What a difference a few months makes. Sienna was on the streets alone suffering after having endless puppies. This is her today waiting on me to hand deliver some of Rocky’s leftover poached chicken. She goes to her new home next month ❤️

Poor Cosmo is dealing with a sudden allergic reaction this afternoon. 😩His diet hasn't changed, so we’re suspecting a bug bite. A quick bath seemed to help soothe the itching, and now he’s resting on his bed while I do a deep clean of all his blankets and bed covers. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #dogsky

I have lived inside the culture of not being believed as a victim of sexual assault. Eric Swalwell should not just drop out of the governor’s race. He should be nowhere near public office. He should fucking resign from Congress. 👇🏼

For many women, the assault is only the beginning. Then comes the burden of being believed.

This fucking guy... 2 of those QB Achilles injuries were Kirk Cousins and Aaron Rodgers - guys that definitely did not get the COVID vaccine. Deshaun Watson did not disclose his vaccination status so that's also probably a no.

NBA

1970-2019: 0.94 Achilles tears/year 
2024-2025: 8 Achilles tendon ruptures

NFL

1971-2021: 5 Achilles tears in QBs
2022-2025: 4 Achilles tears in QBs 

Probably nothing.

As with everything he says, this is wildly uninformed. Formula keeps getting better and saves lives. And modern research indicates that outcomes are roughly the same. There are reasons to breastfeed but your child isn’t suffering if you don’t

All mothers should be tested for hepatitis B during pregnancy. They’re not. Some may be negative & acquire infection later in pregnancy. All positive mothers should receive appropriate treatment. They don’t. It’s almost as if you have no understanding whatsoever of healthcare in the US.
