Fresh results from yet another successful basic income pilot. This time in Baltimore where 200 young parents received $1k/mo.

I’m really enjoying this!! Look at that bold face full of mischief ….gas! But the ‘nun filter’ 🤣 Original seventeen century “insta” filters.

First of all, has a person ever looked more mischievous? I wish I knew her. Secondly, this is a miniature portrait from around 1660. It comes with overlays that allow you to change her appearance for fun. Filters from 500 years ago lol!
