During the most poor and homeless period of my life, I had a lot of people get angry with me because I spent $25 on Bath and Body Works candles during a sale. They couldn’t comprehend why the hell I would do that when I had been fighting for months to try and get us on our feet, afford food, and have an apartment to live in.
Those candles were placed beside wherever I slept that night. In the morning, I would move them and set them wherever I’d have to hang out. At one point I carried one around in my purse - one of those big honking 3-wick candles. I never lit them, but I’d open them and smell them a lot.
I credit that purchase with a lot of my drive that got me to where I am today. I had been working tirelessly, 15+ hour days with barely any reward, constantly on the phone or trying to deal with organizations and associations to “get help at”. It’d gone on for almost a year by the end of it, and I was so burnt out, to the point that I would shake 24/7. But I could get a bit of relief from my 3-wick “upper middle class lifestyle” candles. They represented my future goals, my home I wanted to decorate, and how I would one day not be in this mess anymore.
When we moved into the apartment, and our financial status improved, I burned those candles every single day. When they were empty, I cleaned them out, stuck labels on them, and they became the starting point of my really cute organization system I had ALWAYS planned to have.
So whenever I hear about someone very poor getting themselves a treat - maybe it’s Starbucks, maybe it’s a home deco item, maybe it’s a video game… I don’t judge them. I get it. I get that you can’t go without anything for that long without it making you go crazy. You need to pull some joy, inspiration, and motivation from somewhere.
poor people deserve things they want, too. it is unfair to expect poor people to only buy things they “need”.
My grandfather used to tell me: if you only have 20 kr left, you buy grocery for 10 kr and flowers for the other 10 kr because you need a reason to live as well.

Friendly reminder that activated charcoal, even when put into food as a black colorant, binds to medication and can make it ineffective. Yes, this includes birth control! I thought I’d put this PSA out there since people are making spooky “black” versions of normal foods.
A friendly reminder for this spooktacular season!

Serena Williams standing up for herself while referee accuses her of cheating. She had been docked points for coaching that didn’t happen.
This is so….so much deeper than what’s on the surface.
This umpire basically accused her of cheating! And penalized her for his accusations. This is touchy for Serena being that they have been conspiring against her for the longest with the whole drug testing. She’s had it with them opposing her with no merit or basis! SHE HAS NEVER CHEATED which has been proven time after time with those negative results. and to accuse her of that during this game is why she is extremely and rightfully emotional! The pain and humiliation in her voice says it all. It really hurt her for him to accuse her of that so publicly too. He announced it during the match on the mic to everyone and now that’s like a stain on this moment forever. That’s why she’s demanding he apologize to her and say it over the loudspeaker. To set the record straight that she didn’t do what he alleged.
Honestly she has faced the most her entire career and her mental fortitude to endure it and still be dominant is a miracle. ALWAYS A QUEEN
(this match was painful & angering to watch)
This was so fucking awful for so many reasons. First of all, all coaches coach during matches, and from Serena’s standpoint she wouldn’t even have been able to see any hand signals from the box. And then at the beginning of the next game, she finds out she’s been penalized a point for breaking her racket, making it her second warning (I might’ve mixed up the first and second warnings) but due to the acoustics of the stadium, she likely wasn’t able to hear the umpire’s call. The commentators even pointed this out after the match. So after she rightfully demands an apology and calls him a thief for taking a point, the umpire decides that “thief” warrants a third warning and takes away an entire game. Everyone in the stadium was confused by the penalty and this is when Serena pointed out that dozens of (white) male athletes have said/done much worse; one even called the umpire an abortion, and djokovic has even put his hands on a line judge. Literally every female commentator agreed with her afterwards. No one criticizing her for the way Serena reacted knows anything about what she experiences as a black woman in tennis and the history of aggression she’s been subject to at tournaments worldwide.
I’m so proud of Serena for finishing the match and being supportive to Naomi bc that umpire was shit and none of it was fair to either of them. And FUCK US OPEN
