Wowowow. Is Megyn Kelly seriously for real? What year is it? Did I just travel back in time a few hundred years?

The Lanterns season finale happened on Sunday and I am so sad- only because I want more! If you haven’t seen it, I recommend it highly. All the characters are interesting, the plot is exciting, the settings are great. A+ #dc #hbo

#8 Please just make it stop. Hand and feet pain is constant and it is been undertreated for years. Doctors are too scared now to prescribe the opioids that use to make it possible for me to live normally. I don’t even care about my medical conditions shortening my life. It will shorten my suffering.

Random question, do you have a favorite South Park episode? The goth vibes remind me of my favorite, Ungroundable. I was in the goth group in high school - in Scottsdale, so I just died when they send the vampire kid there!

Great chess quote! Pins are my favorite chess tactic since they can be on the board the entire game; making a piece powerless. #chess

#HealingHearts Abuse survivors believe they've done something to deserve the treatment they received. That's a lie they were likely told repeatedly. Please remember: "Your story isn't shameful. Their behavior is." #CSASurvivor #Pinks 💛💚💜
You're not "trauma dumping"  when you tell someone what you survived. You're TRUTH DUMPING after years of carrying their secrets to protect their reputation. Your story isn't shameful. Their behavior is.

Years ago I taught teens how to write resumes and today I discovered my own resume was score 50% match for a job which I am overqualified by an AI job site. So I guess I need to learn how to write resumes for AI instead of employers now.

@vōx - The wellness industry loves the idea that every illness has a hidden lesson.

But sometimes the lesson is simply that human bodies are fragile

and society is cruel to people when they become inconvenient.
