Vomiting but when you’ve vomited up all that’s left so your in heaving pain and all that’s coming up is some bile and mucus and you wanna die. And you know your body will just do it again in twenty minutes.
Why yes, the fact that bodega customers living in food deserts in The Bronx often make poor shopping choices absolutely proves that the bodega itself is the marker of an unhealthy community. Also, correlation is causation!
When I moved to a new city a decade or so ago, my first real relationship to the place I had plopped myself down in was to the clerks at the corner shop in the neighborhood. We chatted every morning when I got my coffee, we practiced our various foreign languages on each other, they would ask about trips I had taken…
I couldn’t agree more. The fact that citizens have to donate to disaster relief and medical bills for their friends and strangers is proof that we’ve regressed back to “alms for the poor” medieval standards of social safety net.

If Cthulu doesn’t win, I’m calling it rigged.
To be fair, I get where they’re coming from. When my partner and I get married, we’re not going to be doing it for the enormous financial benefits, legal benefits or out of sheer love.
