"Nestlé has maintained that its rights to California spring water dates back to 1865. But a 2017 investigation found that Nestlé was taking far more than its share. Last year the company drew out about 58m gallons, far surpassing the 2.3m gallons per year it could validly claim."

Help Hungry Families Now Please donate to the Homeless Prenatal Program (HPP). HPP is a San Francisco nonprofit dedicated to ending childhood poverty and family homelessness. It is especially important during this time, as the quarantine makes it incredibly difficult for these families. Can you imagine? Families who were unsheltered or unstably housed were faced with an agonizing choice: gather with others in shelters and risk virus exposure or stay alone on the street. ... The need was huge in those first weeks and monthsbut now, the need is enormous. In addition to needing groceries and other items, families are seeking twice as much support from case managers as counseling and therapy sessions, now virtual, have doubled since March.

"For an adult, the big, difficult feelings are expressed a little more quietly. I’m not saying I’ve never just laid down on the floor and screamed, but it might be frowned upon if I did it in an IKEA. (Even though being in an IKEA always makes me want to lie on the floor and scream.) Instead, we backslide on our smoking, spend too much money, eat potato chips even though they give us gas. We let the dishes pile up, stop washing our faces, cycle through the same three grungy outfits day after day. It’s not just laziness, or self-indulgence, or fatigue. It’s self-expression and protest: I will act miserable because I am miserable and I want to act the way I feel, and I don’t need to act like I feel better and you can’t make me."

That's because it's impossible
