My heart keeps screaming, “It doesn’t have to be this way!” This Isn’t some kind of natural disaster we have no control over. People are choosing this. Heartbreaking.
Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness.
Love this one! Great for Bake Off fans!
AAP learned this week that seven grants to AAP under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services are being terminated. The sudden withdrawal of these funds will directly impact and potentially harm infants, children, youth, and their families.

Yup. And unlike most American women I work for a VERY breastfeeding-friendly organization. And it was still incredibly difficult.

(yesterday) already died. (yesterday) is dying. (yesterday) will die again. there is no future in (yesterday). the agents in our neighborhoods hide their faces because they are losing. because they lost. when we win, there will be whistles from the gulls circling Lake Michigan. let them sing it: Chicago is a city of (today) & (tomorrow). Chicago is the future.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

My first retail job! And that year we played the same Christmas CD from October-February because corporate forgot to send us a new one. Thought I’d lose my mind!
We did add a very small amount of chicken broth to one of our senior dog’s water. Like just enough that the smell got his attention. He drank a lot more that way. Hope he’s feeling better soon!

About this Florida vaccine story:
When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough.
We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated.
“Oh, they’d have died.”
Today, Governor DeSantis shared his plans to end vaccine requirements in the state of Florida. We are concerned that today's announcement will put children in Florida public schools at higher risk for getting sick and have ripple effects across their community.
