Some folks who saw my email signature commented on it, so I wanted to share. The US is the only developed nation w/o subsidized childcare. Adding it would increase our GDP over 1 trillion dollars. Not a handout — it’s a smart decision when facing a recession and labor shortages.

Hi friends! I realize this is not an airport, but I will be departing nonetheless. My handle is the same everywhere so I hope to see you somewhere else!

It's been fun but it's done.

I think the most exhausting thing about having a lot of kids is when you say something to one of them, and the others don’t quite hear, and they say “WHAT? What!!!! wHaT?!?”

And then you have to make sure everyone heard you say some inconsequential thing.

@KathleenFromCLE @clhubes @realgirl_fieri Pittsburgher here and I agree, it’s a great city for a weekend trip!

[Meg St-Esprit @MegStEsprit]

@clhubes @realgirl_fieri Have done this at least four times and it’s always been excellent.

@clhubes So we had these Dino sculptures in PGH for a few years around the city, and now it seems they can’t give them away lol. There’s a random one in a medical building in town, etc. I could prob get you a free one 🤣

@clhubes It was honestly just really hard until they went to school. When my youngest entered K my income doubled.

Driving my 11yo daughter and her four besties to a trampoline park last night while they belted @ChappellRoan with all the emotion in their entire bodies was such peak adolescence; major me-with-Mariah-Carey vibes.

@AesPolitics1 Nah. They will not care.

@cmclymer I am a regular blue donor and myself and several of my friends got this text today and our annoyance took over the group chat. We all unsubscribed.

It is time to do away with the electoral college. One vote should be one vote.

[Meg St-Esprit @MegStEsprit]

While swing state life is exciting (and stressful), I hate that my vote as a Pennsylvanian matters more.

Not worried about my daughters’ rights with @JoshShapiroPA in office. I’m voting for the women whose vote doesn’t carry as much weight as mine.

@bebe1969 I worked at either a Pet Land or PetCo or Pet Supplies Plus? It’s been so long I don’t remember. I was 16, did I pay taxes? I didn’t work there long and I remember they paid me with a handwritten check. 1999.

@ShanesMerch1 @clhubes It’s her fav for the park because of the big pockets. For all the acorns.

Oh boy it triggers so many men on here when we say “you don’t have to tell your husband who you voted for” and that says everything. That’s literally why we are shouting this message from the rooftops.

A fire department near my Pittsburgh home recently bore a sign offering condolences for the senseless death of Corey Comperatore at a Trump rally this summer, about 30 minutes away.

It now is advertising a gun bash where you can “win a gun per day.” Make it make sense.
