Extraordinary for JD Vance to invoke a friend who needed an abortion, while appearing on behalf of the president who ended American women’s right to choose.
The fact that a competent and qualified Black woman has to go up for a job against a clearly incompetent and unhinged man is such a spot on representation of so much of the experience of being a Black woman in this world #Debate2024
Kamala Harris: “Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people, and he is apparently having a very difficult time processing that.” #Debate2024#peopleforkamala
BREAKING: Joe Biden is no longer running for re-election.
Now, everyone who pushed for this can apply equal pressure onto Trump — a 78-year-old convicted felon who rambles, slurs words, confuses names, and goes on strange tangents — to drop out too.
For the good of America.
@AGoldmund I feel like it’s functional in the baby situation because it helps to propel you through that whole fucking whirlwind of poop and spit up and stuff. I feel like it’s a supply/demand thing; we signal to our bodies that insane energy is needed, somehow, and we chemically get it
@AGoldmund Been there with hypomania. It’s delightful until it isn’t. Most of my episodes were caused by SSRI withdrawal, so I don’t (personally) buy that excess serotonin theory. I do know that I can bring one in if I have a few nights of very brief sleep — like when I had my baby.
Three years ago, I embarked on a terrifying journey: becoming a college student at the age of 50 after only having an 8th-grade education and spending 35 years in a totalitarian cult.
After three years of hard work, long nights, tears, and wanting to give up so many times, I have earned an associate's degree from NYU.
I'm now working on my bachelor's degree.
I desperately wanted a higher education for many years but didn't move forward because I feared I was not smart enough. Even though I had managed to leave Scientology, three decades of brainwashing still gripped my mind.
I feel so grateful to have gotten the support I needed from my family and friends, including my mom, my step-father George, my sisters Nicole and Shannon, my husband Angelo, and most of all, my little nugget, my daughter Sofia.
So many of you have gotten me through the most challenging times. I have read many of your comments and drawn inspiration from them.
I couldn't have done this without the support of my therapist, who provided the support and tools that prevented me from giving up early on.
Thank you to the professors and staff at NYU and my amazing tutor.
I know I am in a position of privilege that has offered me the flexibility to do this. But over the past three years, I've heard from thousands of people, especially women, who have decided to take the leap at an older age and get their GED or pursue a college education.
Whether a cult used to control your life, you have a full-time job as a stay-at-home parent, or full-time job(s) outside of the home, it's never too late to continue your education and pursue what you have always wanted to achieve for yourself!
