"Don't use SNAP, get a job! No, not that low-paying job, those are for teenagers, even though I expect the business to be open during school hours. And NO, you shouldn't get any kind of education, go into the trades, which definitely won't be overrun if everyone does that!"
Republican plan, y'all.

Black and Brown people. PLEASE, PLEASE for the love of us all do not allow yourself to be interviewed if SNAP benefits don't come on November 1. Make the white folks do the interviews. They love getting Black folks to do these interviews so that people think we are the only ones hurt.

it is ALWAYS worth pointing out who gets to be just a helpless little innocent precious baby boy at the age of 34, vs. who is framed by the cops as a big scary dangerous man whose candy bar might be a gun when he's barely in middle school, or described as a "13-year-old woman" by her predator
last i checked these young republicans were like 25 years old. but this is a classic case of infantilization to diminish the significance of the offense. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

This is an excellent article. Read it. Know what we're dealing with. SPEAK THE FUCK UP AND FIGHT.
That report was useful in taking a moment to look at the average and median ages of the most commonly banned books in the US over the last year.
Average? 22 years old, between PEN and ALA's reports.
Median? 17.
These aren't new books.

Searched for a book on Black history. Some bullshit by Ben Fucking Shapiro came up.
Ben Fucking Shapiro should shut the fuck up. He should shut the fuck up, STAY shut the fuck up, and fuck off into the sun forever and then longer than that. JFC, that dude sucks.

Its the spring shedding season, so here's a reminder to please be careful about leaving your dog's brushed-out outside for birds to use as nesting material. If you use a topical flea/tick preventative for your pets, their shedded fur can be toxic to nestling birds.

Y'all, do NOT mark your place in a book with a tissue. When you forget it's in there and return the library book with the tissue still inside, we have no idea whether it's used or not.
