Hello new followers! I'm your auntie who likes to remind you that you are enough.
I swear, I knit, I read and write romance and read almost anything, I am chronically ill. I post about anything and everything and fangirl over BTS and many other kpop groups. Kindness matters. Remember that.

Periodically I see people justifying means-testing to ensure The Rich don't get stuff for free when they can afford it.
I see the logic, but we can just tax them more.
Plus, the BIGGEST thing not means-testing solves is
*deep breath*
IT STOPS RICH PEOPLE FINANCIALLY-ABUSING THEIR KIDS ANYMORE.

Hey you, who's looking over the Han River
If we bump into each other while passing, would it be fate?
Or maybe we bumped into each other in our past life
Maybe we bumped into each other countless times

I have had it with the justifications. The weaponization of poverty, neurodiversity, mental illness, all of it.
if you follow me and are using my RTs of authors' books to pirate books (many who are financially struggling, I might add), then frankly fuck off.

The people spreading misinformation know exactly what they are doing. They don't care and they made sure that you won't care either. At least not until it's too late. White supremacy is a death cult and it isn't the only one. Hating your neighbors will kill them and you too.

Take your problems out to the forest and leave them beneath the trees.
You'll feel better, and it's also a good way to feed the monsters of moss and gloom who lurk in the shadows, so it's a win-win.

FIRE is not a free-speech org. It’s a right-wing group that cynically uses the 1st Amendment as a cudgel to promote its many biases, including transphobia.

A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

Mr L just tested positive for Covid. He's going to urgent care to get paxlovid, I started him on h1 and h2 antihistamines. We are doing masking protocol in house and he has moved to a separate room with an air purifier.

A lot of specializing medical clinics are PE-owned, and it's staggering how much they feel like factories churning out products. In particular, the upper endoscopy/colonoscopy place I go to has really sacrificed care on the altar of efficiency and profit. You're out of there the moment you're awake.
Private equity is looting our malls, doctors' offices, and nursing homes.
Heck, you name it, and private equity has probably already bought it.
Their scheme spares no one. I’m fighting to stop it.
