when I find out we’re finally getting a Percy Jackson TV show vs. when I realize we’re gonna have to wait at least another two years for it to premiere
A lot is reported about how Hitler wouldn’t shake Jesse Owens hand after the Olympics but Owens also wasn’t invited to the White House to shake hands with the President either. I think that an excellent microcosm of how history is taught in America.
As I sit here crying for my family & our loss of Jaime 5 years ago in Parkland, I'm watching the press conference in Michigan where treating physician is crying. Gun violence breaks families & breaks communities. BEFORE IT IS YOUR LOVED ONE, DEMAND WE FIX THIS ONCE & FOR ALL.
