"How's it looking for Republicans?"
"Hashem is in charge."
"Wow, that bad?"
hesitant to ask- have they improved twizzlers for the better or is this the first time I've actually ever eaten fresh twizzlers? 🙈Either way- 🤤🤤🤤

A husband and wife with four kids will spend $3-4,000 and more per month on medical insurance now, and it buys nothing but the right to pay more when you actually use it. This is an outrage. More outrageous, there is hardly any political talk about this fixing this problem even though the fix is readily at hand. Unsustainable.
I mean, we're already there. We've been there for years. Signed, millennial who has watched all her friends & too many family members outsource their personalities & social interactions to Instagram. I don't even know how many of the 1/
We need to face the fact that there’s already a huge number of people, especially younger people, who talk to AI like it’s their friend and carry on near constant conversations with it. What happens when a critical mass of people spend most of their day bonding and communicating with an inhuman algorithm controlled by a trillion dollar tech company? Nobody knows. Most of the dystopian sci fi writers never even envisioned a scenario this bleak. And our leaders have apparently no interest in trying to prevent any of this from happening. Really grim stuff.
something that I think is going on beneath the superficial "look at me look at me!"
a really great way to not have to deal w/attention whores is to just not scroll thru social media. problem solved. except that's not the problem. I'm starting to think it's equally pathological to devote one's time to seeking them out & shaming them
marriages & ppl to want to marry & procreate - you're going to have to assess your framing of serious, sensitive issues beyond what's expedient for likes. End
ngl, after spending too much time on x today & reading the vitriol I am disturbed & disgusted. I'm also questioning myself & my own past behavior online. I know I've been spicy, insulting & lax w/speech. I feel like this is a wake up call not only 1/
maybe I should learn to regulate myself more than to outsource my internal sense of integration to ppl who are so aggressive. There's a difference btwn leadership & anger/condescension. I need to be more discerning. Lesson learned. 3/

My two cents on the postpartum talk as a
Mother and RN:
I have known incredible women that have suffered from both postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis. It’s terrible and no reflection of a women’s character.
Here’s the truth:
Being pregnant is hard.
Giving birth is hard.
Caring for a newborn is hard.
Motherhood is hard.
Mothers throughout human history have put themselves in the most vulnerable position possible when they bring a human life into the world.
Birth has long been one of the most dangerous events a woman can experience and still is in some parts of the world (Praise God for modern medicine and obstetric care that has made births safe).
The challenges of pregnancy and birth often leave women battered with physical, hormonal, and emotional challenges.
To the moms of newborns or young kids who are struggling—and reading some of the horrible things being said about young women on the internet right now—you aren’t crazy, selfish, or a failure for having a hard time.
You’re just in a hard season of life. You will get through it and things will get easier. But young kids are demanding and exhausting. You can love them will all of your heart and be honest about that.
And anyone struggling with postpartum depression there are many women (and men) who want to help you.
Call a friend, get off the internet, and get the help you need—no shame attached.
And know that all the hard days are worth it. The most valuable things in life are hard. There is deep joy in doing hard things—and I can think of no greater example of this than motherhood.

Slocum is an extremely abusive person. I used to love his shtick & I followed him happily. Watching how he has escalated maligning & mocking women has shaken me. I erred in my judgment about him. I have watched him go from bringing awareness to 1/
