Silver Tongue

endangeredbodiesnyc:

One third of GoFundMe campaigns are for necessary medical expenses.
People are “donating” their vacation days so that a new mom can stay home with her baby.
A college-educated homeless man stood on the street handing out resumes in desperation, begging for a job, any job.
Multiple posts about parents buying teachers necessities like a car and school supplies went viral.

Twitter and the media highlight these stories as heartwarming examples of “sacrifice” and people “pulling themselves up by their bootstraps.”

I call bullshit. Only in a dystopian society would we feel anything other than horrified at the thought of people crowdfunding their most basic needs.
