I use to manipulate excited electrons to create diagnostic films, now I’m a mom that wear many hats! I also enjoy being an artist, meditation & the philosophy of Buddhism.

Families. My thread is all over the place. Don’t know how to work the threads. So pardon me if they’re out of order. Remember the forced abortion w china’s 1 child policy? Here, we have a forced birth situation where there are human sufferings. How abt anti LGBTQ communities? They’re being

2/ escaped to Taiwan. I do have a unique perspective that guides my decision to look at this situation differently. An autocratic regime will see lives lost here in the US. Will it be worse? Look at the separation of families at the border. Abducted children never reunited from their immigrant

My in-laws r from China. They loved through the communist war & an autocratic government. It was harsh. Lives were cheap. Many of her brothers were killed due to being landowners. Academians were also frowned upon. My mom’s side was from the military perspective. My late grandfather was wounded as

I won’t be holding my nose when I vote for Biden.There IS a difference between Biden and that evil 🍊 💩 I’ll vote for an imperfect man over an outright evil one. I don’t want to feel shame over who I’ll support.There are ppl here that need support.I’m a POC & remember all the violence against Asians

Everyone can vote for who they want, it is a democracy. That’s exactly what I’m trying to protect by voting for Biden. Although it brings me a lot of angst that the human rights issues in the US is being overlooked due to Gaza.

White ppl? What white ppl? Abortion rights affect POC more so than white women. I just said I respect ur decision not to vote for Biden, nor have I thrown accusations ur way, I’d appreciate the same in return.

I respect ur decision. I’m not going to tell u how to vote. I’m voting Biden bc I have children that need a democratic government. My concern is beyond Gaza, although it breaks for them.

I’m still voting for Biden. Once trump is into the WH, Palestinians will be completely irrelevant. Kushner has talked abt waterfront property in Gaza. That’s not the only issue. In the US, there r women’s rights, LGBTQ, and more

I’m not sure what else to say. I saw a comment “it doesn’t matter who I vote for, my life won’t change.” I was shocked. POC’s life will change. Women’s rights would change. Immigration policies will change and much more!

Exactly! Voting for Biden isn’t voting for Biden, it’s voting for empathy, LGBTQ, human rights, women’s health, choice, environment, social benefit.

I was chatting w a friend who’s in the mental health/social work field. She was sharing w me that the ppl she’s spoken w, AA & Latinos, will not vote for Biden. Why? Biden didn’t do much for them. I’d like to ask, what did trump do for them when president? Aside from chaos, suffering & racism.

Have those socks w holes in it or old clothing that’s not worthy of donation? I just subscribed to this bag. U fill it up w clothes or textiles u no longer use, and they’ll take it back to recycle & give u store credit to buy other things on their website. Great way to NOT discard!
