Parents are working two jobs to make ends meet. When can they be more active?

Another excellent point. Every time I drive by a home with Trump decor™, I am reminded that members of my community (still!) support installing a serial sexual assaulter as a dictator.

And every time I see anti-choice propaganda on someone’s car or in their yard, I am reminded that members of my community do not see me or my daughter as equal, valuable, and autonomous human beings.

Yes, hard to come back from that.

I was disappointed that my community didn’t care about exposing my children and immunocompromised loved ones to a potentially fatal infection. It’s hard to come back from that. Especially when they still don’t.

Adults can’t properly care for children’s mental health when they can’t even care for their own. No one can pour from an empty cup.

Bummer. Our service is stable and works great… when it does. We’ve only lost service for brief periods of time during inclement weather. It’s the malfunction of the equipment (and the subsequent snail-paced troubleshooting/customer service) that is so frustrating to me. Our third dish in less than a year and a company that truly does not give the tiniest fraction of a fuck.

Idk how others are getting so lucky with Starlink. We’ve had it for less than a year and are on our 3rd dish. The previous 2 malfunctioned. The most recent got water inside that caused it to short out. When the service is good, it’s good, but the issues with their shitty equipment is making me lose my mind!

I jinxed it. Lights just started flickering.

Orange Co/Topsham area - still on. I’m with WA Electric.

Dang. I’m on the border of Orange and only lost power for about 4 hours. Sorry for you, that sucks.
