@zachsilberberg Grew up in PNW. No idea about weird threesomes on the east coast. But aren't the states so teeny that you can drive through a few of them in just a few hours?
@traveldog777 @zachsilberberg 🤣 this is pretty true. It's just some mythical part of the east coast where it snows too much. Though I'm gonna guess that New York is one of the three 🤷♀️
@Zazamyodor Had a "friend" tell me I lacked authenticity. They were allowed to explore themselves as teens but I was not... unless I did that exploring with them on their terms. Yeah, that *friendship" didn't last.
@ReadAndThen @FreeRangeKids@TheWeek Sounds like a good opportunity to help her start her own business or see if she wants to hire herself out for odd jobs to neighbors for cash.
@elizamondegreen I only struggle with "they" bc it's used most often in the plural. It's not natural for me at all. No issue using he/she even if it doesn't match with the person's presentation.
If you dislike Dave Chapelle‘s comedy, don’t watch. If you think drag shows are bad for kids, don’t bring them. If you’re offended by Roald Dahl‘s books, don’t buy any.
Ended differently than I thought it would. So let me finish it:
Emergencies happen fast. Sure the hospital isn't cozy but there are docs there to keep momma & baby safe & ALIVE. No one wants them to be necessary but we're damn happy they are there when we do need them....
everything about birthing culture is wrong.
babies should be had at home in beds and baths, not fluorescent hospital rooms.
the process should be organic, unmediated by chemical or surgical help and unassociated with the dread and pain it often is today.
@JoeEsjay When I graduate I'll have a degree in chem which gives me the option for working in a lab or other industry but I'm definitely thinking about going into healthcare even though that means more school. Love healthcare & RN & above pay VERY well.
@JoeEsjay But I had always wanted my own career with my own $. I must have been about six when I understood what that meant & it's been the goal since.
@JoeEsjay Yes. It's happened once before when my husband was ill & lost his job during the financial crisis. My previous career wasn't well paid enough so I'm finishing education atm & planning for my next career. Requirements being that I can support all of us just in case.
