Unfortunately, Playmates did not mold this or the Lucas figure for finger-interlacing action.

Now this is a Star Trek episode waiting to happen. The Enterprise meets the giant wise old sloth from SPACE! (Said in the Pigs from Space voice)

I learned to dye my own yarn yesterday. Grant kept telling me to "have fun dying!"

this also still happens too. I have people I still keep in touch with via like 1 letter a year. We are just conditioned now that instant replies are supposed to be required due to technology...

Growing up I penpalled a lot and I feel like anyone who ever had penpals totally approaches friendships with having no time expectations. Like oh, I haven't heard from you for 8months? That's ok. Reminds me of the letter writing days when we would drop a 12 page life update and disappear again

Not ICE. Not Border Patrol. Just the same rotten local cops we've always had

this isn't the worst of the Democrats' statements, but statements like this are a stark reminder that to many people, the real issue with the Iraq War was that Americans died. everything else is a footnote.

This lady was asking me so many personal questions that if it was a dude I would have ran out of there.
Luckily she had the memory of a hamster.

The first deaths announced from the US-Israeli strikes on Iran: dozens of school girls. They hit an elementary school in Hormozgan.

There is a deliberate project to make people only remember mitigation measures from 2020.

What actually happened is totally unmentionable. It never gets discussed.

WARNING: Illinois Is About to Elect a MAGA-Aligned Senator But it's not too late -- here's what we need to do to prevent a catastrophic failure and instead elect someone whose record aligns with our values

IL is on the verge of electing a Senator far more aligned with Trump, MAGA power brokers & ICE infrastructure expansion than the values of a deep-blue state.

Here’s what Raja Krishnamoorthi hopes you don’t know about him & how we elect someone better.

this is extremely fucking important, esp with what just happened in kansas. they are trying to criminalize every aspect of our existence. i try not to be alarmist about things but this is where we are and it is BAD bad

This is what I need cis folks to understand.

It's been a decade.

Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.

They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.
