What a day! My eldest is engaged, my youngest started tearing apart a transmission, and the middle solidified their position as biggest brained in the family. And my (late husband’s) brother was here for it all. I could go on, but my feet hurt and it’s time for bed. Be good to your people ♥️💫

I went to visit a friend with a new baby yesterday and learned her husband had never held a baby before theirs was born. I wonder how common that is for new dads.

BREAKING: A court-appointed monitor issued a groundbreaking public report finding that ICE isn’t providing adequate health care to people detained at the California City Detention Facility in violation of a court order. No one should be subjected to this inhumane treatment.

Hey yall a friend in Bennett, Colorado who works at Ag and Food Lab, let me know that one of the farmers who works primarily with the immigrant African community needs to replace some of his irrigation equipment: gofund.me/4fe8fad32. He's almost all the way there, just needs a few more dollars.

Just remembered talking with a woman today who kept apologizing for her English (which was very good) and said it is the sixth language she will know. Anyway, she was amazing, and we had a nice conversation.

I am BEGGING you all to understand that you only need 2 units of protein per KG of body weight every day unless you have a special circumstance- the rest converts to stored fat YOU ARE EATING TOO MUCH PROTEIN IT IS NOT A WONDER DRUG

What then is love? …Sensitivity, imagination, fatigue, and this effort to depend on another; the taste for the mystery of the other and the need to admire… What is worthwhile, is friendship… this profound mutual confidence between [two people], and this joy of knowing that the other exists.

"It seems to me that love should not make all else disappear but should simply tint it with new nuances; I would like a love that accompanies me through life, not that absorbs all my life." Simone de Beauvoir on friendship and love: www.themarginalian.org/2025/04/11/s...

If you're able to help me, I would be deeply grateful. I'm doing everything I can, including applying for short term freelance work to get quick cash, but I've had no bites on those applications, either. My cashapp is $YSUBassoon6. I also have Venmo, but that account doxxes me if shared. Thank you.

Qualifying is a lot harder than it used to be, and the restrictions on funding and eligibilty make it zero sum. Only a small number of eligible people will actually receive benefits, and if anything gets fucked up with paperwork, it can take hours and hours to get ahold of anyone to find out why.
