A new documentary on PBS shows what it's like to care for adult family members and recounts the history of caregiving policy in the U.S., revealing why those caring for family are often on their own.

I don’t need or have anywhere to put 17 pieces of a stainless steel cookware set. At most, I need 11, but 17 is cheaper than 11…

I am reminded again that the speed of technological advancement has outpaced that of ethics and values.

Flock “is building a product that will use people lookup tools, data brokers, and data breaches to ‘jump from LPR [license plate reader] to person,’ allowing police to much more easily identify and track the movements of specific people around the country without a warrant or court order…”

What the actual…

Help, I keep buying more books before I finish reading the books I already have! Also, I tend to read multiple books at a time because I need “brain candy” too while I read heavy nonfiction. This is out of control. #booksky

I've definitely noticed that weather forecasts aren't as accurate as they were 6 months ago and it's only gonna get worse from here.

Poisoning the air of a Black community for a fucking chatbot.

This is horrible.

I need another rage room trip, just in case. Proactive self-care.

Whew this right here.

Trying this new practice where I paint for 30 min and however much I complete in that 30 mins is what I complete

Is this about me or am I choosing to make this about me

Succinct and the truest of true.

I simply don’t have the patience to blow dry my hair. How do people DO this in the morning? It’s impossible

(Derogatory + Historical)

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

America doesn’t know how to function without free/cheap labor cuz it never intended to be without slaves.

i have argued before that MAGA is recapitulating antebellum pro-slavery ideas about citizenship and bodily autonomy. one thing i am also thinking about, when it comes to the rendition of people to a foreign gulag, is the way it is reminiscent of the kidnapping of free blacks for sale into slavery

Reliving my school days in the garment district 🥰

"We have a massive sprawling low-wage service sector. You could make that into the middle class if you really wanted to, but I don’t think we want to. I think we prefer to lament about the lost past, but it cost a lot to destroy the future."

I’m super close to finishing a textile collage I had the idea for 7 years ago. It took me this long to even get started because I thought it would take forever… it’s taken a little over 2 months, lol

I’m enjoying the answers to this, especially as I am currently watching and reading A Discovery of Witches

Most people confuse intimacy with sex, but real intimacy is being fully seen and accepted. It takes honesty, emotional risk, and time. It’s not always easy or constant. Intimacy deepens through vulnerability, not comfort. Many crave it, but fear what it truly demands.

This man is trying to sell pepper spray on the street and his marketing strategy is to harass women…

We need to get serious about documenting our stories. Physical media. It is getting nastier and nastier by the day…

I went to the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute with my cousin (in his 70s) earlier this week and he shared his personal experience of the bombing of 16th Street Baptist Church. He was classmates with one of the girls; her mother was his teacher.

The HP DeskJet Plus is the worst printer I’ve ever had the misfortune of using.

This restaurant has lemon pepper fried ribs. Welcome to Alabama.

You don’t really have to frame the kidnapping, abuse, and humiliation of people as important and serious because it means the same could potentially be done to citizens. It can just be important and serious that people are being kidnapped, abused, and humiliated.

I really take the most horrible pictures— it’s a source of embarrassment as an artist, but photography is where my aesthetic eye stops.

First Corinthian Baptist Church founded a separate nonprofit that employs therapists to bring mental health care to a community where stigma remains a high barrier to healing.

I love how I time things perfectly to arrive at the gate *just* as boarding begins. Would much rather be just in time than sit and wait.

I have to wander around my apartment, fiddling with random things for about 15 min before I start cooking. It’s just part of the process.

We are working on launching an ALT DOGE website. It will soon feature a team page listing all of Elon’s staffers, our own wall of receipts (tracking the money he’s taking from America), and a section to help Americans keep tabs on the false claims on Doge’s website—which now exceed 52%.

Think this is a great time to lift up the legacy and work of W.E.B DuBois and Ida B. Wells in using journalism, ethnography, and data to highlight the propaganda of white supremacy. They were able to pierce through official lies with meticulous work and compelling methods of communication.

Agreed to shadow at the family business for a week. The family business is a funeral home and I just realized I don’t have any appropriate clothing.

I adjusted my spending practices HEAVILY after learning from online organizing what needed to happen. One day of passing on a purchase turned into two months for me. Target. Amazon. Netflix.

All resistance counts. Some people take that one day and turn it into two. Some people can be galvanized into further action. Some people learn they CAN go some time without spending if they add planning. Some people learn that some people just like to not shut the fuck up about what others do.

I'm sure some folks out there are tired of being reminded, but: If you're a Gen-Xer or elder Millennial, there's a non-zero chance your MMR vaccine has worn off. You may not be protected. Talk to your PCP about a titer test and re-up if you need to, cuz the raw milk moms are trying to kill us all.

a common sentiment i see on here is that the current situation has a lot of parallels with feb 2020: if you're paying attention you can clearly see a disaster is coming, but society at large is still in denial

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

I told people in 2020 that this mf was going to go full Cersei blowing up the Sept. He was going to do anything and everything to avoid going to jail. No limits.

Trump been wanting to strip the country and sell it for parts. Please realize THESE ARE NOT THE ACTIONS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE IN TEMPORARY POWER. They're not worried about what happens next bc they don't plan for their to be a next.

The trouble is: I can create art OR cook, but I can’t do both in the same evening, and I can’t eat my art.

I gotta find the key that unlocks my anger. Like Kendrick.

Starting a textile collage today and I am very excited about the process. First time!

I love snowy evenings. So peaceful

NEW: President Donald Trump has given Elon Musk sweeping authority to overhaul the U.S. government bureaucracy and its operations around the globe. ProPublica confirmed the identities and roles of more than 20 key people affiliated with Musk.
