Oh no. You have to
cat-up and be a good nurse to them. Just snuggle up and watch over them. One of them will keep you fed. One parent at a time. The more rest you give them. The faster they’ll get well. I hope they get well soon. 🙏

SNAP benefits leaving mothers and children and the elderly hungry, immigrants hunted, genocide abroad with our tax dollars. It's wild to me that at a time of such cruelty, more leaders aren't campaigning or fighting with a message of kindness and basic humanity.
