I think people forget that even though children survive from these illnesses many suffer from lifelong effects. A women in my choir had polio as a child and has been in a wheelchair since. My grandfather had the mumps, he and my grandmother struggled to have children for years. Had only mom at 40.

While government websites are removing/diminishing the importance of Harriet Tubman, this is what my son brought home to read for his History/Social Studies class. He said he picked it because she looked “like a badass you don’t want to mess with”

Going to Costco this weekend, need to put together a list of things to stock up on. Only thing I wish I had was a freezer for the garage to store cold foods.

Been watching Sen Booker’s speech all day, including during school pick up and dinner prep. And you know what? My kids have been listening. Not because I’m making them (I’m not) but out of genuine interest in what he has been saying. The future is listening.

I want a jet ready to rush Cory Booker to South Carolina once he has broken the record so he can drop a microphone on Strom Thurmond's grave.

We need to stand behind Senator Booker, and not allow either the GOP or the leftists make him a sacrificial lamb.

Mr. Miyazaki sir, I love your movies about how capitalism and the destruction of nature are evil, I made a shitty facsimile of them in a computer that drains reservoirs, do you like it

if you are ever hesitating about running a D&D session, rest assured that hard part isn’t learning the rules, recruiting players, or even writing the story it is getting six adults to agree on a day where everyone has several hours free to meet up

My theory is that someone in Trump’s orbit made a joke about Canada becoming 51st state, and he misunderstood/took it seriously. Because he’s a narcissist he can’t admit it and is now doubling down.

Laying in bed and I thought the sudden movement was either the cat jumping off the bed, or an earthquake. Bluesky confirmed it was indeed an earthquake.

However, it is an excellent time to sell Girl Scout cookies door to door. Lots of people home watching the game, usually with family and friends over as well. Sold close to 50 boxes in an hour of walking the neighborhood

Anyone who is a big fan of music should know this woman, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Godmother of Rock n Roll. Without her there would be no Elvis, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and many many more. #BlackHistory

When Congressman John Lewis was a child, he tried to get a library card. He was turned away & told “The Library is not for coloureds” 💔 He’s a civil rights icon, lover of books, recipient of the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature. “The Library IS for Everyone” 💚 #BlackHistoryMonth

Sorry, getting spanked/paddled and grounded did not cure me of ADHD. What it did was make me even more avoidant, anxious and self-conscious.

Kids made me a birthday cake today. 13 year old baked it, 10 year old decorated it. I helped a little bit, but it was 90% them.
