@aliciaandrz My son is this kind of guy (he's at SJC, so it tracks) and I was this kind of youngster myself.

@petersterne Young Gen X er here, caught up in the same hype since I moved here in 1999. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@TheFP Almost no one in my circle had any trouble at all getting pregnant in early 30s, or even mid-late 30s. The only one I know, had been trying since mid 20s with no success. It is a crapshoot and isn't fair, but I have a hard time believing there is an epidemic of sterile 33yr olds.

This was posted in the new Epstein files release and removed about 20 mins later.

Wonder why that is.

You're 17 weeks pregnant when your water breaks.

Your OB says you can wait until you get sick enough for a hospital lawyer to allow them to perform an abortion to save your life or you can drive *yourself* out of state for basic healthcare...

Because you're in pro-life Arkansas

Murdered by his government 01/24/2026

FYI, the government paying influencers $8 million to push pro-ICE propaganda online, is what “paid professional outside agitators” actually looks like.

[Isi Breen @isaiah_bb]

People asking why they would leak this video when it clearly shows the officer murdering her.

It’s for this reason. So you can see she’s gay. So you can hear her condescend to the officer.

It’s for their side, so they can reassure them that she was one of “them,” not us.

Whether it’s Democrats putting their pronouns in email signatures or Republicans shooting and killing unarmed drivers, both sides have taken actions that the other side finds threatening.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.

Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.

Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.

It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

@sappholives83 I had endometrial biopsy today- with anesthesia. I refused to do it otherwise. It is insane that this is not the standard. It is standard for colonoscopy, which takes about the same amount of time and does not involve punching a hole in an organ.

American hero, Mark Kelly has only had one wife. After she was shot in the head, he retired from the Navy and NASA to care for her and help in her recovery.

Pete Hegseth’s current wife is the woman he got pregnant when he was cheating on his 2nd wife who was also pregnant.

Enough is enough. I was with Zohran on September 11th 2001. We were 9 years old at school in Morningside Heights.

By 9:30AM we realized something was really wrong, because the teachers looked scared and they had paused classes. They had us call our parents to come pick us up.

I remember looking at Zohran on his dinky Nokia phone with his dad, as I was on with mine. We both had the same look on our faces because we were realizing our dads were also scared. We were wide-eyed, frightened kids who didn't know the world was changing around us in that moment. We could hear fighter jets flying low over the Hudson.

I went home and got under the covers in my parents' bed. I bet Zohran did the same. The jets kept flying overhead as I watched the towers burn on TV, then collapse. The memory of that day is indelible, as it is for every New Yorker.

You can say whatever you want about Zohran and his politics. I have, both good and bad. But the sickening weaponization of September 11th against Zohran, who was just another scared kid on that day, isn't just beyond the pale. It's a betrayal of every child and adult who spent that day dizzy with fear and confusion.

No apology or retraction is sufficient.

@aliciaandrz Class of 95 - wish you were there when I was, I would have taken one of your classes! (Med/Ren minor). I loved it there.

[LeanneGonzalezSinger @LeanneGSinger]

@witty_genstein I do not understand the panic about starting baby-making before 30. Among my cohort, most everyone had their kids between 30 and 35 (33 really), often a 2nd or even 3rd child not long after. Similar SES, maybe a little less wealthy/ more creatives. NYC, GenX and Xennials.

[LeanneGonzalezSinger @LeanneGSinger]

@madisontayt_ Hard same, not sure of your age (not asking!) but I'm young Gen X. My default state was single for most of my youth, with flings and occasional rejection here and there. The pressure to let yourself be chased and won was no joke. I'm now married 20 years but still annoyed lol

[LeanneGonzalezSinger @LeanneGSinger]

@ThomasB238 @gumbyadroit It infuriates me to see people treat cats as disposable, or temporary, or "until we get a dog" or "until we have a baby." Or they get a dog and the cat is relegated to some back room, gets no affection, develops behavior issues, gets surrendered or abandoned. People are garbage.

[LeanneGonzalezSinger @LeanneGSinger]

@_nomadic_soul I'm old enough to have seen this antifeminist "panic" (backlash) 2x before: once in the 80s, & again in the early 2000s (ie that Atlantic article encouraging women to settle). Most of my friends, including me, are longtime married/partnered. Curious to see these fools in 10 yrs.
