And if we made it through childbirth we’d have any number of now-preventable diseases to worry about! #yikes

Man, strolling through a New England cemetery reminds me that love modern medicine & vaccines. 😢

In 1700s, my 1st son prob would have died from malnutrition as a baby, and he’d be disfigured w/ difficulty communicating if he survived. Birth of my 2nd could have gone very poorly for him and me.

Listening to an audiobook makes shelving go a lot faster! But I still don’t think I’m gonna finish this before it gets returned in two days lol.

Thank you! 🙏 💕 It was a lot of fun! There are more videos but the kids are running around lol.

Jessie May @jessiemayontheweb.bsky.social · 4d

I mean, I wouldn’t sign myself up for that. A lot of people think they would have been brave enough… I don’t know if I would have been one of those people.

Jessie May @jessiemayontheweb.bsky.social · 4d

Yes, indeed. 😢

Jessie May @jessiemayontheweb.bsky.social · 4d

So true. People say, “What you’re doing now is what you’d be doing in 1930s Germany.”

But the reality is, a lot of people DID stand up. They were imprisoned, tortured, and some were killed. If that happened to enough of your neighbors, you might decide it was time to lay low. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Roger McCarthy @rogermccarthy.bsky.social · 4d

This level of randomness is also from the Nazi playbook - when the aim was to terrorise opponents at home most 1933-4 victims of the concentration camps were released - sometimes after days, more often after weeks or months - as aim was not to kill them but to instill fear in everyone they knew.

Everyone’s talking about food prices these days, from Kara Perez to NPR. I’m joining in today — but I’m not going to share a list of “tips and tricks” to lower your grocery bill because they all boil ...

I've heard it keeps deer away. My mom also has this gross-smelling stuff she sprays on her lilies...

This was posted by the President of the United States—a job once held by Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and FDR.

Meantime, has the price of groceries or housing gone down for your family? How’s your kid’s job search going in the Trump economy?

Just so you know: Even if the IRS shuts down your tax returns and any payments are still due on time. You will face fines, penalties, interest if you’re late. Even if they’re closed.

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens.

They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.
