How many accidents are you having that you need your insurance company's app on your phone?

Small lottery win, car damaged.
Work bonus, fridge dies.
Tax refund, root canal. (current)
Etc etc etc πŸ˜‘

I have way too many such examples, where any small gain is immediately clawed back.
And while I am grateful for the times I have been allowed to almost break-even by a perceived windfall and I marvel at the timing, as if the universe was looking out for me in some small way..
maybe, just once, let me have the win.

If you're shocked TX Gov Abbot is planning to pardon Daniel Perry for murdering a man at a peaceful BLM marchβ€”just rememberβ€”TX is the state that sentenced a Black woman to 5 years for an uncounted ballot, but not a white male judge for deliberate voter fraudβ€”in the same County. TX sentenced a Black kid to 10 years for punching & killing 1 person, but not an affluent white teen for getting drunk & killing 4β€”they had the same judge

Texas GOP has proudly chosen fascism over democracy. Believe them

A prosecutor in (IIRC) NYC previously said Jr was too stupid to prosecute. I hope that isn't the same finding here.

Suggestion: When inviting people, elected officials, celebrities, journalists, news services, public institutions, etc., to Mastodon, be sure to include a link to #Mastodon or an instance you recommend. It may sound like spoon-feeding, but making it as easy as possible for people in the moment they are thinking about it does help.

Raised by Birchers in Utah, and probably would still be one, but I had the great luck to be born gay, which forced me to re-examine everything I'd been taught.

All work meetings should be scheduled at least one week in advance because it takes that long to properly ramp up the meds.

I was horrified when I read what Sonequa Martin-Green got dished up, when she landed the role as Michael Burnham. I think she's been excellent, and I've loved Discovery.

It takes time and experience to shake off the brainwashing they received growing up. Sadly, some of them never will.

The future of 44 million Ukrainians is jeopardized because the US gives security clearance to a disgruntled, young gun nut, who wanted to impress his online buddies by posting state secrets online?

Wait… WHAT?!!!!?!

I think we should have something called Business Nude, I haven't worked out all the details yet, but I like the sound of it.

Since the beginning of the Biden administration, I've been pushing HHS to extend ACA, Medicaid, and CHIP access to DACA recipients who were unfairly excluded.

Today, the admin. announced that DACA recipients will soon be eligible for the same care as their neighbors. Thank you, President Biden, for this welcome news and for providing DACA recipients with access to the affordable care they need.

Today’s supervisor hopes you get outside in the sun today.

When you have lost NPR, the most benign and fair member-funded news organization in the USA, you know you are making bad choices. Get off Twitter; save Tesla.
