Back at it… reminding myself that it’s OK to fail. It’s OK to lose track. Just pick yourself back up. Keep going. #fall7standup8 #fitnessover40 #keepgoing

Hello Blue Sky friends! Sooo…do you all…like…stuff?

Soooo…welcome? It’s pretty odd here. Been here for almost a year and I didn’t know anyone and I got scared. So I didn’t really post here. Let’s take this place on like Vikings.

Perspective | I sold Americans a lie about Canadian medicine. Now we’re paying the price. We still believe our system is superior, despite all evidence to the contrary.

Yesterday, one of the doctors asked me if Canadians had to wait a long time for procedures. I told them that the idea was a propaganda campaign by US healthcare companies and my parents' experience getting urgent care with very little wait. www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020...

Hardly a surprise, but Commanders HC Dan Quinn said No. 2 overall pick Jayden Daniels will play in Washington’s first preseason game vs. the Jets.

For something to be copyrighted, it needs to be human-created. Computers can't create copyrightable works. If OpenAI releases a tool that makes it easy to make that distinction it kills their entire business model, which is essentially theft and fraud. Their loyal users don't want to be exposed.

I did it and the Department of Ed FINALLY removed two decades & over $100,000 of student debt from my record.

Black circular button with white text reading "Despite everything, create."

Periodic reminder.

If you want to understand why this is a very, very bad sign. Read this piece from just 2 years ago about all the work Lisa Lucas and other black women in publishing have done to eke out a space for writers of color. Gift link

Black and white photo of a medium haired white cat lying in loaf position on a lawn. The photo is pretty striking because it’s fairly dark but the cats’ face is dramatically illuminated by light streaming in from the right. It is reminiscent of how women’s faces were often lit in noir films of the 1940s and 50s. The cats’ eyes look they might be two different colors but it’s unclear if it’s due to heterochromia or just the stark lighting.

Noir goddess. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

Trump’s Sleazy $1 Billion Shakedown of Oil Execs Gives Dems an Opening Shocking revelations about what Trump offered Big Oil executives at their elite Mar-a-Lago gathering sure smell of a direct quid pro quo. Democrats need to expose this.

NEWS --> Sen Sheldon Whitehouse tells me Dems are likely to investigate revelations about Trump soliciting $1 billion from Big Oil execs while corruptly vowing to fulfill their biggest policy demands.

This would be via the Budget Committee. 1/

I don’t think any thing is as scary as the ban on Tic Tok…which effectively forces Tic Tok to be sold to a US company, or be shut down in the US. #tictok

one fact people should know about financial literacy is that there is no dollar amount or number of assets required to being "financially independent." it just depends on your spending habits, your location, and your personality relative to your income

What society tells you is normal:

• $60,000+ cars
• $800,000+ homes
• $40,000+ weddings
• $100,000+ college tuition

All before you turn 30.

Then another 30 years spent working to pay it off.

In reality, it's just a debt trap to keep you working forever.

Insensitive? Maybe. Definitely out of touch with reality.

The 15 minute increment requirement sent me into a panic attack….🤣 It feels like that sometimes.

That’s a good impression. 🤣

Money is a tool.

7 Levels of Wealth:

Level 1: Living paycheck to paycheck
Level 2: Budgeting money
Level 3: Paying down debt
Level 4: Saving an emergency fund
Level 5: Investing in assets
Level 6: Building multiple income streams
Level 7: Having financial freedom

Money is a tool. Every dollar should be working.

Ooof. Well, the bright side is the rent is paid. But man….housing costs are outrageous. #therentistoohigh #thisisntnormal

A HELOC isn’t bad, it really depends on what you want out of your house. Do you plan to sell within 1-5 years? A HELOC might not be your best option if you want the most out of your equity when you sell. Ask yourself what you want your money and assets to do for you.
