“... after the children went missing the [CYFD] employees were pressured to testify about the case in a way that would cast the department in a favorable light."#nmleg #fostercare #CYFDCrisis   santafenewmexican.com/news/local_new…

Every administration vows to improve CYFD, yet failure after failure continues. Limited solutions are not enough. A complete cultural change must happen." - Rep Kelly Fajardo #NMLEG #nmpol #CYFDCrisis #PassHB284 santafenewmexican.com/opinion/my_vie…

DYK: 39 states have created a separate office to advocate on behalf of children and stakeholders in the Protective Services system & protect against retaliation. It's time for NM to do the same. #NMLEG #CYFDCrisis #PassHB284 ncsl.org/research/human…

Love that #HeyJustin is trending right now! As a 22q mama, I love seeing the representation!

Just got the news that my youngest can proceed with getting her trach removed 🎉 Celebration time over here!

About to do a very not-frugal thing and buy my husband (but really me) a Traeger. Please affirm this life choice I’m making.

My sister survived a suicide attempt today. My mom can’t take off work tomorrow because she doesn’t have any paid leave left. 1. Praise God my sister is ok. 2. US work/life balance is effed up. 3. Motivated more than ever to build my FU fund.

“I don’t see you as disabled” isn’t the compliment that many nondisabled people think it is

Today, I am completely sick of the “child welfare system”. More so than usual. It should not take 6+ months of paperwork to get a toddler out of a hospital and into the home of a family ready to welcome him. But arguments over who has to pay for his care take precedence 🤯

Congratulations to my rocket scientist friend who helped get Bezos into space today and no one else. Glad that some of my favorite nerds are living the dream 🙌🏻

Finally found a home health nurse to help care for our medically fragile toddler who is trach/ventilator dependent. Just found out they’re not vaccinated because they “already had Covid last fall.” 😭 Today we find out if they’re willing to get vaccinated or if we look again.

I was at home in Saudi Arabia watching TV with my mom. I had just finished my homework (it was afternoon there). We were worried for the safety of our compound and if our flights back to the US would be canceled. #WhereWereYou

Trying to get my soon-to-be-son moved to the children’s hospital in our state but can’t because there is no room. The children’s hospital is completely full.

Tips to process traumatic events in a healthy way? I saw someone killed in a hit and run today. Pedestrian. First on the scene. Horrific. It’s been 12 hours and I feel like I’m still panicking.

From New York to Nevada, this is what AI thinks people from all 50 states look like.
