WHO says weight loss drugs are ‘new chapter’ in fight against obesity

No one is cancelled by accident. This isn't the 1950s- we're not cancelling people for being gay, using drugs, or for martial infidelity. If you have been cancelled in the 21st century, it is for hate speech and sex crimes. Full stop.

Highly recommend A Wounded Fawn. It’s surreal and beautiful. 😍 I’ve always loved films that play with a character’s perception of reality.

I showed my bf and his friend Possibly in Michigan last night. They got into it, but they were mostly looking at the tv in horror while I cackled.

When I say that locking mothers in the suburbs with small children breaks them? This is what I mean.
It’s why we need universal daycare, paid parental leave for a full year, with gradual return to work schedules.
Babies do best in groups of peers (siblings are not peers). And adults NEED peers!

Grammy’s funeral was today. Her ashes are with my grandpa’s, and they will be spread on their old farm in the spring. It was funny to remember some of Grammy’s quirks. Like her stubbornness and her piles of romance and murder mystery books. ❤️
