@Walgreens and @Enfamil are sending 📦 of baby formula to people who buy pregnancy tests during a *checks notes * nationwide formula shortage. This is dangerous, wasteful, an invasion of privacy, & a violation of The International Code of the Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes.

High quality childcare helps children & parents thrive, yet the cost of care makes it inaccessible to many families. The UK subsidizes the cost of care, yet uptake remains low. @B_I_Tweets outlines how behavioral science can be leveraged to improve services & ⬆️ access to care.

@AirbnbHelp @Airbnb_uk @Airbnb 4 days after @Airbnb🚩my husbands' account for "safety reasons," canceled his 2-week booking, & blocked him from making new bookings, we finally heard from @AirbnbHelp. They cannot help, cannot explain why his account was blocked, & cannot lift the block. Unacceptable @Airbnb_uk

[Rachel Machefsky @_RaeMae]

My husband travels for work & books his accommodation on @Airbnb. He has ➕ reviews on his profile. His 2-week booking was 🚩 by @Airbnb as “unsafe” & automatically canceled. Airbnb blocked him from making new reservations for 10 days & haven’t explained why or how to correct 1/
