I just got my hair cut by a woman who has us all beat. She owns the shop but she also works two hours a week bussing at a fancy hotel restaurant so she can get employee deals at fancy hotels.

And two days a week she slings bags for Delta so she can fly wherever she wants for free.

OMG, @maureenthorson.bsky.social delivers line after incredible line. "What's religion but everyone knowing the words?" will tumble around in my brain for quite a while.

Children are the largest recipients of SNAP benefits. Also: Seniors, the disabled and the folks who care for them. Because that's what civilized countries do: Support their citizens when they need support and ensure they can live with dignity
