I just watched Pray Away on #Netflix and it was…tough. Opened some buried memories and there were scenes that truly resonate with me. I know it’s hard for some closest to me to understand some of what I’m working to heal from but I’d recommend this film as a great start

I am at wits ends and need help. My dog will not take any kind of medicine or supplement without a battle. I’ve tried peanut butter, cheese, crushing it into wet food, and eventually end up forcing it into her mouth. Never fun. Does anyone have tips for a difficult dog?

The way the gas stove culture war is already playing out is a great reminder that you could very easily get the right to start eating lead paint chips if you simply pointed out that liberals want to control how much lead you consume.

The Nazi’s based parts of the holocaust on the US prison system and the forced sterilization of incarcerated women.

(content warning) This is absolutely horrifying. Women at Perryville are being forcibly induced early, also making their labor process extra long and painful. Then they're billed for the costs. Our prison system is one big human rights violation after another. twitter.com/JimmyJenkins/s…
screenshot from "Arizona inducing the labor of pregnant prisoners against their will" on AZ Central by Jimmy Jenkins text reads: All of the women reported experiencing labor for a long time after they were induced. "It makes your body do something it's not ready for, and the baby isn't ready for," Pearson said. "It stresses the baby and the mother out." Pearson said her previous experiences with spontaneous labor lasted only a few hours, but the prison-induced labor took nearly three days. "It's a lot more active labor, which means a lot more contractions, and harder contractions," she said. "After the birth I was in so much more pain than my other ones, and it took a lot longer for my body to heal." link to article: https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona/2023/01/02/arizona-inducing-labor-of-pregnant-prisoners-against-their-will/69768038007/

Some Democrats might not show up for future rounds, I’m told, by several sources… some are just bored by the House GOP drama, others think it’s better than voting present

Oof. Sorry for my friends and family living in Ottawa County. Incompetence is a hallmark of the county leadership so this decision doesn’t really surprise me

October 12th, Columbus OH A 36 y/o white man Krieg Butler Sr. got out of his truck & shot 13 y/o black boy, Sinzae Reed, then drove off. He came back around and reshot him multiple times in the back, killing him, then fled the scene. Imagine after 5 days, Krieg was a free man!

Trying to use
@DocuSign
and smacking my head against the table. There is nothing efficient about sending documents out to multiple people within this stupid app and customer service only sends me videos that aren't helpful. I'm getting so frustrated.

Poison an entire city & the charges get dismissed but someone stealing food to survive or sheltering on a train in freezing weather gets criminalized. This is how crime is socially constructed: criminalize mostly poor people for petty offenses while legitimizing mass harm.

Bowling and the jukebox has been one country song after another. Not my schtick, with few exceptions. So I started playing Whitney, Mariah, Miley, back to back and the cowboys were lined up at the juke before I left hahaha

Paul Whelan begged your father merely to tweet about him in 2019. When I profiled Elizabeth Whelan and her efforts to free her brother a few months later, the Trump White House did not so much as acknowledge my requests for comment. theatlantic.com/politics/archi

The Biden Admin was apparently worried that their DEI score would go down if they freed an American Marine.

Ted: “This past week I heard from an FBI agent who pulled me aside (big strong man with tears in his eyes) and said, ‘there are so many of us who are so upset about what’s happened to the FBI, that’s it’s been turned political.’” (Odd how he sounds just like Ted)

I once worked a Black Friday at Urban Outfitters where I watched grown adults hit each other over a sweater, a woman bite another woman, two teenage girls get arrested for stealing a BUNCH of stuff, and had people scream at me for hours. Be nice to retail workers today.
