This is so important! Just went through moving my in-laws (m99, f95) into assisted care. It was a PROCESS. We are very lucky, they had saved money for this. The one thing I’d say is help them declutter and purge stuff beforehand.

Thank you for this insightful thread. Sharing. My issue with the "show more passion/anger" thing is that angry outbursts tend to indicate lack of emotional discipline, i.e., weakness rather than strength. On rare occasions, open anger is appropriate, but in general it's just histrionics.

I LOVE THIS!!! C'mon other airlines. Fair is fair.

With so many people having to confront the reality of aging parents, this is an invaluable tool. 1/ "Our database helps you find issues that inspectors identified in more than 14,000 U.S. nursing homes. Now you can search by owner, manager or officer name." www.propublica.org/article/nurs...

Graham Cracker.

Far too many Americans are incurious & have rallied around those who are intellectually lazy to be spoon-fed "facts". It's exhausting. It's easier for my fellow white people to remain simpletons in their bubble of white supremacy to not move the country forward because they fear any change, imo. 🤬

That level of contempt was always there, it's just that now that he's gotten what he's wanted out of them, he's not bothering to hide it any more. Case number fifty-eleven and one billion of #WeTriedToTellYou

At the root of aaaalllll of it, including fascination w figures like Barnum, is escapism and "my dad didn't hug me as a child" (dad or any loving, trusted adult) Sadly it's not deeper than that. Oh, and racism. That sweet, sweet racism. They love it. Can't get enough.

From #Kavanaugh to #Chavez 1/ "For some people, betrayal results in dissociation symptoms and memory impairment for what happened. Dissociation is a common response to traumatic stress that can include amnesia, feelings that things are unreal or feeling disconnected from what is happening."

He and Liz Warren can go on a Platner crusade tour

Over 500 recognized tribes in the US, but they're always Cherokee.

This is how I've often referred to him, too. #PTTrumpum 1/ "He drew further parallels between Trump and P.T. Barnum, the co-founder of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus and infamous purveyor of hoaxes." www.alternet.org/smartnews/tr...

Well, well. Another hypocritical POS. 1/ In his testimony, he also admitted that he claimed to be a member of a minority group himself. “He identified his race as ‘Native American’ and his tribe as Cherokee,” www.rawstory.com/greg-bovino-...

This popped up in one of my socials. I've seen it before, but it's worth sharing. 1/ I've long seen online and heard IRL from white people, especially "progressives," how they would show more anger in XYZ situation. Bryan Stevenson of the EJI explains why WE don't. youtube.com/shorts/ShNDi...

Why is Platner trying to fundraise for his ME campaign in NYC?

Naw. Thats bc they really are repubs. We knew it when they turned Gaza into an op. The stupidos didn’t get paid only the influencers did. Imagine taking blood money willingly to tank democracy

How many more? How many Black people's arrests or prosecutions were invalid or tainted? White people love to cite crime stats they don't understand which include numbers that result from biased arrests and prosecutions yet never factor people like this into the equation.

Waste, fraud, and abuse. The call was coming from within the house. 1/ "New details have emerged about the taxpayer-funded ad campaign featuring ousted Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem riding on horseback." www.rawstory.com/kristi-noem-...

We could pay TSA employees today. Democrats have voted multiple times to do so. Republicans have blocked us at every turn. Why? They’d rather suppress the vote and send ICE to airports.

So when you stayed home, wrote in or voted for the cicada? You did this. Own it all.

White progressives are still going to pretend this guy has fight in him even tho he cowers at literally the bare minimum questioning by a queer outlet (reminder: Janet Mills told Trump to go fuck himself and she’ll see him in court when he came after trans Mainers - and she won - that’s fight).

"Red hat yokels". They played themselves, screwed the rest of us, and had help beyond MAGA. "... his “contempt” for his most loyal supporters “is getting worse,”..." www.rawstory.com/trump-267661...

He's a Republican. That's the part everyone should know by now. A very bigoted Republican who is a pathological liar and fraud.

Good . Don't bring your asshole bigoted self to my community. Especially not our money. Fuck off

lol, who? Literally everyone under 40 only knows him as the guy who rode “people think I’m Ellen DeGeneres” for too long. He, like Rob Schneider, would be working at Taco Bell had it not been for Adam Sandler’s coattails (and even he could only make frat bros laugh unless he chased Barrymore clout).

The working class just does not have the necessary funds and insider information to take advantage of this administration's market manipulation

And the class reductionist left helped with their purity. GREAT job! #ChoicesWereMade www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...

But just yesterday at his blow job meeting, he claimed we are the only country who does this! And it’s not normal!!! 🙄

I really don’t understand how in the year of our lord 2026 someone hasn’t just leaked all the Epstein files.

When the narrative shifts this fast, it’s not evidence of a conspiracy, it’s evidence of a lie struggling to keep up with itself. Lies trip you up when your story changes.👇

David’s still upset that his performance in the sequel Joe Dirt II wasn’t recognized by the academy. Now he has to hang out at Del Taco on La Brea at 2:40 in hope that high school kids recognize him.

Who knew we’d get all of them in one person and how eager white people would be to embrace him

She warned about George W. Bush & Donald Trump, but you thought Al Gore wasn't a fun guy to have a beer with and that Hillary was too frail to be President.

Fun fact: The privatization of TSA is in Project 2025.

This is what happens when you can't get work unless Adam Sandler decides to do a comedy. One thing about Adam, he will make sure his friends keep their Actor's Equity healthcare insurance. Is therapy covered with that?

Operation Epic Failure is going exactly how you would expect it to go when it’s led by Trump, Republicans, and their Oligarchs pals who are desperate to distract from the Epstein Files.

As time has gone on I've realized there is a still quite small but now non-trivial chance that the entire Iran War is simply an insider trading operation, creating repeated black swan moments and relying on markets continued willingness to gyrate wildly in the face of absurd and predictably ...

I once saw David Spade and Dana Carvey explain racism to people of color. The lack of self-awareness was really quite something. I think I literally gasped in that moment.

Prophetic.

Why doesn’t anyone mention the men who don’t want to father children? Always about the women. Those men exist. Bestie’s youngest, who doesn’t want them, found the sweetest guy she’s gotten serious with. HE doesn’t want them. They are thrilled to be Funtie and Funcle to each of their sister’s.
