Trikafta, the cystic fibrosis medication that took my son from cirrhosis of the liver a non-functioning pancreas and scarred lungs to 100% healthy functioning of all three was approved in 2019
Please give me an unironic list of things that have gotten better over the last ten years because I’m spiraling.
I’ll start: you can buy an enormous TV from Costco for like $100 bucks now.

Hi, all - I hate asking for help online.
But I don’t have many other options.
We had nearly $4.5k worth of work on our cars and we have almost no money left. We paid rent and I get paid on Thursday but we have almost nothing until then.
Anything helps. Thanks, y’all.

A friend of mine sent me this a while back. I still look at it from time to time when I need encouragement or when I feel like I’m terrible at everything I do.

People on TikTok having coffee with their past selves not even realizing they *are* having coffee with their past selves 👀
Tried talking to someone about how quantum mechanics suggests that God is *in* time because God exists continuously at every point on every timeline. And we do, too - but we don't experience the iterations of us that are in the past or future.
The look they gave suggests they did not understand lol
