Say it isn’t so! We’re not welcome in states with the lowest ranks in education and life expectancy. And the highest ranks in maternal mortality and crime. So unfair!

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

ALSO, PRIORITIZE UPPING YOUR STAMINA WITH THE SPIRIT ORBS AFTER COMPLETING THE SHRINES, IT’S TEMPTING TO FOCUS ON HEART CONTAINERS (BUT NOT RECOMMENDED!), BECAUSE, IMPORTANTLY, THERE ARE DURIAN AND LIZARD RECIPES THAT PROVIDE TEMPORARY EXTRA HEARTS, VERY USEFUL EARLY IN THE GAME! President DJT

in 2007, steve jobs promised an all-in-one device that would serve as a cell phone, an ipod, and an internet device. what he introduced next was the Mac Pack: a 135-pound backpack with a pull-over steel dome housing a computer monitor, a 14-foot aerial antenna, and a 900-foot retractable power cable

There was a Doctor Who episode where something happened because everyone on earth manifested it.

Turns out the show is fictional. Damn.

Black Sabbath is my favorite band of all time, and he might have been the least talented member of the original four, but he still ruled.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Important thing to beat people over the head with: Trump has turned American cities into warzones and for fucking what? Prices are way up, jobs will be way down, the dollar is worth less, and now the highway is blocked off by cops. Maybe the Great Mythical Immigrant wasn’t the problem after all.

If one day you find yourself belonging to something called β€œthe Catturd Army” you need to IMMEDIATELY change every single thing in your life, 100%. Do and say and be the exact opposite of everything you’ve done and said and been. Right now!!

Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first.

One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish.

Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points.

We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are.
