#POVERTY

2025-05-25

@paulhellyer @kottke
Until you’ve experienced #unemployment and living off someone’s generosity (whether family, friends or govt handouts) with all of the mental #health issues the experience entails, you’ve no idea of what life is about at the bottom.

The same can be said for life with #disabilities (if that is the appropriate word for it).

The same can be said for living below the #poverty line.

The same can be said for arbitrary #racial and #cultural divides.

Exposure is everything. Experience is everything. And if these are lacking, all you have to do is STFU and listen for a change.

These are my thoughts about the ‘comfortably well off’ class (with few exceptions, though I’ll admit, there are exceptions).

Forging thru the ashes of time, the snows melted, the seas rose, the fields burned, the wars waged on, people starved, people killed one another simply to live, as the Earth burned the wealthy and powerful grew ever more fearful, for the zombies have gone from slaughtering themselves to banding together to strip the top of its golden thrones, for there was no other choice, those left in charge had reached across the globe, and one by one they expelled their nukes, taking chaos into extinction, for there was no other way, most have now died, the few that remain, sick and time is short for their journey now, purged of evil and purged of all hope, man has found a way to force his last note.

Doing a repost each day 'cause we only have a week to go to get $307. We're poor and disabled. Jess is home from surgery, and we need help. Please.

We're looking into moving back to Canada, but right now we're barely scraping by, due to expensive medicine that keeps us functioning and alive.

Please help.

🌳🍋 🍎 Urban Orchards Bear Fruit for All 🍒 🌳 😀 👍

On the rise in cities nationwide, urban orchards—or even just a few native fruit-bearing trees—provide perennial food sources for humans and wildlife

Pivoting From Tax Cuts to Tariffs, Trump Ignores Economic Warning Signs

fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.nyti

President Trump has ignored repeated warnings that his agenda could worsen the debt, harm the poor and contribute far less growth than the White House contends.

Conducting the ‘broken orchestra’ of my life means surviving chronic pain, systemic neglect, and endless paperwork, while being told I’m ‘too complex’ for help.

My new piece on Medium is a call for true inclusion and understanding.

It is really a sad state of affairs when a #disabled man living in #poverty without any resources or people to actually count on, reaches out repeatedly for #help, only to be ignored, being disabled and living in poverty often means your #health is poor, your diet is poor, your access to the basics in #life are often beyond reach, and longer you go with out the simple things like #food to eat, personal #hygiene products, basic house hold supplies, increasing your spiral into disparity, and it's not that you want to be constantly begging for help, it's a matter of life, but far to many dismiss the cries for help and either assume someone else will help or there are other ways, but often if someone is putting it out there that they need help, it is because they actually need help, and because of the lack of support, their entire situation deteriorates faster than any possible support that could come in, leaving a sinkhole of needs and despair, it really truly is awful just how little #compassion people have for one another, especially since no one knows just when they may find their own life upon a sinking ship and needing a serious lifeline.

Nothing like experiencing progressively worsening stiffness and pain all over the body, along with increased weakness exhaustion and spells of extreme tiredness, a constant lower body temperature than normal as mine has been running between 95-96.8 deg, and blood pressure that has been all over the place mean time my pulse rate remains fairly normal around 60-68 resting and around 98 if I have been slightly active and in more pain, my weight has been holding between 250-260, I have noticed marked difference in weakened muscle strength, of course it does not help that being disabled and living in poverty, that both my “normal” physical activity is all ready reduces from that of a non-disabled person, but I also have years of very poor dietary nutrition as a result of lacking the money to have food on a day to day basis, and not being able to afford healthy food at all, getting older really does not help matters, as we age we decline in over all health as it is, now add poverty and disability and every year I age is more like 5-10 years for a “normal healthy” person.


This disabled man living in poverty desperately needs food, and no I cant get out to get any, I need to be able to complete my order on #instacart so I can get my #groceries delivered from #kroger but I don't have the $450 I am currently $350 away from what I need to complete the order and have food to eat for a few weeks, that does not even address the hygiene or household supplies, your help right now would be greatly appreciated, $5-10-15 It All Helps This #disabled Man Living In #poverty, via #cashapp at $woctxphotog or via #paypal at paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=…
