Weather is surprisingly nice for a fall day, so I'm sitting on the porch with the cats after wrapping my dayjob shift. Not a bad Friday as far as Fridays go.

gentle reminder that if you currently feel stressed, overwhelmed, or hopeless: we’re currently not living in the way that humans have lived for the majority of our existence. our societal structure disrupts our basic needs for community and support. it’s not your fault, or your weakness💗

I feel like if you’re a witch and you catch a witchy vibe and the weather is lovely and stormy you should be allowed to call off work and do witch stuff

My enjoyment of this show comes partly from how much my kids are into it, but I just straight-up like it. It’s fun. If you’re gonna watch a series about a kid discovering he’s not what he thought he was, let it be this one.

People often push the disabled to take risks with our health. They think if it’s already “that bad” who cares if it gets worse We care. Our baselines mean everything to us. Whatever limited function we have left is always worth protecting. You don’t get it until you get it.

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

Fellow bitter southerners, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Virginia all elected Democratic Governors. Georgia in 2020 wasn’t a fluke. South Carolina, Florida, Texas, All y’all of the y’allternative persuasion. Keep being loud. Keep getting into good trouble. Protect black folks and trans people. Vote

It's cool how we keep proving over and over and over again that there's a significant market for narrative-heavy, character-driven, single-player experiences in video games and publishers just categorically refuse to believe us

(hums) I'm just going to leave this here in case any followers might be interested. You know. For reasons.

Let’s be clear, most EBT users are white. The reason he’s specifically lying about “weaves” and we’ve seen so many AI fakes of Black women ranting about food stamps is they need to make BW the face EBT because they know many Americans don’t care if Black people suffer, and some actually wish for it.

Hey everyone, here's a real simple way to disable "Super Resolution" on your channels: • YouTube Studio • Settings • Channel • Advanced settings • Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance visual quality" • Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance audio quality"

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

There is no way to win this game. There is no behavior that will satisfy them. You are either failing to live within your means, i.e., swearing off all frivolities like some sort of financial anchorite, or you are ruining the economy by not buying things.

1. You can't even get hot food on SNAP, much less use it for nails or "weave". It doesn't work like a credit card. Items that do not qualify do not ring up. 2. Let's call a spade a spade. That right there was not a dog whistle. It is old school pure uncut Reagan era racism. What he said was RACIST.

The effort to make us forget that Covid forced governments round the world to take fast, effective steps for the collective good is probably greater by this point that the efforts taken to contain Covid. America *ended child poverty*, then voted to reinstate it because it was off message.

Did this guy get kicked in the head by a horse or something? Nobody, I mean *nobody* has ever sighed in relief at the sight of their health bills exploding.

A source familiar w/ internal workings at MasterCard notes the company does not plan to recruit additional call center workers for the Christmas season, as MasterCard does not expect higher call volume than usual.
