“They’re all swamped”

This is the whole issue around these lucky vaccine winners. The second freaking dose. If they get the first dose with no follow up, that’s essentially a wasted first dose. If they get the first dose with a follow up, they may have simply been in the right place at the right time for Dose 1, but Dose 2 is actively…

That and give everyone with lupus free drugs.

Exactly. It’s also a situation where ethically speaking, the vaccine is meant to be distributed equitably - people who need it the most get it first. But when the vaccine distributors aren’t connecting with those who need it most, the whole ethics question kind of gets thrown out the window. What would we have these…

100% with you on the later in life adoption plan. I know I definitely want kids, but forcing it into a specific timeline when I know I don’t need my child to be bioligically “mine” seems unnecessary.

Dang! None of my pregnant friends are doing baby showers or ignoring COVID. That’s completely freaky - especially when pregnant women have been excluded (for good reason, ethically speaking) from vaccine studies.

I know a lot of people who intentionally conceived during the pandemic. They all come from families who could financially support them if things get shittier. The COVID generation might be privileged AF :/

I want to start DM’ing her tips for getting into an affordable college on scholarships/grants/loans so she can get out of there and not have to be financially dependent on her parents once she does leave.

I really feel like it’s time for a mass exodus from Twitter. Not just banning Trump and the Alt-Right, let’s all leave! Sure, bite size news and opinions is an addictive snack, but why stick around a breeding ground for white supremacy and terrorism?

I also wonder if she’s getting shit from Trump supporters for her posts. That’s a mob I would never want after me.

Maybe I’m an asshole, but where should they sleep? The Holiday Inn? This isn’t wartime, but isn’t this the kind of thing they are trained for? If I’m gonna trust anyone to sort this out and set it (and me) straight, it’s gonna be the actual vet (who’s actually in a wheelchair!).

Ask around if you know anyone working in a nursing home. Many nursing homes didn’t end up needing all the doses they got, and end up having to either offer it to the community (65+) or return the doses. The process is very improvised which made me feel icky about it ethically at first, but really they’re just trying…

I had a similar immediate thought when I read the headline. “Go into work everyday just like every underpaid, overworked, physically and verbally abused healthcare worker who had to weather the constant existential threat of COVID-19 exposure because our healthcare system doesn’t look after its workers.”

Complicated feelings about this account because in the age of the social media+COVID I really wonder about the best ways to promote positive behavior change, but low-key excited that one of the a**hole nurses I work with could be called out here one day. He’s the type of sh*t who yelled at me in front of my boss for…

Even if she has good advice - if there’s one thing that should be free - it’s access to the best information for raising children. It’s so gross that people are like, “Mmmm pay me $200 and then I’ll explain how to soothe your child.”

It really freaks me out that the Capitol is worse at controlling things like visitors than freaking understaffed nursing homes in Podunk, USA.

It such a bad divorced parent move to expose your kids to someone you’re dating for publicity.

I would provide friend 1 with the option of knowing. Perhaps starting the conversation by just stating that you know someone who had a bad experience dating allyguy and would friend 1 like to hear about it?

I’ve become really interested in the experience of the close friends and family members of QAnon groupies. It sounds like hell and really similar to trying to pull a loved one out of a cult. From what I’ve read, one of the biggest mistakes you can make is to belittle people who are interested in conspiracies - it just…

I get what you mean, but this suggests that something fictional does not hold historical value. A know a few historians who would strongly disagree. Yes, it’s no Birth of a Nation or The Jazz Singer, but a point that other comments have made is that it’s Trump’s ability to sneak his way into the American psyche…
