Making memories in the mundane.
One of the best, unexpected parts of being with my husband has been that he convinces me I'm worth stopping for, every time.
One thing about me is when I’m out and about, I’m always going to be thinking about where I could stop for food or a little treat, but I never do it.
I can't explain all the reasons why, but this tweet made me cry
You stayed classy, San Diego. Thank you to the thousands who demonstrated peacefully today. No arrests, and no incidents. #SanDiegoStrong #OneTeamOneMission
So I'm very sorry to everyone who I scared with the beginning of this tweet 😅💀
I have terrible news. It looks like Cozy Panda has stopped making Mia's deeply beloved teething toy. She's been attached to this thing for two years, and before it fades from memory, I'd love to see if by any small chance anyone has one or two of these laying around.
Pediatric healthcare people: do you really remember (most) kiddos a year later at a checkup? Or is this just a nice thing people say? I would never have the expectation that people remember Mia-- just that they read her chart. But they're so convincing that they remember her!
Okay, creative people. I'm looking for a filmmaker in the ATL area, available this summer for a documentary-style web series featuring kids (8 eps, 4-5 min ea). Simple production--one camera, authentic interviews, natural settings. Must be comfortable working with children.…
“Follow your passion” is generally terrible career advice. The things people enjoy most in life either have little commercial viability (e.g., art) or have too many people competing for too few jobs (e.g., sports management), leading to wage stagnation and limited growth…
Hit me with the harshest reality truth.
If you're at the doctor's office and you're waiting to be seen, I feel like they should have to give you updates every 20 minutes. How many callers are ahead of me in the queue??
Sometimes I type out tweets about Medicaid and medically fragile kiddos and the lies being told, and then I just... don't. Because none of this really moves the needle, right?
Medicaid covers... -40% of births nationwide -50% of kids with special needs -72 million people in total Remember this as Republicans move to gut the program to finance tax cuts that will overwhelmingly go to the richest 1% of Americans. "Party of family values."
Whooooo boy. The special needs mom groups are ✨feral✨ this morning
RFK JR: And these are kids who will never pay taxes, they'll never hold a job, they'll never play baseball, they'll never write a poem. They'll never go out on a date. Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted
I have a question for anyone who's gone through IVF: how many eggs did they retrieve, how many of those fertilized, and then how many made it to blastocyst? It's so hard for me to wrap my head around this.
