@WBTVSteveO @libbybakalar @ArgusC It makes a difference because there are people who aren’t past that. It’s great you didn’t consider gender, but we’re not all there yet. You’re right in what you say about her professionalism & that anyone who does that successfully should be celebrated.

@realDonaldTrump You have COVID, remember? If you can get it, anyone can. And it is not for you to tell a governor how to run their state -they close or open based on their needs. What you could do, if you want to be helpful, is stop inciting people to plot against a sitting Governor.

@levitationspell @sourhoestarter @LadieLabrys There’s a doc called Maiden about the first all woman crew to do the Whitbread (round the world sailing). They were referring to them as girls when it started & expecting them to drop out. Then they won a stage. All of a sudden, they became honorary men —the interviews are nuts.

@fesshole Was talking to someone about a medication they need to prevent liver failure. Cost in the US: $50k for a 30 day supply. Cost in Canada, India, NZ: less than $200. They bought from Canada. When we say US system is almost entirely about money, we mean it.

@fesshole It’s a complicated thing. One thing I know: don’t shy away from doing what you feel you want & need to do as a family. Society needs to learn to deal with differences, & there are more people out in the world who understand what’s involved than maybe you may think. Good luck. ❤️

@MaestroMorgan17 @rain4estwhitaka I made the mistake of reading them, like picking at a scab. What’s interesting is that many of them are heading into ‘well, marriage is bad for men, too’ territory —a sort of ‘you’re not rejecting me, I’m rejecting you’ thing.

@HojocloForsyth @TimMurtaugh @Moniorti @CCoceans311 It’s also a mark of good judgment & attention to detail. If you don’t know something or are uncertain how it’ll go, it’s a good idea to do a run through to get the details down. But nah, she should just go in & wing it with no prep.
