#high cost of living

[bitchesgetriches]

I live in a very liberal, and expensive, state. I don't know if I can afford to stay, but I don't know if I can afford to leave either because of the ~political hellscape~ outside. How do I choose where I live?

My darling child, this is a SUPER valid question. We've thought about it a lot! Most of our thoughts and advice are in this episode of our podcast (scroll down the link for the transcript if you'd rather read than listen):

Season 4, Episode 8: "I’m Queer, and Want To Find an Affordable Place To Retire. How Do I Balance Safety With Cost of Living?" 

If this helped you out, give us a tip!

"THE COST OF LIVING IS STILL SOARING," Toronto Globe. September 10, 1913. Page 7. --- AND THE PROSPECTS FOR A PRONOUNCED DROP ARE NOT VERY BRIGHT. ---- (Canadian Press Despatch.) Ottawa, Sept. 9. - The cost of living index number took another jump upwards last month from 135.9, the figures for July, to 136.2. In August, 1912, the figures were 133.3, so that there was near a three-point in. crease in August of this year compared with the same month a year ago. "And," say the officials at the Labor Department who compile the average cost of prices every month, "the prospects for any pronounced drop in the average cost of the commodities classified under the list of necessities of life are not very bright."

The cause for the advance in the average cost last month was principally due to the increase in price of potatoes, eggs, canned lobster, anthracite coal, grains and fodder. Such things as beef, lamb, butter, lake trout, whitefish, canned peas and coffee dropped a few points.

Meats are a little higher in price than they were a year ago, but grains - and fodder are lower.

So strange to think that we’re well past 2020 levels of the world falling apart and we don’t even have the ability to rest in “lockdown” or “quarantine” to fully comprehend what’s happening to us and our futures

Les enfants s'emploient à faire provision de bois, car le charbon reste, hélas, trop cher. Réussira-t-on à enrayer avant l'hiver les spéculations qui maintiennent ce prix élevé! C'est possible, car on verra, page 20, les conclusions du rapport officiel du registraire, accablantes pour le monopole. (Photo "Petit Journal").

It’s Sexton, not Hob

They’re filming Death: The High Cost of Living

Mad Hettie is also there (the only other time she appears prominently is Overture, and this is nothing like it)

People were speculating on Twitter yesterday that this photo shows Hob (???, must be wishful thinking 🤣), but I neither think it looks like him in any way, nor does it make sense.

[probably exactly the trip from the above scene]

Now that we’ve got more shots, it’s definitely the same guy, and it’s Sexton. We previously had casting news about other characters from HCoL as well:

This is still labelled as “filming Sandman S2”, so I’m wondering if they either film ahead for a Death spin-off, or if we’re getting a one episode tie-in with the Season of Mists epilogue, where we learn that Death spends a day living.

the hse's advice on covid self-isolation is such dogshit. 'you can come out of isolation after 5 days but don't interact with anyone high risk for 10 days' cool how do i know the person sitting next to me on the bus isn't high risk. the person in line behind me getting groceries, the person i make small talk with in the pharmacy queue. literally eugenics-adjacent advice
