That's the usual way my cat meows, almost like whispering. Only when she is really upset does she meow out loud. I had a cat who started meowing louder and louder as she went deaf. It actually hurt my ears sometimes when she was close, like sitting on the back of the couch.

Yeah, honestly: “parental rights” are starting to sound more like “property rights.”

Even my teeny town of ~1300 people had a Dickie Dee trike for a while. As a child, it was thrilling. I especially loved the red white and blue rocket pops. As an adult, I feel sorry for the kids who did this in my extremely hilly community 😬

And the idea that the people who like punishment are the fiscally responsible side is ridiculous. Spending to prevent crime (UBI, mental health treatment, housing) is significantly cheaper than spending to criminalize and punish being poor Tough on crime = wasting taxpayer money to hate poor people

>> care about every client in a different way. I've been a (trainee) therapist for 8 months and have spoken with over 40 people, about half of whom became clients for at least a few sessions. There are things they have in common, but absolutely none are just like the other.

Finding someone you truly vibe with is key. Talk to several people. If you end up in a situation that is not working for you, you can ask for a referral to someone else. This happens all the time in therapy and we don't (shouldn't!) take it personally. It true, it is a job, but also I like and >>

The fundamental issue is that cutting crime means investing in things that since the civil rights movement, and especially since Reagan, the US has argued that people need to "earn." And having well invested public resources lowers the cachet of being rich

Many of us are still trying to save you. But you don’t want to hear that the pandemic is ongoing. That everyone is at risk of long COVID. That you should wear an n95 in public. As a healthcare worker who has watched patients & colleagues die & become disabled for 5 years: put on a fucking mask.

On this Labor Day, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.

Taylor Swift was never anti marriage. She was anti settling in marriage & waited for the right guy, someone who celebrates & isn’t threatened by her. Incels will never understand but a secure man is sexy. Men who respect women are sexy. Kelce is a Swiftie & he gets it. She’s Taylor Fucking Swift.
