The fact that so much weight is still put on polls is ridiculous. I never answer my phone if I don’t recognize the number. I know for a fact that a majority of Gen X and younger tend to do the same. So who are they polling?

A few weeks ago I posted about wearing a crop top out in public for the first time. This weekend I realized that this is the first summer since I turned 16 that I’m wearing shorts in public without a second thought. I’m 60. 44 years of wearing pants on 90 degree days because I hated my legs.

I’m really hoping people here in Maine will start paying attention to this crap and start taking the problem seriously.

Dear White People:
The phrase "rest in power" was created for marginalized folks who were involved in social activism or died due to oppression. Using the words infers the deceased cannot rest in peace until change has occurred. Please stop using it for deceased white people who held power in life.

Yes! Im tired of men being considered “distinguished’ when they gray but we are ‘showing our age’. I recently mentioned to a friend that I was getting gray highlights to blend my natural grays more evenly and they looked at me in shock.

As despicable as Musk & Trump are, they are a product of a society that has failed to hold rich, yt men accountable for their actions. They can’t imagine a world where they don’t always get exactly what they want regardless of the impact 2 anyone else.

Since 2016, there have been reported cases of over 5,700 missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls...and counting. Much like Black women & children , their stories are largely ignored by white media. Missing white woman syndrome rules the day. #MMIWG2S #NativeSpoutible #RacismIsKillingUs

Just watched a video explaining that the reason the U.S. hasn't implemented universal healthcare is racism. While I wasn't aware of this, I also wasn't surprised. YT folk buy into us vs them rhetoric, they fear POC threaten them when the truth is racism harms them too.

Exactly! At almost 60, I live with my daughter so they can keep their house even though she and my son in law work 2 jobs, I have gone into debt to help my son and his girlfriend pay rent even though they both work 2 jobs. We just aren’t feeling that economic growth.

Kimberlee (Kimbrûlée) @FiregoddessThis may seem obvious to some but I think it bears restating: Two things can be true at the same time. We can recognize the U.S. economy is doing better than it has in years and still understand that the poor remain poor and more needs to be done.06:34 PM - Jul 28, 2023

When people challenge you, listen. Understand that our lives are still in peril every day just because we exist. I urge our Spoutible family not to fall into the 'whataboutism' trap. Learn from our experiences. Read. Ask questions. We will tell you our truth.

I wore a crop top today. I hadn’t intended to wear it outside of the house, after all I’m an overweight woman who turns 60 in 13 days. Then my 11 year old granddaughter came running up to me telling me how proud she was of my body confidence and how good I looked. Yeah, I wore it out in public…

The justices ruled in a 6-3 decision favoring states that objected to the policy. The action dealt a blow to the 26 million U.S. borrowers who applied for relief after Joe Biden announced the plan in August 2022 and marks a political setback for the president.
