I’m a turtle mom who likes to do things on turtle time & likes to take a brief pause to appreciate Mother Nature’s beauty. I believe healthcare is a human right & I believe every human being needs to be treated with respect, dignity and compassion. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

What is it with cats and boxes? I think it’s one of life’s mysteries. 🤣Give them a nice kitty bed and they choose a card board box.
Also, please make sure they can’t use all their savings accounts to buy extra food,TP, feminine products and paper towels that SNAP won’t be enough to cover. They seriously need to walk 1 month in poor folks shoes. Difference- they know it ends in 30 days. For the poor, it’s ongoing poverty.
There’s a lot of “hot takes” going around about how we could fix SNAP by only allowing healthy food & introducing stricter work requirements.

Here’s my hot take.

Make those in government rely on SNAP and Medicaid for one month.

Just 30 days.

Then see if they keep blaming the poor.
I totally agree. I work with seniors & I’ve seen the severe cognitive decline after a Covid infection, as well as stroke, new onset heart problems etc. The research just verified what healthcare folks & people with LC have known. The Covid deniers will still blame mom for her kids challenges tho.☹️
Thank you Dr Eastabrook for sharing the link.😊 I knew Covid really messes with the brain‘s function. I didn’t know about children having Neuro developmental issues if their mom had Covid while pregnant. Tho, it makes sense. That virus is nasty and is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
High risk pools mean- people with diabetes,cancer history,high blood pressure, seizures,asthma,COPD,high cholesterol,arthritis, heart issues will have much higher premiums. That list covers at least 50-60 % of Americans. Call it the sucks to be you/accident/age tax. It’s cruel.- a healthcare worker
“High risk pools” are groups where insurance companies put those with preexisting conditions. Don’t let them hide the ball.
And the cat doesn’t seem to mind. Bag pipe cat. 😂
What’s gross is there is no confirmation there’s drugs on the boats being trafficked. It’s hard to believe the admin when so many laws are broken in all kinds of other places and lies spew forth like a geyser. ☹️
You still have a soul( if you believe in a religion). Or, you are a good humanist who values all human life. Thank you ❤️😊
Large corporations lay off tons of workers, horde lots of profits and raise prices for their products. Cars are so unaffordable & crappy with computerized everything now. It’s just nuts. It’s untethered greed sucking down steroids. And they wonder why consumers aren’t buying new cars?! Duh! 🤦‍♀️
General Motors is axing nearly 1,700 jobs across Michigan and Ohio, gutting its EV and battery operations just months after boasting record profits and raising its outlook — a move that perfectly captures the moral bankruptcy of corporate America’s current layoff spree.
I so agree with you. KN95 I use has saved me twice when I was in a patients room before they were dx with Covid 10-12 hrs later. They are not exactly the same as N95. But, they fit better than the blue surgical masks which helps protect the wearer and those to the left & right.- a healthcare worker
It gives a feel of a cold late night in the late fall which is beautiful. I love the back lighting of the moon behind the trees shining through. I’ve always been fascinated by illumination. The photo seems very fit for a few days before Halloween.😊
Thank you❤️.If folks are donating to food pantries, please consider getting gluten free flour/gluten free pasta,vegan items(egg free,dairy free by being vegan),plant based milks in shelf stable cartons or a small gift card to local grocery stores. These things will help people with food allergies❤️.
Hey all. Where I work is a public building, and we have a food pantry. I am buying $100 worth of groceries this week for the pantry and will be doing so regularly until things improve. If you can afford it, please find a pantry near you and give some staples? Thank you! #FoodPantry
Families will be in a bind with a lot less senior care places available. And, those still open will be more insanely expensive. Families caring for a loved one with cognitive decline is very stressful & difficult. If illness or accident doesn’t get you,age eventually will.
I'm curious what plans are being made for when nursing homes and rehabilitation centers start losing Medicaid funding and patients run out of insurance. We're about to see a whole bunch of elders with nowhere to go.
Oh dear bread and beer…😂😂
Congress members are not let in because theres inhumane things going on in those facilities. If they were treating folks properly, they would be proud & show congress they are treating the detainees humanely. The lies & excuses mean they are hiding things that would break multiple laws. Just evil.☹️
There’s “not enough staff” to handle requests to grant Dems access to detention facilities…

Yet always enough staff to keep grabbing people off the streets.

It’s not about money. It’s not about staffing.

They don’t want us to know what happens behind those walls
Another shutdown consequence: Democrats can’t visit ICE detention facilities
Democratic lawmakers had been suing the Trump administration over their previous attempts to visit ICE facilities.

If the minority racist& sexist white dudes( some white guys are are not racist or sexist)succeed in getting POC & women out of jobs, thats about 70-75% of the adult population unable to buy stuff and services. The economy can’t run on that. How many households can run on 1 income? Answer- very few.🤷‍♀️
I’m so sick of the economic issues are more important than social issues people. 44% of the US is non-white, 30% are white women. We’re all included in “DEI,” a group they’re trying to kick out of the job market. It’s hilarious that anyone thinks they can have an economy without us.
Other option is withhold pay of congressional reps who do not report for work. The dems have been there but the gop ones flew the coop for over a month and counting... That might get them to return and sit down with dems and hash out a compromise to open the government. 🤔Tho, gop won’t support it.
That’s hysterical! 😂 You have a furry rooster!
👀 Amazingly caught in the act of a late night time snack. Humans are not alone in the quest.😊
Some things to donate to food pantries regarding food allergies:shelf stable cartoned plant derived milks (soy,coconut,almond,oat) gluten free pasta, gluten free flour, boxes of egg replacer, peanut free butters.Or, gift cards to local grocery stores local pantry/aid agency can distribute.🤔
People with disabilities that require special diets will struggle to feed themselves at food banks.

Those with illnesses that make standing in long lines difficult will struggle to access food banks.

Parents of kids with AFRID, autism or other food issues will struggle.

What can we do to help?
Agreed. It’s coming most definitely. Maybe not all of the gop voters. But half of them will when their pocketbooks are getting battered with high prices. That half plus the independent voters and dems will make a bigger majority all blaming the orange one for trashing the economy and so much more.
