Pausing my Twitter sabbatical to share a reel that I, a “grandma millennial,” made. One day, God willing, OK will have open primaries. Till then I’ll keep praying for cooler heads and common sense to prevail. #vote#oklaed#publicschoolproud
My early bday present to myself is another hiatus from the drama. I have to believe that life isn't a complete dumpster fire..that there are things worth hoping for (& that my 5yo isn't more mature than most elected officials/pastors/celebs).Here's to working toward that reality!
@allisondeclares @PantsuitPolitic They did show his trail via Closed Circuit theater viewing for the victims families... I've tried to read up on the bombing some, since I was a kid here when it happened (and remember it fairly well)... but it's different seeing it as an adult. Will need to read this book!
@allisondeclares @PantsuitPolitic Interesting fact: I remember when they executed McVeigh and it was HOTLY debated in OK whether or not to televise his execution. (WHAT). He actually wanted it televised (double what).
All that to say: Prayers for provision & REST in your next decade! If you are struggling, suffering and weary: it WILL get different. Don't give up. We need you. ❤️
In 2010 I was rejected from 110 entry-level jobs while I worked as a nanny, went on food-stamps & suffered through a break-up (w/ my now husband). I paid $400/month toward school loans (interest only) & had a $100/month "healthcare plan" w/ a $14,000 deductible.
I'm SO THANKFUL for the doors God opened & the way things changed over this decade, but I will likely never forget the terror of living through those years. I'm still learning to trust. If you wonder why I pile on jobs like it's going out of style, now you know!
My grandparents got stuck at Penn Square Mall during a shooting there today , taking cover with strangers in the back of a Chicos. Happy Holidays America!
@allisondeclares My favorite was the secretarial jobs that required a MASTERS or worse, the jobs I applied for that turned me down because: "You are overqualified for this position" Gee. Thanks. Guess I'll keep babysitting for a living then.
I'm gonna rewrite the headline:
Dr. Maya Rockeymoore Cummings, chair of the Maryland Democratic Party and widow of Elijah Cummings, announces run for his House seat.
If you worked for this administration (or legislative body for that matter) and claimed to be a "voice of reason/person of morals/adult in the room" etc only to resign and then write a book, thereby profiting off of the madness: SIT DOWN. You are a part of the problem. #gross
@christyfrink And that's with the US birthrate currently being the lowest it's been in 32 years... I could be wrong but I predict the US birthrate continues to decline (or levels off for a while) until there's an economic turn. Kids are $$$
