I am a special education teacher and my husband works in law enforcement. We both know not to text job details to each other because we would be fired if we did do that.

My anger is targeted at Trump and Musk. Not the people working at the SSA.

My daughter receives Social Security funds as a disabled person. I saw this envelope this morning and instantly became anxious. Good news… she will continue to receive Social Security. Bad news… those mother fuckers made an error and we will have to find that $89 being withheld from her May check.

This is a photo from the Smithsonian
Museum of African American history. This is a great museum the presents the painful past and joyful accomplishments. It is well curated and has an interesting narrative. The Museum of American History…meh! It’s okay. But, not the best.

I cannot imagine trying to have an intelligent conversation with MJT. She would benefit from watching some PBS.

My mother and my disabled daughter both get monthly social security checks. My mother is bi-polar. If they stop sending her checks, she will probably have psychotic break from the stress. Just send the checks!!!!!!!?

Fuck that guy. My mom is bi-polar and has dementia. If they stop sending her social security checks she will probably have a psychotic break, which is very traumatic for me to deal with as her only child. Send my mom her fucking checks you dickless piece of shit.

It is terrible that a bunch of losers who never served in the military or fought in wars are making these decisions.

Yeah, let’s bring that bird flu right into my yard. Maybe I will keep cultured small pox as a pet too.

I am hanging out in the library at my old high school doing case management. It feels good to be in a favorite space from my teenage years.

I grew up with children whose mothers caught Rubella during pregnancy. The kids had significant disabilities. The incidence of intellectual disability has dropped significantly due to vaccines and improvement in medicine. It would be best if the trend of reducing pregnancy complications continued.

I am a public school teacher and I am glad I am up to date on my vaccines. Measles would be a bummer in my 50’s.
