Miiriya Mutual Aid System raised $150,000+ for 150+ struggling people in just a small period of time, paying for their groceries, electric/water/phone bills, prevented eviction etc. The system already exists, now enough ppl just need to know about it so ppl meet their goals even faster, make noise

I created an app where you can shop Black Owned Businesses on one app. It has a Mutual Aid section and so far it helped raise $150,000+ people struggling in the community. Reaching out to Blacksky to help spread this, this combo of helping Black Businesses, simultaneously giving back is amazing and-

Former FBI Director James Comey's indictment is more than a case—it's a warning.

It’s the most obvious instance yet of targeting political opponents, while letting allies off the hook. 🧵

I remember when I used to think “nobody owes you anything”.

These past couple years I have been vehemently rejecting that idea. I think we all owe each other so much, actually.

And how much of a better world would we have if we all believed that?

I feel like those are all different things.

Also, the duvet is the thing that goes inside the duvet cover.

This is how I learned “bedspread” is country.

We said quilt, bedspread, & comforter growing up. I did not hear about duvets until I was grown, & I still don’t really understand them LOL.

One of the wildest things the internet ever called me country for was saying "bedspread."

Since I also still eat things my great grands ate (I was eatin neckbones before I grew teeth) I'll give y'all that.

Because how fucking STUPID does that sound?!

Why would somebody stay pregnant for 8 or 9 months and then kill a baby during fucking delivery?!

And she's 35!

This is the impact of not teaching sex ed in the 2000s.

Not to mention the fact that when the job market radically, suddenly changes, employers stop hiring or hire young/cheap/less experienced workers.
So if your field has dried up, no matter how smart you are, how hard you look, or how skilled you are, you can't find work if there aren't enough jobs.

Credit where credit is due. The Democrats' message that the GOP shut down the government because they want to throw millions of people off healthcare has broken through. Two of my cousins who are NOT AT ALL tuned into national politics told me that this is why the government is shut down.
