In college, the store where I worked enforced the engagement if a customer came within 5 feet rule. The customers *hated* it and started to complain so we got to stop pretty quickly. Corporate can be so disconnected.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

My oldest’s first word was “that” as in, what is that? The first word he wrote was Ohio. We live in Michigan.

Amazing!

Because some people in my household don’t mind if the cat licks our food and some very much do.

It's time again as a notable Italian-American to note Christopher Columbus was an absolute piece of shit human who didn't land anywhere near this actual country so why the fuck should he stop the mail for the whole day

Anyway, Happy Indigenous People's Day, y'all

I had a dream that the friend I have reading my first mystery broke into my home to steal my laptop so I would never try to write a book again. It’s scary stuff but you are a great writer!

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her.

Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

Thank you for your service!

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

My stepdad hooked up an antenna and I’m finally watching a Lions game. And quite the game too!

You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who would’ve celebrated yours.

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

Homemade taco seasoning, so pretty!!

Makes sense. 😭

My follow up ultrasound sound from concerns at my mammogram (all clear!) was so much easier than than the squish machine. Not sure why that’s not how they do it in the first place.

Nothing like listening to NPR and hearing someone say, “I think you have to look at the sandwich throwing in context”.

Benjamin Franklin: Write down "no dumb fucks as president"

Alexander Hamilton: Stop saying that

Benjamin Franklin: I'm tellin' you. You're gonna regret not writing that down

The Beastie Boy

hear me out here, what if none of it is a 'distraction' and they're just doing a lot of horrible shit simultaneously

Salvador looks like he knows I’m ignoring my to do list and he’s disappointed in me.

Two tumblr posts - the top, from writing-prompt-s: The Anti Christ came and went, but no one noticed because he wasn't worse than the current state of the world already is. The rapture followed, but no one went to Heaven so we didn't notice that either. We've been living in Hell for the last 5 years and no one has noticed, yet. The reply, from probsjosh- "Oh I didn't realize this was a writing prompt"

Slow but steady writing today at the coffee shop

We had an actual punch card clock in machine for the first year I was there too. Very satisfying.

When I was in college (2004ish) the store I worked at lost power and our accountant pulled a kachunka machine out of the back for the cashier to use. We all thought it was so cool!

My fitness app telling me to go have a snack? I think? 🫠

Ahh, my comfort read
