Hehehehe. Just laughing at the fact that people are shocked that people living on the edge are furious online.

Like, some of us are trying to figure out if we can stay in our apartments or will we be evicted.

Excuse us for not having the joy of a wine mom.
Not sure if I can buy my prescriptions next week, but I’m really sorry someone called you a scumbag.
“I’ll probably have my car repossessed which means I can’t get to work which means I’ll lose my job which means we’ll be evicted. But someone called you a shitlib and I can’t imagine what you’re going through.”
“I literally considered pulling my tooth out with pliers because I can’t go to a dentist and I’m in so much pain I’d like mike Tyson to hit me with a left hook to make it feel better.

But someone called you a bad word so let’s center your pain in the national conversation.”
“My dad died of a preventable and treatable condition but wasn’t old enough for Medicare and had no insurance. But you can’t go to brunch because of Trump, so I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.”
If you don’t understand why we’re angry then you clearly don’t care to understand our struggle.
I case you’re wondering, I can write these lines so convincingly because Each of them were literally me at some point.

And even if things are better, you don’t forget living on edge. And you get furious when we have the chance to change that only to see people bullshitting us
So yeah, you all should be grateful we’re organizing around the hope someone like Bernie gives us. Because the alternative is we could be organizing around the anger living on edge fosters.
