What is your favorite obscure Tears For Fears song and why is it Mother's Talk? Social worker by education, agnostic leaning towards atheist, mom, wife, Gen X, etc. etc. I like coffee, girly cocktails and 80's music

I love how rich people will blow their money on drugs, alcohol, fancy dinners, designer clothes but God forbid someone uses SNAP for "unhealthy" food or whatever the fuck and it's a national crisis
Unpopular opinion to some: There is no reason for anyone to be concerned about people “exploiting” SNAP.

Upset some don’t work? Upset people with SNAP have nice things? They should still have access to food.

Upset about what food they use benefits on? They should be able to treat themselves too.
I am team Keiarna on #rhop, I have always found Wendy to be insufferable and she's consistently rude to the other women. At least Keiarna is authentic and real #RHOP #Bravosky
One cannot underestimate how much the Texas GOP despises homeless ppl. Like really really hates people without homes. It's sickening
Good point. We can get so worked up defending all the reasons ppl are on SNAP that we forget that the reasons are irrelevant. SNAP is food. Everyone deserves food. It's sad we have to convince other people that everyone deserves food. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
The cruel, ignorant and insensitive posts I see about SNAP are astounding. This is about people who literally may not eat. The reasons they are food insecure are irrelevant at this juncture. When did human beings become completely defunct of empathy? I mean, we’re now in straight ghoul territory
Once again I will point out that Paranorman is one of those kids movies that is refreshingly interesting, engaging, & genuinely sweet and funny. Finally, a kids movie that isn't insufferable. And Halloween is the best time to watch it! #parentsky #parenting #moviesky #filmsky #stopmotion

I need to woman up and get a passport. I always make excuses bc the process is overwhelming. Additionally, I tend to get a lot of travel anxiety. I just need to get one, and maybe a trip to another country will happen for me. Anxiety sucks #travel
Went to a new PCP today for my annual exam and he didn't mention my weight once. Such a refreshing experience. And all my lab work came back and I am a perfect specimen. No diabetes or prediabetes. No high cholesterol. Perfect blood pressure. Imagine that

My husband saw it and cried three times but loved it. I'm too scared to watch it because I don't handle sad movies well ☹️😂
Team Jordan!!! One of the best people to be on #LoveIsBlind in my opinion. Seriously fuck that noise with Megan. He can do waaaaay better
Omg "Sparkle Megan" more like "Sparkle terrible person" amirite??? JFC what a bougie stuck up mothereffer #LoveIsBlind #LIB I hope one day she has to work for minimum wage with a kid then she might have an ounce of compassion
I'm not a marriage expert, but I've been married to the same person for 13 years and don't let anyone tell you that you have to "fight for your marriage" every day or that marriage is "hard work". Just ignore those ppl. Please #marriage #LoveIsBlind #relationships #LIB
This is awesome. Also, more videos and photos of the huge no kings protests in red states please #nokings #protests
Research shows that it takes around 3.5% of the population actively participating in actions to bring about transformative change. Keep going! #upupup
*waves* hi, my family benefits from free school lunches and we've been through the wringer w/ the marketplace and employment based health insurance. And don't get me started on rent increases. The political is personal and it's time to get involved. Being "non political" won't work this time
You wouldn’t be so stressed about money if your kid was able to get free lunch. You wouldn’t be so stressed about your doctor if they hadn’t stopped taking your insurance. You wouldn’t be so stressed about rent if you had rent control. Your failure to engage in politics is *why* your life is hard
If you have concerns about #SNAP benefits being cut for the most vulnerable I suggest you donate MONEY to your local food bank. They don't need cans of pumpkin, they need financial resources to get fresh food. Please donate. Oh, and also don't vote for assholes #foodbanks #SNAP #shutdown
There's no safety net for low income seniors. I hate to break it to you. More older adults live in poverty than you would care to know, and no Medicare doesn't cover everything. Hardly. So many people are spending their "golden years" just scraping by #retirement #SNAP #socialsecurity #Medicare
Imagine being in your 80's and you worked your whole life earning minimum wage or less so you have no retirement and rely on social security to live and you only have food because you get SNAP. And the government basically says fuck you, you don't deserve food #SNAP #shutdown #government
I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.
Oh thank God Nick ditched her ass
Omg did #Ali just say she would never "pawn her kids off to" daycare? So that's what women do who have to work and pay bills. Got it. So working mothers aren't real mothers #LoveIsBlind #LIB #AliandAnton what a tool
No jokes, is #Annie like high or on something all the time? Who looks and acts like that? #LoveIsBlind #LIB
This is what I love about Austin. "Keep Austin Weird" is totally cliche, but it references the fact that Austin has always been a haven for ppl who refuse to conform & and who refuse to be anything other than themselves. It's in our history as a city #Austin #TurnTexasBlue #Texas #NoKings
#NoKings Austin tagging in.
