Literature Lady, Ph.D. @literaturelady.bsky.social · 02/05/2025Heads up. Remember the supply chain issues during Covid that led to empty shelves? It is going to be that way for the USA in two weeks. My sister who works for a major US company with products in many big box stores is telling me that they are just about out of product. Time to stock up! 0244
Literature Lady, Ph.D. @literaturelady.bsky.social · 11/04/2025I'm meeting friends tomorrow at a local coffee shop to write our elected reps and vent. I've been doing this once a month.

Literature Lady, Ph.D. @literaturelady.bsky.social · 10/04/2025The SAVE Act just passed the house. This is a dark day for voting rights, especially for married women, the poor, and deployed families abroad. A passport here STARTS at $160, and with DOGE cutting so many services, many wouldn't get their passports in time for the November election. By design. 67632
Literature Lady, Ph.D. @literaturelady.bsky.social · 07/04/2025The GOP cut welfare funding because the poor are lazy, but they also support these tariffs that are tanking our retirement funds, which will require us to need welfare programs when we retire, but we'll be denied access because we didn't pull ourselves up by our bootstraps. Did I get that right? 1161

Literature Lady, Ph.D. @literaturelady.bsky.social · 14/02/2025To whoever needs to hear this: Elon Musk is not, contrary to popular belief, a technology guru.
