One of many links about TN conservatorships.

[Jessica Morgan @TheJMo78]

@lorimann1210 @tattilothi @yumcoconutmilk That’s not a conservatorship - that’s guardianship which is for kids under 18. A conservatorship is explained everywhere as something you do for someone who can’t care for themselves. And $200,000 per family member plus 3 percent of a $300m movie isn’t getting rich?

@afrosabi I question why I bother vacuuming. It’s just dirty within two hours again because my former street dogs are too good to eat the crumbs of their food or treats.

[Jessica Morgan @TheJMo78]

@AnnaKeesey @notcapnamerica @NCookBouton I’ve been arguing with a lot of other white women about it. They all have the same argument too.

[Jessica Morgan @TheJMo78]

@notcapnamerica THIS!!!! I keep having the same debate that always ends with “well, the timing is weird.” 🙄

[Jessica Morgan @TheJMo78]

@DolomiteMick @JenniferLBreier @QueenMab87 Same.

[Jessica Morgan @TheJMo78]

@lorimann1210 @tattilothi @yumcoconutmilk According to where? Nothing I’m finding about conservatorships says that. Lawyers who have helped families get conservatorships for years for their disabled children are saying it’s not a common use.

[Jessica Morgan @TheJMo78]

@lorimann1210 @tattilothi @yumcoconutmilk Where are you getting the info he was well-informed? Did he have has own lawyer who explained conservatorship to him? Or are you just believing the Tuohey’s story unquestioningly?

[Jessica Morgan @TheJMo78]

@lorimann1210 @tattilothi @yumcoconutmilk Or they could have just adopted him as they said they were going to which would have provided him oversight and rights. Conservatorships are traditionally used for people who are incapacitated physically or mentally and unable to make their own decisions. This was not the case.

[Jessica Morgan @TheJMo78]

@afrosabi Yes. Yes they make me very sick.

@CalltoActivism This makes me love Fiona Apple.

@mathildamoo @afrosabi My old one told me I was only gaining weight because I drank one soda a day, but finally did the test. He was annoyed to be proven wrong when it came back as hypothyroidism …

[Jessica Morgan @TheJMo78]

@ViPuhstushyn @afrosabi @KDCoug88 I’ve had this too. My “normal” looks super hyperthyroidic, but I don’t lose weight or have any hyperthy. symptoms. But decrease meds, and I go hypo so fast. There’s some research out there that people should be treated for symptoms, not numbers.

[Jessica Morgan @TheJMo78]

@TabooBooSF @afrosabi My first thought!

[Jessica Morgan @TheJMo78]

@afrosabi @TabooBooSF They tell all women that fatigue and/or pain are depression or stress (or ovulation). Took me 8 years for a fibro diagnosis, took my MIL 5 years for an MS diagnosis, and so on. My husband goes in with pain, they believe him. Hope you feel better soon!

[Jessica Morgan @TheJMo78]

@QueenMab87 Plus, I would argue honoring your own family name looks very different depending on your background.

[Jessica Morgan @TheJMo78]

@QueenMab87 I took my stepdad’s last name as a kid because I wasn’t close to my bio dad. It was a hard name to pronounce and husband’s was easy, so I took his. For me it was MY preference of what I liked, not to “uphold the family name.” To me, choosing what I want IS feminism.

[Jessica Morgan @TheJMo78]

@sewalkerAT @thejournalista Well, I mean, she’s definitely “OFF.”

[Jessica Morgan @TheJMo78]

@tattilothi @lorimann1210 @yumcoconutmilk It’s even worse than that - they f*CKING LIED. Adult adoption is allowed in TN. But it would have given him rights as if he really was one of their kids. Not just lip service that he was family while they took advantage.
