@keithdunn Amazing year for the Barkley and for women! #barkleymarathon

The finishers. #BM100

@heymrsbond I can tell you why my kids hate it (both A students). They have to be in classes they have less than zero interest in, have to sit even though their work is done and aren’t allowed to the autonomy take care of biological needs when needed.

@RootofGoodBlog I have almost all GenZ on my team and they’re honestly the best employees I’ve ever had.

We heard this same gripe about millennials a decade ago. It's not true. Right?

@fuckyouiquit @BaldMoneyGuy I talk about my salary to most people who ask. I want them to have negotiating power

Shoulda slid a few “fuck you’s” in there Via /jacq1987

@tarhealer It’s horrific. I only had 4 weeks when I adopted my twins b/c I wasn’t eligible for FMLA. It was the worst time in my entire life.

Officially halfway through maternity leave (6wks). How do women return to work at this point or even earlier??? My body is still healing. Showers are rare, meals eaten cold, sleep not happening. What we do to postpartum women in the US is insane & inhumane.

@IfBooksPod You mean I could have had a race car bed this whole time?! 🤣

Episode 17: The Rules In 1995 a bestselling book proposed a simple dating strategy for women: Lose weight, wear bright colors and become a completely different person for the rest of your life. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

@kaitlancollins Didn’t have “I agree with Chris Christie” on my bingo card but here we are.

Chris Christie on Ron DeSantis's Jan. 6 answer: “'He wasn’t anywhere near Washington'? Did he have a TV? Was he alive that day? Did he see what was going on? I mean, that's one of the most ridiculous answers I've heard in this race so far."

@IfBooksPod Oh dear lord. My mother made me read that. I knew, even at 16 that it was trash. Can’t wait to send ger the episode in revenge! Haha!

Thursday!

@iamlandshark Yup. I took a sabbatical in 2021 and even those i truly considered friend (outside of work) cut off connections.

@amyscottgaley Oh no! Shout from the rooftops about Josh Stein’s Foodgate! Lord. 🙄

Dude, you grew up in Chapel Hill!! I guess maybe those were on menu at Crooks Corner, though, my bad. You could have posted pics of Spankys, Carolina Coffee Shop, Slugs at the Pines, and Timeout. Or Hectors. That would be authentic. You need to check in w your consultant #ncpol

@JoshStein_ Thank you for defending NC women in this unconstitutional legislation

I support women’s reproductive freedoms. After a thorough review of the case in Planned Parenthood v. Stein, I have concluded that many of the provisions in North Carolina’s anti-abortion law are unconstitutional. My office will not defend those parts of the law.

@JoshuaNiday_ @nottherobin @JoshStein_ Duh. Harper vs. Moore

@GinaWright2012 @JoshStein_ They could have. Once republicans got tge super majority there was nothing to stop them doing a referendum. They just know that it would fail. So they railroaded instead.

@SteveOnSpeed True for us and our 2 kids. But people forget that if one parent quits, they’re missing out on 4-5 years of professional and salary gains. I added 15k to my salary and my hubs added 10k during daycare years.

The cost of daycare... I've heard it easily eliminates an entire salary if both parents work. Is this true? Is daycare *that* expensive?

@SketchesbyBoze Uugghh. Right?! As a learning expert this gets me b/c the brain processes and learns info the same if you read it or hear it jeez.

I’m baffled by the argument that audiobooks and graphic novels aren’t “real” books. “oh nooooo, books are too fun now! people who wouldn’t normally read them are reading them!” I like when people enjoy reading. I’m glad they’re having fun.

@nckhui Eileen needs to learn what data means 🙄

Eileen Johanssen tells Wake County school board  that it’s promoting perverse books that are putting students at higher risk of sexual assault & suicide. She reads excerpt from ‘A Court of Thorn and Roses’ about narrator throwing off her nightgown to have sex. #wcpss

@jackjaykelly Remote work has made it so much easier for me to connect IRL with friends and acquaintances. Without a commute I have much more availability.

I'm writing a piece for Forbes about the growing loneliness epidemic. Have you noticed that you have fewer close friends and don't socialize as much as you used to do?

@mmpadellan CNN platforming him but Fox fact checking? I must be in an alternate universe

HOLY SHIT, Bret Baier just fact checked the shit out of trump on Fox News, WTF is happening?????

@brotherjones_ I LOVE how much money Repubs wasted on this race!

District 52!!! THANK YOU to everyone who took time to vote today for sending a clear message to Speaker Cameron Sexton and his extremist Republican supermajority that attacks on democracy will not go unchallenged. Next up: Special General Election on Aug 3rd. Let’s goooo!! 💪🏾🗳️

@Justinjpearson I hope it continues to be an absolute blow out! 🎉

The first wave of votes are in and WE WON!!! We are now officially the Democratic candidate for the General Election in District 86!! #PeoplePower did this!! Let’s keep going!!!
