Also, it needs to be stated and restated that acknowledging you have a “difficult” child to raise does not correlate to you loving them any less than if they were “easier”. We can love our kids and still admit they take a toll on us mentally, physically, etc.

Would have been fantastic to have a representative in the OR during and after my emergency c-section at Sturgeon County Hospital. Maybe they’d be able to testify to the doctor’s negligence that nearly killed me, and somehow magically didn’t make it onto my medical records. 😒

Racism requires power imbalance, which is why he said it as he did. The oppressed can’t be racist against the oppressor ‘cause they don’t hold the power. What you’re referring to is prejudice. Prejudice is possible, not racism, as prejudice doesn’t require imbalance of power.

I notice:

and 2) that’s a very uhm… ⚪️… crowd… 🫣

It just showcases how much untreated trauma we all apparently have. It comes from the fear that, the moment you let your guard down or give too much freedom, something bad could happen.. and then you’d blame yourself, because you eased up. If you hadn’t, they’d still be safe. 😔

Reese sounds like a sore winner. How dare FLOTUS suggest including the runner up. Just because it’s never been done before, doesn’t mean it can’t ever happen. She’s a woman trying to celebrate women. LSU is the team I cheer for in every sport, but this behaviour is just gross.

Well said, but also keep in mind - a lot of the programs highlighted (the new ones) are coming from the NDP. These are resolutions voted on at last year’s convention that are now being introduced by the NDP, but rolled out through partnership with LPC.

It was proven in his NB and NS stops. Both stops he said “over 2000 people” showed up. When called out in HFX, he started saying there were “others” in an “overflow room”. Only to be called out again, with floor plans from the hotel’s website showing other rooms’ size & location.

It’s really not baffling. People think the internet and social media removes any type of personal responsibility. Who you see someone being on the internet is their true self. Their persona in “real life” is a front (although nowadays many have given up trying to cover at all).

“Wonderful” as far as Gayle knew. But based on how Linda treated Gayle, I doubt she was the type to ever bare her soul to her child. If she had traumas, she probably kept them bottled up. Not defending her, but just from personal experience, that’s a plausible assumption.

That’s interesting that it cost anything. My husband had a cyst removed from his neck recently in Nova Scotia by his family doctor and it didn’t cost anything out-of-pocket. A hospital visit for it also would have carried no out-of-pocket cost.

People, it’s legal in the US to have a gun in your checked baggage. That’s how she “got through” TSA at LAX. Obviously that’s a flaw in the system, because laws where she was going were not taken into account when she boarded. Legal where she got on, illegal where she landed.

It’s also the fact they’re pushing not only a relationship but a heteronormative relationship by default. Those who complain about the queer community “grooming” children are the same people consistently pushing their own ideals on children. It’s hypocritical at best.
