Announcing AI Agents for Shopify: Now on Jotform Enterprise
Picture this: A customer is browsing an online store and has a quick question about a product, so they open the customer service chat.

A 30-minute wait probably won’t make the customer feel like their question is very important, and they might even take their business elsewhere. How can businesses avoid this scenario?

How AI Agents can help healthcare providers focus more on patients
According to a study published by the American College of Physicians, many healthcare providers spend two hours on administrative work for every hour they spend with patients. That’s right: Providers can spend twice as much time on paperwork than they do seeing patients.

How an Ohio wildlife rehab uses Jotform to save more animals
Picture this: You’re driving down the highway and see a bunny limping down the side of the road. The bunny is very small, its leg is clearly hurt, and the mother is nowhere to be found. You pull over and manage to coax the poor baby animal into an old blanket. You walk back to your car, carefully holding the small animal. You obviously can’t leave this injured animal to fend for itself, and you can’t take it home and keep it as a pet (even though you might be tempted). What do you do now?

What We Know About Byron Calhoun: West Virginia’s Only High-Risk OB Who Says Abortion Is ‘Never Necessary’
Show the Truth of Abortion Canada/Youtube One of the most impactful lessons of the monster that has been the Covid-19 pandemic is this: we need good doctors, nurses, and medical professionals. We need to listen to them, trust them, and support them. But also, when we come across those few whackadoos who sully the oath and the promise that med students make when they enter the field, we need to call them out and ensure that they don’t do more harm.
Capitalizing on New Joiner High Season
Sean Turner September 1, 2021 Sean Turner shares why it’s important to create a seamless experience for your members, especially during the new joiner high season.

Portland Bars Form A ‘Vaxx Coalition’ And Can We Get More Of This, Please?
Scary Mommy and MaximFesenko/Getty The messages being sent to the selfish, power-hungry governors and other politicians—who’d rather pander to the GOP than save the lives of the people in their state—are giving me hope. Major school districts across Texas—Dallas, Austin, San Antonio—are implementing mask mandates and basically saying FUCK YOU to Governor Abbott, who prohibited such measures.

Why Group X is a Slam Dunk Post-COVID
Michaela Brown August 2, 2021 Michaela Brown, the group fitness manager at VIDA, shares why group fitness is a slam dunk post-COVID and tips for success. The Group X industry won’t need to rebound as COVID restrictions ease because it’s set up for a slam dunk. Fitness-seekers are ready to get out of the house and into the gym, just like the “good ol’ days.” The physical and metaphoric power of numbers in a shared space with a common goal and a shared energy is the essence of group exercise.
When You Say ‘Covid Has A 99% Survival Rate!’ You Sound Ignorant And Uncaring
It’s every mother’s, every wife’s, every partner’s worst nightmare—the person you love and plan to grow old with, raise your children with, collapses in front of you and is on the brink of death. This is the horrific scenario that my friend Katy lived through just a few weeks ago. Her healthy husband, the father of her four young children, had fallen to the ground.
Josh Hawley, The Only Congressperson To Oppose An Anti-Asian Hate Crimes Bill, Is Actual Trash
Pool/Getty Images We feel a lot of things about you, Josh Hawley. Disgust. Rage. Disappointment that you have even one single supporter left. But one thing we don’t feel is surprise when you periodically crawl out of Donald Trump’s ass to remind our country just who you are. And what you are. You are a racist, bigoted, vile sack of skin who has no business holding an elected position at the national level.
There Are Mass Shootings Every Damn Day—But Here’s What Republicans Focus On Instead
Leonard Ortiz/MediaNews Group/Orange County Register/Getty Sometimes I wonder if Americans realize that in other countries people aren’t gunning each other down in grocery stores, movie theaters, churches, and schools every freaking day. And if there does happen to be a mass shooting in other nations, it’s actually huge news. Not like a blip on the radar, right after “Kourtney Kardashian is dating Travis Barker!” and right before “Trump tweets something racist… again.” Do people realize this?
Sometimes ‘Unfollowing’ Isn’t Enough: Why I Have No Problem Unfriending People On Social Media
Scary Mommy and John Tuesday/Unsplash I can still remember joining Facebook for the first time. It was 2009, and it was all.the.rage. among my former college and high school friends.

To The Toxic A-Holes Who Comment On Kamala’s Looks & Sex Life
Scary Mommy and Ethan Miller/Getty On January 20th, history was made in the United States when a woman was sworn as Vice President for the first time. And as much as this is a reason for us to celebrate and shout Girl Power! and sing with pride, Who run the world? and blast “Formation” and pretend that Queen Bey herself is dancing with us in our living rooms, it’s also shocking when we realize how far behind our country is in comparison to the rest of the world.
If The Nashville Bomber Wasn’t White, We’d Be Calling Him A Terrorist
Terry Wyatt/Getty Our whole lives, and particularly since 9/11, we’ve heard the words “terrorism” and “terrorist.” Images of these terrifying mass murders splash across our screens—our TVs, our phones, our computers. They’re always part of some underground organization whose motive is to kill. They are often willing to sacrifice their own lives to achieve their goal of mass destruction. And rarely are they white men.
Please Join Me As I Eviscerate Joseph Epstein AKA ‘Mr. Unemployed Misogynistic Pr*ck’
Alex Wong/Getty Upon graduating college with my hard-earned degree to teach high school English, I almost immediately began planning for my graduate studies. Lots of high schools around the country require their teachers to have a masters degree, so that was a motivator. Plus, it came with a pay raise. And, I truly enjoyed going to school. In fact, at the time, I hadn’t ruled out going on and earning my doctorate as well.
Hunter Biden Served His Country — Unlike Trump And His Kids
Scary Mommy and Teresa Kroeger/Getty I grew up understanding the importance of military sacrifice and commitment. My mother was born in 1950 on an army base in Japan where both my grandmother and grandfather were serving. My other grandfather — an orphan — lied about his age and entered the navy at 17 to escape an abusive group home. He was on the beaches of Normandy on that fateful day in June of 1944, as a kid, fighting in a war. Thankfully, he survived — or my dad and I wouldn’t be here.

I'm Already Riddled With Election Anxiety -- Here's How I'm Trying To Cope
Julia Meslener/Scary Mommy and. CSA-Printstock/Getty Like lots of women I know, I have anxiety. And, like lots of women I know, my anxiety manifests itself in ways that are unique to me. Namely, my strongest attacks occur in my sleep. It’s super fun. I mean, who needs sleep? The other night was particularly rough. I shot up in bed, heart pounding, feeling terrified and not knowing where I was (which is odd, because I was in my own bed, in my own house, where I sleep every single night).
Trump Is Going After The USPS––Why We Must Keep His Tiny Hands Away From It
VALERIE MACON/Getty Well friends, it appears that Trump really dislikes the post office. Adding the laundry list of ways our POTUS has proven he doesn’t actually care about the United States, its stability, and its future, and that he only really cares about winning and inflating his own ego, is his ongoing attempt to dismantle the United States Post Office—a long standing, national institution that millions of Americans rely on for essential services.
The Reason Our Kids Can’t Safely Return To School? Our POTUS Is A Dense Cabbage
Scary Mommy and Drew Angerer/Getty Talk about a rock and a hard place. This back-to-school season is unlike anything American parents have ever experienced. There are no good options. Whatever you choice you make, you’re a terrible parent according to your neighbor or another parent at your kids’ school or the internet. Whatever choice you make, you’re potentially harming your child emotionally or physically, or both.
A Scathing Open Letter To Our "Secretary Of Education," Betsy Devos

With Kids Home From School, Secure Gun Storage Is Critically Important
sasacvetkovic33/Getty Okay, real talk, America. We are all scared. We are all scrambling to get our shit done every day by the time we fall asleep on the couch in a heap of exhaustion at night. Many of us are working from home, attempting to hold conference calls while small people interrupt to ask for snacks. We are homeschooling, and potty-training, and monitoring our kids’ Snaps and Tik-Toks and text conversations.
The Very Predictable Results Of Cutting Planned Parenthood Funding
Scary Mommy, Planned Parenthood and Mike/Pexels Many of us saw this coming. Because, frankly, it’s common sense. When you take away programs that educate, protect, and provide healthcare for millions of Americans who may not receive that education, protection, or healthcare otherwise, the repercussions aren’t going to be good. Yet, in the name of… Christianity? Protecting tax dollars? Morals? Values?
Your Archaic 'Rules For Dating My Daughter' Need To Stop
Scary Mommy, Cavan Images/Getty and _DubzyWubzy_/Twitter Growing up, did you often hear the men in your life joke around about brandishing a shotgun when a boy was heading over to pick you up? Or worse, were they serious when they said it? Did you ever actually have to watch a teenage kid face your gun-toting dad and hear threats upon his life if he touched you? If this sounds ludicrous to you, well, it is. But this is the reality for girls and women, still, in 2019. Just have a look at Twitter.
