Boy math is being peeing all over/ around the toilet and refusing to ever clean it up.

You idiots took a HARMLESS joke that women were making about THEMSELVES and proved how much you fucking hate women. Now you’re mad because the joke is on you, the jokes are funnier and they’re also facts. #girlmath #boymath

In two weeks, Biden will resume student debt payments—payments that have been paused for over three years. This will be a huge economic blow to tens of millions of families already struggling to get by. Grocery budgets will shrink. Pills will be cut in half. Evictions will rise.

It hurts my heart that there are three new updated vaccines ready to go which could save a lot of lives—and no public infrastructure to get them into arms

It is important to remember there were so many worlds before capitalism, so that we can be the future architects for the worlds yet to be imagined after capitalism and the climate crisis.

when we say that lack of COVID policy is eugenics, this is what we mean.

Chicagoans have been organizing for years to end the use of CPD's racist, ineffective, and error-ridden gang database.

Finally, we've won! 🎉

He says he'll fix it in the spring. No, I can't afford to move.

No, you can't be a slum lord and also a good person. A good guy wouldn't expect us to live with a broken fridge for over a year, because it kind of works on colder days. I have to throw out our food because of 2 extremely hot days.

[Black Lives Matter 🐙 (not an official account) @Behsharam]

I had no way to keep ice in my home on the hottest day in recorded history for my city, when my apartment reached 95 degrees, with 2 window units running. This is just going to get worse, for a lot of people.

[Black Lives Matter 🐙 (not an official account) @Behsharam]

Even with 2 window units going, my apartment hit 95°. My refrigerator doesn't work at all on days like this.

[The Debt Collective 🟥 @StrikeDebt]

Biden: I'm going to cancel your student debt

Psyche! I'm going to restart your student payment

I'm going to lower your payment with SAVE

Psyche! Looks like your payment doubled under SAVE

Why aren't people thanking me enough for a good economy?

[PilsenCommunityBooks @PilsenCommBooks]

Open 11-7 today if you need a break from the heat! As always, masks required, and we have some for free if you need them.

[The Debt Collective 🟥 @StrikeDebt]

Someone just reached out to us who had a mo payment of $240 starting up again in Oct. If they did nothing they would have paid $240/mo for another 12 mo

Clicked on an email from @potus to certify income for SAVE on the promise that it would cut in half. Now payment is over $1000

#beautiful #poetry

[ShammiPara @Shammi35659470]

when I'm sad I read Mary Oliver
(when I'm happy I read Mary Oliver)
there are gods in poetry too
a pantheon
when time #scrapes fresh
bruise on soul
they apply salve with gentle hands
make waterlilies bloom
in blurry lakes
with one toe nudge
ember back to flame
