Holocaust was legal, hiding Jews was not.

Slavery was legal; freeing slaves was not.

Segregation was legal; fighting for equality got you killed.

Being a wealthy child molester is legal; abortions is not.

Laws are not a guide for human decency and morality.

Also -- if there's something you want to pursue but you're worried about being "old" by the time you're done:

You'll still be that age. Do you want to be 40 and have accomplished that goal, or do you just want to be 40?

Balance being a grownup with experiencing joy -- and find that joy where you can. Start taking walks and experiencing your surroundings (assuming it's safe).

Take care of your joints and your teeth. Keep sex safe.

Hydrate. Moisturize. Use sunscreen.

The ICE agents deploying these are people without necessary training, those who couldn’t cut it in police training or didn’t want to join the military.

They are in this to hurt people and play Call of Duty on our streets, deploying chemical weapons on our neighbors as if they’re pressing L1.

Nobody should be beaten up, much less for trying to help the vulnerable.

The IOF beating up a physically small woman to prove a point is just further evidence that they're horrible and cruel.

I always tell them I'll take whatever they've got and whisper-chant "shots shots shots". Immunity? Superpowers? I'll take it.

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans forced a government shutdown tonight.

Rather than address the health care crisis that they created just earlier this year, they refuse to come to the table and do their jobs.

What happened to the art of the deal?

Watched a lady walking around with plastic bags on her feet instead of shoes and it made me feel insane that we live in a society where we could get everyone food and housing and healthcare and clothing and SHOES but we don’t do that because ten billionaires want to be trillionaires

And if you're in any way education adjacent (like a librarian!) you get the preschool teacher ads mixed in.

I specifically don't apply to library jobs that involve working with children, why would I try to be a *preschool teacher*.

The departure of Riley was absolutely a positive for the show. I only wish Xander hadn't been there for the entire run.

Why couldn't we have had Eric Balfour's character?
