@Virshy38429498@Jeffrey16915885@julianblacks_@Charlot08673864 If they get notes for half the school to be absent for X amounts of days a month (most schools look at education plans when you exceed 18 in a YEAR and that will be achieved in the first 3 months). Their budgets will be looked at if half the class is missing 25% of the year.
There’s a mom at our school drop-off. Messy bun, always three minutes late, kids usually eating dry cereal out of a Ziploc. The "Pinterest moms" always whispered about her. I honestly felt a little bad for her.
Then one day at the playground, my neurodivergent son had a massive, violent sensory meltdown. I’m sitting in the dirt, crying, totally paralyzed.
The "perfect" moms just stared and pulled their kids away.
Suddenly, she’s there. The messy mom.
She drops her giant bag, sits right in the dirt next to us, pulls a heavy sensory toy out of her purse, and calmly shields my son from the crowd. No panic. No judgment. He regulated in three minutes. I was speechless.
We had coffee after. She told me her house is a disaster and she has severe ADHD, but she knows exactly what a nervous system collapse looks like.
I asked her how she deals with the judgmental stares from the other moms.
She took a sip of her cold coffee and said: "Perfect moms know how to bake organic muffins. Chaotic moms know how to survive the trenches."
Every time I see her running late now, I just smile. Girls, be like the messy mom. Stop apologizing for your chaos.
BREAKING - A man in San Antonio, Texas, is being hailed as a hero after sacrificing his truck to stop a runaway vehicle driven by a man who had passed out from a medical emergency, saving not only the driver’s life but also preventing potential harm to others.
@2020_ph@FireUpUmich@EricSpracklen Exactly what I was going to say, anything bigger and the winds would have been impacting her so much she should have had to take shelter. (Have had F1 tornadoes jump my house as a kid [side of a valley wall, the channel of air up the hillside for the drive way caused lift])
@NatekolaMacKic@DavidCastilloAC To clarify, I abhor ANYONE trying to ruin another player's career. (Which was another thing the fans in Colorado were screaming. Maybe I an in a VERY unique section of STH for the Stars but we NEVER yell for that to happen in my part of the been.)
@NatekolaMacKic@DavidCastilloAC I would ALMOST believe you if they didn't try the same crap in front of me at home ice as the entire crowd was YELLING for that exact thing to happen during their second game of the season.
@wfaa First responders are: specialized professionals—including police officers, firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, and 911 dispatchers—who immediately provide aid, secure scenes, and offer medical care during emergencies.
The Trump administration is disgusting!
Yesterday, ICE raided a home on St. Paul’s East Side. Their target was ChongLy Scott Thao, an elderly Hmong American man.
He’s a U.S. citizen with no criminal record.
Armed ICE agents broke down the door without presenting a valid warrant, entered with guns drawn, and handcuffed him in front of his 5-year-old grandson, who was left crying and traumatized.
This happened in sub-zero conditions, with wind chills near -30°F. Thao was dragged outside wearing only shorts, a blanket, and Crocs and marched through the snow.
ICE then drove him around for nearly an hour, questioned and fingerprinted him, confirmed he was a citizen and not the person they were looking for… and dropped him back at home.
No apology. No explanation. No accountability.
Is this what you voted for?
