I have three white children and one black child. When I say black lives matter, it doesn’t mean my white childrens’ lives don’t matter. It’s an acknowledgement that they will never face risks and trauma that my black child will face. That MATTERS to me. #BlackLivesMatter
@dustinpari I feel like after following your work for, oh, I don’t know, twenty years or so, the least I can do is bake you a pie when you come to Kentucky. 😂
Is there a name for the feeling when you all you want out of life is to hunker down and eat pizza and watch movies but you also want to break new ground in your profession but you also want to quit society to live in the woods but you also want to go explore the world forever
Something to remember this Christmas - autistic kids reactions to gifts can be different to expected - this week I’ve been told my kids reactions to gifts are rude. I’ve been asked to work harder to make them behave differently. It seems it’s considered a fault in my parenting.
Katharine Hepburn was a bad ass. I read about how she tried to help Judy Garland get off drugs and she exercised every day and lived a very healthy lifestyle.
@MelisandeMarie I work in an open environment and it is very challenging for me. I often go in two hours early to get things done. There are noise cancelling ear buds that will help and also keep you safe from the unfair stigma of full headphones.
@Camivette @NickScutari You would be surprised at how often a minister’s spouse and children have comments made to them about their appearance. When I was a teenager I heard about everything from my dresses to my lipstick. Oh, and my weight. 😬
Found this note my dad wrote by his AC unit. What a fucked up world it is that my dad, who has worked his entire life, has to live in fear that anything can tip them over the edge of having absolutely nothing. It hurts my heart - my dad is the absolute best.
