RIP to a legend. If you haven't read it Nickel and Dimed is an amazing book.

I read Nickel and Dimed back when I worked at Kmart and I felt vaguely annoyed at how it felt like a poor person safari. she was right about wages and unions and poo poo tho, so rip

Listen, I've been around a bit, you know, and I thought I'd seen some creepy things go on in the movie business, but I really have to say this is the most disgusting thing that's ever happened to me.
fuckin deep state cleaning up all the dissidents from the last revolutions

RIP to a real one, can't wait to read the nonsense coroner's report

It does feel like that but like the experiences she was having on that safari were blowing her mind and I don't think there are too many comfortable old libs who would sign up for that safari anymore, even for a week or a day

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

I read it when I was a shithead libertarian teen and hated it, but then I had to actually work a minimum wage job and realized she was basically right about everything, so maybe I should give it another try

quote:

In 1970, Ehrenreich gave birth to her daughter Rosa in a public clinic in New York. "I was the only white patient at the clinic, and I found out this was the health care women got," she told The Globe and Mail newspaper in 1987, "They induced my labor because it was late in the evening and the doctor wanted to go home. I was enraged. The experience made me a feminist."

i did the math that gail sings in that song and i'm pretty sure it doesn't make sense

$310/week=$1240/month

her bills added up to $960, so she would have $280 left not $25

but that's some nerdy who-gives-a-poo poo stuff on my part, a little bit
