In a world where a car repair or a sick child can be catastrophic, I am not surprised that a periodic, predictable cash grant with no strings attached helps folks be employed!

I can’t help but wonder if the people with the passwords to the WH account are secretly leftists who are trolling FOTUS . . .

The organic knock-offs our local food co-op stocks are pretty rad, too

I’m still getting over the burning of the Library of Alexandria

It’d be like a snow day for grown ups!

I can’t Day Job without the internet ;)

But, I suspect I would still get paid (in the short term, anyway).

Here in Maine, our Sec of State has pointed out that elders along the northern border were often born in Canada b/c that’s where the nearest hospital was

You then have to prove that both of *their* parents were born in the U.S. — at a time before electronic records ++ when home births were the norm

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

Left-, right-, or center-leaning?

That seems to be the only real criteria…

Or, because it gets taxpayer money?

Post-chemo, before my hair grew back out, I got “sir”-ed about 50% of the time.

Unless I wore a bandanna. Somehow, that reads female.

It was then that I learned:
1. Gender is 109% a construct, and
2. Being mis-gendered actually is hurtful

Yep … you don’t see people freaking out about transmen in boy’s / men’s sports (transmen in men’s restrooms)… it’s almost as if trans-ness is a red herring 🧐

Is reading on the couch an Olympic sport yet?
Can my cat be my personal coach?

I will defend every trans* person’s right to live their best life, while simultaneously questioning why competitive sports is important. Like, at all.

Exactly. It’s about ceding control.

Having their tax money support services they themselves don’t want/need is irksome.

Somehow, she thought *I* was the idiot.

I saw someone on FB try to argue that the problem is that libraries get federal tax money, state tax money, and private donations… she literally thinks they get paid THREE TIMES.

I asked if she had ever split a lunch tab with friends— they don’t triple the price b/c three of you are paying.
