Husband ordering school photos comes in to tell me there are creepy options for pimple retouching & digital braces or glasses removal! Why not just swap kid images entirely?! Do you even like your kid?! These filters & editing tools are leading to body dysmorphia for everyone using them.

A very interesting situation.
New federal student loan caps could make it harder for future doctors to pay for medical school at a time when the U.S. already faces a physician shortage. If you're in med school or thinking about going to med school, you need to know what has changed. 🧵

Telling y'all-economic indicator of rough times is Spirit Halloween. They rent out empty storefronts. During the Biden admin, there were none nearby. This year they are already setting up & advertising. There will be 5 within 12 miles of me. I LOVE Halloween, but I don't like this economy.

I have been called an alarmist and worse by well meaning people who want to think it will just all be ok. The truth is it doesn't always end up ok and we can't pretend it will.
Donald Trump is targeting Black voters and women to rig this election. We need to stand up, call it out and take action.

My mom missed her doctor's appointment (was there waiting). She's not home, cell is off, but car & all related things are'nt here. Called doc's back-were kind enough to let me know she wasn't checked in at any other facility (such as ER). Waiting at her house for her. Parenting parents isn't easy.

Flu B has been making it's way through my family - all of us who got the flu shot weathered it ok (it's a doozy), and the one who didn't really got hit hard. Stay healthy out there, y'all. Summer sick sucks (too hot to feel so bad).
