The most beautiful and heartbreaking piece I have read recently

This is about controlling women and their bodies. Disgusting and abusive. Shame on you, Ohio.

Starting Point applauds President Biden’s call for Congress to invest $16 billion in child care stabilization grants over the next year. Visit our website to learn more about how YOU can urge Congress to support this increased investment: starting-point.org/nov23advocacy/
More details, updates, and sneak peeks will be shared throughout the fall and winter. Check out more key updates here: starting-point.org/weremoving/
Ohio ranks dead last nationally for subsidizing child care up to age 5 cleveland.com/data/2023/07/o… via @ZackMS @clevelanddotcom
I may never recover from the stress of watching the “Seven Fishes” episode of @TheBearFX
Me too!
Supreme Court rules 6-3 that they will continue to kick you in the shins if you aren’t a White, heterosexual, cisgender male from a long legacy of the same that can use your trust fund to pay for the college you were accepted to because your family name is on a building.
We are excited to announce this year's community forum! Save the date and stay tuned for more information!
If you read anything today, read this. As someone the same age as the author who lived in a city environment until I was 14 and then moved to rural Ohio, this is so familiar. Choosing to live in an inner ring suburb as an adult hoping my kids build a diverse friend group.

This Mother’s Day let’s commit to fighting for things moms deserve: paid parental leave, affordable and quality child care, reproductive rights, freedom from the fear that their children will be killed by gun violence, and support and care from their communities.
Seeing @lizzo last night felt like an act of radical self love. What an amazing entertainer with an unparalleled message. So lucky to have seen her with two incredible women and friends!
So excited to share this message from @MayorBibb in honor of Provider Appreciation Day!

Cried while reading this, thinking of similar stories of girls from my rural Ohio high school; and actually girls from my middle school years in urban/suburban Massachusetts.

This is great news for the people educating our youngest children in Cuyahoga County (and beyond)!

105 Followers 8 FollowingI had never really watched Fraiser and in my attempt to watch more "great TV," I started watching. Fraiser rules. It's funny, specific, written tight as a drum. The humor isn't mean to people who are different and it's serving FARCE, honey.
Hey what's this obsession millennials have with "Frasier" about? Is it that you were a kid and your parents were watching it so there's nostalgia about being in the room while a show you weren't really into was on and also Kelsey Grammer is kind of a dork? Help me out here.
Today is Volunteer Appreciation Day. Volunteers have always been and continue to be crucial to supporting @clevelandrcc's mission to end sexual violence. Thank you to all Cleveland Rape Crisis Center volunteers, past and present.
Last Friday, April 12, @LkwdHarding Pride Club created a chain of support and positivity in support of a national day to a Rise Up For LGBTQ+ youth, including Harding students. The chain was a way to signal to every student that they are loved, safe and supported.
We have a shortage of both mental health workers & day care access here. This afternoon @CuyahogaCounty & @CityofCleveland met with the Workforce Investment Board to address mental health workforce development & with @StartingPointOH to address childcare capacity. TY Partners!

Friday night with three daughters eating Mitchell’s ice cream and watching the women’s final four, happening a few miles down the road. Life is good.
This wonderful person is discovering “Rumors” and writing about it in real time while margarita drunk and it’s the purest thing.
Two margaritas deep, I heard a song playing called you can go your own way, and I was like wow they are really singing their ass off. Looked it up it’s two band members breaking up I am in TEARS! YOU CAN GO YOUR OWN WAY 😭😭 watched the live performance. he can’t even look at her
Good: Last week I attended my first meeting as a board member of @CommunitySols. 👏 Better: 🙌 We unanimously endorsed Cuyahoga County's HHS levy, which will be on the ballot in March. 🙌 I'll be voting for it, and I hope you do, too. voteforhhs.org
@KarinaKanepe I want it for all of us. :) My mother and my daughter both deserve better than gaslighting and "it's normal for women to suffer" in medical settings. Watching my mother (a powerful woman in every way) become invisible has been infuriating.
It's our 6th wedding anniversary so I got my wife an iron picture frame for a family photo. And Joe Biden gave her a letter saying she finished her 10 yrs of Public Service Loan Forgiveness and that her federal student loan debt is now cancelled. I have been one upped.

Happy New Year, all you strollers, trollers, and rock n rollers.
I’m a (ahem!) mature woman— & I have no biological or adopted children or grandchildren — but I want everyone to know that I’d LOVE my taxes to feed each & every child 2 meals a day, year round, preschool through 12th grade, regardless of their family’s financial status.
I want everyone to know, I’m an old woman with no grandkids near and I’d love my tax dollars to feed every child in the US, regardless of need, 2 meals/day, every day of the year! #Regardless
“Rich kids will eat for free too” is a good thing. A) it reduces stigma for the kids who need the program. B) there are very few rich kids. Instead there are rich parents and not all of those are loving & attentive as they should be. C) all kids should eat
let me clarify a point. i want my tax dollars to feed every single kid in school from preschool through 12th grade. two meals a day. regardless of need. REGARDLESS OF NEED.
i don't have kids and i'm never going to have kids but i'm extremely happy to feed them with my tax money
You can clearly see how happy I am to welcome @ActSecJulieSu to Cleveland for the first time and to share with her all that @MayorBibb’s administration has accomplished for workers. (And with my dear friend and future CLE boomerang Katelyn Walker-Mooney)
Sometimes the best chemistry is from a gay man and his favorite co-star
More memory lane, in 2 weeks I retire from @CommunitySols . One of the best parts of my work over these 40+ years has been working w/ reporters. Clevelanders may remember the Mary Strassmeyer column Mary Mary; in 1991 I thought I had arrived when I made her column.
