Then let’s talk about whether you should exist on this app or not.

Let’s do some acceptance with you today.

You gonna see today.

Boston makes you pay for a yearly residents parking sticker which corresponds to the neighborhood you live in. Big fan of this. You are not entitled to free storage of your personal property on public property. Pay up.

In case you wondered, intersectionality is important.

Shifting rapid response observation to law enforcement observation where relevant matters in every city.

Municipalize all nonprofit housing and dissolve the orgs. They have decided to toss people out on the street.

RS Eden is out here saying "housing is what we do," and im sitting here like, if that were true, i wouldn't be adopting rents.

like at the end of the day it really seems like it suits these fuckers just fine to have a permanently unhoused/unstable underclass to charge the city $$ for a SOW.

What a small mayor we have.
Here’s some retail therapy you can use to cope right now:

It's not radical to understand that housing is a human right regardless of a subjective judgement about whether you work hard or are deserving.

A+ choices being made here. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ five stars.

Also Counting Owls is a tribute band waiting to happen.

1mil is what Phillips raised, too.

Neighbors Helping Neighbors/Whittier Alliance has raised $1.7 so far.

Both still have more need than they can meet.

Today’s bronzer level is: Valencia

Nonprofit industrial complex. Run by the wealthy to maintain do-gooding jobs for their trending-leftist children. Not interested in structural change.

Can we start shaming people who don’t have empathy or imagination or respect for basic human needs like housing?

The same day Frey vetoed a temporary extension of the pre-eviction notice, the MN Senate passed rental assistance and… a temporary extension of the state’s pre-eviction notice. Jim Abeler voted for it so Frey & some CMs are to the right of some MN republicans.

It shouldn't fall to trans people to explain to cis people why creating laws that effectively amount to "If you have or ever had a penis, you must behave this way; If you have, or ever had a vagina, you must behave this other way" is horrifically dangerous for everyone's rights.

Ah ha ha ha ha ha! YES!

current status:

This is one of the things that really shows how shortsighted Frey's decision is. Landlords rarely get paid when they evict someone, even in the long run. In MN, you can't collect rent on an eviction judgment; you need to sue separately. And most rent assistance won't pay arrears for prior residences

AI autocomplete doesn’t just change how you write. It changes how you think AI-powered writing tools are increasingly integrated into our e-mails and phones. Now a new study finds biased AI suggestions can sway users’ beliefs

“Overall, the study participants who saw the biased AI text shifted their positions toward those espoused by the AI.”

BREAKING: Bipartisan group of Senators call for an independent audit of the Justice Department’s protocol when redacting the Epstein files.

Tobin and his pal whom we call TOG (The Other Guy, bc he is not Tobin or McCavity)

The outdoor kitties are bonded which is very cute.

lmao incredible new euphemism unlocked: I’m on a flight and they just said we’re going to be going through an area of “enhanced” turbulence

FWIW, folks went after Warnock's liberal-leaning faith too — particularly his self-ID as a "pro-choice pastor."

The attacks failed, partly because support for abortion rights is the *majority* position of every major U.S. Christian group — except white evangelicals. religionnews.com/2020/12/18/r...

Walter Matthau just chuckled from the grave.

My daughter’s friend said to her, “Look, I don’t want to be the bad news bear, but—“

“You mean the bearer of bad news?” she asked.

“Isn’t it the bad news bear? The bear that delivers bad news?”

“Why would a bear deliver bad news?”

And that was kind of it.

Whoever is the next Secretary of State is going to have some big shoes to fill.

Me neither, but they’ll learn this war won’t end just bc Trump decides he doesn’t want to play with this toy anymore. Why would Iran reopen the strait with the threat of renewed attack hanging over them? Or with Israel continuing to bomb? They killed or discredited the pro-negotiations faction.

A happy dog resting on a sofa with a bright orange ball.

She found this ball outside and keeps it with her at all times. Find your joy. Wash your joy off a little if necessary.

A porcupine perched on a tree trunk that has been partially uprooted by the wind, so it’s nearly horizontal

You may need a thing about now that isn’t awful. Here. Have a porcupine in a tree that I spotted near the St Lawrence River. I talked to them for a while and told them they were cool. I hope they got the vibe.
