The House is set to vote Tuesday on forcing the release of the Epstein files.

Normalize telling people what they mean to you. Big things or small. The person that helps you think about things differently or the pet posts that make you smile for a minute. You won’t loose cool points for being sincere. I promise.

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

🛑 Stop telling chronically ill people: “Feel better soon!” “You don’t look sick!” “Just think positively!” “You just need a good night of sleep!” “Stop complaining, we all have pain!” “You’re too young to be so sick!” “You’re on too many medications!”

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

I just want to feel like a priority, not a burden. #ChronicIllness #EndOfLife #Grief #Alone

The Wind is a cat That prowls at night; Now in the valley, Now on the height. It claws at the clouds, Till it fringes their silk; And laps up the dusk Like a saucer of milk. Then, under the stars, Preening its fur, Curls down for a nap And purrs and purrs. -Ariel
