Since dipshit pulled us out of the WHO and ceased all public announcements from the NIH, CDC, FDA, etc I hope we use this platform to keep each other informed. Like they say “if you see something, say something”

Surprised that it snowed in Florida, Georgia, Louisiana? Mother Earth’s response to tRump pulling out of the Paris agreement. She gave him a big middle finger. He won’t get it…🫣

Obviously no one there got past basic biology….at conception, and for about 8 weeks, all embryos are female. If sex is determined at conception then all humans are female. If some of them are claiming to be male they must be trans.

Ok, so tRump cancelled NIH medical research and thus, grants. I’m a little uninformed in this area but aren’t there NGOs and private grants that could fill some gaps? Desperate times call for desperate measures…

I laugh every time this drug commercial comes on - the daughter says “mom and I have gotten closer, even with her dementia….but then she started swearing….we knew we had to do something”. Hell, my kids would be concerned if I STOPPED swearing 😂

I live in a small community - economically on the high end. An elementary student brought a handgun to school today. I wonder how much the UHC shooter hero worship contributed. Stop already!

Read the books they tell you not to read. Listen to the music they tell you not to listen to. Visit places with different faces, and cultures, and food. This my child is how you grow….
