Far too many times have I seen posts and comics that have a similar subject but end with “lol quitting art 4ever” when they see a good artist who is younger than themselves. When in reality it only means that you can learn from this person!
I really like how they comment on how hard the artist must have worked to get that good instead of calling their skill “natural talent,” because many artists work their butts off for years to get to their skill level, and calling it a talent is basically dismissing the amount of work they’ve put into their craft. Thank you.

So the USA is trying to starve its poor to death. Not even an exaggeration.
The SNAP program is getting some work requirements applied again which are expected to leave up to (or more than) a MILLION people without benefits. Of these people, 97% are at OR BELOW the poverty line.
And the only way to “earn” your benefits - the way to “prove” that you don’t “deserve” to starve to death - is to work 20 hours per week, or 80 per month.
Either pull a job out of your ass (earn your paycheck AND qualify for food assistance), OR participate in 80 hours of UNPAID labor (PLUS the expense and time of transportation to and from a set, unflexible location).
And after working 80 hours (plus paying money you don’t have for transportation to get to the designated “program” location/s) for the state to “prove” you don’t deserve to die, you get… are you ready?
I’m gonna use the Florida figures, because that’s what I was reading up on.
Less than $200 in food assistance. The average is actually less than 150.
Care to do the math?
$150 for 80 hours.
$1.88 per hour.
The USA is a fucking dystopia.
What the ever living fuck.
@fullten@lady-feral I…what
Yeah, I was hit with this. We’re okay right now since we’re staying with family, though feeding us puts a strain on them as well.
I make some internet money that works out to about 125 a week so if I wanna keep getting my food assistance I have to itemize that so it qualifies as a 20 hour a week job, which it probably does, but it’s ridiculous that anyone has to do this and most people under the poverty line will not be able to.
I HAVE had real jobs. I’ve had enough real jobs that the taxes taken out of my own past paychecks already cover all the food assistance I’ve used and plenty to come. I have already paid for this food myself.
And every day a politician somewhere in this country wastes enough money to feed our entire fucking population.
I WANNA ADD SOMETHING IMPORTANT for anyone who thinks they might need to sign up for food assistance, cause a few people just asked me some stuff about it.
In your interviews and applications, they are going to ask “do you ever eat with other people.”
This is a trick question.
You’re gonna probably think “well, technically, yeah, I had lunch with my friend last week…my mom made me a dinner….”
STOP
Answer NO. Always always answer NO.
This question is designed to weed people out. If you admit to literally ever sharing a meal with another human being, that actually allows them to deny or alter your benefit amount. Even though this is legally referred to as “supplemental” food assistance and it isn’t enough to live on by itself, Republicans already don’t want anyone to have even that, and they want to consider it “fraud” if you both receive food assistance and EVER share food with another person, whether you’ve used your benefits to buy ingredients for someone’s birthday dinner or your mom made you a casserole one visit.The correct thing to say when asked these questions is “I purchase and prepare my own food” or “we eat separately.” Even if you’ve already told them you live with family or a roommate.
Remember: Republicans don’t even want assistance recipients to be able to buy “luxury” items like fucking pasta sauce. They would limit you to nothing but gruel if they could. They’ve fought and pushed to load the benefit process with “tricks” and catch-22′s like these to treat as wide a range of people they can as lazy fraudsters and moochers.
