I like words. I don’t like what’s happening to caregivers. Solutions needed NOW. I write the newsletter Caregiving Crisis. Tweets = personal opinion.

Normalize pregnancy testing. COVID testing is normalized, Eve Rodsky points out, so why can’t we normalize pregnancy testing? Frequent testing means people can access abortion pills in time. (The pills work up to 12 weeks pregnant.) thanks for the shout out @emfred
Is it a vacation or a trip? Caught on voice to text, proof that this is indeed a trip. #whendoescampstartagain #parentingproblems #travelingwhileparenting

Our founder @leslieforde was honored to be interviewed by @emfred. With a growing number of companies offering support, employees don’t have to put up with the “it's my way or the highway mentality” from leadership anymore. Click to read the newsletter: tinyurl.com/49ctupmz

Without the #childcare #eldercare #paidleave & #maternalhealth policies in #BuildBackBetter, women - who decided the 2020 election for Joe Biden and congressional Dems - will lose. Roads & bridges don't address fundamentals of keeping women healthy, safe, secure & employed.
