Changing the world as a #breastfeeding advocate. Changing my life with walking, yoga, Pilates, and gardening.

DYK that the global monetary value of breastfeeding was estimated to be $US3.6 trillion in 2020?

Governments fail to recognise #breastfeeding and other forms of care work—mainly done by women—as making vital economic contributions. https://t.co/BB3vthQ3MW

I turned 33 today, and have Long Covid.

By 34, I don’t know if I will be healthy or bedridden with crippling fatigue.

Governments don’t want to hear about this and doctors can’t help.

If you think this is unacceptable please RT. If you are in the same situation please like.

I think the heart behind this for me is this: We present the world to kids as a solved equation - but that is boring and completely untrue.

Hope no one minds if we update the definition of the word "legend" to simply read: "Serena."

So I see Australia's entered the "No-one could have foreseen this" stage of the *checks notes* seventh wave.

That was stunning to hear AZ House Speaker Rusty Bowers talk about the threats he, his family and his neighbors faced because he refused to overturn the certified results of the 2020 election. He resisted a fascist putsch. An attempted coup.

Many grievers are pouring their energy into activism & advocacy—commemorating the dead, or pushing the US toward lasting memorials. This is common after tragedies: Those who suffered most have to fight for recognition & reparation. 13/

I heard Betty Reid Soskin is retiring at 100, and want to congratulate her for more than a decade of service as a National Park Ranger.

Betty, I hope you realize just how many people appreciate everything you’ve done—myself included.

I’m not a childhood educator, but there are two things I believe about teaching kids faith:

1) How we make kids feel in church is what they’ll believe about God

2) How kids see faith impacting your life is how relevant they’ll think faith is to theirs

@tvrasche I use arise because it makes me happy.
