It looks like we’re having our third miscarriage of the year. Won’t know for sure for 48 hours, but things aren’t looking good. If you could think of us, that would be great. Our ER doctor told us not to completely despair, but he is not very hopeful and neither are we.
Before my grandfather died I asked him for his waffle recipe. When I was growing up he made waffles all the time (and would take color requests: green,blue, pink, etc.). This morning I’m making my grandfather’s buttermilk waffles. Those peaches are also from a tree he planted.
I should *not* have to be worrying that my toddler (who is still learning about masking) is going to catch COVID or not at the freaking doctor's office. Masking should be mandatory in healthcare.
My mom: I found some really cool stuff out about your grandfather on this neat website.
Me: Oh, what's the website?
My mom: An Unexpected Discovery!
Me:...Mom. That's MY website.
Almost a million additional people with federal student debt have had such egregious errors on their bills that the Dept of Education had to pause borrowers’ interest and not require them to make payments.
Aidvantage, EdFinancial and Nelnet (+ MOHELA) have all made huge errors.
Called the pedi's office, explained that our household is currently immunocompromised, and asked about air purifiers or what the hospital is doing to prevent the airborne spread of viruses. Their answer? You can mask.
So, nothing. The hospital is doing NOTHING. Got it.
My friend's little boy has been in and out of he CICU at a large children's hospital and recently had to move to isolation because he caught COVID while in the hospital.
Masking should be mandatory in healthcare settings.
I just spoke to a mum who’s critically ill child has been infected with Covid for the first time at Westmead Children’s Hospital in ICU. Where she says they didn’t wear even surgical masks.

My in-laws told me about the flu, pneumonia, and shingles vaccines they got this year. They won’t do the COVID vaccines because of what they’ve been told by Fox. So frustrating.
I will never understand the animosity over COVID booster shots and vaccines in general. Vaccines may have alleviated more human suffering than any other invention. So to all those denigrating science and medicine please get a life. And I mean that literally.

I did this for a little while and used an auto number generator to pick the meals - but then got to where I was skipping the options 🫠 I need more choices for the generator I guess
My boyfriend of over a year broke up with me today because he just didn’t feel connected anymore (I swear if I have one more man tell me they don’t love me like I love them 😠). I found this note from my grandpa when I was going through an old book. It’s quite comforting.
What kind of trauma is it when you’re going to through something big, but don’t want to tell your family about it because you don’t want to deal with their feelings?
@MamaSitaa__
I was really angry after we caught COVID. 4 years of trying to keep my family safe felt like it was for nothing. Those feelings lasted a few weeks. I still mask. I still limit who we're around. I know we need to avoid it as much as possible. It's lonely and hard.
Also can't get over why I have to write a paragraph on these fucking applications about why I dream about working for shit pay. Are you kidding me? Your pay range is $12-$15 an hour and you want people to spend their time writing a BS answer?
I. Don't. Dream. Of. Labor.
NEW: Private corporations are buying up public water and sewer systems.
Then people's bills skyrocket.
In Pennsylvania communities are fighting back — and rejecting the privatization of water.

This pregnancy was the best secret we’ve ever kept.

I’ve become the “fringe friend” and it makes me really sad. I used to be the “connector” friend that set up gatherings. Now, interactions feel really limited because I’m the only one still coviding.
I just got off of the phone with my PCP. If I didn't already love her, this would absolutely make me adore her. I've *never* had a doctor call to talk to me about any kind of game plan 1/
This is a subtweet. If someone has died, telling their bereaved loved ones "remember god has a plan" is the flattest, emptiest condolence. If this hurts your feelings, maybe you need to sit with them. What's god's plan here? Devastation for a family?
Don't do this.
I am way too burned out to give you the answer to "tell me about a time you navigated a conflict with a coworker" in the application. Can't your AI just scan my resume and either move it on or reject it?
@TsaiMeLemoni
My husband’s coworker had a positive covid test last week and said the nurse at the clinic told him he could just go back to work - didn’t recommend masking or staying home. Why?!
One of my cousins is making straw-man arguments on Facebook about gun violence being over inflated like he’s Diet Ben Shapiro and I just fucking can’t don’t this with my family anymore. I’ve tried to maintain relationships with extended family for genealogy - it’s not worth it.
She told us she saw our labs and was absolutely heartbroken. She's making a plan with the blood doc and coordinating with our OB so they're all on the same page as we move forward. Glad we're being heard. 2/2

I had people tell me that they’d let me know how hard pregnancy was when I actually got pregnant because they didn’t want to scare me. It’s wild.

One recommendation I've seen is Telehealth, having an RX mailed to a state where it is legal, and having it forwarded on from there.
Being a Boomer must be incredible - able to take advantage of multiple systems and destroy the planet with no real consequences during their lifetimes.
It’s almost 90° in February and the high today is 95°.
Very proud of the little dude - he's responding to his name, is going potty outside consistently (just a few accidents in the house), and comes when he's called!
In just under two weeks I'm getting married. It'll also be the first time that I see my wedding dress. I have no idea what it looks like. I tried it on blind folded and two of my friends picked it out. I can't wait!
The N U R S E in the ER last night told me "oh you have one of those fancy masks." No, friend. It's a KN95 because my N95 broke in the car. Then, the nurse said "It's smart to wear that here. There's a lot of germs." I know. Why aren't you wearing one, again?
I just can’t believe we got SO CLOSE to masks in healthcare being normalized and then even the medical community said ehhhh fuck it. Just straight up losers, I’m sorry. We could’ve had something so good.
