Feeling sick about the Iowa news. We played that school when I was in HS, eventhough I haven’t been there in decades it feels too close to home.

Twitter is melting down over Stephen Hawking being at Epstein's island, in case you hadn't heard about that yet.

Just awful. It doesn't have to be this way. Our 3rd school shooting in the metro area in 2 years, one of which our governor refuses to even acknowledge. I am filled with so much anger.

This school shooting hits too close to home. We are about 30 min from there and my DD1's bestie moved there last year. They are okay.
I made the mistake of looking on Twitter and there's a bunch of people saying the shooter may have been trans and the left will ignore this shooting since it goes against our "agenda". WTF.

Add to the list of things he should be criminally responsible for but won't be.

Sending love to our Iowa friends. Really unbelievable that we only made it 4 days into a new year without a school shooting.

That poor 6th grader's mom (presumably) was quoted in the early news articles saying she couldn't find her son and no one would give her any information 😠I had heard the fatality count was much higher and that 2 died en route to the hospital so I'm very glad that was not the case. The shooter's social media presence and the lack of action from officials in response to it is horrifying.

So devastating.

It's so awful regardless. But really, we shouldn't have to worry whether sending our kids back to school is safe.

Oh I completely missed that she passed! There was apparently no news coverage of it. What an unnecessary tragedy. Her poor family!

Yeah, we started back yesterday and I think a lot of the metro area schools did too but a lot of the smaller schools like Perry went back today. I had to talk to my 10 year old about it tonight because I know kids will be talking about it tomorrow. I hate that our kids have to worry about stuff like this.

We hadn’t been having our 7th grader take his phone to school during 2023. At the end of the year he needed to bring it to take pictures of some art stuff, and then just continued to pack it. I’m so glad he has it with now with everything that is happening.
Our high schooler takes his daily and actually communicates with me during the day.
I miss the days of my schooling before all this occurred.

This is a horrible tragedy, and I had never heard of her before and really enjoyed learning about her life and history. All that being said, it seems like a frivolous lawsuit. That was an extremely aggressive surgery to perform on an 88 year old, and... this is where everyone is probably going to come for me... 30 minutes is not an absurdly long time to wait for a soiled linen change. I don't know how long her son traveled to be there, my opinion may change if it was 45 minutes versus 5 minutes.

Other articles have said Rep. Johnson was left in a soiled bed for an hour. My major objection to this is that the nurses were in a "training" and that should never tr.ump patient care.I had the honor of meeting her several times and hearing her speak, and she truly was an amazing nurse and advocate for all of us.
I have spent the past few days at my 92yo grandfathers hospital bed after he fell out of bed and broke his hip. We are signing hospice papers later this morning and the care we received was atrocious on ortho/rehab unit. I had to teach several RNs (including the nurse manager of unit) how to use an NG tube because there were errors right and left. I have more anecdotes but ill spare you. But the state of Healthcare in America is incredibly depressing and changes won't happen until corporate greed/profits are removed from the equation.
