Thanks to everyone who reached out to check on me after this announcement. I enjoyed 15 wonderful years of Netflix DVDs by mail. Those red envelopes will be missed.

After 25 years, Netflix is ending its DVD-by-mail business, which at its peak in 2010 had roughly 20 million subscribers. https://t.co/NwDQpF2MGq

Thanks for writing this, @JasonKander! I identified with so many chapters as a military spouse but also gained so much from this as a foster parent trying to help kids recognize and navigate trauma. Recommended reading, @Manring4MO127 & @KimChismJasper

Again, for the folks in the back.

This argument about ‘returning’ abortion decisions to the states is absolute garbage because thanks to roe v wade, abortion decisions are made at the most local level possible: between women and their doctors. That’s local control, folks.

@esaumccaulley @nytopinion Thank you so much for this piece! I married into the military late in life and it has taken me a long time to come to terms with what it means for me and my own career. This was a welcomed perspective.

All the reasons why I hate walking into @autozone once a year to buy new wiper blades:

1. Being called sweetie by the guy behind the register.

Opinion: Our child-care system has been failing women (and men and kids). That may soon change. https://t.co/3R6Jy1A0q1

@KimChismJasper @nytopinion ‘And are centrist Democratic Senators Joe Manchin and @SenatorSinema ready to risk not being re-elected the way Liz Cheney has by forging a substantive compromise …?’ I don’t think Sinema is. And it’s disappointing that she’s my senator and I voted for her. I expect better.

@UberjamM My favorite platform.

Since moving to Colorado Springs in November, I have been harassed for going without a mask outdoors by people passing through an otherwise completely empty playground, and harassed for wearing a mask while grocery shopping after mask mandates ended. Takes all kinds, I guess.

@KimChismJasper how much coverage has the CCR given covid?

‘[In 1918], the state’s local papers published lists of people who were sick, so even those who didn’t know anyone with the flu could see that folks around them were dying.’ https://t.co/ri0nCeGVbV

“It made the pandemic seem more local,” Orbann said. “Now, with fewer hometown newspapers and restrictions on sharing patient information, that kind of knowledge is restricted to people working in health care.”

‘I will never forget what it feels like to be a woman who is not having children. And how that might be because a woman genuinely doesn’t want to — an equal, valid and conversation-ending choice that should be respected unequivocally.’ https://t.co/5F5QgOw1GZ

‘I understand if you are tired of wearing a mask and are overdue to breathe in fresh air, unobstructed and in public, the very first second you can. That may be your best. That may be what is right for you. Don’t shame me for doing the same.’ https://t.co/SdkE3EJPyx via @cogwbur

Me: Are transcripts not the biggest scam? Why do I have this diploma if I still have to pay $15 to prove I earned this diploma.
Shawn: Yeah it’s a scam. I already gave them $80,000, the least they could do is give me free access to my own grades.

@KimChismJasper @nytimes @kharaldson @shelbyann02 Simply make your Christian values align with whatever you want to do and what you want to read and believe. By whatever means necessary. Sigh.
