Not so furious after all.

There are bot Mars/Moon Elon defenders at work already. Some in this string. Hilarious.

The girls already told us.
The oceans already told us.
The ppm of CO2 already told us.
The aquifer levels already told us.
One way systems resist change is by undermining the accounts of survivors.

(AKA breaking feedback loops, AKA no good can come from complex systems with broken feedback loops)

My mother has said so; my husband knows but won’t go quite as far as saying “you were right.” 🙃

As you know, I agree completely (and I’ve been saying it since the GWB administration. People told me for years that it was hyperbolic and that I was being melodramatic. I am wrong about a lot of things and don’t often plant a stake. But I was right about this and I knew it in my bones.)

I think Montpelier’s WW treatment plant is the only one being tested regularly so that’s my guess.

The third time I was there after meeting her i had a carrier and planned to bring her home with me, but she had been adopted by someone who worked at the hotel. She apparently had a thing for potato chips and had helped herself to more than one bag in her new home. 😂

Cat with her paws on the edge of a bathtub, peering in.

Cat in the bathtub checking it out (no water).

Cat on the bathroom counter, looking into the mirror over the sink. You can see her face in the reflection and she looks a bit perplexed. Her tail has got a funny swerve too.

I stayed on the ground floor on the outside hallway (Marriott courtyard) so i could l leave the sliding door propped open for her to come and go, but she never went out in the overnights. Was fascinated by the hotel room. 2/3

A tiger cat with a sweet face curled up in the sun near a bush.

Same cat sitting with her legs stretched out in front of her, perched on the back of a red couch in a hotel room. She has the sweetest look on her face.

Same cat on the couch with her paws tucked, eyes closed, looking content.

Kitty at the foot of the bed, eyes closed.

Looking through old photos and found this sweet face. A stray at the hotel I often stayed in in Tallahassee when I travelled there all the time for work. 1/2 #Caturday

This is such a beautiful photo.

They’re the ones you defy. Compassion for everyone else.

Alternative headline suggestion: Vermont seeks to remove autonomy from SNAP recipients

These waivers are not only punishing to SNAP recips, they are causing chaos in grocery retailers across the country, who have dozens of bans w different rules to implement & costs that will shift to all of us.

But so many men have done it - they know on some level. I think most probably dismiss their own bad behavior as if it doesn’t count or meet the threshold of SA.

Yup, put it in the bill and make it a condition of D support.

I cannot stand the "this is a good start" discourse. The Democrats in Congress do not want to abolish ICE. They have proposed a series of bog-standard reforms regurgitated by a think tank. Everyone knows they do not work. The Democrats supporting this do not care. They just want to move on.

Sir, you are in no position to have assumed that you can “help me understand” this better. So fix your own freaking heart. Thanks!

A little mansplaining, as a treat.

Exactly Bree. I started to respond like this too but i was too annoyed to put my thoughts together.

I don’t know what that person’s point/problem is (navidson) but I’m done with them and blocking. So fucking tiresome.

His chest part 🖤

💛

Omg. Are you for real right now? That was exactly the point i made in my reply to you.

I’m mad about this. What is that fucking guy’s deal??? (Stancil)

Brilliant point. We can all see that you understand how an average number is reached.

Also, grocery prices fluctuate daily; why would anyone spend precious brain power storing the price of milk on a specific day? 2/2

This is so fantastically out of touch! There are millions of people who go to the grocery store w *exactly* $10 or $20 to spend. You can bet they know exactly how much their grocery total will be when they get to checkout. Also grocery prices fluctuate daily… 1/

Semantics.

From healthcare dot gov:
Federal poverty level for individuals, $15,060,
Family of 2, $20,440

The average rent in the United States is $1,625/month, $19,500/annually (apartments dot com)

Technical poverty and actual poverty are not the same.

I really really don’t want to be thinking about Musk. But i am mystified by the impulse & motivation behind his 😔 tweet. Is it genuine? What’s the goal? Does he expect people to feel sorry for him? He actively wrecks things, ruins lives, rejects empathy, and so now… what?? What does he want??
