I'm A Death Doula. Here's What I've Learned About The End Of Life.
As a death doula (also known as an end-of-life doula), I spend time with adults in hospice who are in their final weeks, days or hours. Becoming a death doula has taught me about what to expect at the end of life and given me the opportunity to help others do the same. The following year, wanting a better understanding of my father’s passing and of death in general, I researched the role of a death doula. Around the same time I completed my doula training, my 80-year-old neighbor died, and I adopted her 8-year-old dog, Gaia. Being a death doula has changed my view of death — understanding what happens at the end of life has reduced my fear of dying.

With Dana White and Donald Trump at the helm, this could be the biggest UFC event ever.

Krasnov: “I have never seen a wind farm in China” (because he only sees it if he believes it)
In reality, China is far and away the world’s leading producer of wind energy, with more than triple the current U.S. wind capacity. Trump, however, has long had issues with renewable energy ― especially wind, which he has called “bullshit” and “a hoax,” a grudge he has held since a dispute over an offshore wind farm near one of his resorts. www.huffpost.com/…x 'I Have Never Seen A Wind Farm In China': Donald Trump Humiliates Himself, Claims China Has No Wind Energy In Sad Attempt To Demean Renewableswww.msn.com/en-us/news/o...[image or embed] — Jack (@nashtn5.bsky.social) Jul 5, 2025 at 12:22 AMGEMINI:Subjectivist: A subjectivist believes that knowledge and truth are dependent on the individual's subjective experience or perspective.

I Paid Off A School's Lunch Debt. Then Strangers On The Internet Did Something Truly Stunning.
Just a bunch of regular adults, quietly, and for a moment, refusing to be bystanders to something as insane as school lunch debt. DJ Bracken lives with his 7-year-old daughter, Liara, and splits his time between coaching basketball and fighting school lunch debt. After personally paying off $835 at a local elementary school, DJ founded the Utah Lunch Debt Relief Foundation, which has raised over $50,000 and paid off the lunch debt of 12 Utah schools. His advocacy helped pass HB100, legislation that changed “reduced-price” lunch kids into “free” lunch kids, and prohibited lunch shaming in Utah schools. Follow his work on his Substack, “Lunch Money,” or donate directly to lunch debt relief at www.utldr.org.

Four in 10 kids across the United States are on Medicaid, including 368,000 foster kids like mine, who are entitled to Medicaid benefits through the foster system. We know how essential Medicaid benefits are for children in the foster system, nearly half of whom have special health care needs.

Paramount Agrees To Pay Trump $16 Million In Outrageous Settlement
As part of the settlement, Paramount stated that “60 Minutes” will release transcripts of interviews that it conducts with U.S. presidential candidates after they’ve aired.

Speaking on CBS’s “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” in May, Sen. Sanders stressed that Paramount shouldn’t cave to Trump.
