Millionaires stopped paying into Social Security for the rest of 2026 today.
Billionaires stopped paying in on January 1st.
You're going to pay in for 298 more days.
This makes zero sense. The wealthy should pay in all year like the rest of us.
Scrap the cap.
That'll show us!

My hottest mental health take:
A lot of depression and anxiety is situational, and warranted, because people live in shit circumstances. They’re poor, without resources, etc. and the reason it’s become popular to blame “mental health” is because it’s a way of evading responsibility.
Oooo...just bought it!
A budget is a moral document.

It was that kind of chat
Widow's Biscuit. It's on preorder. Pre-ordered. Will have to wait three whole weeks!
I can buy it! What's the title of Book 2 in the Forbidden Tea series?
Always listen to Mittens.
Thanks @erynmccee.bsky.social for a lovely #horrorwriterschat today! My skin is crawling and I'm terrified to open my mouth lest a critter crawl in. Well done you!
Nothing of my own to promote today, but I did quite like @erynmccee.bsky.social 's novel FORBIDDEN TEA. Charming, well mannered, but oh so deadly. Justice delivered with biscuits. #horrorwriterschat
Whew!
Sorry. This whole line of questioning is giving me the creepie crawlies.
Ooo...I like it. We never give jellyfish enough credit for intention. #horrorwriterschat
An endless spiral of shiny carapaces, antennae raking the air. The synchronized click of millions of feet. The acrid smell. The arms of the cockroach spiral stretched for miles. AT the center was a writhing mass big enough to cover only a single human body. And it was enough. #horrorwriterschat
Thank you! I've followed both and saved up tabs for reading and listening for later. Perfect!
And they fly! And the smell! I know they'd can just knock you off like a spider, but they're somehow worse.
Pro tip: keep your mouth closed when they attack! #horrorwriterschat
One flew up and hit me in the forehead once. It was 20 years ago. I still remember.
I picked swarms of cockroaches too! Maybe it's a tropical thing, but those giant roaches that fly or scuttle around on the ground half the size of a shoe...SHUDDER #horrorwriterschat (full props to the hubby)
Can you recommend a source for creepy folklore about birds? Like maybe a creepy bird folklore reference manual? Or set of essays? I'm intrigued. #horrorwriterschat
Swarms of cockroaches. #horrorwriterschat
