The only thing it feels worthwhile for me to say right now is pay attention to whether your feelings & the information you’re absorbing are paralyzing you or prompting you to meaningful action, whatever that is. Paralysis helps no one but the enemy.

He's against interracial marriage. He's a plagiarist. Thief of charity money. Opponent of leggings. Hates Hanukkah ("Can Christians support Hanukkah? No"). Says women's votes are responsible for "moral atrocities" like same-sex marriage.

Not really surprising, I know.

I'm not entirely sure how they did it, but they've completely cleared the streets around my office in Midtown #NYC.

They paid a lot of people good wages to do the job effectively, thank you for coming to my socialism talk

Ok so I ran across a FRAGMENT of someone sampling Mr Collins quotes and laying them down over a house beat and now I’m obsessed

And of course watching the original again

But I want full Mr Collins house music now

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes β€œI love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Hot Tip for Writers who are querying:
Have someone who is unfamiliar with your story read over your query and synopsis. If they don’t understand what the book is about or how the story unfolds neither will an agent.

Saw Wuthering Heights. Loved it. WILD interpretation of the book but idc, I had a great time. Every single interior set made me want to spread myself on it like Kate-colored wallpaper.
