The pension conversation has turned, yet again, into Netflix and avocados. A quick thing though. Netflix: £20.99pm / £251.88pa Avo: 0.69p an avo - so £251pa if you had an avo every day. So, just over £500 a year Average 10% deposit? £27,300. So just 54 years to save there FFS.

Two years ago the reflecting pool was reflecting, the East Wing existed and was welcoming visitors to the People's House, and the Kennedy Center was financially stable and artistically thriving. Gasoline was semi-affordable and USAID was saving human lives all over the world.

Go vote. We don't have to live like this.

PSA: The Trump administration changed the form used to register and request absentee ballots, removing the checkbox for US citizens who have never lived in the US(even though some are eligible to vote under state law). The change could block eligible voters and was made without proper public notice.

GOP Sen. Thom Tillis privately tore into Trump in texts obtained by Politico:
Graphic featuring Donald Trump on the left and Republican Sen. Thom Tillis on the right, with two large iMessage-style text bubbles attributed to Tillis overlaid across the bottom. In the first message, Tillis tells Trump that Trump “NEVER” threatened him with a primary challenge, says Trump may have him confused with other Republicans he has threatened, and adds that if Trump had threatened him directly, he would have told him to “fck yourself” and immediately announced his retirement. He ends, “Save those threats and head games for cowards and fools.” In the second message, Tillis writes, “I still want to help but I don’t take this bullsht from anyone, including you Mr. President,” adding, “Save that sh*t for the cowards who don’t care if you fail. I care if you fail and right now we are failing.”

I'm one of the few. I've never been inappropriately approached, cornered, touched, or sexually abused. That's not the same as being safe. Because I have done *every single one* of these things:
Every woman you know has taken the long way home.

Has held her keys between her fingers. Has pretended to be on the phone. Has looked over her shoulder. Has checked the backseat before getting into the car. Has sent someone her location (just in case). Has crossed the street to avoid someone. Has ran faster because she didn't feel safe.

Every woman you know has to thought about what she would do if something happened.

Every.

Woman.

You.
