So. We just lost our TANF benefits.
That's a budget cut of $450 a month.
We were already operating at a deficit.
We could still get $57 of benefits, but I'd have to go to work for JaFS for twelve additional hours on top of my current work schedule. Because, you see, I'm not working enough, but I'm being paid too much.
I will be doing ritual for this. I don't know what yet, but my impulses are... dark. And burning. Something has to change.
You want to know why I'm a progressive? You want to know why I'm passionate about social justice? You want to know why I push this shit until everyone around me is sick of it? This is why. Because I'm fucking living it.
