🤰$5K for having a baby? That’s cute. Giving birth (with insurance) costs an average of $19K, with women paying $3K out of pocket. 💸 Caring for an infant in the first year costs $10-23K. 💰💰💰 (www.newyorklife.com/articles/bre...) These are not serious ideas.

The fact that I have an ancestor who fought at Lexington/Concord never meant much to me beyond a cool historic link but these days I am absolutely leaning into that shit. Hell yeah, my guy.

A really easy way to check yourself is to ask “is this something Morgoth would do?” and if the answer is yes, don’t do it!

My first appointment attempt ended up canceled but NOW I am measles re-vaxxed. Very much fighting the urge to get every other vax while we still can.

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

Took me a bit to get through this one. Obviously an ambitious outing, and some sections are a little clunky, but overall paints the broad strokes well and dives into greater detail at the historic crossroads. 💡📚💙

Finally through Volume 1 (of 6), tracing from 98 AD to the earliest days of Christianity. I had no idea Gibbon wrote this series between 1776 and 1788. I had always assumed it a much more recent history, given how widely it is still referenced. 💡📚💙

Loved this but wow themes of propaganda and submission to governance by the few are really hitting too hard. 📚💙
