So this fiber festival is happening down the block from me. I thought it was a food fiber festival at first. 😆

About to head to a lindyhop dance class while the fascist regime takes over. So I guess you could say I’m living the plot of Swing Kids.

Volunteer with your neighborhood organization AND listen to All Too Well. The more we engage in our communities the less hopeless we can feel.

“Do you work for the city of Minneapolis?”
“No, I’m just a mega bitch about pedestrian policy.”

Caring is free, y’all. No one pays me to care about walkability. Numbers don’t lie; walkable neighborhoods make more money long term.

Just out here perfecting my dosa making abilities. These are seriously the perfect #glutenfree snack/meal.

I need to make peanut chutney to go along with these.

Framing them is one option. I love seeing framed quilt panels. 😍
I promise your great grams wanted them used and seen.

I’ve been upcycling a giant hexi panel a clients great aunts started 50 years ago. Much of it was too frayed to patch so turning it into blocks with boarders made more sense.

Our findings show that cash assistance stabilizes households’ economic lives (food security, 
financial security, and housing stability) and improves direct reports of well-being (subjective or
psychological) with no evidence of a reduction in labor supply. This pattern of findings matches 
several other randomized GBI evaluations. Comparing across these studies suggests that the 
benefits of basic income in terms of stability and well-being are slightly larger for populations with 
lower baseline income and worse outcomes, and that these groups also tend to have null or slightly 
positive (but not statistically significant) labor supply effects. Our population is on the more 
disadvantaged end of this spectrum.

Our population is on the more disadvantaged end of this spectrum.

Table 4 presents results for three measures of economic security: food security (panel A), housing 
stability (panel B), and financial security (panel C). We find immediate, large, and robust positive effects of basic income payments on food security. At baseline only about one-third of respondents in both groups are recorded as food secure, but after 6 months of GBI payments and in every wave thereafter, about half of the treatment group reports being food secure. The estimated average treatment effect parameter is between 15 and 20 percentage points across all specifications in all periods, and every estimate except one is statistically significantly different from zero after 
adjusting for multiple hypothesis testing.

One clear behavioral prediction from economic models is that an increase in unearned income 
should reduce labor supply. This is a direct consequence of valuing leisure time. Static and 
dynamic models differ on the magnitude of their prediction for short-run labor supply behavior 
but not in their sign. We do not find evidence that GBI payments caused recipients to reduce their 
labor supply. In fact, panel D of Figure 3 and Table 5 show that our labor supply index—which 
combines extensive and intensive margin measures—is higher among treated respondents than 
control respondents. These results are not generally distinguishable from zero and our specifications that use baseline employment information (models 2 and 3) find smaller results than 
unadjusted comparisons or ones adjusted only for demographic information.

There are no active chapters of the KKK in Alaska. Her family is so well known in their community he would have been cast out ages ago. Additionally, song lyrics are not always about the singers life.

if you feel paralyzed and don’t know how to help your community; look into getting involved in your neighborhood organization. These groups exist to support everyone who lives in your neighborhood. It’s not an HOA.

All you had to do was some simple googling to learn this is a completely made up quote from some asshole on Twitter.
