Wow. Fiona Apple is a real one. Watch this video. Calling for donations to bail out Black mothers for Mother’s Day. Her fans already came through w donations & spreading the word. Over $30k! Let’s “fetch the bolt cutters” & support even more. I just gave. givebutter.com/nHSrnp

Where the fuck I'm supposed to put it?

Today is my birthday! #Blessed to see another year.

PSA: My 17 month old gave me an early gift Thursday AM: She hid my phone & I haven't been able to locate it. If you've texted or called me, please don't think I'm ignoring you. I left town & won't have my phone for a few days.

Spoken like someone who has a lot of secrets yet to emerge.

le_renarde_amer🦊 objkshn She is a human being too. You keep talking about what others don't owe but of what she must respect. She doesn't owe a mother and sister who'd abandon her shit, let alone respect. If she wants to know her brothers, it's her choice and they have a right to know she exists

Adoption drama. I was adopted as an infant. Connected with my aunts in birth family through ancestry 5 years ago but birth mother still wants no contact with me. Now one of 3 siblings found out about me but birth mother doesn’t want her talking to me or telling other siblings.

It’s almost like Sheriff and Attorney General want the deaths to continue.

It’s almost like those who endorse and vote for Sheriff Kelly Martinez and Attorney General Rob Bonta want the deaths to continue.

Case in point for how bad Todd is at math.

1000 people in temp shelter who still need homes equals $30 million year operating cost plus $2 million year lease x 35 years per Gloria.

$30 million year puts 1000 people in market rate housing. Saves $2 mil/year and is a solution.

The before photo has lines on road. The after only has cones and tape. Lots of resurfaced roads still waiting for lines weeks later. What could go wrong?

This is New Hampshire Republican State Rep Jess Edwards arguing in favor of child marriage this week and referring to girls as “ripe” and “fertile.”

Thankfully, the bill passed and child marriage will soon be illegal in New Hampshire.

Today we start at a church that has been converted to 41 units of deeply affordable housing.

I cannot. I simply cannot. We are going to incarcerate a generation of teenagers for totally normal adolescent behavior and we're gonna pretend they're broken but it's us, it's our society that's fucked. Totally fucked.

And they do not tell you this with any expectation that it'll affect you. They'll just casually say 'Oh, btw, so-and-so won't be here today because they overdosed and died over the weekend.'

Like, nbd, just another human life lost b/c our society is fucked beyond belief.

Actually, this could get charged as 155+ felonies. But who’s counting?

DA gets more leverage by not filing. This way Summer Stephan keeps a judge in her pocket. If he doesn’t continue to deliver favorable rulings for her office, the threat of criminal prosecution remains. It’s for this reason he shouldn’t be hearing criminal cases at all. But is.

This judge obligated my client to pay a $280 fine for living in his car when he was poor and same judge refuses to refund the state money the judge defrauded it of by playing hooky 155 different days in an amount estimated to be between $82-$146k. A felony.

So, I am resolved. I will be using the rest of 2024 to bring my career as a PD to a close.

The choice was hard af b/c I still fervently believe in the the work that PubDefs do. But I can't work within the limitations of being employed by the same state I oppose any longer.

catrathustra 🏳️‍🌈 Wesley Morgan Ralphs Grocery There doesn’t have to be just one way to subsidize. If above market rent is more expensive I’m told there’s still a market for that as we need housing at all price points. But the critical need now not 5 years from now is low and very low.

Have you ever seen a genet?

It looks like a hybrid of a cat, a dog and a ferret, but it's indeed a family cousins of the mongooses, and more closely related to hyenas.
