As for me and my house... writing is a CRAFT honed with practice and many rounds of revision.
Me: *scrolls past a post post claiming that people say that being a good writer requires reading are being fascist*
Also me: *clicks account, reads bio, and blocks them*
This is such a lovely piece.
I've never received, nor performed, a pedicure, but there are other caretaking tasks that have meaning like this for me.
Bitch until you change ya name to Irrelevant you still the damn target. And we on dat ass, spot
I feel like I’ve had to be loudly anti-war since I was 19.
The hate I have for Platner is already pretty high. I'm not in Maine so it doesn't matter... but this just makes me hate him even more.
Random thoughts: "What if I turned my closet into a panic room?"
They pulled the plug on this disaster, but I hope they're still sued into bankruptcy as a warning to other companies.
"ceremonial sandwich" 🥪
The reason I want students to have to struggle with difficult texts is because I want them to have the capacity to make meaning in and of the world on their own.
She’s (a) running against Ilhan, and (b)probably counting on people not figuring out that she was an ICE prosecutor before signing up to imprison people at DOJ. Her candidacy comes with a free laugh track.

The US is firing limited advanced munitions - TLAMs, PAC-3s, JASSMs - at a breakneck pace, but replenishing them will take years and billions. Iran is waging a cost-imposing battle on the US defense industrial base -- and it is working.

“A new study found the change had big results, impacting 27% of Black patients and resulting in 5.3 more transplants per 1000 Black candidates.”
“I don’t know how you can read fiction”
I don’t know how you can’t! Free movies in ya head! I’m casting, directing and on cinematography in this bih! Everythin getting funded. Maximum budget! All practical effects! Actors can get recast mid production! 12 hrs of footage, directors cut!!
For months, we warned DOGE's access to Americans' private data was ripe for abuse. And here it is:
A former DOGE employee stole the Social Security numbers & personal info of over 500 MILLION Americans.
Musk, Trump, & their DOGE lackies must be made to answer for this, NOW.
In just 2 days, Trump burned $6 BILLION on his war with Iran. He's spent billions more in the days since.
We could have DOUBLED our annual budget to help families afford child care. Or built more housing.
Instead, Trump's spent YOUR tax dollars on a war no one asked for.
ICYMI: Republicans BLOCKED my bill to fund TSA.
Republicans are punishing travelers and forcing TSA agents to work without pay because they want to cut another blank check for ICE & Border Patrol.
It's shameful.

In the late 1940s, 12 Black women in Lynwood Park, Georgia, refused to wait for the system to serve their children. They raised money through their sewing club, bought land, and built the FIRST schoolhouse for Black children in their community with their own hands.

No amount is too small, and any amount helps. Little things add up to big things. If you're in a financial position to help out my friend, please do so. It's a scary time to be out of work right now...
There is an episode of a now cancelled show called Better Off Ted, and the whole episode is about this exact thing. Black people at work were getting trapped on the elevator, in their offices, etc... So they hired white people to follow all the Black people around all day rather than fix the issue.
