And I get why people think it happened. There was a cultural pressure to preserve egos that meant families didn't really talk about the pin money. Little House on the Prairie has an excellent scene with Mrs Oleson and Nellie about the importance of women having their own even in the 1800s.
This didn't happen. The perception that it did is largely based on fictional shows that were about rich people. Much more common was a household where one person (theoretically Dad in a het household) was the higher earner and paid the housing costs and the other paid utilities & food
Weekly large water main breaks aren’t normal? 😣
An Uptown resident shares her first-hand account of waking up to water in her home before sunrise due to another water main break in her neighborhood with Fox 8.
Ursuline is the first Uptown school in the area of the water main break to announce a closure. bit.ly/4s5d6gg

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.
The Smoothie King logo; I suppose it's like a simplified blobby crown shape that's sort of melting and it's got three irregular rounded points at the top and each point has a floating blob above it, so it's almost like three people standing shoulder to shoulder.
Screenshot from an old black and white film of MacBeth showing the weird sisters; three women standing there wearing black cloaks in front of spooky branches and a spooky sky.
I have no idea why my brain does this but every time I see the Smoothie King logo the crown makes me think of the weird sisters from Macbeth 🧙♀️🧙♀️🧙♀️
I’m complaining about the petty stuff since otherwise I’d think about how the world is ending.
If I'm ever murdered, don't invite the asshole who killed me to my funeral. I will haunt the fuck out of you if you do.
I love this time of year because you get to spend all day miserable because of your allergies and then you do your neti pot and a compress for your eyes and for approximately five minutes you feel amazing before being immediately partyblasted by pollen because you forgot to close the window.

Gravestone of Mary Wollstonecraft: isn't there someone you forgot to ask?
He didn’t kill anyone. Anyone know how many people the government has killed for being present when someone else killed somebody? And the demographics?

Please take a moment, please, to call Gov. Ivey at 334-242-7100 with the following message provided by Death Penalty Action
Sonny Burton is set to be executed by the state of Alabama on Thursday. There is a direct line between a government that murders its own citizens and the devaluing of life abroad. The sin has always started at home.
Mainstream America: We are obsessed with Heated Rivalry and Drag Race. We love them and can't get enough.
American Democrat politicians: LGBT people are not culturally normal. We will not speak of them.
liberal arts professors are horny, you know what so is everyone else, this ain't interesting
It's not over.
Please keep helping your neighbors.

Heart-rending. A crime against humanity. The people of Iran have done nothing to deserve this terror and destruction.
I don’t think people who haven’t met Lauren understand, this is one of the kindest people in Oxford, the University was *lucky* to employ her
and we aren’t friends really, I’ve just seen and heard of her being generous and genuine for twenty years straight
I knew I felt a little off
A spokesperson for MSY urged travelers to get to the airport at least three hours early in coming days, saying it could take up to two hours to get through security.
Trailer for season 2 Deadloch features this great cast, a Hemsworth, a shirt with a hammerhead shark on it, multiple crocs, angry tour guides; they have ticked every single box, no notes 🐊🙌🏻 March 20 cannot come soon enough youtu.be/bEu3XAz0otY?...
I appreciate the thought! I don’t think so but I’ll keep it in mind
Every day for the past two weeks I assign myself the task of getting my taxes sorted and every day I fail and increasingly when I try to psych myself up to just pull myself together and do it I feel like I’m on the verge of a young Martin Sheen naked in a hotel room level meltdown
On March 8, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Six male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear UNCLASSIFIED
We’re still murdering people in “drug boats” even as we start a new war in Iran. Six people today.
