😂 this fit is 🔥🔥🔥 tho

I stopped calling Octavia butlers work prophetic once I realized she herself literally said that her work was influenced by deeply studying history which gave have her insight into the future. I realized I was watering down how truly brilliant she was and what she was trying to get across

This is fucking amazing

The way this soundtrack had me in a chokehold all summer!

What's fascinating about the impending government shutdown is that it doesn't result in an election. In Canada if the government can't pass a budget it's a vote of non-confidence and an election is called to replace the failed governing party - which is the democratic thing to do

How Anyone with a Phone Can Ruin a Politician's Week You don't need money to influence politicians when you can cost them money.

The victory isn’t in getting the donor to stop contributing. The victory is saying “We see you.”

You think you don’t matter because you’re not rich? That’s exactly why this works. Political donors expect calls from lobbyists, not from nurses and teachers in their own community.

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.

They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

It is 12:13am and I can hear the ice cream truck outside. What is going awwwnnnn

AN ICON.

I think giving Stephen Miller the full "weird" treatment, openly and constantly laughing at how pathetic he is, would reduce his influence at his job

Which I think would be the goal of people who prioritize reducing suffering (over raising money by campaigning against elevated levels of brutality)

I feel like his hairstyle (persistently bad & unchanged all these years!) told me everything I needed to know when I first learned of his existence and now here we are. Unsurprising behavior but disappointing nonetheless.

Find like one other person that’s really running towards community and activism in your city, then follow them n attend every event they’re at for like half a year

That I made them feel loved and understood

Speaking to my kids in Spanish more often, dancing & getting silly w them

Prioritized education, instilled a love of learning, and did not let poverty limit our aspirations, cultural experiences/exposure

Well, I didn’t even mention the lack of sleep 😂 parenting is hard.

For some people, parenting is the first time they’ve experienced failure. It is a humbling experience but it can make you more compassionate towards others, & fearless in other areas of your life. Parenting is repeatedly trying & failing until you get it right

You have to parent 24/7, lack of freedom in how you spend your time, and knowing you can’t protect your child from bad things happening forever/letting them learn from their experiences

Lol how could you overstep when I’m he one jumping into your comments 🤣

I think billing after every appointment and sending monthly statements and superbills would likely be preferred by most patients!

I suppose therapists should prob ask pt preference. We just wanna get paid.

The love, the cuddles, their excitement, growth, learning about their interests, snuggles & hugs & kisses

Financial literacy. How to ask for help. How to know when I need help.

Aghh okay this is good to know (as a therapist who batches billing).

🤦🏻‍♀️

Spent the weekend in SC for a friend’s baby shower & it was such a beautiful & emotionally restorative experience.

Also I am the vain friend who takes great pics at the function & arrives prepared to do full make-up, lashes, & last minute maternity photo shoot.

The way they backed up too 😂

I was doing fine until the hip thrusts.

Ohhh that sounds delicious, I understand why your mom was mad 😂

Highly suspect that much of vaccine hesitancy in adults is related to a fear of/aversion to needles and I feel like we can test this by having intranasal formulations marketed to/available for adults.

I need more information. This is like you leveled up & gained superpowers in kitchen nintendo. Well done!
