Crazy how Millennials were the only ones to learn how to use computers and we apparently are also the only ones who learned to see through disinformation on those same exact computers.

Literally everyone else younger & older than us is like a native population with a new disease

@KamalaHarris campaign: will the childless cat/dog lady merch come back in stock? I wanted to buy some but missed out. I’m guessing it’s because all the DINKS with some expendable funds showed up. 😂

A huge thanks to @LastWeekTonight for explaining in 20 minutes why I haven’t been home in 20 years.

“What [Stephen Nedoroscik] knew was that the Americans were about to bring home their first medal in 16 years.” Hey @WSJ I think you mean “American men…”

[Dr. Amber P. Hodge @acafamber]

@kferrDC @fuckyouiquit I agree. Just as someone who made the federal minimum for over a decade in three different states the lived experience can be devestating. So, with no desire to overstate, more so to avoid discounting the reality for roughly the population of Dallas.

[Dr. Amber P. Hodge @acafamber]

@kferrDC @fuckyouiquit Isn’t that over 1 million people? While not a large percentage, That’s still a lot of people.

[Dr. Amber P. Hodge @acafamber]

@kferrDC @fuckyouiquit 16 states have a minimum wage of $7.25. As someone who was making a minimum wage of $5.50 in 2005 with students presently making $7.25 I can attest that the federal bare minimum and no more is all too common. (these are all non-tip eligible jobs)

@DawnKeetley @ShoresHaunted a destroyed pacific island is also a center point of the people in the trees by hanya yanaghiara

[Dr. Amber P. Hodge @acafamber]

@DawnKeetley @ShoresHaunted you could read the descendants by kaui hart hemmings that way. at the end of the novel an indigenous family is dumping the white mothers ashes off the coast of waikiki. definitely cultural and historical erosion

@tomcolicchio @DineshDSouza I love it when someone who only has a BA talks about their superior credentials.

[Dr. Amber P. Hodge @acafamber]

@biancaquilan William and Mary (1693) is the oldest public university in the US, not UNC Chapel Hill (1789). Otherwise, article is off to a great start.

In honor of the playoffs starting @AndyBrickley meet Baby Brick!

[Lakota Man @LakotaMan1]

I’m starting to think that white kids ARE strong enough to learn Black and Native history. It’s their parents that are having issues with it. Agree? #BlackHistoryMonth

[Dr. Amber P. Hodge @acafamber]

Accurate.

[ADHD Jesse @adhdjesse]

ADHD is having every childhood authority figure tell you you’re gifted and have such potential, but you’re wasting it by being too lazy, spacey, selfish, or failing to “apply” yourself.

[Fuck You I Quit @fuckyouiquit]

That’s because men tend to go for higher paying jobs like doctor, lawyer, or software developer while women gravitate more toward lower paying jobs such as female doctor, female lawyer, or female software developer.

[Dr. Amber P. Hodge @acafamber]

@swoopskee @fuckyouiquit I think you mean consumerism? In which case the issue is not solely the consumer but the consumer-driven economic model of late stage capitalism.

@DawnKeetley @paulGtremblay @MNightShyamalan I started last night at midnight and am already on the second section! Sooooo good!

The #19thAmendment was actually ratified August 18, so this is just a reminder that there are people alive today who were born before women had the right to vote. #NationalWomensEqualityDay

I always support my home state at the #LLWS but I gotta say if this isn’t the poster image for Asian settler #colonialism IDK what is #Hawaii
