@ashleyfxxx 🫂 I'm not sure that's how gestational diabetes works & your mom is very insensitive. Rude even.
They check everyone for gestational diabetes, regardless of weight.
All that matters is that you take care of yourself & you have every right to avoid her until she apologizes

@DuchessSexpert Happy birthday! 🎉🎂

From your receipts, none of those points are applied to your free turkey if you didn't activate the "coupon" yet. And they won't be applying them retroactively based on the disclaimer. Pretty shitty of you @acmemarkets . Also might of interest to the FTC & CFPB

[The Old Mama @cattress511]

@acmemarkets
Acme hid this year's free turkey promotion from loyal customers. Instead of applying points to a loyalty card automatically, @acmemarkets required customers to activate a point counter before your spending would be counted towards the goal. They even scrubbed it

@IncarcerNation We should be arming Ukraine with enough to level the Kremlin damn it! Nothing for Israel, everything to Ukraine. We promised to protect them in exchange for them giving up nukes. We should have done this already.

@sesamestreet Hey Sesame Street, you over in the good place yet?

@laurenancona At the Elkton Walmart, I wish I took pictures of the trees surrounding this retention pond. Every single one was felled by the beavers, leaving tree trunk spears sticking a few feet out of the ground.
It's a family of beavers there now.

@saltyliberal74 Just give Peggy Hill's grout cleaning suggestion as if it was your own.
I said this in response to a tweet about giving the the most toxic advice (supposed to be a joke) & got 7 days suspension 😂

@ExiledFred @_nomadic_soul Some of us don't like when bigots think we are one of them & it's ok to share a hateful remark because they assume we will agree & then we have to make a scene letting them know we are disgusted by them.

Just this post right here, this filthy little P.O.S. Is in charge of shutting down Social Security & the Veterans Administration & all its hospitals.
If Trump wants a Civil War, he’s got it, I’m one pissed off bastard right now….God Damn these traitors…especially this little puke.

@dadmann_walking Hey, you coming to 🩵skies? I'm going to do both but I was looking for you over there too

[The Old Mama @cattress511]

@DuchessSexpert I'm keeping my account here for the time being, but I think you're cool so I followed you over there in case you decide to visit.

[The Old Mama @cattress511]

@DuchessSexpert Seems ok so far, though I haven't figured out the specifics of curating my feed just yet. There's so much longing for old Twitter that people want to build there, which is nice even if things will never truly be the same.

@_kaylee222 Pregnant. I tolerated the painful & unpleasant parts because I wanted a baby. I can't imagine how terrifying & awful it would be if I didn't want to be pregnant.
There's no reason to remain pregnant if you don't want to be & it shouldn't be up to anyone but the pregnant person

[The Old Mama @cattress511]

@_kaylee222 Bullshit about staying on my Adderall- by people who didn't know my full medical history.
The stigma of taking a stimulant is already ridiculous, I didn't make the decision lightly.
While my pregnancy was relatively easy, I would never wish it on someone who didn't want to be

@_kaylee222 More transvaginal ultrasounds until there was no cardiac activity before I could finally get a D&C. I didn't want all those unnecessary invasive tests, especially not once I learned there was no chance of viability.
For my one successful pregnancy, I had to deal with so much

[The Old Mama @cattress511]

@_kaylee222 Breastfeeding before we were ready.
The 2nd time showed cardiac activity was way too low for gestational age on the 1st ultrasound. Again, I should have been offered the option to end the unviable pregnancy right then, but instead I was offered false hope & required to get 3

[The Old Mama @cattress511]

@_kaylee222 The pregnancy, but that's never proven effective (which is why abortion reversal is not a real thing), instead of just being told the truth & offered abortion care right away. I stayed pregnant for over a month unnecessarily & the progesterone dried up my milk so I had to stop

[The Old Mama @cattress511]

@_kaylee222 Without getting more into details, the reason that each experience made me more firmly pro choice was how little control over my body I ultimately had.
Each miscarriage was clearly unviable- the first I had a progesterone of like 3, I was given progesterone to "help" save the

[The Old Mama @cattress511]

@_kaylee222 My insurance, & they absolutely do cover it. Someone tried to prevent me from treating my miscarriage, putting my life in danger, by throwing up a financial barrier that a lot of women on Medicaid can't overcome.
