Wednesday micro-story challenge: in 300 characters or less, write a story (fiction or non; it could even be a poem) about...a day in the life.

All or nothing generally means you get nothing. But not just that – it also means that you allow irreparable harm to marginalized people because you were too stubborn to accept incremental progress.

Professor Kyle @blackcatproseI now pay $35/month total for my ACA insurance & interest free student loans. Yet I know many 20 & 30-yr-olds who won't get insurance on the ACA & won't apply for SAVE...yet hate Biden cuz he hasn't canceled all student loans or provided 100% free healthcare. So frustratingly selfish & uninformed.11:08 PM - Nov 29, 2023

Haley & DeSantis can fight for that sweet donor cash & to be recognized as the most palatable fascist...but TFG will be the nominee. R voters love him cuz they are him. And: "No one in the past 43 years has had a lead like Trump’s and not gone on to win the nomination." Gifted.

Professor Kyle @blackcatproseInteresting! Early on in Spoutible if you put a period next to a username or hashtag it would break the link. But now if you do it it keeps the link by moving the period over on its own.12:52 AM - Nov 30, 2023

Wise words indeed from @IsaLeeWolf . We need to recognize & challenge even the subtle signs of bigotry.

#WednesdayWisdom: Awkward conversations. – A Bit to Read
It's sunny and cold and it's possible I used all my wisdom already on Spoutible this morning, but maybe there are some bits still floating around. Yesterday there was an incredibly antisemitic poster, one who--though he thought he was being clever in how he phrased it--was calling for a ge..

The idea that his supporters would vote for Nikki Haley is laughable. He’s a misogynist racist.

Professor Kyle @blackcatproseBiden's canceled $127 billion of student loan debt for 3.5 million borrowers.¹ And that's not all–with his SAVE plan (apply if you haven't!) my current payment is $10/month...& check out my new interest rate:²

Every day much like the others. Life on the farm gets busy. Feed the poultry, cats and dogs. Half gallon of coffee keeps me warm. Give the crows treats to keep the hawks away. Watch out for coyotes, they’ll eat anything that wanders away. Make apple pie filling for people treats. Rest!

In 2021, #Jabiru was handed back to the #Mirarr people, on whose ancestral land the town & the mine were built.
But the closure & return of #Jabiru were smokescreens concealing #Kakadu’s dark history.
Should the current situation continue, it could become a tale of paradise lost.

In January 2021, the Ranger Uranium Mine, surrounded by Kakadu National Park, finally ceased operations after nearly half a century. To outsiders, Ranger had always seemed like an anomaly: the mine was a deep and unsightly scar in the heart of Australia’s largest terrestrial national park. Kakadu wa..
