The Duke crossed the rainbow bridge just before 9 a.m. We had 15 great years together. The most stubborn, incredibly spoiled best boy ever. #TheDukeLife #hounddogs #rescuedogs

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

When you thought a 5:45 a.m. wake up was a good idea and mom retaliated with a 3-mile walk. Let’s see what Sunday morning brings.

This thread explains why - and just how much - federal DEI programs matter.
Trump has signed an executive order eliminating all funding for diversity and inclusion in the federal government, sending home DEI staff who will then be laid off. The historical echo for this is when Woodrow Wilson resegregated the federal government in 1913. We have reached the second nadir.

The patriarchy is so misguided.
This is a quote from my latest novel, BY ANY OTHER NAME. And that’s why so many readers have felt particularly SEEN while reading the book.
“She did not understand why a woman’s accomplishment had to come at the price of a man’s worth—as if there were a finite amount of success in the universe, as if letting another into that sacred space meant someone already there would be evicted.” @jodipicoult.bsky.social

Lunch debt shouldn't exist, first of all. But second of all, *turning down funds* and *incurring legal fees to take the families to court* really makes clear that the real concern is not actually about the food being paid for. It's just punishing poor families
