MAGAs think "money is the root of all evil"... except when they control it. I've never met a white conservative parent who doesn't try in some way to control the finances of their adult children. Some are downright domestic financial abusers.

@sardoniccomment A libertarian follows the insane ramblings of Ayn Rand and believes in no government and basically anarchy, like an extreme form of capitalism and self-governance. A naive, selfish douchecanoe, in essence

If you haven’t read Jaws by Peter Benchley, give it a go. It’s a great story about politics and how cold, hard cash rules everything (yo @WuTangClan). The movie is just a thriller based on the hunt of the killer shark. It doesn’t have all the biting commentary of the book. https://t.co/fS7ZTN3xv5

If you want to read about the poverty mindset, check out @m_sendhil's book Scarcity: Why Having Too Little Means So Much, with Eldar Shafir, 2013. You can also read my review, to which the author replied, on my blog. https://t.co/4BHq3FUghN

Nothing says "white woman" more than picking "Where the Crawdads Sing" as the next book club choice. My people seem to love it. "OOOOh we should read the book then go see the movie together! WHEEEE! omg it would be so fun!"

Omg I just happened upon this SyFy (fiction) show that is showing on HULU called SURREAL ESTATE. it’s fucking hilarious and I seriously can’t get enough of it. It’s xFiles meets House Hunters. I just binged the first 3 episodes. The writing is crispy and everything is beautiful.

@SamsaraSings It's so hard to break down the racist lessons we've learned growing up. It's OK to take a break from online discussions. Can I suggest some books? Like Ibram X. Kendi's How to Be an Antiracist and White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo. U can read those in private & msg me after.
