My son just started his trek to McMurdo Station for work. Won't be back until August. I'm happy for him, but my Momma heart is sure going to miss him.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

CNN is making Charlie Kirk sound like the second coming. He was not an inspiration to many citizens in this country nor was he a voice of morality.

So they're flying his body back on Air Force 2, the VP is escorting the body home, and he's being given the Presidential Medal of Freedom. JFC - the bullshit is deep and the hypocrisy is laughable.

On one of my trips to South Africa. I spent six months in Durban on an internship for my MPA. It was a life changing experience. Hope to get back soon.

I'm selling my house and paying off all my debt. I have two Master's degrees, I'm a Licensed Social Worker and I have ZERO motivation to use any of them to make my way through the last 10 - 20 years of my life. I'm tired of the capitalist rat race and want to live. Anyone wanna join me?

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect. As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

The reality is we are on a collision course, the brakes have been tampered with, the guardrails have been removed, and the gas has been replaced with Space X rocket fuel.

Speculums are nasty, traumatic, and outdated - they have a dark history and live up to it. I’ve been getting pissed at then personally and professionally for years. It is such terrific news that there has actually been progress at bloody last and imma keep sharing it cos this is excellent.

I was listening to a story on the BBC last night about the Argentinian Revolution. Folks, only the country and names have changed. The path and trajectory are exactly the same.

Republicans, Democrats...... different, but alike in so many ways. Set term limits, take away lifelong benefits, prohibit trading of stocks, speaking fees, or becoming a lobbyist after serving and see how many folks have a burning desire to serve.
