@krispykatkween @Vicky_ACAB I think it’s probably medicare and medicaid programs. But yeah it should absolutely be expanded to everyone. I don’t know, I just googled the stat for corroboration but every source says between 15-25% to military budget, not 50% so I’m curious to find OP’s source to share!

@krispykatkween @Vicky_ACAB What, the image? I’m genuinely curious to find a legit source for OP’s stats because I want to repost it haha. I’m trying to find the correct calculation

@AnnaElizClark Godshot by Chelsea Bieker is a wonderful novel set in the Central Valley - it’s incredibly Californian and beautifully written. I also love Joan Didion’s writing on the Sacramento Valley (albeit more nonfiction)

@PassengersJ @1winsomewinham Perfect, thank you!

[Simone Backer @simone_backer]

@Catalinar34 @Twitter Love you.

crazy that cost-per-click is such an important advertising metric when literally any time someone clicks an ad it's a mistake

@ochkenny @J_Bloodworth The Renfe trains here in Spain are not running at all. Some commercial flights are, however.

@J_Bloodworth I'm an American living in Valencia. I know people who are still traveling back to the UK (or the US via UK airports), including this week and last. Lots of cancelled flights though.

@AGNIMagazine no problem! I tried again today and it worked just fine — my piece has been submitted. Thanks for checking in!

[Simone Backer @simone_backer]

@Catalinar34 Definitely the adult version of accidentally calling your elementary school teacher "mom" 😳

[Simone Backer @simone_backer]

@AGNIMagazine Hi there! Looks like your online submission portal is down. Should I submit via email instead? Thanks!

@Catalinar34 I like Gundlach Bundschu's pinot noir for special occasions! And this definitely counts as one in my book. https://t.co/JFKF33nXfB

@MattWeinkam The Buddha in the Attic by Julie Otsuka tells the collective story of "picture brides" brought from Japan to San Francisco in the early 20th century. To me her usage of "we" really enforced how voiceless the women were at the time.
