Firearms were responsible for 20% of all child/teen deaths in the US for both 2020 and 2021, vs an average of <2% in similarly large & wealthy nations
Even in US *states* with lower child/teen firearm mortality, numbers much higher than in peer countries.

Someone in a Lincoln Park moms FB group said she can’t keep up with the ironing & asked if everyone else just sends their toddlers to daycare in wrinkles and I would like to respond with this picture of my daughter’s drawer.
Like ma’am, I don’t even fold shit.

I really think a lot of people confuse "I'm not doing that b/c I'm setting boundaries" with "I'm not doing that b/c I am inflexible and unwilling to be the slightest bit overstretched to help someone else."

Every other day I wake up and think I should quit my job and work full time for gun reform. Really can't think of anything more important.

My daughter is learning to speak in two languages and I only know one of them. When I don't know what she's saying, I respond "wow, how cool" and now she's pointing at things like trash cans and going "wow, how cool."

Being a parent has convinced me that kids are a truly marginalized group in 🇺🇸. They need adults to survive, but we refuse to guarantee them the basics (childcare, formula etc., health care) & we make it hard for even well-resourced parents to get these things on their behalf.

Like, I try to take my daughter to restaurants on the early end so she doesn't disrupt people, but if you're complaining about a kid listening to an ipad on a ✈️without headphones then I invite you to research noise-cancelling headphones for kids that actually work. They are $130

Anyhow stupid Twitter disputes aside, formula is crazy expensive and kids shouldn't be punished b/c they weren't born into $$. All children deserve love and food and care. Thank you.

Last night, Toledo City Council approved $800,000 to purchase the medical debt of Toledoans, creating roughly $160-240 million in debt relief.
This is what it looks like when your government works for you. Toledo is leading the way!

The baby accepts instant live video calls with her grandma on the box I keep in my purse as an ordinary, unspecial occurrence. But I got her light-up rain boots & she thinks they are possessed by the devil. She runs screaming, "What the boot? Why the boot? No boot!"

I’m serving as lead negotiator for our house-hunting in Chicago and my husband just said I missed my calling as an M&A lawyer because I’m a total shark. Never felt so seen. 💕

"Given young children’s sacrifices on behalf of their communities, it would seem a reasonable reward for the medical establishment to intensify its focus on treatment and prevention of a disease that does disproportionately affect them." wapo.st/3gM8ko6
