What I’m talking about:
- The Vice Presidential debate. You guys, THE FLY! THE FLY!
- Trump’s use of Regeneron to treat COVID-19. Regeneron was developed using cells from an aborted fetus. If you’re pro-life, are you OK with this? (read here)
- Trump’s complete dismissal of COVID-19 as being a big deal. How invalidating of the experiences of people who have had it or watched their loved ones die from it
- Companies offering parental leave during the pandemic (and how working moms are afraid to use it). A good quote: “Companies like to talk a big game about supporting mothers and families, but in the U.S. we still expect workers to be on 24/7” (from here)
- How parents are drinking and using marijuana more than ever (read here)
Weirdest thing I googled this week:
