OK, better try to catch up on some sleep, and hope I get up feeling less dreadful. I’ve been putting it off, holding out some hope that I might magically get even vaguely able to do a couple of things that really need done.
Nope, frustrating as it may be. Hopefully later, but this really isn’t doing anybody much good.
I wanted to re-illustrate the Gulf Coast Jaguarundi since it is the animal that inspired me to start this series. The Jaguarundi is a small cat closely related to the cougar but similar in appearance to an otter or weasel. Not much is known about the Jaguarundi, therefore people are not aware of it’s existence which is a big contributing factor to it’s declining numbers. I hope to raise some awareness for this animal and other species living in the U.S./Mexico border area that would be negatively impacted by a border wall. #gulfcoastjaguarundi #jaguarundi #illustration #nowall #noborderwall #cat #endangeredspecies #conservation
TIL that Domino’s dropped its “30 minutes or less” guarantee in the US in 1993 after a series of lawsuits accused the company of promoting unsafe driving.
basically anyone who really shames people for buying their kids shoes or for buying themselves a manicure while poor doesnt understand poverty
poor people often have a lot of disposable income, more than you think, cause they live on cash
they often do not have any means of transforming that cash into assets or into longterm wealth
so yes i had a lot of toys and nice things as a poor kid because you can buy toys at the dollar store too
and like you can pay a lady 10 dollars in cash to do your nails professionally
but you really cannot scrimp, at least not anymore (maybe decades ago you could) to buy yourself a house or to invest in stocks or other things that guarantee financial protection
poor people are liquid- thats why they may have material goods including nice cell phones but they broke ass will always be broke
hell, even banks and financiers EXPLOIT the liquidity of poor people; cash advance places in the hood and the proven empirical facts that cash deposits from banks in low-income neighborhood go towards major investments and are used as liquid assets by big businesses
keeping poor people in cash and banks in poor neighborhoods are major transfers of wealth in this economy
so please spare me your policing of some lady who decided to get some shoes
Basically, the working poor can afford small pleasures but cannot afford massive shifts in their situations (like moving out your old neighborhood) cus the cost would cripple them.
“In the statement—which
the Missouri NAACP chapter first released back in June—the civil rights
organization cites the state’s recent spate of hate-fueled attacks,
alleged racist policing, and high-profile cases in which minorities were
killed as a reason for people to avoid traveling there. It also touches
on data showing black drivers are 75 percent more likely to be pulled
over in the state, as well as a new bill that would make it more difficult for individuals to win lawsuits alleging discrimination.”
