I'm getting a lot of ads for snowpants considering our area only got like 2 inches of snow. 🙂

The man can still cut a promo much better than that Jabroni Hulk Hogan.

As more of my friends enter menopause or perimenopause, they too have hit pause on drinking.

Meanwhile with the Atlanta win, Carolina ekes its way into the playoffs as a division leader no less.

Hockey Night. Yes of course I'll be putting my loop earplugs in momentarily.

Disability rights advocate Bob Kafka dead at 79 Bob Kafka was an organizer with ADAPT (American Disabled for Attendant Programs Today), a group which advocates for policy change to support people with disabilities.

A profound loss for the disability community. May his memory be a blessing.

The day I discovered the Maintenance Phase podcast was a good one.

Yes, I noticed this as well. Wanted to tell my story that hey we didn't use it and my kiddo is doing great.

The whole thing made me uncomfortable. Also, Santa isnt very nice to Rudolph in the beginning amd went along with the crowd. Unnerving. My son quickly pointed out the misogyny tho, so proud of him

My fellow public school funding warriors. Take a break. Breathe. I don't know about you, but I'm tired. I'm resetting this holiday season. Join me. Drop each other some encouraging messages too.

🚨5 Important reminders about Leandro🚨

1) It is unambiguous that students’ rights continue to be violated

Nobody in the NCGA has presented the case that they're upholding students’ constitutional rights. Their argument has simply been: courts can't make us do stuff against our will.

(1/5)

The NC Supreme Court’s inexplicable, historic silence on Leandro | Opinion Gene Nichol: To be honest, I’m not anxious to hear from Paul Newby’s court. They’re no friends to the low-income students of North Carolina. | Opinion

Did you know that the NC Constitution guarantees an equal public education to every student in the state? When lawmakers and judges side with wealthy private schools over rural and low income students, something has to change. #ncpol #court

Just a reminder, as RFK Jr is now shaming mothers for not breastfeeding, that MAHA is a eugenicist movement. #FedIsBest

Opinion | Trump used an ugly slur against Tim Walz. Many on the right didn't mind. Eric Garcia: Note how few Republicans have criticized the president's rhetoric.

One reason why? Many on the right want to use it again. Libs of TikTok said "We are So Back" after Trump called Walz the r-word. Jack Posobiec, who promoted Pizzagate, said "Trump just officially gave us the word retard back."

As both a person with a disability and a high school parent preparing my Autstic kid for higher education (fingers crossed) this language is highly dangerous. Can we stop the ableism please.

Lots of board books 📚. I once had to sing Wheels on the Bus for 1 hour straight, but that was more out of pure desperation. My kiddo liked fidgeting with a Rubik's cube.

They are still heavily in #Cary as of today, 11/19. Spotted them off High House and Maynard heading toward the detention center they have off of Evans Rd. Please be vigilant and call it in to Siembra NC! I did.

We know there's a field office off Evans Rd.

ICE was heavily in Cary NC today. Cary NC! Cary makes safest places to live lists all the time. The idea that they're here because of crime is ludicrous. I mean we all know that, but still. Thanks ICE for terrorizing yet another community.

OMG! I just got off the plane in Asheville and RFK Jr. Was boarding and someone passed by him and said “quack”

White House Ordered To Step Up Accessibility A federal judge is directing the White House to reinstate sign language interpreters at many press briefings months after they were abruptly removed.

Hey Dems! Dont you dare blink first. Also cute sad dog for impact.

I ❤️ Love my friends @purpledotpiercings.bsky.social

I'm still here. I'm still working to make this system better. But Wake needs to take some serious responsibility if they hope to truly build partnerships.

Theyre still using out dated language like special needs and claiming 'they're making improvements' doesn't build trust. They promise to do better every year, yet so far, those of us on the other side of the table, have yet to see real evidence

Read WCPSS’ statement on how it reaches special-education school settlements Wake says it’s attracting families with significant and complex disabilities who are filing special-education complaints.

I might write up my complete thoughts but for now, as parent of a Special Ed student in WCPSS this statement represents so much that is wrong in our systems. From blame instead of building bridges with families, Wake isn’t helping their cause. www.newsobserver.com/news/local/e...
