Last week was a #shitty week to be my kid.
Lost under all the drama about the #assassination of a public figure was the #massshooting at a school. And the continued #InstitutionalDiscrimination against #trans folk by #USA government. And the kid's attempts to adjust from #middleschool to #highschool. And the kid's #anxiety about their own body being amplified by #physicaleducation class.
So no, we're not fucking fine, thank you very much. No thanks to a #fascist #federalgovernment.
There's a reason I point people to that link and https://www.gov.uk/universal-credit/what-youll-get for the poors in general.
If you, Brit or fellow non-Brit stuck here sans a more accessible better option,
lost your job, then
what would the government deign you capable of living on?
Could you live on that?
What would you have to give up?
Who would you have to stop meeting?
How long could you live like that?
What else would you do with your time?
How will you pay for that?
How will you explain to the job centre staff why you chose to do that instead of Finding A Job, You Scrounger?

If you have a racist friend
Now is the time, now is the time for your friendship to end
Be it your best friend
Or any other
Is it your husband or your father or your mother?
Tell them to change their views
Or change their friends
