@GethousedRuthie Thx! Thought of you today because I put Miguel Dilone down for Immaculate Grid.

@Sports_Realist @timecaptales @ClaasEhlers if you know about this and never told me, I'm going to be very disappointed!!! lol. If you didn't, you're welcome.

@GethousedRuthie Also Charlie Spikes and Larvell Blanks….

@GethousedRuthie @nut_history @CleGuardians I am also partial toward Juan Eichelberger who graced your team with fleeting ineptitude.

Greatest names in MLB history. Post it in this 🧵 I’ll go first: Coco Crisp

@GethousedRuthie @nut_history Ruthie, in deference to your hometown team how about Horace Speed?

In Georgia, a mom facing eviction reached out to DFCS for help. They offered her nothing. Soon the agency took her kids away because of "inadequate housing." The state then spent $6,200/month to house her kids in foster care. A must-read by @stephannnnie propublica.org/article/georgi…

@michaelharriot With apple sauce. Don’t knock it if you haven’t tried it.

So y’all just be eating mashed potatoes with no gravy?

@ChefReactions It tastes like you toasted something and forgot to take the saran wrap off.

@AdamCSharp Growing up with Berlin born mom know it well. The other constant word was dussbuttl (sp) meaning lovable idiot for when you called something common a dingsbums.

In German, if you forget the name of something, you wouldn’t say pass me that whatchamacallit or doodad. You’d instead call it a Dingsbums. Another fun German word (though more for bits and bobs) is Krimskrams * Read on for more names for thingamajigs around the world (a thread)

This should preface every discussion of the issue. We are in the absurd position of fighting so people can live in subhuman conditions. The issue is the commodification of housing and the extraction of wealth from the poor. This has to frame every conversation on the issue.

"Some of it is about resource constraints... so advocates sometimes end up defending situations that, while far less than ideal, seem preferable to forcing unhoused people into living situations they don’t want." This is a core dilemma.

Make a 20-track comp of your all-time fav tracks, each artist can only feature once. Not the 'best' songs, the ones that bring instant joy the second you hear the first note, the ones that give other people the best insight into what stirs your soul. Share when ready. #20tracks

It is no exaggeration to say that the @500SongsPodcast is one of the absolute best things to happen to me in my 50s. Slightly behind my kids getting married, slightly above discovering the music of Grant Green. Way above just about everything else! newyorker.com/culture/podcas…

Can you guess what happens when you give kids food stamps? ... ... ... ... They... ⚫live longer, ⚫invest more in human capital, ⚫are more economically self-sufficient, ⚫live in better neighborhoods, ⚫are less likely to be incarcerated. academic.oup.com/restud/advance…
