I'm not a native Texan but I have been here for 22 years & honestly I'm kind of glad to see some recent transplants ready to leave Austin. Is that petty? Also, can Elon and Rogan follow suit? chron.com/culture/articl…

Danny Masterson is a predator who used power and fame to rape people because he knew his "church" would protect him. Anyone who wrote a "character letter" for him is scum and responsible for the continuation of trauma for three survivors who sought justice

Jesus fucking Christ my kingdom for the confidence of a douche who believes most "fat girls" would even give him a second glance. Having a fat ass does not impair judgment as much as you're hoping 😂😂😂 this must be a parody account, right?

My first reaction to anti-abortion groups wanting my info is a huge fuck you I don't give a fuck. But the truth is these requests are very scary/damaging. I will happily increase my donations to abortion funds in the wake of this news Lilith Fund Texas Equal Access Fund

I support Goodwill Austin because they provide vital services to our community, so consider shopping/donating. I bought this piece for under $2, yesterday I found out it's an original Steve Keene painting - pretty cool! Support Goodwill!

Important point. Private ed is about maintaining a wealthy status quo & many kids just don't fit the mold. Since entering kindergarten my son has received free assessments, tutoring, special ed svcs. via AISD. Supporting public ed is critical

I'm coming on here less frequently, just once in a while to see if there are news stories, etc of interest. I really like threads, if you want to connect over there send me a msg. My account is set to private bc I post pictures of my kids, etc.
