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 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.

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 🧐

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

Having their tax money support services they themselves don’t want/need is irksome.
Somehow, she thought *I* was the idiot.
04.04.2025 21:53 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I 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.
