No voting this round for me as an expat. 😭

Yeah, no. We can do better then a "deal" with Trump. I think the world should ostracize Trump and his administration. Just put them on the sidelines and build other alliances.

I never want to go back to a US style of "healthcare". I much prefer the AUS system!

Time to cancel Trump and his administration. Don't meet with them. Don't talk to them. Make them social outcasts. The US Government is inept. Don't pander to them like they matter anymore.

I tell my kids that religions are fairytales for grownups.

I was warmer in my home in winter, in Ohio, in the 1980's, then I've ever been in my home in QLD. Can't believe AUS is still using single pane windows.

Want to go further in a game? Learn to read the subtitles. Want to make your own music? Borrow and buy instruments and download music making apps. It's not a fight to get them to learn, we can accommodate their ND needs and they don't have to deal with unnecessary bs.

Homeschooling is gaining in popularity every year. Personally, we unschool our kids, we follow their interests and their learning is based on what they want/need to learn to further their interests.

I've had family tell me, "You don't know what's going on. You don't even live here.". As if I don't have access to news or social media. I have other family members that had no idea the No Kings protests happened. I'm better informed as a US expat. The world is watching the US and is horrified.

It's about time! Food workers have so much power and are completely underestimated.

The only one I agree with is #7, and that's only because the school system is not made for neurodivergent people. I'd rather spare my kids the trauma and let them actually learn things when they're developmentally ready.

This! Where has it gone? Who has it now? The missing Uranium isn't being talked about enough.

You're not still boycotting Amazon? Surely you could find another source of glitter.

Sadly a lot of people don't understand the distinction.

Legend. Wiser then many. Expect great things from her.
