Jasmine Crockett speaks for all of us. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Someone said that the generational disconnect wrt finances can be boiled down to the fact that things that were once luxuries (personal tech, gym memberships, etc) are now cheaper and more accessible than ever and essentials (rent, food, medical care ) are more expensive and inaccessible than ever

I’m feeling lately like I should probably be listening to a lot more Woody Guthrie.

Well slap my ass and call me Spanky. Who could’ve ever guessed? 🙄

Couple things. I realized grocery prices only update once a week (Wednesdays). That makes tracking a little easier. I also realized I should have these in a running thread, rather than separate posts. I’ll put the 1st and 2nd week’s pics below, and work from there So far, prices aren’t going down ⬇️

A good summation of where we are right now, and also hits on some of own feelings as well.

DUI hire is ok. DEI hire not ok. Got it.

Is there some kind of site where there’s just a daily list of whatever new atrocities he’s invoked? I want to absorb all the shit at once, instead of little dribs and drabs throughout the day.

Day 4.

Day 3 (I realized I should’ve just counted yesterday as Day 2, rather than first full day)

First full day. I just wanna see something.

It is a scientific fact that Hockey Butts save lives

Well. Here we go, I guess. Can you go on a one-day bender? I’m gonna do that.

I’m trying not to be that person, but does anyone else feel like there’s some other, more sinister reason for moving the inauguration inside? It’s DC in January; it shouldn’t be a surprise that it’s going to be cold. #inauguration

If you ever wind up in an interrogation, you say “I want an attorney” and then you shut up. And you remember: cops can legally lie to you in the US. And they will, to try to coerce a confession.

See you in an hour, little cheesecake — enjoy your sauna 😌

I made broccoli cheddar soup last night, and now my fridge smells like farts.

I heard this story in the background while working this morning, and thought I must’ve misheard the timeframe, bc there’s no way this was 10 years ago. I would’ve said 4, maybe 5 years.

clitorhissss

Totally normal shit, right? Everything’s fiiiiiine.

imma be real with you I really don’t think this guy should be in charge of HHS and any Democrat who has anything positive to say about this dangerous dipshit is a mark

Look bringing back polio sounds bad. But it’s a small price to pay to get rid of pronouns in email signatures and black women in star wars.

Congratulations everyone willing to sacrifice American excellence, pride and freedom (just to start) for better egg prices that you were never going to get in the first place. I’ll remember your ignorance and apathy with every family ripped apart.

The state House in North Carolina may vote *tomorrow* on overriding the governor's veto of a bill that'd transfer powers to GOP officials despite the party's election losses in November.

CNN convened a panel of transgender youth to get their thoughts on the Supreme Court and the 2024 election. 10-year-old Violet: "My self is not an opinion. It is a fact."

Eric Robinson is ON IT lately. #gocanes

They’re just saying the quiet part out loud now. My suspicion is that they’ll only get louder come January.

This needs to be said, loud, and often.

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever. #books #reading #booksky #poetry

Finished my #gilmoregirls black work stitch tonight — really happy with how it turned it out. Accidentally used the wrong color orange on some of the middle leaves, but whatever. Still looks good. #crossstitch

My husband and I are going to to end each day having something we’re looking forward the next day, just to have a glimmer of joy. My first thing is tomorrow night, we’re going to watch the 1987 classic, Throw Mama From The Train. I haven’t seen it in probably 20 years (minimum). I’m so excited.

Well what’s one more national let-down in 10 days

Write your senators and tell them not to allow recess appointments — especially important if your senators are Rs.

Amazing to see this: at UNC, faculty, instructors, and TAs are withholding grades to demand amnesty for arrested and suspended students.

Is it me or is shit just *really* escalating over the last week or so?

Idk how anyone can deny climate change is real when cop riot season is starting two whole months earlier than usual
