is his property and he is entitled to her absolute loyalty no matter what and 2. he constantly and consistently accuses her of adultery to…

This! He has never had a normal interaction with another human being in his life.

Do consider that Trump doesn’t understand that women have enough economic independence that we don’t have to marry creepy old men anymore. Unless we want to like Melania.

The sane ones among us would dance on his grave.

He didn’t buy her for her emotional depth. She’s a hot piece of ass and a fading hot piece of ass at that which should give her serious pause as Trump is not known for surrounding himself with old, used-to-be-hot women.

To him, marriage is a transaction and nothing more. He lacks the empathy and humility to understand that his point of view on marriage is not the norm, because people outside of Donald Trump aren’t really real to him.

Once again, dude just cannot stop himself from saying the quiet part out loud.

Does he really think that crying because your husband might imminently die is unusual? Really? This is almost more baffling than the whole sweeping the forests thing. Almost.

“I mean not many wives would react that way to tragedy, I know mine wouldn’t.”
