Working in healthcare means you have ridiculous job security for as long as you want it. But it also means you get to do things like squeegee poop off an elderly dementia patient while she tries to finish yanking the finger off another patient WHILE YOU HAVE A MIGRAINE.

@Utterly_Jean @HippyMomPhD @educatedandfree And now libraries are funded with taxpayer money, so it would really make sense for each library to carry books that the people who funded it want to read. It's okay for libraries to have Shakespeare AND Dungeon Crawler Carl.

@ClassicalEduc @HippyMomPhD @educatedandfree Libraries started out as private collections. There aren't any rules to what kind of books they have to have. Librarians are the ones who decided that they need to carry diverse books instead of good books

PRO TIP: Let your kids pick books from a curated selection of exceptional literature Libraries used to do this for you... but they aren't what they used to be My kids picked books from @educatedandfree 's list (link below) Watership Down, The Incredible Journey, All Creatures Great & Small, National Velvet - all headed our way There are truly incredible books out there! Let your kids read greatness♥️

@AHomelyHouse @valorhelm @TheMiddleborne Dear lord... no one show this to my eight year old.

@valorhelm @TheMiddleborne I did one of those for Christmas - it's still kicking around out there, shooting chickens with craft dowels.

We have been having crossbow battles Arm the youth @TheMiddleborne Have you ever considered making crossbows?

I told all of you not to get your kids vaccinated but you were too scared and too dumb to ask questions. Nice job sheep

The beautiful illustrations of “The Mitten,” the humor of “A Baby Sister for Frances,” the lessons of “Miss Rumphius”—these are some of what our editors loved from The Atlantic’s 65 essential children’s books. Explore the list at the link: theatln.tc/4Tx6SmOP

@SouthsideTilly I can't even comprehend the idea of ignoring my own health and focusing purely on trying to reach some idiotic contradictory aesthetic that appeals to incels on X. I mean wtaf. Thick thighs but a thigh gap. Yeah, I'll get right on that.

Disregard this grifter. We are not focusing on weight or waist to hip ratios anymore. We are focusing on strength, endurance & health. Lift weights, eat well.

@Utterly_Jean @HippyMomPhD @educatedandfree To be fair, libraries are supposed to curate a collection that will appeal to a wide set of people, not make value judgements about which books are "the best."

@HippyMomPhD @educatedandfree It's so obnoxious that you can't rely on them to just curate a decent collection

@hemantmehta It isn't even "alleged." He confessed.

Another Duggar son has been arrested for alleged sexual abuse of a minor. The family once portrayed as the gold standard for conservative Christian values keeps making headlines for crimes against children. At this point, it's not just hypocrisy. It’s a pattern. friendlyatheist.com/p/another-dugg…

@Punctual_C @ZacksJerryRig @usedgov I grew up in a decent, two parent home in the 80s and 90s and even my mom barely read to me. PBS is a huge reason I was able to teach myself to read at four. Literacy starts wherever kids can get it.

@ZacksJerryRig @usedgov Because literacy doesn't start with tv.

Literacy starts at home.

@moonsteaders @ZacksJerryRig @usedgov

@ZacksJerryRig @usedgov PBS is not reading is it.

@usedgov Why did you defund PBS then?

@BowtiedQueenBee Every kid is different, though. My older daughter picked it all up from reading. My younger daughter is getting the same homeschool education but has to be taught spelling and grammar explicitly and with a great deal of repetition.

My kids never had spelling, grammar or sentence structure. They just picked it up from reading and writing. Just do reading of history and science and literature, journal or copy work hand math. Everything else falls into place.

@GovPressOffice I work as a CNA in assisted living, and hospice always comes to us and uses our equipment.

MAGA is touring hospice offices and misleading people about how care actually works. Hospice is delivered at HOME or in facilities. Providers GO TO PATIENTS, not the other way around. Sad Dr. Oz — the guy in charge — doesn’t even understand the programs he oversees. Maybe start with his own agency’s website: cms.gov/medicare/healt…

Governor Newsom BANNED new hospice licenses in 2021 to crack down on STATE FRAUD. Fraud appears rampant in TRUMP’s federal health care system in our state. And what is he doing? Oh … that’s right.

@PressSec So the people whose entire political view is worshipping Trump approve of Trump. Shocking. 🙄

CNN: “MAGA GOP view of Trump, approve is 100%. If you are a member of MAGA in the GOP, you approve of Donald John Trump. 0% say that they disapprove… he’s the 1972 Miami Dolphins.”

@CivicNatalist I taught myself to read at four, I read ~100 books a year, and I'm 42. I'll let you do the math for yourself.

Having zillions of books is just glorified hoarding behavior. Nobody can read more than a couple thousand books lifetime, you're either trying to buy them for archiving or you're a hoarder and the line can get super fuzzy super fast.

@CuriosityonX As someone who takes care of elderly people in an assisted living facility, trust me when I say that you do NOT want to live to be 200.

🚨: Scientists have identified a "superpower" protein in whales that could help humans live up to 200 years.

That time again…

@MrsCMFrancis I work in health care so I've heard it all and then some.

I am still so shocked by the people talk to each other on here. I’ve never even heard the word c*nt or b*tch spoken aloud by a human in my life, let alone heard someone call me or someone else that.

@GravyHound12 @NielsHoven No, the key was buying a house twenty years ago and watching the value skyrocket. That's literally it. If the housing market corrects, poof! No more millionaires.

The middle class-to-millionaire pipeline is real. If you start working young, reduce your expenses to below your revenues and invest the excess capital, you can accumulate a million in assets by the time you turn 40. It’s even easier to do it with a partner. As the capital increases in value you can reduce investments from your income and increase consumption. The key is to be consistent, disciplined and not spend money on liabilities.

Almost 1 in 10 adults in the US are millionaires No other country rewards positive contributions to society so richly

@MatthewKTony @MOE_MADRIDD @dalepartridge Ooh, look at the edge lord. 🙄

@MOE_MADRIDD @dalepartridge Yes.

Your ancestors were 100x more radical than you. They fought off Muslims with swords and placed their bodies on wooden spikes. They crossed oceans to Christianize pagan lands filled with witch doctors and human sacrifice. They were burned at the stake over a different view of communion. They settled land filled with savages who scalped their wives and children. They went to war over a 3% tax on tea. You are not radical for telling women to stop dressing like whores or that Islam should be outlawed. You are not radical for wanting to repeal the 19th Amendment or fighting for the death of feminism. No. In fact, you must become far more intense. Far more righteous. Far more bold. Far more Christlike.
