Idea: no corporate welfare, subsidies, or government contracts for corporations whose employees need to rely on government assistance because of low wages.

I am really struggling and tonight one of my returning writing students who is the QUEEN of quips invented a state in her fairy story called Flyida instead of Florida and I am obsessed with how quick her humor is.

Proud of you for waking up. Can you pick one of these now? Get out of the bed for at least five minutes. Fill up a water bottle, tumbler or cup and give me two good drinks. Eat something with some protein or fiber. Text a family member or friend you love.

We still need $258.76 more to meet this need. We need to be able to pay this bill tonight so that her electricity is not cut off tomorrow. Could you chip in? Could you share?

Happy Monday! Let's meet a need! We have a single mom with debilitating health issues that have made regular employment impossible. She is going to have her electricity cut off tomorrow if her bill is not paid. We need $293.76 to keep this woman and her kiddos in a functional, safe living space.

We have a beautiful woman getting married next week & one of her best friends (who is also a part of Rise) is, as of right now, going to have to miss the wedding because of finances. Is there anyone who has airline miles who might be able to make their dream of sharing this day together possible?

Middle school classes start tonight! Upper elementary on Thursday! In this class, students will learn the basic building blocks of creative fiction writing. Together we will work on character sketches, layered settings, plot development, balancing narrative, dialogue and action, and much more.

Just finished a walk and, in some moment of liberation, when I got hot I just took off my shirt and finished in my sports bra. Good gracious the little ways we have just embraced being uncomfortable as women in order for others to be undisturbed by our existence.

Tarrant County’s decision to reduce the number of polling locations ahead of midterm elections is another attempt to put distance between voters and the ballot box. We’re not asking for permission to vote. We’re demanding access. fortworthreport.org/2026/09/01/a...

Tarrant County’s November elections will have 92 fewer places to cast ballots than 2022

Seriously, sign this. Keshia Golden is very pregnant fought off a known abuser to protect herself. She acted in self-defense. She stabbed him in the leg in order to get away from him *as he attacked her,* and they were going to try her for first-degree murder for it. She must be pardoned.

Dating as a full grown adult (close to 40) in 2026 is so ridiculous because why am I over contemplating which emojis I am putting in each text 🙃 Gotta get my oil changed, prepare myself for perimenopause and decide between the ☺️ and the 😊.

Awful. Just awful. A promising young man, a high school honors grad who joined JROTC and dreamed of becoming a doctor, killed himself because of the Trump admin’s obsession with hurting Haitians and the humiliating shame of an ICE ankle monitor. His blood is on their hands.
A picture of a young black man, dressed in a light blue suit with a smart black bow tie, smiling as he is handed a diploma from a school official, a white man in his 40s-50s who is also smiling. Underneath is the caption “Pierre Damas Bel receives his high school diploma. (Family Photo/Instagram)”Bel arrived in the United States in 2024 in order to reunite with his parents, who had fled Haiti three years before. The family was granted temporary protected status, purchased a home in Springfield and settled into life in the U.S. Bel dreamed of studying medicine and graduated high school last May with honors and as a proud member of the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC), his father said. He was the eldest of three siblings and his family described him as smart and responsible.

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it may ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

Target paid its CEO $21.8M last year — 794x the median Target worker's pay of $27,506. Target has also spent $13.9B on stock buybacks since 2019, while remaining among the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients in America. This is what I mean by a rigged economy.
