No thank you. I’d rather my girl look up to someone who has done something meaningful like Malala Yousafzai or Greta Thunberg. Not a money hungry, billionaire pop star.

Sending 20 BILLION DOLLARS, WITH A B, to another country when our own military families are lining up at food pantries because they don’t have money to buy groceries, is certainly a choice. When will people see this administration just doesn’t care.

I feel you. It’s even more of a helpless feeling being part of the immigrant community. It’s not something I ever thought I’d feel. I don’t know what else to do either. It really feels like a hopeless situation, but I feel like that’s exactly what they want us to feel.

Let’s just call it what it is. Racism. Israel is not viewed as terrorists, because they’re WHITE. White people can’t possibly be terrorists. That’s a term reserved for brown people.

It is absolutely terrifying what is happening in our own country. People being kidnapped in unmarked cars. WITH NO CRIMINAL RECORD. Anybody who sees what is happening and is okay with it, is morally bankrupt. These images and videos are just heartbreaking.

Yeah I have a friend whose parents always asked her when they’d finally have grandkids and now they do, and they are always reluctant to help out . It’s so mind boggling to me

school club 3 times a week. Not only that, but she packs a little after school snack for each of them. They have sleepovers like once a month so my husband and I can go on date nights and they go to every dance recital and baseball game. I guess I just really, really lucked out.

Came across a few TikToks talking about how boomers don’t want to help with grandkids & I honestly don’t understand how that can be. Raising kids does take a village at times. Not wanting to help is wild to me. My mom takes her lunch break to pick my kids up from school and take them to their after

Had the pleasure of trying Afghan food for the first time today. It was so delicious 🤤 . Why is American food the most boring food ?

BrendaG🇦🇷🍉 @brendaleti1987.bsky.social · 5d

I literally said the same thing to my sister this morning. It’s just absolutely wild.

Hey so does anybody here remember the Marcos regime in the Philippines and the timeline of events and think, oh damn.

Federal workers having to take out loans to cover living expenses while our government sits on their asses pointing fingers all day long is just great. So great. If people really think the current administration gives a single, solitary shit about them, they are sorely mistaken.

Whew. Tickets have finally been secured. Can’t wait to surprise my kid 🥰

BrendaG🇦🇷🍉 @brendaleti1987.bsky.social · 7d

So the seller doesn’t have the tickets lol. They offered me replacement tickets, which I accepted and then an hour later they told me those aren’t available either. What a joke 😭. SeatGeek, get it together

Anybody find those cheaper groceries yet? Because mine have only gotten more expensive.

On the bright side, maybe I’ll finally break my plateau and lose more weight.

That’s what I thought 😑

BrendaG🇦🇷🍉 @brendaleti1987.bsky.social · 7d

At what point should I worry about my tickets still not being transferred to me from seatgeek for a show tomorrow?

BrendaG🇦🇷🍉 @brendaleti1987.bsky.social · 7d

Lol yeah I don’t know. My initial reaction was all emotion though and I probably should have thought it out before posting but it’s a sensitive and controversial topic and I get that. I didn’t think you were particularly snarky though.

BrendaG🇦🇷🍉 @brendaleti1987.bsky.social · 7d

I am nice though. I’m not perfect. Feeling strongly about a particular topic, and then acknowledging that my reaction was harsh, is actually like a mature thing to do. Idk what else you guys want from me lol.
