@halftroll @KeruboSk Good advice here. Take it.

@KeruboSk Get a legal agreement for a 30/70 split, but split payments as well as down payment 30/70. The agreement should say equity is also 30/70. Separate checking accounts. But, really, this is a red neon sign.

My boyfriend and I are planning to buy a house together after dating for 3 years. He earns significantly more than I do, so he’d be contributing about 70% of the down payment. Because of that, he wants the house to be only in his name. He says it’s just “fair” based on the numbers, but we’d both be living there, splitting bills, and building a life together. I’ve been watching a lot of relationship content about equity vs equality, and it made me realize things don’t always have to be 50/50 but this feels like I’d have no security at all. He said if we ever broke up, he’d “do the right thing,” but that doesn’t really reassure me. My friends say don’t move in unless my name is on it. His friends apparently think I’m being entitled. Now I feel stuck between trusting him and protecting myself. Is this a red flag I’m trying too hard to rationalize?

@cmclymer Ditto. more of this, elephants! 🐘

I hope the elephants weren't hurt.

@theepicmap grew up in NO and my dad and I used to go fishing down that way. Hard to put words to if you’re not from there. Buggy, hot, inexplicably magical, creepy AF.

What’s it like living in Port Fourchon, Louisiana?

@Julius_Kim Yup

It is so eerie how Trump’s MO mirrors that of the worst DV perpetrators I prosecuted in my career.

Every Mardi Gras Day, something extraordinary emerges from the backstreets of New Orleans. It’s a tradition most tourists will never see. This Sunday, 60 Minutes goes inside the elaborate culture of the Mardi Gras Indians, also known as Black Masking Indians. 60Minutes.com

Four hundred years of colonial misery condensed into five mesmerizing minutes,The Clash’s “Straight To Hell” intuitively connects the cruelty inflicted upon 19th century Congo, 20th century Vietnam and the dispossessed working poor of everyplace. Maybe Strummer’s greatest lyric.

WHITE HOUSE'S LEAVITT: US IS CONSIDERING WAIVING THE JONES ACT FOR A LIMITED PERIOD OF TIME

@zillowgonewild Love this. Would book a showing if I were a buyer in Witchita.

I don’t think we are always into contemporaries but I am into this wooded vibe?? Currently listed for only $235,000 in Wichita (didn’t know you could get homes that cheap these days).

@ick_real Long walks, no destination.

During a very dark period, what was the best thing you ever did for your mental health?

@CoachDanGo Can only speak for myself but it’s 💯 true for me.

A hill I'm willing to die on: Life becomes 10x easier when you make walking a part of your day. Walk in the mornings, during meetings, after meals, to relieve stress, fix issues, come up with ideas, watching tv etc...Make walking a default part of your day and life gets easier.

“The time has come, God knows, for us to examine ourselves, but we can only do this if we are willing to free ourselves from the myth of America and try to find out what is really happening here.” -James Baldwin

The tacky monsters want your eyes on anything but fair elections. Stay focused.

@LadyHollowTree Thank you for sharing! My beloved late Mum always called them “hot lips” 😍

We had one male and three females in the lilac bush! I managed to catch some blurry photos of one of the females at our kitchen window feeder. I love the way her color comes out with her wings spread in flight.

When you can be killed by federal agents while not breaking the law, what's the point of not breaking the law?

Remember when Black Lives Matter activists said what they were trying to fix affects everyone, just Black people first? Remember when Black scholars said anti-Black policies eventually always end up hurting others? Remember when Black journalists said it wasn’t economic angst?

Totally.

@luusssso I live near Norm’s, what a gem!

Long live the American diner aesthetic
