We don’t all need to buy the exact same things that we use occasionally. We should have organized borrowing.

People are not attempting to legitimize slavery because of the past, it's because they want to do it in the future.

A whole lot of people can't go to the dentist because it's so expensive. Everyone has teeth. They're not special. Furthermore, the health of one's mouth can greatly inform one's overall health. Why can't it just be a basic service. By sheer fucking volume alone, they'd make a shit ton of money. Unless the idea is to work less and charge more.

Without IVF, I would be childless. I have two healthy children because of the procedure.

"And now, Republicans are saying that if they retake the White House they will change the Medicare rules so that people newly turning 65 will enroll by default into Medicare Advantage rather than real, traditional Medicare, further enhancing the profits of these massive, billion-dollar insurance giants while rapidly killing off real, traditional Medicare."

When I was a kid, my mom made a new rug out of an old one for me. She turned over a rug she no longer wanted and used rug glue to attach rug samples in a patch quilt type of way. It's was really cute and it's
still there.

*Back then, rug samples were free.

I'm taking my dog for a walk. On top of this racist nonsense here, just found out a close friend died. I need some nature right now.

"More people have died of Covid in America, as a percentage or in absolute terms, than any other developed country in the world.

Why? Because Trump and his Republican enablers and co-conspirators were just fine with getting the economy back on track to win an election over the bodies of dead Black and Hispanic people, particularly when they could blame it on Democratic Blue-state governors."

Did Trump let Americans die purely for political purposes?

IT WAS GENOCIDE.

There should be a show solely dedicated to weather/climate that shows what's happening all over the world on a daily basis. Temps, floods, fires, etc.

I hope the wealthy haven’t given up on deep sea exploration. They should keep pushing the boundaries.

Not going to lie. It makes me feel a certain kind of way to know that all this masklessness is because white people think they can't get covid and don't give one fuck if others do.

'The email, which the trooper sent to a superior, suggests that Texas has set “traps” of razor wire-wrapped barrels in parts of the river with high water and low visibility. And it says the wire has increased the risk of drownings by forcing migrants into deeper stretches of the river."

Exclusive: Texas troopers told to push children into Rio Grande, deny water to migrants, records say

"Lawmakers and the governor are so proud of themselves that they’ve already branded this misguided way to deal with homelessness “The Florida Model.” But mandating that a class of people exist behind by barbed wire and supervised by authorities in the name of “security” is called internment. It’s incarceration as punishment for being destitute. And, it’s despicable — reminiscent of some of the world’s worst atrocities."

I've had conversations with some of the residents of my father's short-term nursing facility and I'm having a hard time processing what happens to the elderly in this society. Don't you understand this will be you one day, if you don't die young?

Do not send your child to college in Texas. You'll pay money and they'll get an inferior education.

In the United States, women ONLY had 50 years of bodily autonomy and personhood. I am 60.
