@ehs06702@VP@POTUS I am not uneducated & I understand that not being there does not mean no help is being given. And optics matter because… that’s how politics works, whether we like it or not. (Side note, assuming someone is dumb is not the way to get a point across.)
@kairyssdal@profgalloway I work for a company that teaches debates to elem and middle school kids and I love this topic as a debate topic. I think it’s a brilliant idea.
@0liviajulianna When I heard about him going for MRI/what-not to rule out more strokes, I thought FINALLY, Congress has someone publicly dealing w/health issues that impact their ability to do their jobs like the rest of us. Same here. Normalize MH struggles, folks. Healing vibes, Sen Fetterman.
@GNCordova Disgusting. Even if the person needed to be subdued (and of course that’s so often up for debate) the likelihood that this would traumatize or re-traumatize some fairly larger proportion of women is wildly high.
@shaindelr I am an old Gen X-er (born in ‘65 so barely one, I think) and I remember this as being true, mostly for books (for me). There was Judy Blume and Paula Danziger and M.E. Kerr but there was very little stuff for what we now call tweens.
@Eva_B89 OMG I need this. But I’m sorry: what’s a “happy” book that is satisfying to read as an adult? Other than romance (which I am actually taking a stab at getting into), seriously, what?
@KarinaLongworth The film I’ve seen a million times & think is an amazing heist film doesn’t even rank as a flop, I don’t think. No one seems to know it, The Good Thief w/Nick Nolte. His relationship with a VERY young woman is creepy but I love the setting (Monte Carlo), the soundtrack & cast.
@CatsOfYore I agree. I have two floofs that I could not begin to classify and that suits me just fine. The breeding thing is all about us, not the animals.
