#caregiving
Caregiving can be incredibly isolating, but gatherings like the National Caregivers Conference in Princeton, NJ, give me hope.

This Family Caregiving Month, it's an honor to meet with fellow caregivers who are doing the work, day in and day out, to support our loved ones and communities. 1/2

Here she is, my C.A.V. OC!
Meet B3W1-BOT 3000!

She is the ultimate robomommy (with just a few screws loose)! Designed for optimum caregiving, she is a nannybot gone rogue. She joined the coalition for Villains and now uses her maternal instincts for evil.

RUTHLESS TRUMP CUT CHILDCARE & CAREGIVING FUNDING WHILE CONGRESS RUBBER-STAMPED IT!

Let's make caring more affordable by VOTING for The Big Beautiful #BlueWaveInOneDay 💙

Taking care of children, parents and loved ones shouldn’t consume a family’s paycheck.

Caregiving is brutal and sacrificial work. This makes it incredibly harder

I am a homeless trans woman who lives in a truck and does unpaid labor running extra caregiving shifts from 8 am to 8pm for my mother, and I gave someone 50 dollars out of a 100 another person sent to me.
I'm living in a spare bedroom, have no job, and I'm passing 20s into the collective tranny jar and none of these fucking people are willing to part with a red nickel.

Things I'll wake up at the ass-crack of dawn for:
🟢Vet appointments (🔴but not my own medical appointments)
🟢Grandparent caregiving
🟢Loved ones who need rides to medical appointments or the airport
🟢Cancelling out the vote of the worst person in my county

When you become the safe space for people at cons and they can become unapologetically themselves and melt into being their true selves... That is the kind of caregiving/mom energy I have always strived for but this con it has happened a few times and it makes me feel so powerful 🥰

It’s National Caregiving Month, a time to celebrate caregivers & speak out about the gaps in policy related to caregiving.

The cost of caregiving is often an immense burden on American families, & gets even more expensive for AANHPI & immigrant families. It doesn’t have to be this way.

In today's lecture, I misquoted the economic value of informal caregiving in the U.S. and corrected myself when a student asked questions. It did not cost me anything.
Picard management tip: When you make a mistake, apologize right away. Embrace humility over defense.

I have gone thru this. MVP had a wonderful plan for caregiving so no one would to have to go thru what I have gone thru.

Folks voted white instead of right 🫩🤬

Spending my extra hour sitting with mom who can’t sleep due to GI issues caused by antibiotics. Is too hard being 92, my heart goes out to her. She never had this trouble before. She’s on probiotics but I’m researching which specifically are most helpful. #caregiving

Democrats have made caregiving one of their major affordability priorities.

Families need help with the cost of living — not more political distractions. BUT WE MUST VOTE!

Every single aspect of #caregiving a bedbound 92 yo makes me grateful I didn’t have children. I made the right choice.

Everyday portrayals of disabled parents challenge the assumption that caregiving is strictly a one-way street.

This is why organising rides, childcare or caregiving for people who are primary caregivers for relatives with support needs in your community is an essential thing that you can do today, besides voting yourself or if you’ve already voted early. We are in this together.
