salty octopus!

Imagine…You’re 29 years old in NYC, in great health, and a few weeks from celebrating your 30th birthday. Your brother just got married. You haven’t met his wife yet, but you’re looking forward to. Life is good and things are going your way. Then you have an accident at work.

Dear @Olympics , The horses deserve medals too.

@scottsantens Every. Single. Time.

The results of another BIG pilot are now available. This one was in L.A. and provided $1,000/mo for a year (2022 to 2023) to 3,200 people and compared them to a control group of 5,000. Every household started in poverty and with kids or expecting a baby. Results: "Across the board, the study reported no negative effects of cash payments on participants, who were 'significantly more likely to secure full-time employment than to remain unemployed not looking for work' than those in the control group." "They had better employment outcomes, felt safer at home, enrolled their kids in more extracurriculars, and were more likely to leave domestically abusive situations... Within the first 6 months of the program, participants left situations of intimate partner violence more frequently than the control group. In the last 6 months, participants were more likely to establish proximate safety and work toward protecting themselves in the future." Clearly, basic income is particularly helpful for those in poverty and helps connect them to jobs they want to take and empowers them to refuse abuse. Poverty is a lack of money. Stop treating it as deserved punishment for bad choices. Poverty should not exist in a country as wealthy as the US, and it most definitely shouldn't be a thing for America's kids. businessinsider.com/los-angeles-gu…

@oldenoughtosay Zero hours contract? Please translate into American

@gothspiderbitch If this all goes south, it was nice knowing you

So remember how I built a life-size replica of the maze and elevator doors from “The Shining” a few years ago, and I put them in a closed-off room to keep them safe? Well, recently I’ve been spending more time in there to strengthen the maze and I’m about 98.4% sure it’s haunted.

Hey @NBCOlympics It's the Olympics. I'd rather see other competitors than US athletes standing around waiting their turn

40 million registered Dems DID NOT VOTE in 2020. If we move 1/4 of them to the polls, we win in a landslide. 1 in 4. We can do that.

@SenWarren Make illegal for investors to own housing, please

America is in a full-blown housing crisis, and it’s no secret why: we don’t have enough housing. I'm introducing a major bill to build 3 million new homes and lower the cost of housing – all paid for by taxing the ultra-wealthy. bostonglobe.com/2024/07/29/bus…

@i_iratus I pulled into a driveway 2 away from the one I've lived in for 2 years It's hella scary. There's some research showing B6 and B12 may help Whether it actually helped me or my brain fog just went away by itself, IDK. But I'm going to keep taking the B vitamins

This is very bad

The White Dudes for Harris call better raise at LEAST 33% more than the women’s call at a minimum. You know why….

@RyanMarino @therecount Looks like shit on him

@RepEricBurlison Tell me you don't understand the international economy without telling me...

The national debt has now surpassed $35,000,000,000,000. This is unsustainable. We need to get our fiscal house in order.

Pattie Gonia is weird and kind. JD Vance is weird and mean. The difference is Dems embrace kind weirdos like Pattie Gonia and Republicans want them to die.

@keithboykin NOT the way to do it

@WEschenbach @theblackcowgirl Shut the fuck up and fuck all the way off If you don't think every aspect of life is political you are too ignorant to have an opinion on anything, especially politics

@theblackcowgirl I say again with love and respect, every step you take into politics costs you supporters. You do wondrous, unbelievable work with horses, reading, & children. Don't destroy that by getting on a political high horse … wrong kind of horse for you. My best to you and yours, w.

Please read. I have and will continue to speak up about social injustices, equality & the many things I advocate for.
