I am a disabled person with very little energy, which is used for the most basic things in life... so adding organization things to my life it won't unfortunately work for me. (^_^)*

I also live a fairly isolated life and have very few "real life" contacts left, so "people around me" counts as me...and my partner.

If I had the energy, I would try to usher change. But my lot seems to be to just make it day to day.

Please read all of these comments and wake up from your bubble dreams. Seriously.

We so not need this. We need, collectively, clean air, clean water, clean energy, clean food.

Invest to to saving the planet, not destroying it even faster, and invest to more trees, cooling the cities that are BURNING, making sure people can grow food locally, and bettering public services in EU countries.

Also prioritize fighting the clear rise of facism.
We beg of you.

Good news is that they pulled it.

Bad news is that during its run, META probably sucked all of the existing images that were in Instagram and fed them to their LLM with the excuse that there were people who hadn't turned their theft feature off, and that of course for them means that they agreed to have all of their shit stolen.

I would LOVE to make more vegetarian foods but whenever I do, it rarely tastes good. And I can't afford some of those fine ingredients like that special yeast thing that apparently makes stuff taste better but costs half a week's budget here.

And we would really need shoes for my partner, so we are going back to eating noodle packs to afford them... Which, are not healthy, but sure are cheap and edible for...not long. It gets gross to eat them for long.

@artemis
Also the vegetarian/vegan movement thing - I am all for people eating less animals, and all that, if they CAN do it - but when you are poor, it is really hard to experiment with new foods. If it tastes ass, you either eat it and hate every bite, starve, or need to cook something edible. Which in all cases was waste of money you don't have.

Compound to that any ailments that make cooking hard, or ingredients not suitable for your gut and you are about to find out after fucking around.

@artemis
I have been poor all my life. People who are even in middle class don't get why we don't just skimp more on food (which is where all of our money goes after rent, utilities, and bills) to get shoes, clothes, and even travel to places to enjoy Summer.

It fucking sucks to eat worse food, less food, and have no reprieve for months to afford a single day of "fun", that will also result in health crash.
They don't get it, with their closets full of unused clothes with tags still on them.
