@BedivereArts The Sun, The Mountain, And Me - a truly moving portrait of mental health through the story of an obsessed artist. Reminded me of @sisypheanqfplay - both deserve more press, more awards, bigger audiences. 6/?

@justinmoorhouse : The Greatest Performance of My Life. Saw the very first preview. It was fantastic. We laughed so much. Hilarious, touching. I can’t wait to seek out his other shows. https://t.co/yeXNl0ol0X

Happy #mammogram day to me, my annual reminder that if men had to have their testicles smashed between two unyielding pieces of plastic and metal every year, we would have less painful screening tools for cancer. #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth

"I saw Mr. Cipollone right before I walked out onto west exec that morning, and he said something to the effect of please make sure we don't go up to the capitol. Keep in touch with me. We're going to get charged with every crime imaginable if we make that movement happen."

[Dan Pfeiffer @danpfeiffer]

Donald Trump
- Was warned there would be violence on 1/6;
- Knew that there were weapons in the crowd;
- Ordered the Secret Service to take the metal detectors down;
- Encouraged a mob he knew to be armed and violent to march on the Capitol

Not that I have any faith in @SenatorBurr or @SenThomTillis, but I know @RepKManning is fighting for us.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Six unelected individuals just denied women all over America the right to make their own health care decisions.

They did so after swearing to respect the Court’s decision in Roe.

Congress must fight this in every way we can. Or this Court will return us to the Stone Age.

[Andrew Lawrence @ndrew_lawrence]

watching scotus destroy rights in a flurry of 6-3 decisions, reminding myself that republicans have lost the popular vote in every potus election except one (1) since 1988

This is SUCH an important discussion to have with your doctor if you have or are considering an IUD. I went through FOUR doctors, including 2 female OBGYNs, before I found one who took my history and concerns seriously. If your doctor brushes you off…FIND A NEW ONE.

[UNC School of Medicine @UNC_SOM]

“It’s great to let the clinician know beforehand if you’re nervous, and to tell them if there’s anything specific that might help," Dr. Erica Pettigrew told @SELFmagazine regarding pain management before, during, and after IUD insertion.

@CoxMillSports @BattleAtTheMill Thanks for correcting it! Y’all did a great job. We really enjoyed your commentary, despite Bishop’s loss! ☺️

[Heather A. @katala97]

Hey, @CoxMillSports and @BattleAtTheMill …love your announcers, but BHMS is Bishop McGuinness, not Bishop Gorman. Please fix that for the 2nd half!

[Heather A. @katala97]

@MakeBelieveEric Thank you for sharing King Falls with us. It got me through some really difficult times, and I’ll forever be grateful to be a part of this amazing family. Love to you all. ❤️❤️❤️

[Heather A. @katala97]

I’ve spent the last hour reading this amazing thread about unexpected kindness from strangers. Hour well spent. ❤️

[Mitali Perkins @MitaliPerkins]

I was walking alone yesterday when an unsmiling teen on a bike whizzed by. Our eyes met. He circled back, and I couldn’t help bracing myself for our encounter. “Hey, lady,” he said gruffly. “Five ducklings. Under the culvert ahead.” Then he did a wheelie and sped off.

@KalebMarcotte @exiledscorpion @feliciaday My son was 5 weeks early & had trouble latching on (as do many preemies). I had a male lactation specialist lecture me on how I wouldn’t “bond with my baby” if I chose to pump instead. I told him to go f—- himself and his bonding. Do what works for YOU and YOUR family. Argh.
