Foundationless Confidence

Unpopular but true: a large reason why grocery store are empty now isn’t just because there’s a bunch of greedy, awful people panic everything in sight to spite others. Sure, there’s some hoarding assholes, but a lot of it is people realizing they will now need over a month’s worth of groceries in one go when they might usually only buy enough to last them a week, maybe two, and people who can no longer supplement with going out, people who are now eating three meals at home when usually their kids eat lunch at school and they have lunch at the office… that’s a hell of a lot more food than most families need to have on hand, including people who normally never cook and just grubhub everything. The food supply chains will hopefully stabilize a bit in the coming weeks - just wanted to point out it’s not all malicious and people aren’t as awful as is being said. I’m under self imposed quarantine, social distancing, working from home and staying away from others. Hoping all of you guys are safe and feeling ok.

Huh. Hadn’t thought about it like that before

#we should all try to be critical and thoughtful when encountering narratives that suggest that humanity is inherently selfish #or promotes the perspective of viewing your community as a hoard that you’re separate from#cause these beliefs really do limit your ability to trust in your neighbors and establish mutual aid networks &#make you more susceptible to eugenics propaganda#criticize individuals behaving badly or even specific behavior that is widespread- but when it comes to criticizing ‘humanity’ or whatever#be careful and think about what you actually mean#I saw someone criticizing getting 3 months of meds & like I normally get my meds in 3 month batches as of like a year ago#cause I’ve been consistently on the same meds for like half a decade#and also I don’t know if I’ll even be able to see my psychiatrist in the coming months (via @closet-keys​)

also there are people buying for more than one household!! i’ve come accross a number of customers who were on the phone with their immunosuppressed family and friends—trying to figure out what they need so they can get it to them without their loved ones being put at risk!!

This is gonna sound fucked up but i love tight grapes. You know what I mean when the grape is nice and tight and ur incisors pierce thru them like needles popping a balloon

surface tension is literally the most important quality of a grape end of discussion

Please just call it crunchy I'm begging
