anyone else ever post smtn and then think 'oh my god my followers are going to HATE that they're all going to leave me IMMEDIATELY' and then you go stress-check your followers only to find literally nothing has changed, or are you Not chronically online?

I'm supposed to be grading now but like girl how am I gonna focus on that when I apparently gotta worry about next year

[junkdyke]

i'm in such a weird position at the shop and i rllyyyy dont wanna think about or deal with it cause i'm also still stuck in the need to finish my film and worry about graduation. But my mentor is essentially going to be in the shop uh...occasionally perhaps?? And the rest of the time she will now be running the new shop that's opening in SF. And also, she did not directly talk to me about any of this, i only found out through the shop group chat.

am i going to move to SanFran actually??? Am i losing my mentor?? Am i just going to have to be proactive and fucking start building clientele everywhere through traveling even tho i still feel like i'm too early in my apprenticeship for that??(probably this one because i am insane and hate resting and what else am i really meant to do, just book as though i'm a resident artist already)

i just...everything is always a whole lot all the time at once, and i already have so much to do, my brain doesnt have time to think about anything else going on. but fuck it, we baaallll

[readingloveswounds]

[innocencel0st]

i've depressed myself looking at cars. i can't afford shit.

[baroldspaghet]

the actual worst part of following people i knew in high school on social media is reading posts like "why didn't they teach us XYZ in high school!?" because 90% of the time it's like... they did. they did teach us that. you just weren't paying attention.

[practically-an-x-man]

Y'know how people talk about the "ADHD tax" of buying pre-chopped veggies because then you'll actually use them?

I genuinely think investing in a tax service would be like that for me.

[alonelystargazer]

honestly schools really need to bring back home economics and woodshop and driving lessons and sex ed classes, etc., so the teens can be well rounded people and are at least a little prepared when it's their time to head into the "real world"

but those require more material and labor costs and probably permission from parents (like with sex ed, it's always gonna be controversial but it's still needed) so school administrators or whoever is in charge cut these programs or never have them in place at all

teens need to learn about more than just what's in their history textbook, they need art and music and food and fitness and knowledge about their bodies and how to take care of themselves bc our society believes that all 18 year olds are "adults" now and automatically know everything about the world that they will soon need to face on their own

Things Biden and the Democrats did, this week #16

April 26-May 3 2024

President Biden announced $3 billion to help replace lead pipes in the drinking water system. Millions of Americans get their drinking water through lead pipes, which are toxic, no level of lead exposure is safe. This problem disproportionately affects people of color and low income communities. This first investment of a planned $15 billion will replace 1.7 million lead pipe lines. The Biden Administration plans to replace all lead pipes in the country by the end of the decade.

President Biden canceled the student debt of 317,000 former students of a fraudulent for-profit college system. The Art Institutes was a for-profit system of dozens of schools offering degrees in video-game design and other arts. After years of legal troubles around misleading students and falsifying data the last AI schools closed abruptly without warning in September last year. This adds to the $29 billion in debt for 1.7 borrowers who wee mislead and defrauded by their schools which the Biden Administration has done, and a total debt relief for 4.6 million borrowers so far under Biden.

President Biden expanded two California national monuments protecting thousands of acres of land. The two national monuments are the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument and the Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument, which are being expanded by 120,000 acres. The new protections cover lands of cultural and religious importance to a number of California based native communities. This expansion was first proposed by then Senator Kamala Harris in 2018 as part of a wide ranging plan to expand and protect public land in California. This expansion is part of the Administration's goals to protect, conserve, and restore at least 30 percent of U.S. lands and waters by 2030.

The Department of Transportation announced new rules that will require car manufacturers to install automatic braking systems in new cars. Starting in 2029 all new cars will be required to have systems to detect pedestrians and automatically apply the breaks in an emergency. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration projects this new rule will save 360 lives every year and prevent at least 24,000 injuries annually.

The IRS announced plans to ramp up audits on the wealthiest Americans. The IRS plans on increasing its audit rate on taxpayers who make over $10 million a year. After decades of Republicans in Congress cutting IRS funding to protect wealthy tax cheats the Biden Administration passed $80 billion for tougher enforcement on the wealthy. The IRS has been able to collect just in one year $500 Million in undisputed but unpaid back taxes from wealthy households, and shows a rise of $31 billion from audits in the 2023 tax year. The IRS also announced its free direct file pilot program was a smashing success. The program allowed tax payers across 12 states to file directly for free with the IRS over the internet. The IRS announced that 140,000 tax payers were able to use it over their target of 100,000, they estimated it saved $5.6 million in tax prep fees, over 90% of users were happy with the webpage and reported it quicker and easier than companies like H&R Block. the IRS plans to bring direct file nationwide next year.

The Department of Interior announced plans for new off shore wind power. The two new sites, off the coast of Oregon and in the Gulf of Maine, would together generate 18 gigawatts of totally clean energy, enough to power 6 million homes.

The Biden Administration announced new rules to finally allow DACA recipients to be covered by Obamacare. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is an Obama era policy that allows people brought to the United States as children without legal status to remain and to legally work. However for years DACA recipients have not been able to get health coverage through the Obamacare Health Care Marketplace. This rule change will bring health coverage to at least 100,000 uninsured people.

The Department of Health and Human Services finalized rules that require LGBTQ+ and Intersex minors in the foster care system be placed in supportive and affirming homes.

The Senate confirmed Georgia Alexakis to a life time federal judgeship in Illinois. This brings the total number of federal judges appointed by President Biden to 194. For the first time in history the majority of a President's nominees to the federal bench have not been white men.
