@robert995581@mr_dsantos Personally, it's firing all of the librarians claiming schools don't need their libraries that did it for me. Texas used to lead in school library programs (Laura Bush anyone?) but I guess we don't mind being in the bottom for literacy for a whole generation.
@Chambertunes @mr_dsantos @SemaAmore Absolutely, but the state is holding funds we could use w/o Harris County voters to approve their own methods of funding. This bond creates schools not suitable for a diverse and thriving student futures - research "NES" schools, the ones they really want to build.
@LauraJaneGrace @cassalamod Personally surprised you wouldn't see this as an opportunity to join with fellow laborers who are struggling vs supporting oppressive tactics. Many of the laborers are also musicians and artists like you.
A huge thank you to @MilamandGreene Whiskey for this amazing care package!
Their very small batch bourbon and straight rye whiskey are complex, expansive, and genuinely delicious.
Also, a bonus CD from Texas band @misterdataband replete with a track called “‘Measure of a Man”!

@LouGirl502@YandellWood Yes alas, the Georgia peach crops were ravaged this year by heat 😔, I've been lucky enough to find fredericksburg texas peaches where I live that aren't too expensive.
@d_tao Big fan of Houston's Poison Girl Bar for wide variety but don't sleep on its sister bar @LittleDipperBar (you can fit in @HoustonWatchCo in the same happy hour 🥃).
Just heard @houstonlibrary leaders read my column, & they will be updating signage near the copiers/printers to tell users they can print for free whether they have cards or not.
Was also told librarygoers can now ask to print for free if they would be burdened by the $10 hold.
@houstonpolice Sounds like he was trying to keep an entitled driver from running over other cyclists. Not sure this is the posterboy criminal you really want to advertise @houstonpolice.

Ngl y'all threads and potentially other platforms in the works seem like a fine reason to leave the chirpshack on mute for awhile.
See ya elsewheres? I'm @beawhiskeynerd anywhere I need to be found 😎
So we'll definitely get that PPP loan money back right? I believe it's a little over 500,000? I just have 12,000 on my tab still, but yeah I get it I just wanted the opportunity to be a librarian, you spent that money to do even more good for the American Public 🙄
You cannot “cancel” student loans any more than you can cancel a car payment or credit card debt. That money has to come from somewhere.
Proponents of this literally wanted student loan debt transferred to other people. It’s obnoxious.
