I specifically decided not to follow political accounts here, and I'm sticking to that. Screenshotting TFG and posting it here is going to force me to unfollow, if not block.

Older fathers are more likely to pass on disease-causing mutations to their children, due to sperm becoming increasingly selfish with age.

Selfish sperm see older fathers pass on more disease-causing mutations

Older men are more likely to pass on disease-causing mutations to their children because of the faster growth of mutant cells in the testes with age

I wish you much luck. I burned through most of my savings trying to survive until I could get SS. And they keep wanting to raise the retirement age but I can tell you no one will hire you once you hit your 60s. Companies complain young ppl don't want to work but won't hire older workers. 🤷‍♀️

I gave up after a year and started drawing SS. I had no choice. When you take SS at 62, you don't as much which is why I have to drive for UberEats now.

Think Drumpf will last long enough in office to give Hag Bondi a pardon? Cause she's gonna need one to avoid prison.

There are people down in the comments who are reporting very similar situations.

The guy in the video he goes through has been looking for a year, said he's sent out 600 resumes and had 7 interviews. ☹️

You might be interested in this. He does recommend LI, but he's an experienced recruiter (I think he worked for Amazon or Google, I forget now)

Issue #4 postponed. Not enough subs to work with to create a full issue! Sadness, but maybe next round 🤞

Toad Shade Zine @toadshadezine.com · 3d

I just finished sending out emails letting everyone know we didn't receive enough submissions to move forward with issue 4. We may try again early next year. Thanks to everyone who sent stories and art!
