    There are jobs.

    Im a flight attendant and work 72 hrs a month, my husband is a professor and is in front of a class 60 hrs a month.

    (My husband and I certainly both came from privileged backgrounds (say middle class ish) and both got degrees that although our parents didn’t pay for they gave us resources - either way I wouldnt say our lifestyle is unobtainable)

    Having said all that…in general you’re correct. Our case is certainly an outlier. We can’t all be flight attendants

    Edit: our parents aren’t dead yet, but when they do pop off they each have a house we will get a share of (to your point)






  • There is a lot of conflicting information in the articles im finding about this incident, from her shouting and him running in to him entering the room with the technician, and the technician knew about the chain and had commented on it.

    Lmk if you need some examples, but theres a lot.

    Im (cynically) inclined to believe that the hospital were the first to give statements and did a quick its-not-our-fault response. Then more people were interviewed. Ill always side with the working class (imo everyone who is not ruling class) rather than the corporations. And in the US the hospital is a corporation for sure.

    There’s some gross racial spin surrounding this too, see pic below. It was a weighted padlock steel necklace for his weight training, not whatever is implied by yahoo.











  • She wasn’t even “promiscuous”. That absolutely shouldn’t Legally matter and doesn’t morally matter at all, but the physician wasn’t even going for low hanging fruit: she had been with the same man for 15 years and they had a 13yo together?? They were essentially married. Stfu dumb ass physician.

    I hope it goes all the way to the Supreme Court (not that she should have to) and I like to think if I ever met said physician I would suddenly recieve divine intervention that, morally, no doctors should have Achilles tendons.





  • My goodness! This is a lot for you to have to go through any day of the week, let alone also with depression. You’re doing great that you can talk about it, and I hope you have a community and/or friendship group to fill in the void she has created.

    Leaving (or even threatening to leave) you out of the will is super messed up, I hope you have siblings/family that would stand up for you, even if only after the fact.

    She may have her own mental issues or even past trauma that she’s projecting onto her relationship with you and your depression. I dont say that to excuse or justify her, just to acknowledge that you aren’t who she thinks you are, your depression isn’t what she thinks it is, and your journey is within your control (relatively speaking), not hers.

    Regarding the united states: we can’t really control it. However, we can control our own ‘back yards’. Find one thing, no matter how small, that you dont like and try to fix that in your life or your community. Something obtainable. (Eg, dont like single use plastics bc planet, dont want to pay for reusable bags bc oligarchs…then make reusable bags 🎉 - instructions Its ok to start small. 1000 people doing little things as a start is way better than a nobody doing anything because it ‘WoNt MaKe A dIfFeReNcE’
