Jimmy Kimmel on the people who voted for Donald Trump:

“It was a terrible night for everyone who voted against him. And guess what? It was a bad night for everyone who voted for him too. You just don’t realize it yet.”

[flora 🐇 @hloverry]

it genuinely breaks my heart, it would’ve been so refreshing to see a woman who’s extremely qualified and who actually cares about the country as president

[Lili Reinhart @lilireinhart]

I cannot fathom the feeling of the women who came forward about their sexual assault at the hands of Trump. Seeing millions of people vote for their abuser.
My heart absolutely breaks for these women. I believe you, and I am so sorry.

Celebrating #CareDay24 from down under this year. As a young person who grew up in foster care for over 12 years, I have always had a dream of travelling to Australia and living there for a while. The dream for many years seemed far-fetched, but this year, it came true. 1/

Many men don't find it easy to open up, or on the other side, to ask a friend how they're doing. Ahead of #InternationalMensDay on Sunday, we're sharing some tips that can help make the conversation easier.

[Elly Chapple Founder #FlipTheNarrative©💜 @elly_chapple]

Sunday thoughts. NVC is a language like any other. If we don't understand it, that's for us to remedy and learn about.

It is never incumbent (should never be) on someone seeking support to have to speak our language, particularly when in distress.
