At the funeral of a friend’s husband who had died by suicide, she held me tight and whispered in my ear, “Don’t you do this.” I’ve been fighting to live up to her words ever since. National Suicide Prevention Hotline: 800-273-8255

So grateful for leaders like @LGHendersonUtah who work tirelessly (and at personal risk) to make sure Election Day goes smoothly.

Things I would have considered as a young Mormon mom.
I don't think this is stupid by any means (and good qualifiers), but it's interesting that this is always framed as "daycare costs most of her salary" and not "it costs [whatever] from our shared bucket of money" with no mention of the other sacrifices borne entirely by her: retirement savings, social security contributions, advancement, the downsides of a big resume gap Even if everything else goes great (no divorce or financial abuse), those factors should be discussed thoroughly!

I thought the Mormon Mafia is who you call when you need help moving, finding a job, or a meal train. 🤷‍♀️

Me: “um? There’s some privacy issues with these meta glasses.” Mediocre Mormon Man: “Huh?? That’s nothing I’ve ever experienced so it can’t be so!” Me: “Here are some solid examples you might not have noticed bc of your privilege.” MMM: “Haha you left the church dummy”

Weird take. They’re headphones for involved parents, and they’re awesome.

Jack Kelly may be rich and famous but he’ll never forget his fellow orphans 🥲
Christian Bale says he’s been building a village for 17 years Interviewer: “so, how long have you been dreaming about this place?” Christian Bale: “17 years, since my daughter was three years old” “and i thought it would take a about two years to complete, which was obviously totally naive” “but so worth it, it’s now 17 years… took a lot longer than expected” “but we’re going to create and incredible home here for children, what better cause than that” “so i’m totally happy that it took this long”

$3.89/gal at Orem Costco. What does Utah have such high gas prices? Cuz it sure ain’t to help air quality. We paid $3.08 in Ohio on our trip last week.
