This. Especially because I believe that writing is thinking (for me). I don’t want to lose that.
What people do not do, they often lose the ability to do. Which is sometimes fine! In my own life, I don’t have any great need to know how to do some of the math I once learned. But I don’t want to forget how to write.

Read about WHY Ketanji Brown Jackson stayed the SNAP order. Her move is probably the best solution for getting SNAP benefits approved quickly. open.substack.com/pub/stevevla...

lol when they say DEI benefits White women particularly, they're not lying. Like at all.
TLDR: A 2024 study reports that in tech, white women are seen as having more "diversity value" because Black representation is costly for the PERCEPTION of organizations. #blacksky #tech

One of the most chilling things about this story is that some did not even know it was ICE.
They thought it was “an attack on the school” i.e. a school shooter.
Think on that for a minute.

Whether the media reports it or not, everyone is experiencing the continuing high inflation of grocery and utility prices. The problem has not gone away.
