I am going to start a thread re: binge while you can't sleep or are otherwise safer at home. A running reference list for myself and others. I'll pin it. Comments and suggestions welcome!

[WillNotBeSilent @EMPteacher]

I have seen a lot of posts about what should I binge next. I've read a lot of those and the replies for ideas. Not once have I seen Doom Patrol as a suggestion. That is a shame! It is truly delightful, nuanced, hilarious (adult- lots of profanity). HIGHLY recommend.

Stop telling girls that boys hurt them because they like them

Start telling boys that hurting their peers isn’t ok

Teach your girls that people who hurt them on purpose are dangerous; that attention is not the same thing as respect, and to dismiss the former without the latter.

@Cabal_Educator Our relationship with God isn't it to be personal. The purpose of the church is service towards the people. . all the people.
Church is just a pre organized way of doing that if it's a good church

@DreamingDrama_ I will be fine but only because I'm lucky to live close to multiple hospitalqw

[WillNotBeSilent @EMPteacher]

I was sent home from the hospital after they returned my vitals to normal before I ended up in the small community hospital that transferred me to a large Hospital where I spent three weeks and will return to remove cancer 2 weeks from now.

[WillNotBeSilent @EMPteacher]

I needed to be in a hospital and they did not have a bed. I am fortunate to live within an hour of a large teaching Hospital that did not turn me away. During my stay I have seen tired nurses floaters from agencies and nurses pulled from their regular positions to fill in.

I want you to expect this from candidates. This shouldn’t be as rare as it is.

We’re not just trying to win - we’re trying to win in a way that raises your expectations for your Senators going forward.

[Jeff Jackson @JeffJacksonNC]

If you’re willing to stand in the rain to ask your question, your U.S. Senator should be willing to stand in the rain to answer it.

@edutinker Thank you friend.

[WillNotBeSilent @EMPteacher]

It absolutely sucks to be dependent. It sucks to be told that you are using illness as a source of attention which I have apparently been so desperate for that I can't help myself. That mother daughter dynamic is ROUGH.

COVID spread takes time.
Say 50% of people (low vax rate) just stop picking up dog poop at a dog park.
To start with, you don’t notice it. There is tons of space, and little poops. Where is all the poop people say? What’s the worry?
Days go by, 50% still leaving the poops. 1/2

I deleted my tweets critical of Representative Cori Bush’s tweet about confronting Vice President Kamala Harris.

I’m out of my lane. If I find myself on the opposite side of Black women in my mentions, I shut the fuck up and listen.

[E pluribus unum - Qui tacet consentit @HRRevels1]

Me: do you have probable cause?
Cop: I need you to cooperate. Do you have any weapons?
Me: *shows badge* yes.
Cop: sorry, sir, just being vigilant; you're free to go.

I searched, we have not had a vehicle theft in over a year. I have a meeting with the Police Chief tomorrow🤬

@atliberalandold In trying to be upbeat! I enjoy your walks. Take them for both of us.

[WillNotBeSilent @EMPteacher]

@atliberalandold Me, too. Add chronic pain and the sudden realization that I can do almost nothing for myself... cranky covers it! Does misery love company?
