@FedExHelp where’s my package? Overnight delivery of an iPhone, guaranteed to be here Tuesday, I’ve called repeatedly and you still don’t know where it is?!? Starting to think you might have a problem with packages being stolen by drivers…

Today I was granted access to speak with incarcerated firefighters. They told me: - they hadn’t showered in 5 days - they were not provided regularly meals - they were working 24 hours in a row - they feel under appreciated and underpaid

@Substr8Monopoly @SpiritedSparr0w It’s a form of immortality. I’m not that bothered by aging or my eventual death because my children (and hopefully their children) will live long after I have gone. To have children and raise them to be good people is the most important contribution most of us can make.

@youallwrong @kjgillenwater @SpiritedSparr0w I had my first at 29 and my last at 42–I won’t be an empty nester till I’m 60 and hopefully a grandma soon after that. I adore my kids and raising them is the best part of my life, so I drew it out as long as I could. I also liked a wide spacing between my 3 so works for me.

@DressingBird @kjgillenwater @SpiritedSparr0w I don’t know a single one who regrets having kids. We must run in very different circles. I think regretting your kids is quite unusual.

@AndersMadrid @misha_saul Having more kids helps your odds too. I have 3, chances are at least one will want to reproduce. I’ll love them just as much either way, but I hope for their sake, and mine, that they do. Kids are awesome.

@drgurner @misha_saul Yes, but having kids is the most profoundly fulfilling thing I’ve ever done. People can do what they want obviously, and yeah there are some who shouldn’t have children, but as a general rule I think people who don’t miss out on a huge part of human experience.

@presbyrista @DogginTrump I don’t know where you’re buying your avocados, but they’re $1.50-$2.00 where I am.

@jen_galvinized @CokerMD Same. In GA so less of a battleground but I’m a completely reliable voter and haven’t been called or canvassed though I know there’s a lot of it going on. Sophisticated turn out operation, not wasting time where they don’t need to.

@lebell79 @TheMuppetPastor Birth control can still fail even when you’re married and you can easily end up with an “oops”. Has happened to many of my married friends. Less disastrous than an “oops” when single though.

@anonynaut To the contrary, I think NOT dating someone for at least 2 years before engagement is risky because you don’t really know them that well. You’re still in the infatuation stage for the first year or so; it takes time to see the real person, warts and all.

@MeghanEMurphy If you knew your teacher was a “Mrs.” back in the 90’s, then you knew she was straight and married to a man. That was most of my teachers. Only a few Miss, Ms. or Mr.

@AmenCornerBoy @clhubes She’s like 25…she’s hardly missed her chance. But agree that serial hook-ups and dating are meaningless for many people who long for a relationship and a family.

@clhubes I have 3 kids and I can barely manage to make dinner and do dishes with them underfoot much less run a farm. My job as a doctor is easier than taking care of 3 kids, especially if close in age. I absolutely love my kids and they’re the best part of my life but it’s a ton of work!

@danpfeiffer I’m taking my daughters AND my son to (hopefully) see democracy in action and see us elect the first female president! GA Democrat here.

@anothercohen Jewish in Georgia, voting Harris/Walz and so is about 75% of our congregation I’d estimate. Your friend group is an outlier.

@drvolts Agree with you. From what I see being around these people, their argument appears to be 1)Kamala is worse, because abortion and 2)God can use an “imperfect vessel” to do good things. We are arguing completely different lines of reasoning in completely different moral universes.

@wil_da_beast630 Met my husband in college, married at 22. Three kids and 20 years later, still in love. It’s a good way of doing things…not the only way, but a good way. Most women have no problem getting pregnant in early 30’s though…by late 30’s can be an issue.
