Twitter Thread: Inuit Shares Insane Food Prices Up North

Seventy dollars for a watermelon? What is this, Japan?

Please check this out. WTAF??! I had no idea Inuit and extreme northern people were price-gouged so insanely, for what in my privileged diet are basic nutrients. Lettuce for $17. Water for $104. $70 for a veggie tray. Of course they hunt! My basic two-week grocery list would be in the $100,000's.

without spite my heart may actually stop

If you're a pagan of any sort, and you are fortunate enough to be celebrating today with loved ones around you, hold them close through the darkest night.  Never stop welcoming them with laughter, libations, and kindred love.  Don't take what you have for granted, and if you can help it, don't be shy, ok?  Please also open your arms to others today in whatever way you can, even if you're uncertain whether your beliefs are welcome.  Somebody near you is awesome, accidentally solitary, and looking for a little light tonight.

The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.

In Poland’s ‘LGBT-free zones,’ existing is an act of defiance

Hundreds of regions across Poland have declared themselves “LGBT-free” — and those inside the zones fear for their safety.

I understand Karolina's feeling of not being able to come home. I live in a society where often I can take my safety more for granted. But this mirrors the culture I was raised in... and that of my family then and now.

As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live

If I reblog you reblogging me, does it still count?

The version of you right now is deserving of love. Not you two years ago when you had more of your shit together, or the five years later version where you’ll surely be thriving. The version of you right now. The one that might just be okay, or is really struggling, or is bored and unproductive. That version deserves love. Having trouble accepting this is fine, but actively denying it is not. Your value is intrinsic, and finding confidence in that is mandatory.
