Wouldn't it be cool if each year at tax time, we got an itemized budget list from the govt & we could choose where we want OUR individual taxes to go toward.
You think anyone would choose check the box "40 billion to Argentina?" How about "78 billion to ICE?"
OUR money is not Monopoly money!

I hate that I have to pin this, but it's getting ridiculous that I have to block dozens of creepy men every day.
Just stop! I'm not interested!
You're not a general, a doctor, a cop or a nice man. You're a creep! You're a weirdo! I have a Mod list for creepy men and I will share it far and wide.

Why is printer ink so damn expensive? I never print in color but my color cartridges always run out.
I think it would be cheaper to buy a new printer that comes with ink than to buy a pack of color cartridges ($90)

Where would you be living if the New World hadn’t been “discovered?”
I’d either be in France/Portugal (maternal) or England/Scotland (Paternal) I probably wouldn’t exist though because my parents would not have met.
How about you?

I know we have a lot of plates spinning here in the U.S. but we need to be aware of human rights abuses happening all over the world,especially with some leaders modeling their leadership styles after tRump. Show some love and follow Human Rights Watch.
Palestinians in Gaza will continue to suffer and die so long as Israel maintains its unlawful blockade of Gaza and does not restore basic services like electricity, water and health care.
States should take urgent action to prevent further rights violations.

Am I missing something? When I get my insurance statements and see that my doctor only got paid $20 for my visit......why can't I just give him the $20 and skip the whole insurance crap? Is insurance just a scam?
