Not to mention that sometimes people have money/a job, and can afford an iPhone. And then lose that job/money, and no longer have, say, health insurance or enough cash for a doctor, etc.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
And I should either be at a doctor's appointment or sitting around going "Nope. Not walking today, either." But still manage to have the kind of attitude that lights up a room, like crips on TV have.

Yup. Again, choir. I don't understand how people think that if you're poor/unemployed/underemployed/uninsured, then you MUST be a street urchin or else FUCK YOU.

Oh, god, the "I don't deserve to take up space" feeling. It's taken decades to finally give a name to the thing that made me hesitate to do things for myself until I do stupid things because I feel angry and deprived. Now I just need to find the way to undo that feeling.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Is taking Valium with coffee counterproductive? Because the idea was to calm down without falling asleep.
Today I told my boss that I'm a delicate flower and I can't handle all this stress. She laughed. I don't know if she understands me real well, or not at all.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Trust my rage
I feel like last year, I was the perfect example of the iPhone/no health insurance thing. I had a house, a nice phone, a business, and no insurance and no income. Shocking!

Our wings are not tired.
And try getting a job without a cellphone or nice clothing to wear for an interview.

Has anyone heard from Maria since yesterday? As of 23 hours ago she was still feeling awful running almost a 102 degree fever, and I don't know if she has anyone to bring her soup and meds and take her to urgent care or her doctor if she needs it.

I haven't seen her post on FB but she might be sleeping.
