Are you too broke to break up? Is it 'til debt do us part? πŸ’°πŸ’”

I'm looking to speak to Americans who can't afford to break up for a @wsj.com article.

What a lovely quote. My husband @jordanwbarrett.bsky.social works in both children's and adult dramas and he will love that.

I just read The Little Prince for the first time which you should read 3 times in your life apparently and it's very much about seeing the world through a child's eyes.

The company I work for is fully remote. There's no central office at all and we can work from anywhere in the world as long as we have Wifi. Happy to chat or put you in touch with my boss.

LGBTQ+ Travel Index - Six-factor index reveals the best travel destinations for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, and LGBTQ+ travelers in 2025.

Our LGBTQ+ travel index is something that shouldn't need to exist, but unfortunately it's needed. Especially in today's climate.

If your birth family is struggling with acceptance, I hope you get unlimited love from your chosen family. You have this Mama in your corner and always will. 🌈

I won't let my son's face appear on the internet. The reason is terrifying I don’t want to risk exposing our son to potential predators or online grooming. It’s just not worth the risk.

We made the choice before our son was born not to share his face online. I've written about for Metro. Feel free to pop me an email at ruthbarrettpr@gmail.com metro.co.uk/2024/01/30/i...

When a journo replies to say that they're covering your client's campaign less than an hour after launch.

Even better when it's seasonal. Amazing work from the Root team to get that cut through.
