My family revitalizes abandoned homes, maintains them, and rents them fairly. I'm very proud of our work.
We also play games of all descriptions, especially on a table.
I like math and science most, but am interested in everything.

They say posting your art is the best thing to do here when you first start. My art is a card game called The House of Wisdom. It's about the amazing discoveries of the Islamic Golden Age; things that you know about, but maybe don't know where they came from.
The spaces between our homes should be full of beautiful places we can all enjoy, instead of just roads and places where you're only welcome if you're paying.

Clearest way to say it: RFK Jr wants to give ten thousand infants hepatitis because he's paid to be too stupid to know anything.
“ACIP has recommended a universal birth dose of the hepatitis B vaccine since 1991, after realizing a risk-based strategy wasn’t working. Annual hepatitis B infections among infants and children have dropped 99% from 16,000 to less than 20.”

Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.
They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

My parents, 500 miles away, sent my 5yo (among other things) a box of irreplaceable family memories for her birthday. USPS put it in front of my garage door. It was just the right size for me to back over it and drag it by my undercarriage to total destruction. Only the address label survived.

The president's pardon is absolute by design. The only legal remedy for its abuse is removal by impeachment. And what he's done *just in this regard* is sufficient grounds for it.
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com
“Trump has weaponized the pardon as a tool of executive lawbreaking and misconduct,” our columnist Jamelle Bouie writes.

In the right hands, the pardon power is too strong. In the wrong hands, it is disastrous.

One of the most common replies in any discussion of universal basic income is "but how do we pay for it?" and not once do those same people ever question the costs incurred by not doing UBI. We spend $1.5 trillion every year on the costs of child poverty alone. Poverty ain't free, folks. WE ALL PAY.

Remote school sucks because not only are they home but I have to vaguely pay attention just enough that work is impossible and then it's 2:00 and I've forgotten to make breakfast for myself.

In case your last experience with public school was as a student last millennium, I'd like to tell you that today my kids are home, but it's not a "snow day." I'm also partly responsible for their schooling which takes place over a high-speed internet connection.

You can just fire judges?! That's great, I have six in mind.
BREAKING NYT:
The Trump admin just fired eight immigration judges in New York City.
All the judges were dismissed from the immigration offices at 26 Federal Plaza — a building that houses the NYC headquarters of ICE and has become the epicenter of migrant arrests in the city.

So what I've learned – as we close in on a year of this nonsense – is that most Americans don't know the difference between "what government does" and "what good things magically just happen," especially if they are are high up in the executive branch.

I told my 9yo "our town doesn't do glass recycling anymore so glass goes in the trash now, unfortunately" and later barely stopped him from throwing away regular glasses including our seems-so-fancy-by-comparison margarita glass. It's like a Family Circus comic over here.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.
