Hey if it helps. I would plan for over a year of tight fiscal spending and ecorage your neighbors to do the same (through not participating in consumer leasuir) so to ideally to triangulate pressure even more pressure on the industry. Possibly on the worker class end by refusing service to those people who are making those decisions service not to give them fair pay. Out right deny and shun. No matter the cost.
It's crazy that these strikes are happening given that all the writers and actors are asking for is less than 0.3% of the revenue these studios make.
#guys keep it up#buy food in bulk#make fejuata and beans#buy bags of cheep chicken if your in Chicagoland get creative#buy on sale like fruit… maybe tale a drive and pay for a cow to be prossed and ahare the meat with other strikers.#eat three sisters with cheep meat#and frozen veggies#:n drinking is expensive…. so keep at an extreme mentality aim for up to a year or more of fiscal spending#also if you have not in the idrustry encorage them to the same of not going out drinking or eating out over all consuming money#for other indrustrys to put pressure on

kim is such a funny little guy like he emphasizes how little the rcm salary is when you ask about it (5500 reál annually- 460/mo) but here he is with his nice electronic sports watch and his little instant camera and his fancy revolutionary cosplay for plainclothes and he's living in the GRIH which can't be cheap and he's got his fancy little mnemotechnique notebooks which are like the moleskine of elysium i guess and his fancy little ballpoints that he does NOT want to share with you which i bet is because they cost him like a week of salary. and this is the rcm he's not getting stipends for supplies or watches or housing or probably even the gas for the kineema. poor as fuck but he is going to buy himself his little treats god damn it. if he lived in our world you know he'd be out getting himself a $9 vanilla soy milk half caf dirty chai iced latte every morning on the way to the station and eating instant noodles every night to claw out room in the budget for it
#'kim is a black coffee kind of guy' false he drinks black coffee at work solely for appearance#given the choice he's like the typical iced latte extra caramel sauce 27 pumps of vanilla and whipped cream type of girlie#he won't admit it though. so he drinks it black at work. with one (1) sugar if he's feeling zesty#kim buying himself extremely nice and overpriced notebooks every couple weeks justifying it with 'it's for work'#he will justify any purchase to himself with 'it's for work' wherever possible#which results in insane feats of mental gymnastics. and yes that would include the $9 soy chai lattes#harry is broke bevause he spends r400 a month on booze.#kims budget is r110 kineema gas and mods r150 stationery r150 rent r20 pen ink refills r20 tailoring supplies and r10 food & misc#creature of pride indeed. love you kim#kiwipost#kk meta#kim kitsuragi#harry makes fun of the expensive pens until he writes with one then hes like no yeah this is a nice pen. im sorry for ever doubting you#actually even better if harry thinks its shitty. he'd prefer the cheap dollar store bulk pack 50c plastic ones#kim gets really defensive of his pens too. unreasonably defensive. personal insults may or may not be slung at this point#kim is sooo funny yes sir you are so so normal average sane mundane usual orthodox plain unremarkable spoilsport etc. whatever you say babe

I had to quit my job very suddenly, without a full-time gig at the ready [I'm blessed to have found a part-time gig very quickly, 5 min walk from my apt] and I've never been so glad that I buy in bulk + I started low-stakes prepping [prepping for Tuesday, not doomsday, ie preparing for common bad weather for your area, job loss, illness, etc].
I went grocery shopping over 1 month ago, [I did pick up snacks since lol]. I got my bulk dry goods [lentils, black beans, chickpeas] at the end of May, and I still have quite a bit. The only things I NEED to buy [as in, need to buy as to not rlly disrupt my habits] are eggs, vegetables, and ketchup. idk I could live off of legumes and rice and tuna salad but my gf doesn't want to do that smh.
I bought a dozen or so jars of salsa when they were on sale at Aldi ages ago, which would be great in rice and beans. I have a ton of chickpea pasta bc again, sale. and have cheese sauce in the freezer. I made hummus from dried chickpeas for a get-together and have chips/crackers [I can also make those myself when I run out]. I made lentil soup the other day [which I made too spicy whoops. it's been great to add to scrambled eggs, it cuts the spice, adds fiber and other nutrients, and it lowers the amount of eggs I need to make a solid breakfast]. I cannot recommend buying in bulk enough. it's a bit more up front but the peace of mind is worth it.

Oh I hate when more middle to high class (not rich rich) start to latch onto things poor people have done since forever and make it into ~fancy~ stuff like:
-Biking to your job
-Eating leftovers
-Buying from thrift store/getting hand downs
-Avoid eating out
-Taking walks instead of using your car
"Oh look at this new trick to save money/save the environment" Babe you're stealing poor people culture and gentrifying it instead of making accessible for everyone
#seriously i could find so many recipes of easy cheap stuff to eat at home and candies when you have a budget of 15R$ for treats and then#once middle to high class latched on homemade food everything homemade started to cost a shitton#and every recipe called for like milk from a goat that was milk during the full moon in the mounstains of himalaia#instead of milk you buy on bulk

Christians: Nothing should be over the Lord! You should give your money to the church because it belongs to Him!
Me, deciding I love my cat more than Jesus:
#This is $66 worth of stuff btw#I got litter food odor remover toys and treats all for $66 dollars and it'll last months hopefully#I buy my cat's food and little in bulk that's why I prommy I'm not risking my livelihood for my cat#I bought 20lbs of food and like 50lbs of litter#I also bought his treats in bulk this time cause it's like 3 times as many treats for a few dollars less#wait no they were out of stock of the 50 so I got 40lbs#They also had a sale on toys so I got my cat new toys cause he rips thru his so quickly#so I buy him new ones when they're on sale#My roommate once bought him like a $7 bag of crinkle toys and he ripped into all of them within months#I sometimes buy him plush dog toys cause they're sturdier but he doesn't like them as much#he specifically likes ripping his toys apart#that or he respects Jewish tradition so much he refuses to rip up the Hanukkah dog toys I got him#since he's half Jewish on my found family's side#he only plays with the gelt piece but won't play with the dreidel or menorah plushies#I think cause it crinkles the most of the three. the other two are more squeaky and sturdy#n e ways I love u bulk sales my cat will be living in luxary no matter what#he will not know struggle a day in his life#thank u for reading my rambles about how much I love my cat he's a devious creature and my son#ex christian#religious trauma

the war between "this is cheaper to buy in bulk" vs "the pricier option will take far less time and energy to prep and eat" is much more constant than I would like it to be
#yes i can get a bajillion uncooked spaghetti noodles for dirt cheap#but when i'm low on spoons waiting for water to boil and waiting for them to cook feels monumental#but a $1 two serving packet of microwave pasta takes one minute#i'm never going to buy dry beans in bulk. who has the time to wait for those fuckers to soak#i'm not trying to be a master chef over here i just need to eat. and instant pasta and canned beans are perfectly acceptable#feb 2023#food#cogs and wires

It's scented powder day!
Now that I have more of my favorite perfume, I can use some of my dwindling former supply (look at the difference in levels between these two pictures. 😅) to make violet-scented body powder for springtime! I did this a few years ago and it was LOVELY, so I'm so excited to have some again!
#Violets#Now I just shake the jar once a day for a week or two and then it'll be ready to use#I made a lot. Haha#I was grouchy about having to order the other ingredients online because the local health food store USED to sell them in bulk!#And I could just measure out and buy only as much as I needed!#But then the store changed hands and got suckier. Boooo

I wish more people could wrap their heads around “labor rights and a strong social safety net are important not just to the very poor, both on principle and because weakening those things means that more people end up in poverty” and “people at different socioeconomic levels have different experiences even if you disregard the very rich, and people can be viciously classist even if they don’t have all that much money themselves.” Also, if there could be a moratorium on “if you were really poor, you wouldn’t have/do [thing that varies a lot in expense depending on a million different factors].”
#I remember the debate on whether only rich people go to the grocery store more than once a week#and I was like. well. it’s not like they have a cover charge#idk some people go less to the grocery store because they don’t have reliable transportation#some people go more because they live paycheck to paycheck and can only spend a little at a time#or they live with a bunch of roommates and don’t have a lot of food storage#or they go less because they have to plan carefully and buy in bulk#this was of course about feeling that people were grocery shopping too much during the pandemic beginning#and trying to make it a clueless rich person thing

It's been a good week. The first good week I've had in a while. I hope you all also have better days coming your way
#i made a chore chart for me and my sister. we live in a trash heap because we can't find the motivation to do anything#so i made a chart and assign her chores because her adhd gives her severe decision fatigue#the chores are non-negotiable they must be done before we get to do a fun thing/relax#shes already taken out 6 bags of trash this week. i set it outside the front door so when she comes home from work she can take it to the#dumpster without having to think about it or even coming inside and losing motivation#i also got approved for food stamps until November so now we get $300 a month for groceries and holy shit its fantastic#i got it on tues and they back payed for 2.5 months since i applied#so i got almost $700 to go stock up our foid yesterday. i went to Sam's and got bulk canned goods that we haven't been able to afford#i got meat and snacks and bulk seasonings because i go through garlic and onion powder so quickly and its expensive buying small bottles#our fridge is full for the first time in probably 6 months#i got a referral to an obgyn for the first time ever and in 2 weeks i go to my first ever pap smear because i have medicaid for reproductive#care. not for anything else but its a start#my mom sent me the newest book in my favorite series and i get to read it!#i feel like this all happened because i set things in motion. I'm done sitting around waiting for help because its not coming

So many people claiming to treat eating disorders do not understand the complexities regarding peoples relationship with food and just over pathologize every little thing.
Many folks will never be able to just eat what they want without thinking about it, they’d get very sick if they don’t read a label. that’s not ED. Intention matters.
#there’s not such thing as a completely normal relationship with food nowadays- aside from maybe in childhood#it’s not ed to avoid things that cause gas or migraine#it’s not ed to obsess about labels and question how it’s prepared if I have a severe allergy#I’m not even gonna get started on how those with autism and adhd are treated#my friend with Ana was told her obsessing over labels needs to stop and was told to buy from bulk bin - her son is severely anaphylactic

okay now I'm thinking about Sally and Percy and food and just.
food is very much a part of their relationship canonically.
I'm thinking about after TLT before SOM where Percy goes home and there's this weird energy between them.
He did watch the closest person to him, the person who was his only advocate for a long time, die painfully in front of him to save him.
He probably spent a while trying to avoid thinking of how to live without her.
I imagine Sally did too, probably teaching him things that other kids learn much farther down the road. That possibility is now frighteningly real, realer than it has ever been, and Sally certainly spent time weighed down with it during pregnancy.
I'm picturing a day when the memory sits heavy on them both, the air in the apartment charged with it.
And then Sally gets up and calls him into the kitchen, and they cook together.
Nobody talks about it, but they both know.
There was always the chance that Sally didn't leave the underworld that time. That it could happen again, because Sally would always, always make the choice to step in front of sure doom for Percy, and she wanted to at least make sure he had this if it ends differently next time.
Not just knowing how to cook, but the memory of this, her love for him and her desperate hope he makes it into adulthood to need these skills. That they both grow old enough that these contingencies are useful. Like a prayer. And even if he doesn't make it there (though the thought is a brutal pain worse than the Minotaur) that the memory at least warms him should death steal him away.
#having a normal one :')#percy jackson#sally jackson#sally buys blue food coloring in bulk you cannot convince me otherwise

one thing about me is that if the fridge smells bad its over for me. i will not eat anything stored in that fridge that wasnt in a sealed container.
#having to clean the rotting vegetables out of the crisper in our yearly clean out has ruined me#for information my mom is a food hoarder but she also has orthorexia and so she only buys healthy (read: perishable) food#so our fridge always smells like shit because even when the food goes bad she can't throw it away and if i throw it away i get yelled at#and also fun fact about having rotting food in the fridge. it makes anything uncovered also taste like rot#i tend to shy away from leftovers because i dont trust the tupperware to keep the taste out#bitches will be like 'autism doesnt effect me that bad' and then do shit like this#my mom is like 'why cant you buy stuff in bulk just get the big container and keep it in the fridge once you open it'#mom it will get thrown away anyway because i'll imagine maggots in it and get so skeeved out i wont be able to eat anything like that#when i was a kid i saw a weird gluten formation in a bagel and i thought it was a silverfish#and my dad made me eat it anyway#and i couldnt eat bagels for literal years#shush up jj#personal

Bro those restock videos are crazy like the motivation these people have and the amount of money they make to go out and buy all these storage bins and containers and take things out of containers and put in other containers and make labels and constantly restock and clean every week and dust and polis and vacuum and everything is crazy. I vacuum the floor when it looks dirty and I forget about dusting and I do the laundry when it needs to be done. I occasionally vacuum around the toilet or wipe down the countertops but jeez. And some of the things these people have, what country do they live in? What you mean the curtains are controlled by a remote and how does your sink do that and what kind of soap dispenser is that and why do you need so much makeup and what’s with all those containers and who pre washes vegetables before you eat them? Some of it makes sense and some of it doesn’t but boy do they kinda is satisfying to watch
#and in a lot of the videos the girlies got their nails did#like just for the video? everyday? you must be rich#OR WHAT ANNOYS ME IS THE FOOD CONTAINERS THAT THEY EMPTY THE REMAINING PASTA OUT OF#AND INTO A BOWL#AND THEN DUMP PASTA FROM A BOX CLEANLY LABELED PASTA#AND THEN DUMP THE BOWL IN#AND LABEL THE CONTAINER PASTA#LIKE WHY EMPTY OUT THE CONTAINER JUST TO PUT THAT BACK IN UGH#AND THERES SO MUCH MAKEUP#LIKE 50 DRAWERS OF MAKEUP#WHO NEEDS THAT MUCH MAKEUP#WHO NEEDS 50 LIPSTICKS AND 132 EYE SHADOW PALLETES??#BRUH WHAT#ALL THESE BITCHES GO TO COSTCO TOO#LIKE SHAWTY THATS CRAZY#I bet they’re all soccer mums#they buy in bulk to feed their army of booger eating kids
