I picked the first green bean of the season as a little treat and stuck it beside my seed packets while I planted some more starts. Gus has now stolen said green bean and deems it his most precious treasure. I guess it's his now. He's running around the house with it in his mouth between bouts of attacking it like it was a tiny snake. #gusTheCat #catsOfFedi #cats

@cobalt123 @mayintoronto I don't know anyone who could afford to live in an apartment by themselves, and I'm in my late 40s. It's depressing when you realize you've lived with roommates since you were 17, had supposedly decent jobs in design, engineering and the coast guard and never made enough to afford even your own studio apartment rental as a solo person. I kept trying to find a career that would pay more than $20/hr. I think I made more at 19 teaching choir in 1996 than I ever have in my life. It's profoundly depressing. And now I'm disabled and unable to work with basically nothing to show for it. I'm educated in multiple fields. There was no gain for any of it, just loads of unpaid overtime and 60hr weeks. I feel for young people. No one should sell them on this ever getting better without a fight.

@cobalt123 @mayintoronto And all that while being regularly verbally beaten by an older generation that just kept saying, "well, you're obviously not trying hard enough!"

@cobalt123 @mayintoronto "What are you doing with all your money?" "What money?! I'm excited when I can actually afford to buy cheese."

@mayintoronto @cobalt123 There's gotta be some joy in life, even if it involves flatulence!

@Nonilex Nothing like herding a bunch of seriously traumatized people like cattle into a situation that will continue to traumatize them further and more deeply to "fix" them. Sounds like a plan a bunch of old white guys came up with.

Housing is a human right, but stable housing should be a human right. I can't even begin to explain what having stable, reliable housing for the last year has done for my chronic ptsd and chronic illness. Everything has been better - Sleep, mental health, digestion, you name it.It breaks my heart that this is legitimately a massive privilege these days here in Canada. If you are a renter here in BC, there is no stability in your human right to housing. Our rental protections have been gutted for years and years. As someone who has gone through that process it helped absolutely nothing even when it was adjudicated in our favour.Nearly everyone I know lives in fear of eviction or homelessness. There is no real way to ever feel comfortable or at home. If you are disabled there is nothing available that will allow you housing at this point other than a 7-14 year waitlist, or family unless you've already been in the system for years.This is completely lost on older generations most of the time. We are powerless in the face of wealthy landlords who will do whatever the fuck they want with next to no retribution for any of it. Stable housing should be a human right. An ability not to feel like a leaf in the wind who pays 75% of your income to subsidize a wealthy land owner. Life shouldn't have to be this awful.

Had a cry after dividing my rhubarb this morning because I might actually be around to see it grow and divide it again in a couple of years and I want this for everyone I know. I've spent nearly 35 years moving constantly as have my friends. Building and holding community is so hard when we get flung around to anywhere we might possibly be able to afford, but even that isn't a possibility for most of my friends anymore because with every move you need to save even more to be able to move again. And living somewhere where you could socialize or enjoy yourself without getting evicted has been lost for most people. God forbid you host a birthday party or dinner.

Repost of a bluesky post. Apologies, but an apt description.

Thank you Mastodon, for enabling me to block grown men who still think like 8 year olds. No one on earth has time for that shit anymore.

The single worst legacy of Zuckbook and Shitter was the ingrained belief that everyone should have to listen to your opinion like they were blocked in a coat closet at a party.

@Nonilex He seems to have hired Turkmenistan's interior designer.
