While we're at it: using language that downplays genocide is a form of genocide denial.
Joe Biden isn't doing a bad job, Joe Biden is providing material support for genocide.
Israel isn't handling the situation badly, Israel is committing genocide.
Employing euphemisms minimizes the reality of this genocide. It's disrespectful and dangerous.
If you are more uncomfortable with the word genocide than you are with the reality of genocide, then you are not prepared to be part of any serious discussion. Work on that on your own time.

not to be on my old bullshit again but i'm so terrified of the future.... to give u a quick summary, on the 6th of april my boyfriend started suffocating me and later depraved me of liberty because he wanted to make me his wh0re so he doesn't have to work, saying my only way to escape would be jumping off the balcony at the third floor and breaking bones while doing it. this situation lasted only a while and i managed to escape, but because of the trauma i had to resign from my new job after a week of training because i can't think straight. i am looking for a less demanding job, but it's borderline impossible to get any in my town + i've been unemployed since the beginning of january and i'm not eligible for any sort of benefits. i'm waiting for a spot at an outpatient psych clinic to deal with what happened so i can eventually go back to that job (the boss said i can do it when i feel better) but it will be weeks and i have time until the 5th of may to move out and start my life from scratch again as it's probably the day my ex(?) boyfriend leaves the hospital. also i'm so scared of being homeless and slipping back into selective mutism, i don't want it, especially now that i have to be stronger than ever before and idk what to do without any money so if u can help me in any way i would be very very grateful 🩶🪽

During the most poor and homeless period of my life, I had a lot of people get angry with me because I spent $25 on Bath and Body Works candles during a sale. They couldn’t comprehend why the hell I would do that when I had been fighting for months to try and get us on our feet, afford food, and have an apartment to live in.
Those candles were placed beside wherever I slept that night. In the morning, I would move them and set them wherever I’d have to hang out. At one point I carried one around in my purse - one of those big honking 3-wick candles. I never lit them, but I’d open them and smell them a lot.
I credit that purchase with a lot of my drive that got me to where I am today. I had been working tirelessly, 15+ hour days with barely any reward, constantly on the phone or trying to deal with organizations and associations to “get help at”. It’d gone on for almost a year by the end of it, and I was so burnt out, to the point that I would shake 24/7. But I could get a bit of relief from my 3-wick “upper middle class lifestyle” candles. They represented my future goals, my home I wanted to decorate, and how I would one day not be in this mess anymore.
When we moved into the apartment, and our financial status improved, I burned those candles every single day. When they were empty, I cleaned them out, stuck labels on them, and they became the starting point of my really cute organization system I had ALWAYS planned to have.
So whenever I hear about someone very poor getting themselves a treat - maybe it’s Starbucks, maybe it’s a home deco item, maybe it’s a video game… I don’t judge them. I get it. I get that you can’t go without anything for that long without it making you go crazy. You need to pull some joy, inspiration, and motivation from somewhere.

EMERGENCY COMMS OPEN!
Reblogs are also greatly appreciated! :")
Making a new mini post since none of my others are being seen and we haven't been able to get alot of help thus far, and I'm getting worried since we're three days late to paying now. I'm hoping to get at least 50$ tonight to cover the room for two of the days. We'd need 120$ to cover everything but 50 would give us enough to put down and stay here. We only have an hour and 30 mins left. If we can't stay here, I'm genuinely not sure what we'll do.
I have commissions open in case anyone would like to bump/share or help us out that way. You can find my commission prices on my pinned post or here. Any sort of help we could get would really mean a lot since it's been a very tough last few days for my family and I. I'll have some examples below.

So, there's a lot of USians around who are very clearly fucking fed up with their political choices this election cycle, and planning to sit it out.
And I get it! What's the point of voting if there's no one to vote for?
The thing is, I'm Australian. In Australia, voting is compulsory. We don't get to sit out our elections, and I'll be real honest with you - we don't exactly get better choices than you lot. So how do you vote if there's no one to vote for? You find someone to vote against. And there's always someone to vote against.
Now, we have the pleasure of preferential voting in Australia - We get to rank every candidate from 1 to X, and I'll tell you, there's something so cathartic about putting the biggest bastard of the lot at the very bottom of your preferences. I understand that USians don't get that option - you get to mark one person, and that's it.
That means that you get one shot, so aim it at the biggest bastard of the lot. The candidate you most utterly detest. Put your vote in the worst possible place for them. Don't even think about who that vote's going towards, that's not the point. Remember, every vote is a vote against someone. Make sure you fuck up that someone's election day!
