The Instagram post featuring the video is filled with comments from teachers agreeing with her that it’s a growing concern. @Jo_Frost

Menopause is such a fun little season of life You're exhausted by 2 PM, wide awake at 3 AM, overstimulated by group texts, mysteriously puffier than yesterday, your brain clocks out mid-sentence, and you are one chewing sound away from a felony. I love that for us

Every dollar Elon Musk has made is traceable. Every product sold, every service rendered, every government contract awarded, every share of stock bought or sold. It’s all on the record. You, on the other hand, haven’t built a company, invented a product, or created anything people willingly pay for. You’ve spent the last 14 years collecting a $174,000 Senate salary. Yet somehow you managed to buy a luxury D.C. condo, a $4 million Victorian mansion in Cambridge, and saw your net worth balloon by 150% to $12 million. Everyone knows where Musk’s money came from. The same can’t be said for yours.
Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth. We need a wealth tax.

None of your problems are because Elon is a trillionaire.

“If Elon Musk wasn’t a trillionaire, we could all afford healthcare.” They fail to understand that Musk didn’t take his wealth from anyone. It didn’t exist before he created it.

Don’t worry about Elon becoming rich with his own money. Worry about politicians becoming rich with your money.

Chick-fil-A has 37 cars in line with a wait time of just 1 minute 54 seconds. The workers make it rain condiments on me and treat me like I’m their favorite cousin. Meanwhile, McDonald’s has 2 and a 1/2 cars in line with a wait time of eternity. The workers make it seem like their condiments are bricks of gold and treat me like I’m the stepdad they blame for their parents’ divorce.

I’m this person…🌸
There’s a person somewhere who still cuts flowers from their garden and puts them in a glass on the kitchen table. Not for guests. Not for social media. Just because life feels better when something beautiful is nearby.

“We’re diagnosing boys with ADHD for acting like boys.” Erica Komisar said this on Steven Bartlett’s Diary of a CEO. Little boys have a huge testosterone surge between ages 3–6. They need to run, jump, wrestle, and move constantly. Instead, we put them in classrooms that reward sitting still, regulating emotions, and being quiet — behaviors that come more naturally to girls. When they can’t, we label them as disordered. Boys’ schools get this — they do short lessons then let the kids run around multiple times a day. Regular schools don’t. It feels like we’ve built an education system that works better for one type of kid and then act surprised when the other type struggles or gets medicated. These early labels follow boys for years and can damage their confidence and self-image long-term. We’re not letting boys be boys. Do you think our school system is unfairly set up against how boys naturally learn and behave?

There’s a special kind of sadness in looking back at the 90s and 2000s. It’s more than missing old songs or old friends. It’s missing a time when life felt simpler and different. Moments that once seemed ordinary became some of our most treasured memories. We were living through the good old days without even realizing it.
