I'm starting to hang where the sky is always cerulean. Please give me a follow! I will follow back (I'm trying to find all my friends from The Bad Place, but it's hard for my ADHD brain to do that kind of manual, boring task.)
Same handle. (I'm tamimforman almost everywhere.)

My fave line is “it often takes being helped for us to be most helpful.” My Five Themes for 2025 by Tami M. Forman @TamiMForman tamimforman.substack.com/p/m…
Happy New Year! We're 9 days in and it's already been a lot. As the curse goes, "May you live in interesting times." Indeed.
I have my plans for the year, but I wanted to put out something that is more about the attitude and energy I'm bringing to 2025.
Here they are:
1. Ask for help.
2. Put positivity into the universe.
3. Be generous.
4. Let go.
5. Build community.
What's on your mind this year? What energy are you bringing to 2025?
They also have a universal health system that charges premiums based on income.
What are we doing here?
Japan has about ⅒ the obesity rate of the United States: data.worldobesity.org/rankin…
That’s why Japanese people live a decade longer than Americans, on average.
Must read for data and economics nerds.
Possibly America's favorite peak millennial.

1. It doesn't exist, unless you are rich. This is not "being a trad wife." This is "being rich." This is like posting a photo of Marie Antoinette and asking why any woman would work when she could just be Marie Antoinette.
2. Being a SAHM is work. It is a full time job. It is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for like 18+ years.
3. This presumes that women "choose" to have jobs. Do men "choose" to have jobs? Why are they working 9-5s and not just being Henry VIII?
You cannot have the things you want from regulations (safe food, clean water, clean air, safe products) without some burdens on business. There are better and worse ways to regulate, of course, but the idea that you can have one without the other is unserious thinking.

Like at a base level "we are going to deregulate everything" and "we are going to get all the chemicals out of the food" are inherently contradictory.
This word has started popping up more and more and it’s very disturbing. As a kid who grew up in the 80s in Boston this word was hard to eliminate from my vocabulary but now it sits in the category of “slur I would never utter.” Not sure why that’s not a widely held view.

It’s not that they think they wouldn’t be confirmed, at least not in most cases. It’s that they want to plant a big flag early that there will be no transparency or oversight of Trump's wishes and power. Everything will be like this.

"Still, it wasn’t the Democratic party that nominated Trump three times. It wasn’t Democrats who shied away from the fight against Trump. It’s the Republican party that has deeply, catastrophically, perhaps decisively failed America this past decade."

work dinners should be illegal. rob you from your family, pretend to enjoy drinking with strangers, get home late and feel horrible the next day. work breakfasts are aristocratic, separate lazy boys from early to rise men, feel great when you get to work, easily expensible

The vast majority of Jews who strongly identify with Israel have spent the past year being demonized by the left, and many lost friends and allies and have suffered professional repercussions.
And yet we STILL showed up, en masse, to vote our liberal ideals.
That says a lot.

I’m listening to Republican strategist Sarah Longwell on NPR talking about public opinion of Trump’s tyrannical posture and she just said:
“When I ask voters in focus groups if they think Donald Trump is an authoritarian, the #1 response by far is, ‘what’s an authoritarian?’”
