The best way to reduce the cost of Medicaid is to name and shame big employers that pay their full time employees so little, they qualify for Medicaid

World War 3 kinda sucks, but you know, it was either this or pronouns

"Insanity is doing the same war over and over again and expecting different results."

Nothing is left to the imagination anymore

Two phrases that need to be retired:
“We are better than this.” (We’re not.)
The U.S. president is “the leader of the free world.” (He’s not.)

“All religion is bad” is like saying all poetry, all experiences of awe are bad.

Whenever empire conscripts religion, or art, storytelling, science, medicine for its own purposes bad shit happens.

Nothing in this store on Tybee Island was made in America.
Perhaps they mean Chinese made gifts for Americans.

I give lectures on the dangers of smoking, vaping and nicotine use. I visit my hometown and find out we have the flagship Zyn manufacturing facility. Ugh!

I was crying because Mom was crying 😭

The article brings up the fact that firing the newly hired limits the fresh knowledge and education of an organization and takes away individuals who would be the future of the organization.
This is happening across the board. 😡

After a certain age, you are no longer the product of your environment or how you were raised. It becomes a personal choice to live the way you do!

Women, are we paying attention yet?

Cute Valentine with two manatees saying If I could kiss you underwater, I would. But I'd probably just bump into you awkwardly instead.

Cute Valentine with a woodpecker that says Are you a longleaf pine? Because I'd cling to you forever.

Cute Valentine with a gopher tortoise that says you must be a keystone species because without you my whole world collapses.

A cute Valentine with a opossum that says You're the only reason I haven't crawled into a storm drain and started a new life.

Found these on the US Fish and Wildlife Service page. Funny!

I hope the halftime show is people storming a government building with the intent to kill people so the adults at my church aren't offended.

Pretty much sums it up

At first, I read this as "my mycologist", and I thought, "Yes, everyone needs a personal mycologist!"

We’re officially in full airport mode all the time now: everything is crazy expensive, sweatpants are acceptable at all times, nobody’s judging anyone for drinking more than they usually do, and we’re all just out here buying books and coffee to deal with the stress

Word of the Day is ‘bayard’ (16th century): one who has the supreme self-confidence of ignorance.

This is painful

Doing away with USAID is the most unchristian thing for this supposedly Christian nation to be doing.
