$SPHR Sphere has seen a massive rise in social metrics in the last few weeks, driven by the Wizard of Oz show that is resonating well with consumers.

Ok, if we're Q-RTing this, here's why I don't agree to disagree. If pregnancy is primarily body horror, that means it's bad to be a woman, uniquely exposed, and we have a moral duty to solve the problem of women being women as best we can. That's one thread in feminism.
I think pregnancy is a form of body horror so let's agree to disagree

I get this sentiment but some of us have argued that we have become so focused on “safety-ism” in older adults that we strip them away from their homes & activities in the name of safety but many older adults would prefer to stay in their homes even though they might be less safe
People, do not let your elderly parents remain in large, unmanageable homes, especially if they live hours away from you. Life goes south INSTANTLY, not predictably over time. I cannot stress this enough. Elderly parents must have some consideration, too, for their working

I’m feeling a bit anxious—recording is underway. Looking forward to sharing the final produced with you all
showed up at the recording studio for my talk today and the makeup artist runs up to me and takes one look at me saying “I’m here to do your hair and makeup!” me (thinking my hair and makeup were done and looked good) “oh”

“Looking along the beam, and looking at the beam are very different experiences… it is perfectly easy to go on all your life giving explanations of religion, love, morality, honour, and the like, without having been inside any of them.” - CS Lewis

A quiet admission: I’m deeply proud of the life I’ve helped build for my 8-year-old son. But some nights, I lie awake… Afraid I might ruin it all for him. This is the paradox of abundance — and how I’m trying to navigate it as a parent.

I corrected the writing: Surrogacy is an unregulated, profit-driven system that treats women’s bodies & infants as disposable commodities. As this shadow market grows, the powerful and wealthy outsource gestational labor while ordinary, often vulnerable women bear the fallout.
Surrogate pregnancies are increasingly popular in tech circles, and the practice is expected to explode globally in the coming decade. It’s also shockingly unregulated. This is a story about what happens when it goes horribly wrong.

Managing your finances, no matter how much you make, is key to financial success. No one knows this better than @teyanataylor. The recent culinary school grad was given $300 to create a 🔥fit for Chime’s Ball on A Budget. See how she pulled it off. Powered by @Chime
