She looks like that other actress but she's not her - and other things my husband actually understands when say them

They are entitlement programs. I've paid into Social Security since I was 12 years old, washing dishes in a restaurant. I've worked for decades now, always paying my full share into SSI. I'm entitled to that money - it's mine. Until the 80s, when Ronnie decided it was OK to treat the SSI fund as a piggy bank that could be raided, it was fine. Better than fine, it was great. Then Republicans decided to swap funds for IOUs, and now they don't want to pay it back.
Tough shit for them.

Everyday Americans pay 99% of taxes they owe, while the top 1% hides over 20% of their income from the IRS each year.

We need to make it easier for everyday Americans to receive their tax refunds, instead of making it easier for tax cheats to skip out on paying their fair share.

From the beginning, I’ve always ensured that Mastodon headquarters is fully stocked with the finest toilet paper the world has to offer: Charmin Ultra Soft.

I've been lurking w/o #introduction but that now just seems unneighborly. So, hi! I'm a humanities & digital scholarship librarian at a midwestern liberal arts college. PhD in English and teaching/research interests in critical digital & #data studies, life writing, US literatures, and #DH. When I'm not parenting or sleeping to recover from parenting, I'm probably running. Slowly. Or reading. Of course.

My partner gifted me this beautiful framed print of the first #DeepField taken by the #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope. It makes me feel like I'm peering into a portal into space. :space: :nasa:

Samsung just offered to have my phone track my movements and let me know when I'm near a store with "offers".

The Paradox of Tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance, not as a moral standard, but as a social contract.

If someone does not abide by the contract, then they are not covered by it.

In other words: The intolerant are not following the rules of the social contract of mutual tolerance.

Since they have broken the terms of the contract, they are no longer covered by the contract, and their intolerance should NOT be tolerated.

Yesterday I realized that 2023 will be the 10th anniversary of the original indie publication of my novel The Red: First Light, a book that marked my return to novel-length science fiction after a years-long hiatus (and got me my only Nebula-award nomination in the novel category). #timeFlies
