you know sometimes it shocks me too but google really is free and it’s right there in your hands

I love that this post is both a really wide-eyed appreciation for the amazing time we live in and a really sarcastic passive-aggressive way to tell people to just fucking google shit

Hungry teens are taking alarming measures to eat

According to a new report from Washington, D.C.-based think-tank the Urban Institute and nonprofit Feeding America, teens from food-insecure families are risking everything to eat. In every community where the study’s focus groups met, teens described going “outside of the legal economy” in order to get the food they need:

  • Shoplifting food
  • Stealing items to resell for a profit
  • Purposefully failing school to maintain access to free food programs
  • many teens skip meals so they’re able to provide for their younger siblings.
  • And in 13 out of 20 of the study’s focus groups, teen participants mentioned trading sex for money or meals.

And no they can’t “just get jobs” — they’re caught in the same employment paradox as many young people.

the moral of frankenstein is if youre going to build a monster out of dead body parts dont make him like 8 feet tall and super strong

or just love your super strong 8 feet tall son

Like, don’t abandon him because you are scared of him. Like you met him a second ago. He just wants a family

The moral of the story is that you need to be prepared for the realities of parenthood before you commit. Sometimes you get what you expected, sometimes you get an eight foot tall super strong patchwork zombie child, sometimes you get neither of those things. No take-backs.
