Let's be clear. The term "barely legal" refers to 18 year old, who while at an age they can consent are still very young and vulnerable and not an appropriate age for a grown ass man to date to have sex with. Not being statutorily illegal doesn't make it right or even okay. #barelylegal #epstein

My teenager switched the language in #HollowNight to Spanish as away to improve his vocabulary, and I'm here for it. Also, smart move to make his mom think of video games as an extension of homework. Smart kid if I must say so myself. #bilingualism #Spanish

I successfully got an immediate cancellation of Disney+... This was a big deal, in part because my autistic daughter is a huge fan of the platform - but our family is a bigger fan of the 1st Amendment. #1stAmmendement #JimmyKimmel @DisneyPlus #BoycottDisney

I am 42, feel great, and have normal cholesterol and blood pressure measures. I do have a family history of heart disease and after a discussion with my PCP, I received a coronary calcium CT study today. It helps looks for evidence of coronary artery disease and is underutilized in the US

1. Don’t buy a Ring 2. If you have a Ring, you should have gotten rid of it a long time ago 3. If you’ve ever knocked doors, you know that easily 25% of Ring doorbells have dead batteries. That’s how useful the owners found them.

@microsoft.com and @google STOP INCLUDING AI TOOLS THAT USERS DIDN'T ASK FOR!!!! You make it nearly impossible to disable tools like Gemini and others. Some of us don't want to waste nature resources because we are capable of reading our own damn emails. Stop the madness!!!!

My mom is the biggest Hulk Hogan hater of us all. She just chimed in.

Ex-farm worker here. We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing. Not true AT ALL. Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are. The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour. At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

Someone (@lewfoo) posted a long thread on the THREADS app about this. I’m posting the @npr.org story on which her thread was based here. PLEASE READ & SHARE. It’s so important. @cbsnews.com @nbcnews.com @abc7.bsky.social www.npr.org/sections/the...

What can I do to make my neighborhood better? I need to talk to my neighbors. I will finally start up my garden again and I will share the produce with my neighbors. One step at a time, reclaim and celebrate humanity.

Republicans in Congress have structured the most painful benefit cuts in their budget bill to kick in AFTER the 2026 midterms.  But the tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy? Those begin immediately. Remember this.

I'd rather have a world where teachers, scientists, and researchers were valued more than military might. A world with humility and empathy and kindness. It has to start with me, because I CAN change me.

I'm a US citizen... Can I put in a request to be deported to Canada?

I made the mistake of going to Facebook... I wanted to share with family and friends and reconnect. FB isn't in my phone for my sanity... Wow ..just wow, the number of horrid people who hate humanity... Who wish terrible things in others. Why? (Nature pic for my mental health)
