Kaitlin Is Just Getting Started

I keep getting better at adding alt-text and making it part of the rhythm of my online conversations by having this button on. Writing alt-text as my default means that I never forget it and it becomes my normal. Make alt-text your normal!

This isn’t really a gotcha when Donald Trump entered the political mainstream via birtherism, as in, claiming that Barack Obama wasn’t born in the United States because he was Black. (Yes, he had a white American mother and grandparents, but racism don’t GAF)

Having to clarify my previous post because no one can be a decent human being and run for office I guess

If Kentucky Democrats can have the right answer on the civil and human rights of trans people, then so can every other state’s Democrats.

Ok, I am at about 20% of the amount I need, and I’m going to keep trying to backfill my deficit to avoid extreme stress while I’m trying to recover from chronic illness. Let’s see how it goes.

I’ve received about 15% of the total I need. Admittedly, I pulled money from a place I couldn’t afford it and am asking to backfill, since like…time is of the essence. But it’s really important that I get this money back or my life will be extra stressed and that will set my recovery back more.

Yes, but it will be at the point where they have lost hope of salvaging the situation. Trump is the only reason any of them have been elected; they’ll let go when he no longer provides that benefit. The problem is that pain threshold is insanely high.

When the wages are definitely enough and the economy is doing great

The best part about being denied the opportunity to build generational wealth is how your descendants get to fundraise from strangers to afford your funeral! Just a fun little side effect of institutionalized racism.

Michelle Pfeiffer had to be sewn into the Catwoman suit because a zipper broke, and she really whipped the heads off of the mannequins in the shop on a single take. They kept it in.

Yet another reason atop the mountain of reasons we should have a 27 member court with randomly assigned panels of 9 justices to hear cases And this one comes with bipartisan logic!

1 day! I was a front desk secretary at a construction/contracting firm. My predecessor had checked me in for my interview while wearing a henley button down shirt and jeans. My coworkers greeted me in hoodies. I was fired for wearing a fashion white tee with teal slacks and a navy blazer. 🥴🫩

27,000 New Yorkers lost their SNAP benefits due to cruel cuts from the federal government. If you’re one of them, NYC is here to help. As of October 1st, you can re-enroll for SNAP benefits. But there are new rules. Call 718-SNAP-NOW or visit nyc.gov/ACCESSHRA for help re-enrolling.

At the end of the month, this is me, and I’m terrified

Follow up to this argument: This same court basically obliterated the Chevron rule, which means that the number of cases coming to the court is going to explode even more than it already has. A better question is: How can the court remain so small and still function?

It’s weird that the mishandling of a violent assault committed by students isn’t worthy of a full public campaign like some minor citations in his phd thesis. I thought that’s what we need to remove Ivy League presidents for, at least since Claudine Gay?

Well now it’s even easier to root for the White Sox out of the AL

Farewell to Eva Marie Saint. ❤️

This is an exceptionally small list of shows, but what other runs have been good enough from start to finish to make the whole series worth watching?

On top of having to watch the Yankees game, I was also spammed with the Sydney Sweeney ad that upset so many women athletes and…you know what? They should be mad. I’ll allow it.

Today I have a head cold on top of my Long COVID on top of my monthly uterus betrayal and I am feeling very bad Please share something delightful about your life right now (especially if it has fur)

I'd like to see this funded. Please send some money if you can.

One reason why I *have* to move is that the roommate that lives below me plays his ukulele almost every day, loudly, and sings along, loudly I've been living here a year and a half and he has not gotten any better during this time It's not the main reason I'm moving but it's definitely one of them

There’s only one thing that can unite America and that’s executing the executive who gave the green light to the liberty biberty ads on live TV
