Did you know the max SSI payment for 2023 is $914/month ($3,612 below the current poverty line?) SSI is a program that’s supposed to help disabled ppl & seniors (who pass the rigorous rqmnts) survive. Most are denied on the 1st try, while appeals can take years. Not everyone survives the wait.

Also, why aren’t companies mandated to disclose chemicals like propylene glycol in their food & drink products? (Rhetorical)

Heidi Hafeken @HeidiHafekenYou know what else isn't regulated or tested (beyond the companies that make the ingredients and the manufacturer of the finished product)? Scents. There's no federal agency to guarantee their safety. Feels like it should be an FDA thing, but it isn't.08:51 PM - May 15, 2024

In the US, what used to be “welfare” is called actually TANF, & in order to receive it you have to work full time at a job or finding employment. Most other programs folks lump into “welfare” have workfare requirements. The majority of folks on Medicaid & SNAP work as well.

Salma Typhii @EpidatageekMost of the people on welfare are unemployed04:15 PM - May 15, 2024Accuracy Alert!
The claim that 'Most of the people on welfare are unemployed' is not fully supported by the available data. Evidence shows that while there has been an increase in weekly jobless claims and unemployment benefits applications reaching the highest level in months (Reuters, CNN, AP News), the unemployment rate remains relatively low at 3.9% (CNN). Moreover, the number of long-term unemployed individuals constitutes only 19.6% of the total unemployed (BLS). This suggests that although there is a notable portion of people receiving unemployment benefits, many people on welfare might also include the underemployed, those temporarily out of work, and individuals with low-income jobs. Therefore, it is inaccurate to conclude that most people on welfare are unemployed without considering the broader context of welfare recipients' employment status.

Mark Kubert, DC @MarkKubertI grew up in this one town, and I was invited by a friend to visit this other town, and I said “No thank you, I’m only interested in my town.” Because towns are like pie, and there’s only so much to go around.10:42 PM - May 14, 2024

Two things I don’t do during thunderstorms: shower, play video games.
The shower thing my granny drilled into me growing up.
The latter is because I don’t like risking playing when there’s a higher chance for power outages which could harm my console.

What is consent for sexual activities? It's pretty simple. Consent is permission, mutual permission to do any sexual activities. When I talk about that, I don't mean just the main act of intercourse, I'm talking about sexting, sharing nudes, and even masturbation and oral sex. That's the thing.

Friends, I'm in a bit of a situation, and I'm doing a fundraiser. I just found out I won't be paid for the days I couldn't work due to food poisoning and ridding my apartment of junk cost me almost $700. I'm trying to raise $1500 to cover junk costs and my bills.10:06 PM - Apr 30, 2024

I dropped my pillbox 1 too many times & the cover on 1 slot broke. All the ones available here would potentially break the same way, so I ordered 1 from Amazon. Rather than being 1 box, it has 7 individual daily boxes with am/noon/noc slots, all housed in a fabric travel case.

My Flying Car 2020 @Flying2020I think Not All-ing is done when folks feel implicated by association with people they somehow identify with. I belong to certain groups for which I've Not All'd in my head- for ex., Americans. But I don't Not All "out loud" bc the moment is about those whose injury needs to be understood, not me.05:15 PM - Apr 29, 2024

If your intent is to express empathy with those being wronged, the good news is you can absolutely still do that without Not All-ing, and it's not hard. Choices include things like: "You're right / I agree / I'm so sorry that happens to you." None of these centers you. Each affirms the victims' POV.

This year is the 50th anniversary where women were legally allowed to have credit cards in their name. I had just begun my senior year in high school. First they take away your reproductive rights. Next it will be our financial rights. Let that sink in when you go to vote.
