Being a former nanny, when I watch Below Deck I think to myself, "I could do that!", "that's just like being a nanny"..I need to figure out how I can get hired on a vessel. Frfr...in dire need of a positive life change.
@bluewmist Omg takes me back to childhood memories I have of sneaking to read at night past my bedtime 🤣🤣 I would take a flash light and read on the covers, when my mom would come in I'd just drop the book in between my bed and the wall hahaha so innocent
Our house rule is you don't have to go to sleep if you're reading. So my 8 year old is now reading 6th grade reading level because he likes thinking that he's getting away with staying up after bedtime. Win/win.
Daniel Cressy, 23, becomes the first person in Louisiana to be cured of sickle cell disease through gene therapy
The treatment uses his own stem cells, edits the gene that causes red blood cells to “sickle,” and puts those corrected cells back into his body.
One time my dad took me to a check-up and the doctor told me happy birthday. My dad snapped "It's NOT her birthday." So the doctor silently handed him my chart while asking me how old I was. I said ten! 😁 and then I got in trouble. for not telling...my dad..about...my birthday
I feel like I’m in a twilight zone. I thought it was common knowledge that these types of aesthetics are acknowledgment of our ancestors and African culture. A statement of resisting whiteness & reconnecting with the Earth, their roots.
James Dorsey is 94 years old. Born on Ellerbe Plantation in Shreveport, Louisiana in 1931. He still does not have a birth certificate because the plantation never recorded his existence. The effects of slavery did not end with emancipation. They followed our people into the most basic records of identity. This is NOT ancient history.
Somebody's grandmother is out here making a pound cake with no recipe written down anywhere, and when she passes, that knowledge is just gone. We treat that like it's normal. It's not. Write it down. Record her. That recipe is an heirloom.
What really cracks me up is when extremely high earners break down their spending and they’ll start by saying something that we all agree is an unavoidable burden like “ya know, taxes take almost 50% of that 10 million right off the top” and you think for a second you’re going to be able to empathize in some capacity then they start giving examples of the most absurd, unrelatable, borderline hedonistic ways they spend money. “After that I’m left with just 6 million and my dog’s masseuse runs 12k a month and the guy who cleans my shark tank is another 15 and then of course the live-in sommelier isn’t cheap as you can imagine, not the good ones anyways. People don’t realize that 10 million just doesn’t get you what it used to”
