A library is a miracle. A place where you can learn just about anything, for free. A place where your mind can come alive.

No.
This is a 9 week old baby.
That is an embryo. It isn’t smiling, it doesn’t even have lips. A born baby can’t smile on purpose until weeks later. We have over 100,000 children in the foster system that need families but you go ahead and fight for this embryo instead.

A great kiddo. He’s different, we all knew that, but my son gets really angry if anyone says anything about his disabilities. He likes his friend the way he is.
The more I see kids like yours, the more I believe the future is looking bright. The kids are all right. (Fin)

My son is at a new school this year & made a small group of friends pretty well. In Oct he asked if a friend could come w/ us to Steamboat & we said sure! He brought his new friend & it was a great 3 days. When we got home to drop him off, his mom and dad started crying (1)
@PettyLupone
Goddamn I miss him. I miss them. The whole amazing family. I miss the way they treat each other and those around them, and how that affected how those around them treated everyone else. I just miss them all, so much.

It was midnight when we were told. I was in surgery by 6 am. I had Burkitts Lymphoma- the fastest growing human tumor. It doubles in size every size every 6-8 hours. If it had taken 1 more day I’d have been past where it was treatable and dead by the end of the week. (4)

Be glad that she knew she had the choice and that her life was in a place that she was able to raise me. If she had been in an abusive relationship, or unable to provide for even herself... what kind of life would that be? I am glad she had the choice. This isn’t hard...

Al-Jazeera became one of my husband’s clients 10-12 years ago and the day after his first time spending time there, working w/ them, & watching them report, he came home & added it to our news watching cycle. It’s been one of the best moves he’s made for us.

You see- his friend is autistic ocd no polar. Last year he missed a whole year because he was suicidal and spent the year in a rehab type program bec of it. His mom said he has never had a friend, let alone one that he could go places with. It broke my heart bec he’s such (2)
@fancytomboy
I could not longer go to the bathroom and I was screaming in pain. We spent the day in the hospital where they said I was pregnant and only did an ultrasound to prove I was pregnant and lying. Instead they discovered I had cancer. The tumor had crimped off my bladder (3)
@QueerlyAutistic
We expect kids, from age 5-18, to sit in a chair, quietly, and give their entire attention to a speaker / teacher, for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 8 months of the year. Something most adults can’t, and wouldn’t, do. It’s insanity.

Oh man... I sent this to my dad who is a geologist/geophysicist & he went nuts. It’s a really cool find. If you have any hydrochloric acid you can test the white to make sure but he says it’s a volcanic rock like basalt with a calcium injection into the cracks. (1)

Correct mom response to the boy mom: huh.,. Well, she’s her own person now so I wouldn’t begin to know why she isn’t responding but whatever it is, it’s her decision and we are going to respect that.

At 14 I started having intense abdominal pain the week of mother day 1994. Monday was just sore… as the week progressed it got worse and worse. My Dr told me I had a urinary tract infection. Took meds. Got worse. Went back this time they said it was a bladder infection. (1)
@veruka2
Thank you for this. My son is only a 6th grader but I completely understand this. I had to email the teachers to tell them life is not ok in our house & he’s crying a lot, sleeping in my room bec he is scared, unable to focus - most of his teachers wrote back (1)
@fancytomboy
By Friday I’d been diagnosed with a ITI, bladder infection, and an STD even though I’d never has sex or even kissed anyone. The Dr didn’t believe me. I was also having night fevers & vomiting. Saturday I played an entire soccer competition in pain. When I woke up Sunday (2)

over the age of ~70 shouldn’t be allowed to remain in Congress. You shouldn’t be making/passing laws that you no longer have any skin in the game- like, you don’t need $, you don’t need to worry @ climate cuz you’re out soon… stop making decisions for us U don’t have to live w/.
@redditships
My husband & son now go to the family events w/out me. Never once has he made me feel bad for it. They, OTOH, stopped inviting him bec they dislike that I don’t come & feel I’m a bad wife bec of it. He let them go; said my life was more important. He’s amazing. Dude-Leave her.(2)

Thank you. I’m certainly not perfect but I’m trying my best. He & his friends are currently writing a new Star Wars movie together. Along w/ writing it, they are making their own costumes so they can act in it. I’m so blessed bec middle school can be so hard but he found his ppl.
@SteamLaundry
But I spent most of it isolated and in pain. All because of a group of parents at my sisters school had a “chicken pox party” for their children and then exposed the class, which included my sister, and then exposed me. It would have killed me if it had the chance.
#vaccinate
@Karnythia
This same thing happened to me when I was 14 only it was cancer. The tumor was the size of a basketball. It was Burkitts Lymphoma, the fastest growing human tumor. Drs don’t listen to girls and women in pain - esp. abdominal pain.
@veruka2
That they understood and he should do what he can when he can, but no late or missing grades would go into the grade book. Then there is his math teacher who responded that doing the work would help him function better so, no excuses(he has a 67% now in math) (2)
@veruka2
We need more teachers like you in every part of our education experience- from littles to grad, bec life is especially hard & traumatic right now and pretending it isn’t helps no one. Thank you for all you do. (4)
@axlsgirl13
Mine walked out of class when (as 5th graders) his teacher decided to show “The Passion” (which is bloody as is and not appropriate for 11 year olds). He was pissed that there were no people of color & told the teacher that the Mesopotamian river valley would at LEAST be olive 😂

Who said it’s not biased? Every news source is manned by humans who are imperfect- & biased by nature… it’s a matter of getting your news from multiple sources, not just one, that gives a more rounded picture for us to look at and better informed decisions from.
@ADHDelaide
Chronic pain patients are actively shamed, scared, and discouraged from taking meds that make our lives livable. We’re also seen as criminals and seekers if we need help. The govt is literally making it near impossible to get adequate pain treatment.
@SteamLaundry
I couldn’t agree with this more. When I was 14 we did my make-a-wish to Hawaii. My little sister got the chicken pox while we were there and so I spent my make-a-wish in a small Hawaiian hospital quarantine room getting painful injections to protect me. When I was released(1)
@ask_aubry
My dad did similar. I had severe PPD and spent weeks on the mental health floor. When I was released,he bought a 1970 Barracuda -E body. He had me out there, teaching me everything-to weld. Working on that car w/ him every single day. He didn’t know how to help me so he did this.
@redditships
I am super allergic to cats and my husband’s family loves them. The one and only time I’ve been to their house in the 18yrs we’ve been married, I took a massive Benadryl dose ahead of time. I still ended up in the hospital for 3 days recovering from the reaction. (1)
@Imposter_Edits
That was the very first thing I saw and said when this popped up- literally my husband called me over to see the article and I said “blood honor tat, another Nazi cop”. They knew way before this photo bec some of them are members w/ this Nazi. Also hard to miss when working out…
@veruka2
Math was his favorite subject until now. And his PE teacher is failing him for not going running daily. He can’t run. His tendons in his ankles are 2 inches too short due to growth spurts and running leaves him in tears. (3)

Naw.. I just lost touch. We moved when I was in the 7th grade and I started chemotherapy. I do miss them and often wonder how they are doing today. ❤️
When I was 14 I was diagnosed with Burkitts Lymphoma. The chemo that worked successfully to save my life left me permanently neutropenic& with severe perm heart damage. Have grown 4 sec types of tumors & on chemo most of my life. The flu will kill me.

I thought you people loved the stand your ground laws wherein if you feel threatened in your home you can shoot? But not if it’s a black man... I get it. Racism is big amongst your crowd. The police didn’t announce who they were, all they knew was someone was breaking in. (1)
@SteamLaundry
my sister and I had to wear masks the entire rest of the trip. Everyone that came in contact with me also he to wear a mask since we didn’t know what they had been exposed too and my immune system couldn’t take any more accidental exposures. This was supposed to be my “wish”(2)
Just so we’re clear- this is a Duggar admitting to a medical procedure she & her family have worked to make illegal in many states & out of reach for many women. This was an abortion. A D/C is an abortion.

My freshman year i was diagnosed with Burkitts Lymphoma, the faster growing human cancer. I live at the hospital for 6mo & had a home-bound tutor. My English teacher told us she refused to supply the work & would fail me if I didn’t show up because she can’t pass me not in class

Gonna go out on a limb and say Christians are bad people. At this point you can’t even call them fake Christians because they are so pervasive in the whole. How many Christians donated to the families of the people he killed?

My grandpa danced for as long as he could. He spent so much time trying to keep our culture alive and educate others about us. He was my person. I miss him terribly.
White dudes have been carrying guns into state buildings, restaurants, everywhere, threatening civil war if the govt dsn’t let them get their haircut. But when POC rally&protest against police brutality, they are condemned for/told violence isn’t a solution.

I caught my husband on a business call the other day and he started with “I’m _____ ______ and it’s pronounced _______” and they were like “ok!” But I was horrified bec if I, as a woman, ever did that it would be a HUGE no and I’d probably get a reprimand in my file for it.

I’m afraid to even give my pain a number, I don’t want her taking things away/thinking I lie. I actually couldn’t tell you the last time mine even had a conversation with me without asking judgment questions “why aren’t your migraines under better control?” like it’s my fault.

The fact that the cops who gave 14 yr old Konerak Sinthasomphone back to Jeffrey Dahmer, were quietly rehired & given back pay, only to continue & retire with HONORS in 2017 will NEVER be ok. Ask me why there’s no such thing as a good cop! This is the answer.
