@friendzonepod.bsky.social, good kid, mad city was and still is one of my favorite episodes. It shifted my parenting so much. Just like you, one of our kids is not a “good kid” and the other is the family’s idea of a good kid. It allowed me to find the balance in it all and recognize my biases.

Mid year check-ins with @friendzonepod.bsky.social are so good and always right on time. Podcasts like them and @thisistheread.com will always prosper because they are not just niggas with mics and actually love their community. Thank you for genuinely being yall.

Hey @friendzonepod.bsky.social, green card holders can get Real ID. Real ID is more to prove lawful residency and not just citizenship. While the process is still annoying, didn’t want your listeners to think they can’t get it.

Another year, another Georgia Council of Developmental Disabilities Advocacy day at the State Capitol. Today we advocated for a $65 Million investment in NOW & COMP waiver to help the 7,900 people on the waitlist

THE TIME IS NOW
to make an overdue investment in walyers that support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live more
Independent lives in their communities.
WHAT IS A WAIVER?
The New Options Waiver (NOW) and the Comprehensive Supports Waiver
Program (COMP) are vital federal waivers in Georgia, designed to support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) to live more independent lives within their communities,
THERE IS A HIGH BAR TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR NOW/COMP
WAIVERS, AND ONLY A LIMITED NUMBER OF GEORGIANS WITH I/DD QUALIFY.
if an Individual does qualify, they get added to a waltlist.
CURRENTLY,
7,900đ
GEORGIANS ARE ON THE WAITLIST TO RECEIVE A WAIVER
WHAT HAPPENS WHILE PEOPLE ON THE WAITLIST ARE WAITING FOR THEIR WAIVERS?
Family members leave their jobs to support their loved ones with
I/DD
People with /DD are moved into Institutionalized settings (like nursing homes)
Quality of life and health deteriorate,
Increasing the overall cost to the state
This is Nick.
He is on the CO waiver waitlist. f has been living nursing home si he was 39 (he is
47),
Famuy members can teturn to their jobs and people with 1/DD can obtain employment, tog
People with I/DD
can live intepentlently in
thelr own homes
Quality of life and health increase, reducing the
overall cost to the State
This Is Ben.
He received the
NOW walver. He works at Georgia State & is an active disability advocate

"DEHDD estimates that roughly 400 individuals 'roll off' of NOW/COMP waivers annually. This attrition is largely attributed either to mortality or moving out of the state, and the funds are reallocated as waivers to individuals on the waitlist.

Hey, you. Yea, YOU! You doing alright ? Relax that jaw and focus on your breathing for a bit. Breathe in for 4 and breathe out for 8. Now, tell yourself “I am incredible, capable, and can handle anything thrown my way!” I love you. Mean it! 🤎✨🤎✨

Day number 2 of my 6 year old having a fever and the 2 year old does not care. She just wants her sister 😭😭. I’m not mentally prepared for our family of 6 to be sick. So isolation will remain lol.

I don’t like how the cast of #Married2Med treat Quad when Dr. G is present. Yes she was drunk and kinda poking at him. But yall talking bout him being jealous like he didn’t bring a whole ass wife on the show before we even saw her with a new boo. Dr G and his abusive ass shouldn’t even be there. 🙄

None of this feels good. And I’ve been frozen for the last week. But I’m thawing out. Disassociating for a moment is ok. But we can’t disassociate forever. These next 4 years will require constant work and showing up for each other, let’s not drop the ball with taking care of each other. ❤️

White men are dangerous because they are always willing to give other dangerous white folks the benefit of the doubt. They don’t believe shit is on fire until it is literally burning them, and by the time that happens, the rest of us are dead.

I saw @michaelharriot.bsky.social’s Jimmy Carter thread and found it so intriguing that I wanted more. Then I find out about his book and ordered it. Now why has my husband stolen the book and is about 1/3 of the way into it?? Apparently I took too long (18 hours) to begin reading it 😂😂.

Whitewashing the uncomfortable parts of the past doesn't just affect Black stories. For example, you can't fully appreciate how a peanut farmer from Plains, GA became a beloved president unless you know TRUE Black History. The unwhitewashed history of Jimmy Carter: A thread.

Over here taking two weeks to listen to the last two episodes of @friendzonepod.bsky.social cuz they’re on a well-earned break. The recap of the year is always hilarious. It often takes me back to how the episodes made me feel and what changes I made from anything new I learned. Love yall!

My son has finally got the support needed at school and the grades reflect it. He is also a lot less anxious during exam time because he knows the support is there. 🥹🥹. @supernovaparenting.org I will never stop thanking you for tips you’ve shared in navigating this system.
