I saw the X app update and panicked.
When I see the X, I still panic. It’s just an X but it was recognized as something ‘unwelcome’ was on my phone.
I don’t like the update and I’m deleting the app. The bird was much calmer to see. I need positivity.
Thanks! ✌🏼 @elonmusk
I am pleased that we are able to offer the gift of reading to every child in Kansas from birth to age five with free books from @DollysLibrary! I urge all eligible Kansas families to sign their children up for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library!📚 https://t.co/lnAEQPWxE0
A near-monopoly in the seed industry leaves farmers with few other choices than seeds coated with neonicotinoids. #fromthearchives https://t.co/HHxUmufO0d
“Twice this week, I have watched an elderly individual, fade into the busy life in which we all live. One man just needed Panadol for his wife but the shop assistant simply said it’s in aisle ‘6’. But he struggled to navigate the supermarket and as I watched him go in the wrong direction, I left all my groceries and took him where he needed to go.
Today, I watched an elderly man struggle in the heat, who had obviously had a fall with a huge scrape and blood on his leg. He walked past people in the cafe, while he slowly made his way to his car. Not one person stopped. Or looked. Or acknowledged him. I took him to his car and checked he was ok. He told me he had a fall and wasn’t sure how the air con worked in his car so he just didn’t use it. I sat with him, until his air con kicked in and heard him talk about the old frail body that he is in, that fails him now, every single day.
When you see an elderly person walking down the street, searching in the supermarket or struggling to their car, take a minute out of your busy schedule and ask them if they need a hand. Think about your grand parents and your parents and how pissed you would be if someone didn’t stop to help them. But more, think of them as you.
Once upon a time they were you. They were busy, they had work, they had children, they were able.... Today, they are just in an older body that is not going as fast as it used to and this busy life is confusing. They deserve our utmost respect and consideration. One day it will be you, it will be us. I wish more people gave a sh*t about them and acknowledged them for their admirable existence and geez I hope someday, not that far away, someone does it for me.”

@GovLauraKelly Thank you Gov Kelly, yesterday marks one year of my daughter losing her dad. I wish there was a law where the people with him when he passed out could have safely called for an ambulance without getting arrested, I’m sure that’s why they left him for dead. 💔😭
@Kansans4Hemp@KansasDeptofAg No doubt! I worked the Colorado hemp/cannabis market from the lab side for years and I can say that I encouraged KS to identify how they can follow CO. Of course, that was ignored.
