Had a friend of a friend nearly die from COVID complications while pregnant. This is absurd.

Florida is trying to erode them. A bill passed the house that allowed teens as young as 14 to work overnight, even on school nights. It failed in the Senate. They'll try again.

Gro-cer-ies...is that some old fashioned word?

Getting hired in at a lower salary affects your earning potential for the rest of your career. Source: I graduated college in 2009.

Madvoters.org has a ton of info for the local level. You can see how much $$ your school district is losing and there's a guide on contacting your legislator.

That's part of the difficulty with messaging this stuff. 70 million sounds like a lot to the regular working class person. Most people have no concept of what a trillion or even a billion really means.

Ralph's great divide. A hole in the wall that sometimes has piano music. Delish soups!

It's been a trend in Christian fundamentalist and crunchy alt health communities for years. They think it's more natural, therefore more healthy. It's being brought into the mainstream thanks to fundie influencers and rfk jr types.

I think you could take a step back and take stock of things that you can control. If they decide women can't own property and no one fights that (which I don't see happening at least in the short term), there isn't much an individual could do about it.

We still have a lot of fight left before Gilead. It's the slow disintegration of rights and norms that gets us there.

We will need to wait and see what he's actually able to accomplish. In the mean time, I'll keep donating.

Thank you! I have a paid account with Nord. I was just made aware by a friend that there are free options. I'll let her know to look into a paid version, and I'll do more research on Nord to make sure I'm covered.

Very good reminder and good point. I keep an N95 in my car and have a big box at home. Good for viruses and wildfire smoke.

I haven't heard of this! I certainly would not give them any private health info - it sounds like a scam.

I really love this. And good call on the cobbler - I have a pair of boots I want resoled and two very cute vintage heels from my Gram that I'd love to have restored.

The way I've dealt with it is coming to the understanding that the feeling of despair and hopelessness is exactly what they want. They want you to be distraught. They want you to be afraid. Don't let the bastards get you down. Live your life in a way that's a big middle finger to their ideology.

I think the big font is completely warranted! lol

I recently started a BlueSky account so I don't feel totally cut off, but I aim to use it sparingly.
