In the last two months, I have lost my godmother and her daughter (who was like a sister to me) to covid, and now my own father is in the hospital with covid. FUCK the cynics. IT MATTERS to me to have a president who says this. It really does.
@morgfair Hi Morgan. I'm wondering if you could follow me for like 5 minutes so I can DM you? I don't know how else to get in touch but it's about a mutual friend here in San Diego who's in the hospital. I am not asking anything from you-- just want you to know the status. Thanks so much.
@Leafmalone@summerbrennan Thank you. It does, and it doesn't. Grateful he's no longer POTUS, but things are still so bad, you know? And it feels like the people who need to be held accountable just never will be. I really hope I'm wrong about that.
"The female gaze was really important to capture here." Amy Poehler says that when directing new @Netflix film #Moxie she thought a lot about a "woman watching rather than being watched."
Seems like the biggest story today should be the fact that every House Republican just voted against $1,400 stimulus checks, funding to reopen schools, and unemployment benefits, legislation that 76% of Americans support.
@anylaurie16 I haven't watched a single movie but I'm thoroughly enjoying the series. I read one "here's what you need to know" backstory explainer beforehand. The episodes fly by and I think it's very much worth it to watch them all. It's a fun escape.
BREAKING: The House just passed Biden's $1.9 trillion COVID relief bill, 219-212. All Republicans voted against the legislation. All but two Democrats voted for the legislation.
