@RaidRushTD: I haven't been able to log on for 2 days, not thru the app or Game Center. I don't want to lose my streak (over 500 days!). I've reinstalled, deactivated VPN...ideas? Thx!

[Marie @mariestroughter]

@TeamYouTube It was a church account. It posted Bible verses. We didn't livestream, didn't use bots, nothing. The appeal was denied almost immediately. I'd just like to know why?

[Marie @mariestroughter]

@YouTube @YouTubeCreators: I assist with two small faith-based channels. I don't auto-post. Largely Bible verses. Yet both were removed for vague violations. One is a church account! We appealed and lost. Please FIX your process...

@TeamYouTube: In the pre-dawn hours of the #NationalDayOfPrayer, at 2:20am CA time, two small faith-based accounts were removed from the platform. One was this account, one was the *church* account for the congregation I attend [more]

[Marie @mariestroughter]

@JaySekulow On this National Day of Prayer, @YouTube removed two small faith-based channels I assist with, one of which is the account for the church I attend.

[Marie @mariestroughter]

@EdConwaySky @YouTube Only the two FAITH-BASED accounts I run got removed. None of the others.

[Marie @mariestroughter]

Anyone else with a faith-based #YouTube channel wake up to a notice your channel was removed? I mod several channels and only the two Christian content channels were removed. I've appealed.

@ginthegin @SecRollins Exactly! Ours hasn't collapsed, but it's "local streets only"

One more reason to vote for me to serve in Congress:

I know the difference between 2 and 11 when it comes to Roman numerals.

Apparently, that’s a major upgrade from some of our current Congress members.

@PeopleWIssues No problem, lil bother . . . uh, *brother!

Teaching my daughter about payroll withholding

She did chores all week so I owe her $10

I hand her $7

> this isn't $10

"right, I withheld the rest"

> what does that mean

"I kept $3 of your money"

> but it's my money

"It was your money"

> what are you even doing with it?

"Funding household infrastructure"

> what

"The roof over your head. The hallway you walk through to get to the bathroom. The door locks that keep strangers out"

> you're charging me for the hallway

"I'm charging you for access to the hallway. The hallway itself was a capital expenditure"

> you're my dad. you're supposed to---

"I'm also your government"

> what if I don't want to pay for the hallway

"Then I can't guarantee the hallway"

> it's a hallway. It's already there

"For now"

She asks what else the $3 covers

"Meals, dispute resolution, nightlight maintenance"

> dispute resolution?

"When your brother takes your toys and I make him give them back. That's taxpayer funded"

> that's just parenting

"That's the Department of Justice"

> what about meals. You already feed me

"That's a social program. Not everyone qualifies"

> I'm your daughter

"Which is why you're currently enrolled"

She wants to see where the money goes

I tell her that would require a FOIA request

> what's that

"A form asking me to show you what I do with your money. Processing time is 6 to 8 weeks"

> 6 weeks to see where my $3 went?

"Could be longer. We're understaffed"

> there's two of you

She asks how she gets any of it back

"It's already spent"

> you spent my money already?

"We had a budget shortfall"

> you just took it 20 seconds ago

"And the deficit existed 30 seconds ago. The timing worked out"

> so I'm not getting it back

"I didn't say that. You might qualify for a refund"

> of my own money

"Correct. You just have to fill out a form telling me how much you made"

> you know how much I made. You paid me

"Right but I need you to tell me how much I paid you"

> so you already know the answer

"The point is compliance"

She asks what happens if she gets the number wrong

"Penalty"

> from the money I don't have because you already spent it?

"We could set up a payment plan"

> I'm 8

"Monthly installments. Very manageable"

> you're going to penalize me for getting wrong a number you already know and then make me pay you back with money you took from me

"Now you're getting it"

> I want to talk to mom

"Mom's not a qualified representative. She can't help you here"

She stormed off to her room saying how this is extortion

Slammed the door

That's my little citizen

I've never been more proud

Have you ever felt the need to justify your “no?” A “no” not because you’re lazy or disorganized—but because your emotional bandwidth is already stretched too thin?
