Reporters asking me about the new KOSA text, here is my official statement:
"Fight for the Future's organizational policy is to oppose any piece of legislation that is unveiled on the eve of a major Federal holiday, regardless of what it says. We feel this is the most principled position."

I am finally getting around to watching this. I like Nicole Holofcener's films and I don't know how it passed me by. So far it seems sweeter than the other films I know of hers.

If you're gonna say something said was taken out of context, *you have to provide the correct context* in order for your argument to be valid. You can't just blurt out CONTEXT and expect that to shield you.

Oh man, I made a "Platner" joke a while back referencing celebrated designer/architect Warren Platner's famous chair, without knowing that *he is actually Graham Platner's grandfather*. To call this dude "working-class" feels like a bit of a stretch.

It is infuriating that "Just give people money/homes" is such an effective solution to do many social problems, yet most of our governments refuse to entertain it as any sort of option.
"$1,000 a month as part of a state program experimenting with giving homeless youths cash payments for two years with no strings attached."
"Of the 117 youths [..] who completed Oregon's two-year pilot program, 91% reported being in stable housing."

VIDEO: Seattle Starbucks workers are on strike right now, trying to achieve their first contract to secure a living wage, proper staffing and good working conditions.
I spoke to Emma Cox, a barista at the U District Starbucks who’s helping lead the picket line at her store.

YES: In California, protesters in long lines are purchasing 17¢ ice scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to slow down the entire store – aiming to force Home Depot to scrape ICE out. 👏. GOOD TROUBLE.

I am still losing weight, as I can now squeeze into a pair of pants that I haven't worn for 20 years and couldn't close even a few weeks ago. At least this feels like "healthy" weight loss due to lower sugar/carb intake, compared to my sudden weight drop before going into the hospital. 🤔

The bf and I put up this shelf in the dining room under my print of Dalí's Last Supper. We threw some stuff on it, and it turned out okay I think! He wanted the bottle of Spirit of Hven because the dining room is primarily orange. 🟠 And he stuck half a minifig in Audrey II's mouth. 😅🪴
