unsung benefit i think a lot of ppl are sleeping on with using the public library is that i think its a great replacement for the dopamine hit some ppl get from online shopping. it kind of fills that niche of reserving something that you then get to anticipate the arrival of and enjoy when it arrives, but without like, the waste and the money.

By analyzing the Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Finances, CAP found that in 2022, union households held $338,482 in median wealth. Meanwhile, nonunion households had $199,948. Being in a union also substantially chips away at racial and educational wealth gaps, per CAP's analysis. Black, nonunion households have a median household wealth of $61,500; meanwhile, Black union households hold around $164,6000 in median household wealth. Black workers are also more likely than workers of other races to be in a union, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, with their union membership rates outpacing their white, Asian, and Hispanic counterparts. Unions particularly pay off for workers without a high school degree and again seem to be bridging educational wealth gaps, per the data. The median wealth of union members without a high school degree is over three times that of nonunion workers without a high school degree — $69,510 compared to $22,800 respectively.

Unions work, Unionize.

I’m gonna be honest I do not care if a trans boy teen is annoying and has horrible taste in music y’all are just mean.

I’d rather hang around with Karkat who listens to Cavetown than someone who is mean.

a genuine gut-busting laugh from me at Justin McElroy’s solution to the AI problem: “Just turn em off.”

maybe. possibly. there's like one person and she's already busy being the adult brain for pretty much every other person who lives in my house, is the thing, and. i don't know. it seems like this specific thing is so deeply low priority underneath stuff like. A Regular Actual Checkup, or Going To The Dentist For The First Time, or ANY sort of therapy and antidepressants. but also it's possible that i'm just exhausted after a long week and having a hard time seeing solutions instead of just walls and excuses. and i do appreciate the advice even if im a little bit useless at the moment

you may be able to access HRT through Planned Parenthood, if you have those nearby—not all of them do HRT but many do. they list which services they offer at each specific place online, and if they have "gender-affirming care" on the list they do HRT.

This is true! and excellent!!! and i am SO glad that they do this. however when i say "i haven't been to a doctor in any capacity since college" in my case that literally means since.... 2011? possibly earlier? and i don't have the first clue how to fix my brain to begin changing that. i could explain WHY the normal adult task of Making An Appointment With An Doctor is apparently impossible for me but that's a whole other kettle of trauma that we don't super need to get into. boils down to none parenting with left autism but y'know.

#elle babbles #idk idk idk idk idk #also part of the problem is combination. i can't make appointments im terrified of unknown social situations i can't even FUCKING drive.

related to being tipsy. i think i wanna get on low dose T but i also know that i haven't even been to a GREGULAR doctor since i got dermatitis in college so the chances of that actually manifesting basically ever are approaching zero.

#tragic #AND t is apparently hard to access. apparently. idk it's hard to tell most trans hrt resources i've found have been mtf oriented #elle babbles
