I saw Twenty One Pilots the other day in Cleveland and all of my dreams came true! I was the one holding up the multiple flowers! If you see or have any pictures of me, I'd love to see them! I'm still, and will forever be, in shock that this happened. 🖤🌻💛 ll-//
OH. MY. GOD.
If you have EVER fantasized about what you'd tell trump to his face if you had the chance, Rep. Joyce Beatty just DID that.
He thought he was going to call her names. And he found out.
So good. 🔥 🔥 🔥
My mom retired at 61. I won't.
She had a pension. I've got a Roth IRA I max out maybe every other year.
She bought her first house at 26. I'm 31 and still renting.
She paid $75 a month for health insurance. I pay $410.
Tonight she told me I just need to budget better. I nodded.
Didn't say her whole career happened in an economy that's gone now.
Didn't say I'm paying into Social Security I'll probably never fully see.
Didn't say she got off the ladder right before they sawed it in half.
Just passed the bread.
Usually just you being subconsciously afraid that other people are gonna judge you and criticize you as harshly as you talk to your inner self. Change your inner voice and you can quiet the imposter syndrome down usually. It’s soooo hard but a worthwhile practice I think.
They took memory cards from us and made us pay for storage. They took CDs and DVDs and made us pay for streaming. They took software you could buy once and turned it into a monthly subscription. They took ownership, convenience, and basically everything that used to be a one-time purchase… then somehow made us pay for it every month.
I'm 29 and I moved back in with my mom this week because I ran out of every other option.
I don't have a job. I don't have savings. My checking account has $53.78 in it right now, I checked it three times today like the number was going to change.
I did everything I was supposed to do degree, resumes, interviews, the whole script and it still ended with me sleeping in my childhood bedroom at 29 with less money that I had in high school.
I'm not writing this for sympathy. I'm writing it because I know I'm not the only one sitting with a number like that on their screen tonight, feeling like they failed some test nobody told them they were taking.
You didn't fail. The system did.
NEW: New Yorkers have started a trend of tagging Mayor Zohran Mamdani to report problems around the city and the fixes are happening so quickly that the videos are going viral.
A dangerous playground hazard was repaired after a resident wrote a letter. A pothole was filled the same day it was posted online. And ahead of this week’s heat wave, the city installed temporary water fountains in Prospect Park.
The message from City Hall: no problem is too small to fix.
18 months. $5 trillion fucking dollars in 18 months. And we still don't have healthcare. And they gutted education. And food assistance. And food safety, and clean air, and clean water. And cut 300k federal jobs. Where the actual fuck is that new spending actually going?
The grief Millennials carry every day is actually underestimated. It’s hard to mourn the life you were promised. So many worked hard and did everything “right,” YET still can’t afford a home, raise children comfortably, build retirement savings, or even healthcare.
