Consider where you're shopping this holiday season - let's throw all our money to the small retailers who are hurt here, and to the small manufacturers who are shut out of opportunities by this crap.

This sounds really great!

I hate this kind of predation by companies.

There is tons of easily available data on how many people in rural areas - especially those burdened by costs - are renters. The rent is too damn high. ruralhome.org/wp-content/u... shelterforce.org/2019/08/26/t...

Rental affordability is a nationwide problem!! I love the NLIHC's Gap study for Guys Like This. The data don't lie and, as you note, the number of first-time homebuyers is plummeting esp with interest rates where they are lmao.

Tonight’s progress. From the last picture to this took 3 hours #art 🧶 #diy

This is brilliant. Do not skip the alt-text.

trump may be snatching innocent brown people off the street and traumatizing kids and communities but at least he’s making a notorious sex trafficker “happier” and “more comfortable”

This i had not heard of before - this may be relevant to my followers...

This is just such a no-brainer win for everybody that I hope that it gets rolled out in a much bigger way.

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

This will be forever one of my favourite garments in the V&A. It is a late #1890s coat from Marshall & Snelgrove, featuring hand embroidered sweet cicely flowers with white felt petals that float on top of blue velvet, V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Finished @kashana.blacksky.app The Payback last night - loved it! A fierce new take on atheist novel which would be an awfully fun movie...
