So next part of being properly prepared. Please have at least 2 days of your daily meds and several doses of your rescue meds in your purse, or your car, and definitely in your earthquake kit. Take a pic of your scripts so you have the photo in your phone.
Please someone tell me this isn’t really on the wall in the White House.
This is the BS Trump has on the Wall Of Presidential Portraits at the WhiteHouse. This is the despicable type of BS Trump says about Obama.
He doesn't even use Joe Biden's name. He's called Auto Pen.
What's worse is that he is allowed do do this type of BullSh *t with taxpayer dollars.
Seriously, does a self-indulgent man like this deserve to be the president.
One of the great reasons to take a post secondary class about politics and government is to learn how it works. The Constitution gives the public the right to redress the gov’t. So if it is not working, we get to dismantle it and rebuild it and maybe we should be considering it.
See I get it. But also the way they both suck isn’t comparable right now. Also the answer is to dismantle our government and start over which is the right of the public but I really don’t see anyone working on this so until then…
Love this recap for my Ducks. #pivot
One reason I'm always buying into Dan Lanning is the result from last night. He's always open to adapting and evolving.
I can't explain what happened against Oklahoma State. Credit Cowboys but the game plan was so meh and clearly not what we've seen in the past. It was a bad loss and worst under Lanning.
Two weeks later the offense looks completely different. They clearly made some structural changes and changed the pace. Found easier throws.
The defensive effort is just better. The DL played well last night. They showed up. There's still some things to fix of course but look across the country at teams who lost games and let that one game spiral their season. Not at Oregon. And we could have gone flat after the Moore injury but nope. Go Ducks.
Scary emotional game for my team last night, but also an amazing win that showed where we should be ranked. As a former football mom who had a kiddo go on to play collegiate ball, Dante Moore’s injury is every parent’s worst fear. Just praying he will be ok. 💚💛#Ducks
I’ve been saying this in mental health. We need starting at preschool age to focus on how to regulate emotions, self soothe, problem solve. It can be a shift in curriculum, in addition..it can involve the family unit. Emotional intelligence skills can be taught to parents & kids.
I genuinely think we're sleepwalking into one of the biggest generational divides in modern history, and it starts long before our children ever enter the workforce.
I encourage every parent to spend some time reading what teachers are saying about the children entering their classrooms. Kids who can't sit through a lesson, follow basic instructions, regulate their emotions, hold a pencil, tie their shoes or tolerate being told no. Some kindergarten teachers are reporting children arriving without basic independence skills, including a lot still in diapers.
Meanwhile, we're entering a time in which AI will fundamentally change what it means to be educated, intelligent, and employable… and somehow, our response has been to put more technology in front of children at increasingly younger ages.
I don't think we're talking nearly enough about the consequences. The research on executive function, early childhood development, and excessive screen use should be getting considerably more attention from parents. Not praising Ms Rachel for babysitting your 6 month old…Attention, working memory, cognitive flexibility, and emotional regulation aren't simply nice qualities to have. They're actual foundational abilities that influence how children learn, solve problems, and function independently.. and many of the experiences that help children develop these abilities are purely disappearing from everyday childhood.
Unstructured play. Boredom. Reading. Physical exploration. Real conversations. Working through frustration. Learning how to entertain themselves without someone or something constantly providing stimulation.
We're raising children in an environment where practically every uncomfortable moment can be eliminated with a screen (just go to target and you’ll see at least 3 babies on phones) and every difficult question can increasingly be answered by AI.
But what happens when a child never develops the patience to figure something out independently? When they've spent their early years consuming content engineered to capture their attention but struggle to concentrate on something that doesn't immediately entertain them? When they've never had to develop their own imagination because an algorithm has been entertaining them since infancy? "Brain rot" might be an exaggerated term, but the concerns about attention, compulsive media use and the displacement of important developmental experiences are very very very real.
Not only that..then we send these children to school and expect teachers to somehow reverse years of habits while simultaneously teaching them reading, mathematics and everything else.
I think the next generation's greatest advantage may have surprisingly little to do with how early they learn to use technology.
I think it will come down to which children develop the independence, curiosity, emotional resilience and critical thinking skills necessary to use that technology effectively.
I want my child to understand AI. I want her to build things with it, question it, and take advantage of opportunities that didn't exist when I was growing up.
But I also want her to be able to sit with a difficult problem, read an entire book, entertain herself, have meaningful conversations, disagree respectfully and navigate the world without needing an algorithm to tell her what to do next.
The goal shouldn't be to raise children who can compete with AI. It should be to raise children who have developed enough of their own abilities to do extraordinary things with it….And I increasingly believe that starts with giving them a childhood that allows those abilities to develop in the first place.
So again, exhibit A.
Prison is a place you can go to really sharpen your crime skills. Also perhaps deepen your addiction.
So this investment ensures we solidify the cycle of incarceration in families.
Tennessee ranks dead last when it comes to public school spending, but plans to sink $360 million into prisons for children.

I used to post all the time that no one loves tough on crime as much as organized crime and that is for reasons like this. The best laid plans that don’t address underlying root cause always backfire. War on drugs. Body cams. Flock cameras. AI.
But carry on.

Here is the website that Flock Safety wants censored, among several hundred other websites that do the same thing.

I took apart our earthquake/go bag this week to restock and I make my household take a little quiz about what we can use the contents for.
Their glazed over looks truly brings back childhood memories 😂
I grew up with a dad who was an avid outdoorsman and a libertarian prepper way before it was a thing. He trained his daughters well, so ppl are always asking me what to do. Start with this for gosh sakes! ⬇️ A hand crank one is also good.
Ugh fine.
One of the most effective ways to combat muscle loss is to build and protect the muscle you already have through strength training. Not only will that help you avoid frailty and falls, but it can also keep you moving with ease through your daily activities.

See here is the problem. I’ve seen the changes to Medicaid for 2027. The cuts and changes will impact Republicans as much as any Democrats. Martial law will be in response to universal anger not bipartisan anger.
I see sweet people out there pretending elections will be a way to course correct this disaster and I’m not trying to be rude but did you take history and political science in college?
We can’t talk about if fascism or authoritarianism takes over the US government anymore, it already happened. I’m not sure where you go from here outside of total revolt because I don’t see many ppl in Congress taking aggressive action against it? 🤷♀️
