I’m already disappointed in myself for the choice I’m about to make here instead of just DEALING WITH ALL OF THE PHOTOS ALREADY.

More people would vote early if we knew the texts would stop

PayPal is updating their ToS to let themselves give your data to merchants starting in November and they're certainly banking on people not knowing to opt out, SO to opt out before they start: go to Settings > Data & Privacy > Manage shared info > Personalized shopping, and toggle that shit off

2/- Not: “It’s what you wear from ear to ear, and not from head to toe.” -with a randomly placed “that…mat-ters” before the next verse kicks in that I always assumed (at the age of 7) was some sort of old fashioned, throwaway, kind of meaningless expression and never gave it another thought…

So… not the best week to go full speed ahead on the “move back to South Florida” plan, as it turns out.

I have been viciously and personally attacked.

ALSO… It’s not always “just almost impossible,” it IS impossible. Without adecuate care support, a family’s ability to live and function in the world falls apart.

“‘There are so many people in our country who are right in the middle. They take care of their kids and they're taking care of their aging parents, and it's just almost impossible to do it all,’ she said.” (also, it’s not always “parents” and/or “aging”) This would be a game changer. #caregiving

Harris proposes new funds for at-home senior care, aiming at 'sandwich generation'

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris announced a plan to expand healthcare benefits to cover at-home senior care in an interview on ABC's "The View" program on Tuesday, the latest policy proposal in her effort to boost the "care economy" and lower healthcare costs.

Yes to this! I have been the caregiver for both my parents. Starting in my 20s when my mother had cancer. Caregiving while working full time is exhausting. This would be GREAT!

This literally took my breath away. Do you KNOW how big a deal this is? Aging-in-place, at home, is the BEST way to care for a senior with dementia. But can I tell you how much it cost to hire care for my mother at home, even shitty care in a low-cost market (Eastern Iowa)? $14,000 A MONTH.
