There are many souls every year that die without anyone at their side or without a penny to their name. What has society done to take care of those who have no one to take care of them when they pass on?
Ask anyone about the cost of a funeral and they’ll probably say it’s much too high. What about those of us who live and subsequently die bel
💸 Here are some common synonyms for “poor”:
indigent
destitute
insolvent
penurious
necessitous
impecunious
“Are we not most indigent when we are at our most secure; at our wealthiest, when we are most imperiled--and is this not the main point: to be ever in quest of new dangers; is there not a whiff of death and decay around all institutions in which life, as against the mechanism of life, is treated slightingly; in public offices, state schools, the smooth functioning of religious affairs, etc.?”
Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Buch der Freunde (The book of friends), 1922.

Work inside a small DOJ office that helps indigent immigrants get legal aid stalls after personnel shuffle
The Justice Department program that accredits nonprofit organizations to help provide legal aid to low-income immigrants has failed to approve a single new application since March— after its attorneys were quietly reassigned to other offices, sources with direct knowledge of the program told CBS News. A month ago, the small group of senior attorneys who operated the Recognition and Accreditation…
Capitalism, Parasites, and a Whole Lot of Body Horror
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Indigent is the kind of horror that crawls under your skin—sometimes literally—and then refuses to leave. Set in a struggling Atlanta housing complex where residents are mysteriously disappearing, the story mixes brutal body horror with sharp social commentary about poverty, healthcare, and communities that society tends to ignore. When handyman Xavier encounters something deeply wrong in the building, the story spirals into a tense, surreal nightmare about survival and the systems that fail the people who need them most.
I’m giving it four stars because while the horror is intense (seriously, this one is not for the squeamish), it’s also incredibly thoughtful. The book blends parasitic creature horror with real-world anxieties about class inequality, gentrification, and medical trauma, which makes the dread hit even harder. It’s messy, visceral, and sometimes deeply uncomfortable, but in that way where you can’t stop thinking about it afterward. If you’re into socially conscious horror with heavy body-horror vibes and a story that has something real to say, this one is definitely worth checking out.
