I've only been able to keep up with my Mutuals feed on here, so if I'm following you but you're not seeing me in your notifications, it's not because I hate you, I'm just overwhelmed and am limiting the number of posts I see overall.

everyone's basic needs should be taken care of anyway, BUT...
if we insist on means-testing disability, you should be approved first, tested later.
"sorry, we're not sure you're disabled enough. live in your car for a year and get sicker while you try to qualify uwu" is inhumane.

Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

Right now we are running off of less than $300 a month… so 4x that a month would be amazing.

I got a book on English grammar out of my library hoping I could consult it for ESL tutoring, but the only conditional it mentions is the difference between modals 'should' and 'would'. ESL-oriented sites explain zero, first, second, and third conditional.

This is *ALWAYS* the result.
Poverty and homelessness are choices, made not by the individuals suffering each, but by the society who keeps electing people who refuse to put a stop to it.
We KNOW what policies work.

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

Just read aloud my colonial chapter last night. I urge US immigration historians to include enslaved importation instead of setting it aside. If they are going to include indentured servants migration, they should include enslaved force migration as well. Why? 1/

I'm really glad I'm listening to the audiobook of Babel concurrently to having read this, because in many ways it's the sequel that I actually needed.
The Rose Field complete.
I'm definitely taking less away from this than the first trilogy, but I'm not unhappy with how it went. It rather does feel open-ended, though. I was surprised it ended where it did.

I knew Trump would come after Minnesota soon. We're being targeted BECAUSE we are progressive, happy, and not cooperating with his regime. And we will resist even more now.
The Trump administration targeting Somali Minnesotans is not about finding criminals, it is an effort to sow chaos, scare people, and demonize immigrants and Muslims. We stand with our Somali communities.

Recently had a conversation with a conservative family member in which I was obliged to explain that "I don't think some people are people" is NOT a political stance and that avoiding family members who don't believe all people are people is not "choosing politics over family". 🫠
"I chose a crass serial rapist and adulterer, who calls women 'nasty' and 'piggy,' and took away by daughters' reproductive rights, over my daughters. So why are they displeased with me??? It must be all THEIR fault! I take no responsibility. NONE!"
