My grandfather’s family was split up as kids and sent to relatives bc his father wasnt earning enough to support the family pre-depression era. Then they did well enough during the depression they felt relatively rich. He never forgot it.

This didn't happen. The perception that it did is largely based on fictional shows that were about rich people. Much more common was a household where one person (theoretically Dad in a het household) was the higher earner and paid the housing costs and the other paid utilities & food

Talrico saying that God is nonbinary is a. True

If I think too hard about how every horrible thing right now is completely manufactured and wildly unnecessary I don’t think I’ll come back from it 🫠🫠🫠

What I think about Tyra Banks is…

She was in a do a home makeover for a friend show (I don’t remember which one) & she had to go back to elementary school friend to find one

And they hadn’t seen each other in forever

And that told me a lot about how she conducted her prof life

Maybe everything

A Group of Trans Women in India Helped Vaccinate Almost 1,500 Children β€œPeople started inviting us in, offering us tea, and asking for advice,” one trans woman involved in the campaign said.

β€œLooking to combat vaccine skepticism and mistrust of officials among migrant residents β€” especially those who are undocumented β€” organizers enlisted trans women to bridge the communication gap.β€œ

This one I found interesting :)

The Sun makes a sound but we can't hear it. In the form of pressure waves, the Sun does make a sound. The wavelength of the pressure waves from the Sun is measured in hundreds of miles, however, meaning they are far beyond the range of human hearing.

But we could probably improve GDP if we were realistic and just shortened the work/school day by an hour in winter.

Black Linguistics nerd here! President Barack Obama’s eulogy for Rev Jesse Jackson is a code-switching masterclass. If you know what you’re listening for, you can hear President Obama toggling back-and-forth between so-called Standard English and AAVE, based on crowd engagement.

I love being Black‼️

I’ve started the Heated Rivalry Book series

They are exactly the cute romance series that I need in this mess right now.
I’m so glad I have them at this moment (I try to save good things for high stress moments)

We need to find a way to talk about Black (women) candidates that is expansive enough to reckon with racism (misogynoir) while at the same time acknowledging those candidates are humans who sometimes make bad policy commitments or campaign choices

What’s gone on for the last few years isn’t working

I mean--there is a discover tab, which people who are "found on it" don't like that much but I have found if you actually use it to "listen to" ie read ppl and try 2discern what content u like...yeah...(I do admit that the topics tabs are not that helpful, but maybe that's healthier)

Silly example, I just put together "An Easter card that is not too sappy, has good theology and basically doesn't suck." My first couple of drafts said what I wanted...but not well.

So frustrating

So then I let it go a couple of days and came back and attacked again.

Someone said that they estimate the war will cost about a billion a day

I can't even comprehend that amount of $$ TBH
But I do know that healthcare should be free
teachers should be paid
libraries should be open
children should be fed
housing is a right
etc.
