Adults should be able to go trick-or-treating. Free food is wasted on children who don’t have to think about budgeting

I’ve seen so many takes on what to do about how to fix the mass shooter problem and gun problem and the truth is that even if someone was right I don’t think the other side would even listen to it. It’s tragic how divided we are.

Our bodies are not designed to absorb and process this much violence, loss, and grief.

What absolutely heartbreaking news coming out of Texas. This should never have happened.

It’s so tiring applying to jobs.

[Nora Baron @norabaronr]

Wow I think I just decided to try to take a VERY different career turn. This will be interesting.

It’s so funny to see all the things that are pumpkin flavored. Pumpkin pizza doesn’t even sound good? However pumpkin tiramisu sounds rockin’

It’s so wild that one of the books I used for my senior thesis is now a show! And thankfully, @DopesickOnHulu was actually produced with the author, Beth Macy, so it stays on the main line.

In grade school we heard the plane flying so low and we could see the smoke from the Pentagon from the back window after it got hit. No one really talks about it since it’s a military station, it was construction, not many casualties but it shouldn’t be forgotten #911Anniversary

John Ramirez wants the touch of his pastor's hand when he's executed tomorrow night in Texas.

This led @keribla and I to wonder what rights death row prisoners have as they face death. The simple answer: not many.

@Lynnhancoxsbcg1 @Kimberl69490204 @washingtonpost Someone clarified that she, the doctor, did in fact see people who were unvaccinated — just via webvisit instead of irl and I have no problem with that.

[Nora Baron @norabaronr]

@Texden1975 @Kimberl69490204 @washingtonpost Thank you. See, I have 0 problem with this, honestly.

@TinaJam07876208 I’d happily read more than I could if you’d let me use your subscription, the paywall came up, it’s true

@GuyWithPPMS @Kimberl69490204 @washingtonpost Nicotine substitutes have also been around for a while in various ways. Also as someone who is clean and sober I do know how hard quitting a substance is. But it does fit the “it harms others, they should’ve known better, why are they being treated” thread
