🚨Dept. of Education proposes to exclude public health degrees from the “professional degree” category.

That means new public health experts could lose access to key higher ed resources, like loan limits & reimbursement.

A bold strategy to let infectious diseases win! 🦠

I wish they would’ve talked to men on this side. We are feeling all of this. It sucks. After all the yahhh I felt, it can quickly be knocked back down 💔 it’s hard on everyone.

Hi Friends and #uglydogs family- I’m so sorry to push this again, because I know times are tough for all, but there were complications with Moneypenny’s surgery and we could really use funds to pay for continued treatment. Bella also has surgery scheduled for 11/18. gofund.me/0af266757

Most of us don't donate to everything, because we can't. RT is a contribution, as we have different followers. #uglydogs love to support their own. Could you give us links to places where you buy groceries, so we can send gift cards? I think that goes for other #uglydogs that rely on SNAP, too.

I've mentioned this before but it bears repeating. Don't leave FSA funds on the table at the end of the year. LOTS of places like homeless shelters etc... would love donations of FSA eligible items. For the past 2 years, I've used left over funds to shop here: fsastore.com - then donate the items.

This was one of the most gut wrenching things to read. 💔
Due to Tennessee’s abortion ban, Mayron Hollis was forced to continue a pregnancy that threatened her life. An emergency delivery left her without a uterus and her baby with medical issues.

This was their first year in a post-Roe state (pub. Feb. 2024):
She Was Denied an Abortion After Roe Fell. This Is a Year in Her Family’s Life.
Tennessee law prohibits women from having abortions in nearly all circumstances. But once the babies are here, the state provides little help. We followed one family as they struggled to make it.
