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

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.

Massive crowd at the Texas State Capitol despite Gov. Greg Abbott’s activation of the National Guard.
I am always shocked when I hear people with privilege make comments that folks who are low income must be miserable. Like, oh poor them. It's dehumanizing. People, all people, are complex. Strengths and struggles. Resilience and vulnerability. How is this not clear?
Jordan seems like such a genuine good guy, I feel like Megan's going to fuck this up big time #LoveIsBlind
Omg Earth to #Megan plenty of kids grow up in one bedroom apartments and they're just fine. Holy Jesus #LoveIsBlind #LIB
I will admit it took a minute for #JohnOliver to grow on me but his most recent episode of Last Week Tonight focused on #BariWeiss is outstanding and very infuriating. It's a must watch youtu.be/gieTx_P6INQ?...

Walking around the UT campus area we saw "abolish ICE" spray painted on the sidewalk and more than one rainbow flag on houses. Makes me feel slightly better about the world, I really hope this town can still be a blue oasis #Austin #ATX #Texas #TurnTexasBlue
Some people do #ACL, we decided to go see an awesome #SNL exhibit at UT Austin Ransom Center today. Amazing stuff #saturdaynightlive
