Michael Hingson was on the 78th floor of the North Tower on September 11, 2001.

He has been blind since birth.

His guide dog, Roselle, was under his desk when the plane hit.

The building lurched.

Smoke filled the offices.

People shouted.

Roselle stood, calm, and waited for the harness.

They went into Stairwell B and started down. Seventy-eight floors.

Firefighters passed them going up.

Jet fuel burned in the air.

A woman stopped, too afraid to keep walking.

Hingson talked her forward.

Roselle never pulled away, never panicked, never stopped.

They reached the lobby and then the street.

Minutes later the South Tower fell and a wall of dust rolled over them.

Roselle kept leading.

Hingson lived.

Roselle lived.

They walked out of a building that would not be standing an hour later.

He has spent the years since telling the story not as a miracle of sight, but as a story of trust: a man who could not see the stairs, and a dog who did not need to be told that the only way out was down.

Remember Michael Hingson.

Remember Roselle.

Remember everyone who started down those stairs and never reached the street.

My Lord.

@JoeBiden, 83 years old, battling Stage 4 cancer that has spread to his bones, stood for HOURS alongside @DrBiden as the names of 9/11 victims were read.

Donald Trump fell asleep at the 9/11 event at the Pentagon.

One showed respect despite his pain. The other couldn't even stay awake.

Trump is an embarrassment to the nation and the office he holds.

Really says it all.

RFK Jr testified in his divorce proceedings that he was too brain damaged to work so therefore couldn’t pay alimony.

He is now the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Our food is poisoned and measles is on the rise.

Thanks for your attention to this matter.

STOP TELLING BROKE PEOPLE TO BUDGET.

THERE, I SAID IT.

YOU CAN'T BUDGET YOUR WAY OUT OF POVERTY.

AFTER BASIC NECESSITIES I HAVE $0 LEFT OVER, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BUDGET?

[Jeremy @jeremyct]

Boomer: I paid my way through college working part time at a diner.

Me: what was tuition when you went.

Boomer: around $600 a semester I think.

Me: mine is $9,400 a semester at a state school.

Boomer: state schools are supposed to be affordable.

Me: that’s what I’m telling you.

Boomer: well did you apply for scholarships.

Me: got $2,000 total across two scholarships.

Boomer: that’s something.

Me: it covered about 3 weeks of tuition.

Boomer: …

Boomer: I really didn’t know it had gotten like this.

Me: most people your age haven’t looked.

[Jacks Asylum @Jackiswilde99]

We used to be a proper country

[Owen @Owennfa]

BOOMER: "Nobody wants to work anymore."

YOU: "I work 50 hours a week."

BOOMER: "Doing what, on a computer?"

YOU: "Yes. It pays $58,000."

BOOMER: "I made $18,000 and owned a house."

YOU: "That's the whole point."

BOOMER: "We didn't complain, we just worked."

YOU: "You worked one job and got a pension. I work one job and get a 401k match if I'm lucky."

BOOMER: "Nobody handed me anything."

YOU: "College was $600 a year. Your first house was 2x your salary. Your employer covered your family's health insurance."

BOOMER: "That was normal back then."

YOU: "Exactly. It was normal. Now it's impossible."

BOOMER: "So what do you want, a handout?"

YOU: "I want what was normal."

BOOMER: *silent*

You didn't outwork us.

You just lived in the version of the country where working was enough.

And for the lady, perhaps a soft, low cortisol life & a calm nervous system.

Not to alarm anyone but is anyone else worried about how fucking stupid everyone is?

FUN FACT: Mitch McConnell has been on paid medical leave for 51 days now. That's over 7 weeks.

This is a week longer than the 6 weeks of maternity leave that women in the US are not guaranteed after giving birth.
