Covid disabled me hardcore & I can't work like I used to. So I've been getting some food stamps to help. But Biden has ended the Covid emergency, so my monthly benefit is now $60. $60. Soon I'll have no food. I'm not ashamed of needing help; being abandoned to go hungry should be a crime. We can draw a direct line from them saying the pandemic is over to this abandonment. I'm sick of this shit, it's literal shit. Elders, kids, disabled abandoned - textbook eugenics. I tell my story not for pity but to resist how these systems are erasing us.

The truth is, the less I have, the less my community has. I make fewer meals for senior & disabled friends, feed my pets less, feed stray cats less, feed birds less, it's LESS all around. Less heat, more cold, less health; more pain, isolation, suffering. More doctors, less work. Less writing, music, pleasure. Everything is connected and impacted. I ask for help so I can give it. I'm a spoke on the wheel. If I can't eat, the wheel slows. Help me, help the wheel. This is true for all of us. We must keep helping each other however we can 💘
