a dreamer stuck in time

in case anyone's wondering, the maximum ssi amount in 2026 is $993 a month. they cut that if you get any other money from any other source at all. like, if someone tries to give you money for christmas presents or you try to do some work for uber so you can save up for something, ssi will take it out of your monthly amount so you basically never go over $993. they really, really hate us.

Yeah… that’s an issue here in the Netherlands too. You’re kinda stuck at 70% or minimum wage. This is survivable but not livable. Having someone living at the same adres means they have to provide for you, even if they’re just a roommate. So you have to live alone and spend ~50% of your income on rent. It’s nowhere near as bad as the US but it still sucks.

ive invented (note: dubious claim) something i call the bear diet which is mostly fruits and vegetables with fish as the main protein source and something like once a month you eat a few hyperprocessed foods of your liking because that is when you, the bear, raid a dumpster in the suburbs

after the hyperprocessed foods, do you take tranquilizers to simulate getting captured by animal control and returned to the wild?

i would settle for melatonin gummies but well. knock yourself out

happy pride I'm glad I'm gay I'm glad you're gay I'm glad we're both gay and alive

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

the weird thing about being a leftist is the government calling you a radical extremist and your family believing that youre a radical extremist and the whole times your main political beliefs are shit like "we live in a world where we could very easily end world hunger, homelessness, most disease, poverty, ect. and the people in power are choosing not to, and thats evil and should change" and that bigotry is bad

I would argue that palms being, like, botanically not trees is no reason they couldn't be trees in spirit enough for there to be a palm tree Ent. This is Tolkien, we're relying on vibes not scientific rigor.

sometimes I reblog a post only to see the cool blog I’m trying to Get With also posted it further down and I could have reblogged it from them to keep up my months long wooing strategy of showing up in their notifications occasionally and now I gotta start all over

i like how hannibal gets a whole tragic orphan forced cannibalism backstory set in a gothic childhood castle to explain why he’s like that but for will it’s just uhh yeah well my mom left and we were poor so now i’m the freak of the fucking century
