I’m in Kosice, Slovakia where I’m pretty sure KPop Demon Hunters hasn’t made the same impact as back home. Maybe why I was able to make 3 song requests to the DJ & dance my heart out with friends to Golden, Soda Pop, & Takedown. I definitely recruited at least 1 Slovakian to the soundtrack fandom.

NEW: The move to funnel $15 million for sexual assault survivors through a GOP-controlled commission is part of a pattern by the state’s Republican-controlled Legislature and judiciary to deprive elected Democrats of resources and powers.

A Political Power Grab Redirected Funds for North Carolina’s Sexual Abuse Survivors. Women in Crisis Paid the Price.
The move, which led to disruptions in services for sexual assault and domestic violence survivors, provides a glimpse of the consequences when a branch of government assumes unprecedented control.

I’m at a kids’ bday party with balloons. My misophonia for the sound they make, that horrid screechy squeak, is causing me to be the weird mom sitting in a corner staring at her phone in an attempt to block out ALL THE NOISE so my anxiety doesn’t escalate into a panic attack.

No amount of time at a “wellness farm” could’ve saved me from postpartum depression or manic depression. I needed, and still need meds, along with regular therapy.
RFK Jr said he wants to send folks who are taking antidepressants and ADHD medications to "wellness farms" in rural America where they will be forced to labor by growing organic food to "cure their addictions."

From the corner of my eye, I saw a friend of mine. My heart said me that no, it’s impossible. It hit me as if I was learning of their passing for the 1st time all over again. That’s how I ended up crying at the gym. Mia, you were truly one in a billion, but your doppelgänger goes to my gym.

Elon Musk’s team is set to delve into the nation’s aviation system, with his 20-year-old staffers utilizing AI to assist the FAA in a rapid overhaul of aviation technology. However, a more practical solution would be to simply hire more workers, as the FAA is severely short-staffed.

At the EPA, employees hired within the past year have been notified that “the agency reserves the right to terminate you immediately,” without justification. Reports suggest that demonstrating loyalty to the current administration’s agenda may improve the chances of retaining employment.

Trump is offering all federal workers a buyout with seven months’ pay to shrink the government—but that’s not the whole story. Reports reveal some employees are being pressured to resign or face termination under the guise of organizational restructuring. In short: take the buyout or be fired.
