Honest to God, the length of time I have waited for a Happy Meal at McDonald’s is significantly longer than the amount of time I had with my doctor/specialist in a recent appointment. (The Happy Meal was for me, don’t judge me. 😊)

From childhood vaccines, to COVID concerns, I am fully tired of people suggesting that you consult with your doctor on everything. OF COURSE, it makes sense 💁🏽‍♀️ BUT this healthcare system is designed to reduce your time w/a doctor, so we are left figuring out a lot on our own. And that’s A PROBLEM

If there is a Rapture and all the awesome people are getting an all-inclusive vacation package in the sky… …I feel confident my Black queer behind will be invited (as well as fabulous folks of all and no religions)… …and a lot of these so-called Christians gonna get their feelings hurt. 💅🏾😬😎

Y’all worried about what some late night host said or didn’t say in his monologue… …and meanwhile these cable news networks are ALL IN on new levels. I’m not easy to shock in this regard, but this is deep.

Can you imagine Melissa Hortman’s family feels after becoming aware of this extensive coverage of the Charlie Kirk’s memorial service?

Any Christian (or semi- demi- Christian folks) need to get in formation AGAINST this. Everyone got something to say when people take Islam and corrupt it into hate and terror. Now the call is coming from within your house. They use Jesus (!!) to justify their evil actions. It is so, so wrong.

This Charlie Kirk thing has the potential of fueling a (even bigger) religious pivot of this mess and that is BAD NEWS.

Erika Kirk forgives her husband’s killer. Does this mean she will be petitioning to have the death penalty removed as a sentencing option? 🤔😏 Yeah, she’s likely cool w/the firing squad, but.. Real question: How do people who forgive a killer regard the use of the death penalty in those cases?

She said men must cleave to their wives and become of one flesh, doing God’s work. Then she announced she was taking over as CEO.

Live on CNN: “I don’t know how anyone could have a reaction other than in awe of her [Erika Kirk’s] strength. To be able to do that in a stadium full of people, and give such a beautiful tribute to her husband…” Trump is visible behind pyrotechnics, while Lee Greenwood sings “God Bless the USA.” 🤔

You would think a God-fearing man wouldn’t want sparks and fire shooting up from below every time someone spoke of him at his funeral, but…💁🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

Erika Kirk was not crying. I have no problem with that. It is worth noting that she chose to appear as if she was crying.

If you are writing a screenplay for “All The President’s Men 2: This Time, It’s Personal…” …and your writer’s group says the scene with the bribe in the bag is too ridiculous, don’t you change a thing. You gotta stay true to the story. 💁🏽‍♀️

No way! This is a meritocracy and quality and talent are the only path to success, so… 🤣🤣😂 I love when those movies later find their audience. (Often too late for those involved in making the film, but still…)

The Bajan immigrants are asking about increasing ties to the African continent. The feeling of betrayal by the United States in this Barbadian community is REAL. The commitment to build within and beyond the Caribbean community is amazing. This little nation really is punching above its weight.

Sincere questions to the beloved Prime Minister of Barbados about succession planning. Forward ever, backward never! Talking about creating a robust pool of people who bring intelligence and care to the nation’s leadership. I want this for the United States. But it is hard to keep the faith…😔

The book was “The Formula for Better Health: How to Save Millions of Lives—Including Your Own” by former CDC Director Tom Frieden!

I’m at a town hall meeting of the Prime Minister of Barbados (in New York) and it truly reminds me of the power and beauty of a functioning government. Barbados is technically the youngest republic in the world but YOUR FAVES COULD NEVER.😎🇧🇧

🧵You know your leadership is on point when you call a town hall meeting and people are sincerely asking if it is possible for you to serve as Prime Minister for life. The compromise is a push for the Prime Minister of Barbados to serve as Secretary General of the UN! 🧵

I can’t even live post this meeting with the Prime Minister because there is too much important information being shared…I can’t even keep up! It is - in just about every way - the opposite of listening to U.S. politicians. It reminds you what government is supposed to be for/about. So good.

“In plenty and in time of need…” 🇧🇧🇧🇧🎶🎵🇧🇧🇧🇧

Y’all gonna be hating on people posting about “Andor” now? 🤔

@equitableforall.com Thanks for the repost! 🫶🏽

Think I got blocked by Gabrielle A Perry MPH, by accident (😔) during this awful RSVP thing. There’s kind of a rule to accept if you get 🙅🏾‍♀️, but I got caught up in the block fest she likely did to keep safe on here. So please pass on my apologies if you are cool w/her like that! I love her posts!

@disneyprimevideo.bsky.social I just wanna say I followed you for who you ARE, not who you AREN’T! Your pinned post 🤣😂

I’ve listened to a world of HORRIBLE news on mainstream media (don’t judge me)… …but it is the discussion of Kirk and the perils of being a young, white man (ywm) that is more than I can stand!!! This guy just (unironically) said they needed a SAFE SPACE (!!!) for ywm to discuss guy stuff. But…🤔

When shit starts coming full circle and shit gets real.. Holy shit y’all Release the files.. #SheShed

Happy 5th birthday to the official theme for Spirit Halloween

They got AI avatars in power suits, but still no way to shut down the chat for the one kid in the online class who is going rogue… 🙄

Apparently, there is nowhere in the NYU Langone Hospital system in New York, NY where my children (<12) can receive a COVID 19 vaccine. Last year, their pediatrician’s office (within the NYU Langone system) was the only place that I could find that would give them the vaccine. 🤬🤬🤬 LFG

Do I remember correctly that @kendrawrites.com is an advanced practitioner of the lotion/skin hydration arts & sciences? If so, I seek her sage council! (If not… where the hell did I get that random notion?!? 🤣) Help me Obi-Wan…

My ceremonial viewing of the #CapricornPorn that is the Redford film “Legal Eagles” will be facilitated by Apple TV, one of the many places it is available to rent. ALSO: I was today years old when I learned that the daughter in Legal Eagles is the lesbian daughter from First Wives Club! 💁🏽‍♀️😎✨

Entire day has passed without a single mention of “Legal Eagles!” There is just no accounting for taste on this app! 💁🏽‍♀️ In the movie, the quirky, nerdy, short, dark-haired woman (Debra Winger 🥰) gets the guy…Robert friggin Redford! #GOALS A CLASSIC. Lemme see if that movie is streaming anywhere! 🤣

My two cents (lil tiny 🧵) on the question, “Do I need to provide my contact info/data in a marketing lead funnel” in order to be part of the pro-Democracy solution?” is this: Folks have been mobilizing for generations without the help of Google forms and lead funnels! That said…

Sis, I want you to know that I respect your opinion… …but you and I both owe a lot to all the elders and ancestors who completed that random Google form and RSVPd for the March on Washington. ✊🏾😏

I was assuming that this hire would be reporting to (the visionary) @brendelbored.bsky.social (in the “Devil Wears Prada” sense... ), who would be paid in crypto of unclear origin.💁🏽‍♀️

Y’all know this man lost a parent so early in life, that’s hard! Yeah, he became a rebel, got kicked out of school… …But found a new career, became an environmentalist, and a LOT of folks, INCLUDING MYSELF, respect his politics… Talking about Robert Redford not RFK! 🤣 RIP to a real one…✨🥰

I will just take this moment to say that aiwa was one of the best electronic brands back in the day and Sony was overpriced and overrated!

Wait. New Mexico is getting universal child care? I didn’t know their Governor was a socialist! 😏

It’s not often I’m grateful for pain… but I’m grateful for the soreness in this arm where I recently got my TDaP booster shot. And my kids are gonna feel like pincushions at their upcoming physical. But they know the deal. Read this thread. And get your boosters.

Billionaires are weapons of mass destruction.

All up in the damn Koolaid…🤬🤬 But Bolsonaro is “our son of a bitch” (folks remember the multigenerational use of that phrase in U.S. foreign policy?), so I guess it tracks.

I just want to say that I hope Mehtab Syed is living her best life and not giving any thought to the going ons in the Salt Lake City FBI office. I thank her for her service. 🫡

Is it “compliance in advance” if I keep my mouth shut right now on this app? 😏 Lemme just keep scrolling…

Real question: What is the proper role of BOREDOM in the education of a gifted 11 year old girl? If everything is boring that’s BAD 👎🏾, but it likely isn’t helpful to insist that everything is BIG FUN gamification 🥳 either. What levels of boredom in educational instruction is acceptable/useful? 💁🏽‍♀️

The thing that freaks me out about listening to Trump this time around is how obvious it that he is being used to play this role, he’s a front man for a larger wickedness. Often I’m just left w/the hope that his puppet masters battle to the death like the T-Rex & Raptor at the end of Jurassic Park.

rustbelt rebel does it again this thread is the prequel to the plague that is RFK Jr 🧵✨

RFK Jr. has been beating the charges (hundreds of them!) for longer than most folks on here have been alive… ..and this Senate hearing is a masterclass. This wayward white man using big words, aggressive posturing, and projection to sail through this thing. Historic. And DEADLY.

Sheldon Whitehouse (D- Rhode Island) is really gonna take this moment in the RFK Jr hearings to fuss about some HHS policy detail and how he’s got beef with Connecticut?!? Read the damn room, Sheldon! I really want to hit him with a shoe. (I’ll be kind and let him get treated in Connecticut.)
