That means some of the most vulnerable Americans – families, the elderly, folks with disabilities – won’t be able to get the lifesaving treatment, medication, or care they need.

These are people you know. So let your voice be heard and reach out to your senators now to let them know how much this will impact you.

WFP members and National Committee voted to endorse Kamala Harris for President and we know some may have questions

What does it mean to endorse Kamala Harris? How does this help working people? How will you use your leverage to push her on Palestine? Why now?

Let's talk.

One of my top words. Really, you have to give it all you got because you have nothing to lose.

You may not have created the language you speak, the clothes you wear, the food you eat, the technology you use, but you certainly have a talent of some sort too, a contribution that only you can make, and once you found it, you will know it, and life will get so much more fun.

The Reading & Writing Recession:

More text exists now than ever, yet people are reading less and even outsourcing their writing to chatbots.

Language forms the basis of thought.

If you can't read or write, you can't think.

5 year olds are kinda funny because they’re part baby/part kid, so they’ll come in for a cuddle, then suddenly try to act tough, saying, “yeah, pikachu’s got lightening bolts,” meanwhile their full moon is fully exposed while walking away 🍑

Your most valuable assets will be the same in twenty years:

- a healthy, fit body that shows discipline
- a clear mind that shows ambition, curiosity
- a loving family and loyal friends who care
- the freedom to live on your own terms
- a meaningful purpose that makes you grow

I grew a story out of a passage, and now the story won’t make sense unless I kill that passage, and I’m incredibly torn.

People won't respect you because you did what they expected from you, people respect you once you do your own thing and go way beyond what they thought you could achieve, at which point, you will also realize that you no longer really care about their validation.

For International Day at school, our son would like to pick “The Moon 🌕” as our country and hand out miniature flags to visitors. The rules say ancient civilizations, stateless nations, mythical kingdoms are ok, but I’m trying to figure out if outer space is “international” 😂
