Kid Fears by the Indigo Girls has been on my mind as those of us who are survivors of SA are living with daily triggers in the news: youtu.be/k_7-3NKLSDE?...

What the hell? In today’s thrifting adventures, I give you this gem. It’s satire. Had me and the ladies who work at the thrift in tears!
I’m just a woman. Standing in front of her government. Asking it to respect her.
Is the suggestion to “focus on the good” meant to shame us for opening our eyes to injustice? Toxic positivity makes us believe that the status quo is acceptable.
My Western Civ professor claimed that the US isn’t imperialistic. I asked him how we got the 50 states and brought up the Philippines. I proved him wrong. But we’re at it again. Bullies taking what’s not ours. This is wrong.
I’m only nostalgic for vintage clothes, art, and housewares, not vintage attitudes and social structures.
We heard a knock on the window. This Golden Crowned Kinglet was stunned, but recovered in a few minutes. She’s so cute!

I’m a PT. The DOE just deemed my profession as non-professional, along with OT, SLP, NP, and PAs, all of which require post-graduate degrees and passing board exams. What a slap in the face to public servants. This will devastate our healthcare system.
This one was for book club. And unexpectedly delightful story about how three lives connect.
Just finished this self help book. Easy, good read, with so many super relatable bits of knowledge and advice.
Found out that our insurance premiums (employee sponsored) will go up to $2700/month before adding dental and vision. This is with a $12,500 deductible before anything is covered. This is ridiculous!
Even if you’ve never heard of James Dobson, if you were raised in any type of evangelical church in the 80s to 90s, you were affected by his influence. May he have the afterlife he deserves. #jamesdobson
