Try not to be hard on yourself for fixating on things you think should be inconsequential in the larger picture. When everything is overwhelming our brains sometimes choose smaller, more manageable pieces to pick at because they seem easier than trying to fix the big thing. You can't wave a magic wand and fix your kid, so instead your brain focused on fueling your body. I've had 2 babies do month long stints in the NICU and I worked myself into a tizzy over some seriously minor things both times. With the second one it was knitting socks. Have you looked into the Ronald McDonald House? They really saved my bacon when I was by myself in Kansas City with my baby in the hospital.

Both are caused by one thing: poverty.

Impoverished regions with little economic opportunity turn into places where lives of crime are the only way to survive. The most effective cures to such regions is to increase social welfare programs, public transit, and support for unhoused and mentally ill.

Speaking of which, I love to get out in nature, but since moving here I've always heard about the ticks non-stop. Anyone know of a sure fire way to dissuade them from forming an attachment with my body (non-deet)? I suppose if someone did they'd be a millionaire. Thanks in advance.

Arnott is also on the board of a far right sheriff's group. That is known for being election denialists, pro insurrection. Protect America now. Membership is 17.76 a month, non tax deductible. The website reads like your standard far right grift.
