#RegulatoryCapture: instead of using a settlement to #electrify homes impacted by a massive #gasleak, SoCalGas will get a break, the CEC will extend the license to operate turbines whose #EnvironmentalJustice health impacts are in #lowincome #communities, and everyone will wait for Federal Inflation Reduction Act to replace methane appliances.

#EnvironmentalTerrorism: The data not only shows yet another example of #racist and often #deadlypolicing in Los Angeles, Kite said; it reveals a pointed example of how #racistpolicing furthers #climate and #environmentalinjustice in America. “They might seem separate, but they are all tied together because of the way that #oppression and root #harm works,” she said.

#CarbonBombs #ExterminateCulture: #Nuiqsut is the village most impacted by the #WillowsProject. Community members have been speaking out for years about the effects #development is having on the #health of its people, animals, the Teshekpuk caribou, and #SacredLand. It is an attempt to break the importance of our life and #culture into fragments that are each a mere technical problem to be solved so the project can go forward. #FossilFuel #DisposablePeople #DesigningSegregation

Good morning, everyone! My latest #MentalIllness-oriented #substack drivel has just dropped, further exploring my long-winded philosophy about my wildly unrealistic ideas of a #MutualAid-focused, #MLM organization tailored specifically for #DisposablePeople like me who struggle with #MentalHealth and regular employment, as well as the #neurodivergent, #disabled, #marginalized, or really anyone else who would like to take part in something for the greater good of society instead of the greater good of greedy, wealth-hoarding supervillains!
"Whether we like it or not, we are all part of a global village, and it’s about damned time we tried to act like it."
My #substack posts are great for curing insomnia or as a supplement to the entertaining past-time of watching paint dry. Enjoy!

Morning everyone! Regrettably, I must once again plead for monetary assistance from strangers. Yes, it's another #MutualAid request.
My partner is still struggling with what is likely severe fatigue from #LongCovid and/or covid-induced diabetes (glucose monitor should be arriving today, and we're researching what options if any for LC consultation in our area) and while I'm faring a bit better than him, I'm still dealing with minor #fatigue problems as well as the ever-delightful effects of my constant #MentalHealth companion, #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder.
All of these factors combine to cause a huge loss of income for us; we're essentially #DisposablePeople in our society because we're not being "productive" enough thanks to #MentalIllness and medical challenges - even though we WANT to be productive. Hooray for capitalism!
But I digress. I'm sorry we need your help again; we're almost out of dog food, and my car insurance is about to lapse. Of course I need my car to get to work, and legally it needs to be insured to do so.
If you are willing AND able to contribute so we can at the very least keep our portly #BorderCollie fed, my partner and I would be deeply grateful. We've had some insanely generous people here on the #Fediverse but I hope we can find a few more to help us get by a little longer.
Thank you all for contributing, boosting, and providing emotional support & encouragement. It means the world to our little queer family.

My newest #substack article in a long-winded series about my ideas for the concept of a #WorkerCooperative MLM designed for #DisposablePeople like me who struggle with traditional employment.
"Capital gains at any cost on a quarterly balance sheet seems as much a madness as a tumor depleting the resources until the rapid, uncontrolled expansion kills both it and the host."

@dalfen Thank you. #DisposablePeople / #DisposablePerson is my attempt to call attention to cultural attitudes that sometimes seem quite prevalent that some people aren't "worth" saving or helping because they're the "other". For instance, the phrase "Anyone who works hard deserves a decent quality of life". This seems to indirectly imply that people who *don't* or *can't* work hard are less deserving. I suspect a lot of folks who *don't* work in reality *could*, if circumstances were different.

Greetings, everyone! As my partner and I struggle with basic human existence right now thanks to #LongCovid, I continue plodding along on my weird #substack tangents in between bouts with #fatigue unlike I've ever experienced before.
This is the next installment leading (eventually) to my theory of marrying #MutualAid to #MLM, with the hope of prolonging a reasonably decent quality of life for #DisposablePeople like me.
Please peruse at your leisure. Thank you!

@maggiejk Trust me, I understand not having disposable cash right now. You're right.. it's terrible that it's the 21st century and we have anyone living on the streets or not able to access basic health care.
Once enough of us are fully disabled #DisposablePeople, I'm sure we'll start working on population reduction. And the whole time, the powers that be will look around bewildered that jobs are still unstaffed.
It's not worth catching it again.. but what else do we do?
It's been 3 weeks since my partner and I both started to show #covid symptoms, and still we're both struggling to function. I worked a full shift on Tues, slept all but six hours the next day, and did a fair amount of napping yesterday. I'm about to go in for another full shift today and I feel so overwhelmed with #fatigue I want to cry.
My partner's experiencing similarly. I don't know how we're going to make it. #DisposablePeople

@therobburgessshow It's just one more small step in making the vast majority of us into #DisposablePeople.
@LibertyForward1 @mekkaokereke #DisposablePeople - exactly.
"A few sacrifices will need to be made in order to keep the economy running" is total bullshit.
The Government is literally committing slow motion economic suicide.
There must be a standard age where people avoid ye on #SocialMedia. I passed that age over a decade ago methinks. Like "Why is this auld ugly creeper online and nae in a grave where he belongs?" Fortunately I hae spent most of mah life talking tae mahsel, so it's just anur day fa me. #aging #DisposablePeople
