People are lonely "since the pandemic" because we've seen how little we actually care for and about each other.

To celebrate making our last daycare/PreK payment (not including future summers) today… I calculated how much my family has spent on childcare for our two kids up to kindergarten. We sent them to mid-cost centers in Denver & Mpls (think: YMCA), nothing fancy: $197,680. 1/3

The Minnesota State Legislature is scheduled to adjourn on May 20. There is still time for action to happen. Our teachers and students are tired of hearing that there isn’t enough money in the budget to support them. Budgets are moral documents so priorities need to shift.

Twitter leftists who insist covid is a bourgeois hangup: 45% of ppl who earn <$25k have long covid, vs 15% of those who earn >$200k The struggle for infection control is part of the class struggle, and ignoring covid is participating in the mass disabling of the working class

Black women make up less than 3% of all doctors. The ones in the field, save lives, ESPECIALLY those of other Black women. So it makes sense, if we care about Black lives, to employ and protect methods that ensure more Black doctors. If. We. Care. About. Black. Lives.

"CDC says only vulnerable people have to wear a mask now." "If you've had Covid, the CDC is talking about you. You're vulnerable people now." This is excellent messaging tiktok.com/t/ZTREKTeYa/?t…

My kids are arguing over walkie talkies 🤣🤣 “The way you are talking to me isn’t very nice. Over.” “Well I’m never playing with you again. Over.”

My first grader is in a class of 25. Even being reminded of the possibility that, statistically, one family will have to say goodbye to their child makes me weep.

Even our most enthusiastic, prompt, and generous snow blowing neighbor didn’t clear his driveway. Not even with a quick shovel. This is officially *enough* snow.

It is 0* and dusk, and I just found a lost kid. Her school bus let her off at the wrong stop a mile from home; she was walking west and needed to be going north. She is home safe. Hug your kids.
