ICYMI: residents of Japan have taken to the streets in protest because only 1% of them have been vaccinated, and they are the hosts of the upcoming Olympics.

I recently got a great glitch fare to Tokyo, but between their ban on international travel (unless you are an Olympian or trainer, I kid you not) and their lack of vaccine access, I cancelled my trip. The pandemic is FAR from over.

I just stood over my kitchen sink and did unspeakable things to a whole pound of peel and eat jumbo shrimp, and I regret nothing.

Didn’t sit down, once. It wasn’t until I threw away the packaging (after five minutes of intense scrubbing with a nail brush) that I realized they included a bib and plastic gloves in the bag. 🙃

The "Unhealthy, EBT-wielding Welfare Queen" trope must die. A thread.

I've been a state-certified social worker since October 2001, and I have personally helped 1,000s of clients obtain SNAP, TANF, and WIC to assist their attempts to fight and climb their way out of poverty. Spoiler alert: the system is designed to fail each and every one of them.

Before anything else, let's review key terms. "Welfare" is a blanket term used for government assistance that has been weaponized primarily against single Black mothers when in fact, it is a sprawling network of billions in federal aid used by your favorite for-profit companies.
