It’s not that kids are too young to understand things. It’s that adults are too lazy to find age appropriate ways to explain concepts to kids. It’s that too many adults are too uneducated to be able to educate kids. It’s that too many adults underestimate the brilliance of kids.

Under 5 parents, I’m thinking about you a lot. It’s so hard to not know when your vaccine is coming. You are being so resilient. I wish you didn’t have to be. You are not forgotten.

plz stop calling them vaccine passports and just call it immunization records because we have ALWAYS had those and ALWAYS had to show them for jobs and school.

Elders &Board members at my field Ed church called me “peaches” instead of my name bc I’m from Georgia. Had no idea what to do til they said it in front of the wrong (or right) older female congregant. She shut them down right there. Felt so saved but it still didn’t stop fully.

Feeling like there is zero guidance for those of us who are vaccinated but have unvaccinated children.

If your "why is the birthrate decreasing" story doesn't talk about student debt, untenable childcare and healthcare costs, housing costs, patriarchy & the enduring unequal distribution of labor in the home it is not a good "why is the birthrate decreasing" story

Someone wrote to me today saying they were disappointed that a prayer I recorded for one of our congregations after the Chauvin verdict didn’t mention forgiveness or reconciliation. They asked “Why must it be ‘us’ or ‘them’?”

We asked people from around the world to compare their health care system with the American system. “Skin to skin after a C-section is $39,” says a woman in Japan, reading from a U.S. medical bill. “You need to pay money to hold a baby?” nyti.ms/3sUd7nL

This is why we aren’t signing up yet. While it seems like everyone around us is getting vaccinated, it is a fallacy of perception and we won’t cut in line.
Meanwhile, only 5% of inoculations have gone to Black folk nationwide and that is not all due to vaccine hesitancy.

Some days I really resonate with Miss Hannigan as I grumble through the house picking up a million little socks... #annie #babysockseverywhere
Started to cry as we watched VP Harris and I told the toddler that VP Harris is the Second Big Boss. Toddler doesn’t get it yet, but her future is brighter. #Election2020

Anyone whose name is in the short list for #RGB’s seat shouldn’t get a vote or an opinion about when we appoint and confirm the new Justice. I’m looking at you @SenTedCruz and @TomCottonAR #SupremeCourt #justice

Remember when Leslie Knope would run out of the building to talk about her campaign because it was illegal to do it at her government job, on government property? #ParksAndRec #ethics #Election2020

I used to find it hard to believe that Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss, for a few pieces of silver... but I feel like I am watching it happen almost every day in America as Christians put everything on the line for Trump.

In the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus clearly wants his followers to be more concerned with God’s kingdom coming on earth as it is in heaven than with us getting out of earth into heaven. The implications are bottomless.

Michael Bloomberg getting in the race is proof-positive the wealth class is legitimately terrified of Elizabeth Warren, so let’s maybe stop talking about how she could never accomplish her plans. They certainly think she’s capable.
