I’m so excited to be an 8th ward girl. 🥰⚜️🎱
Collection agent woke me up and was so nasty when I said that the bill was unlikely to be paid at over 20% of my yearly income. She suggested I’d lived beyond my means by getting an emergency endoscopy. 😆 Must be nice to live in a country where getting sick doesn’t lead to daily harassment.
I love her. 😍 ⚔️ By Canadian artist Caige Baker.
It's not unreasonable to demand more. In fact, if you hate fascism, then it's necessary to demand more and then force it.
Gatekeeping medical care, housing, food, education behind the ability to work and bring in enough money is a eugenics program - it's a kind of moralism that suggests that people who were not able to work do not deserve to be alive. Prison is a way to create a permanent underclass of the desperate.
Read a Reddit story that made me laugh and reminded me of Shane & Atom. (Pink Zombie Rose excerpt.) Reddit link below. 🤣 I need an update on this one.
I live in the southern US. Today a MAGA neighbor texted this. 🤔 (In the past they’ve said I’d be “just perfect” if not for being a lefty.)
Hahaha. My hometown and the setting for both Little Gores and the Pink Zombie Rose series.
Never stopped using mapquest. Their maps show actual factual geography rather than following the whims of fascism. www.youtube.com/shorts/_BbHJ...

Krewe of Dolly at Mardi Gras (not my shit. I wish!)
In the wee hrs, he phoned to play a new song for Dolly and they urged him to call back in the AM. “She’s way down underneath the cover.” Merle said “Well, you go wayyyyy down underneath the cover and wake her up.” www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIiT...

Algorithms be like that one person who gives you, cat themed gifts every birthday and Christmas because you own a cat… forcibly, thrusting in identity upon you based on one bias input PS, why the fuck are Gummies taking over everything 
A child complains of thirst and her father says. “Let the doggy burn energy. You can have whatever ya want after.” “A treat too or just a drink?” My troublemaker friends begin to muse on the best snocone stands. Later, I tell the main guy that he’s lucky to be alive. He smirks. 🍧 #dogpark
Outside of the dog park, there’s a solemn “free pile” that’s usually empty except for the occasional kibble, milkies, treats & squeaks, all lovingly stacked on on an empty bed. 🦴💔
The only downside of getting a miraculous deal that still blows my mind…. It has taken a month to get the city of New Orleans to bring the meter back. Soon I’ll feel like He-Man, Master of the Universe: “I HAVE THE POWER!” ⚡️🔌💡🪩🕺🏿
