@davehtaylor @LouisatheLast And on a somewhat separate but related note, it also took us a stupid amount of time to even figure out we could have a romantic relationship together at all (well before he came out as trans) thanks to also being "sheltered" from the existence of gay relationships & people. Ugh.
@davehtaylor @LouisatheLast This 1000%. When my husband and I were in our teens, we both knew he was a guy despite both being "girls" (as far as anyone knew). It took us both years to realize he could actually transition due to us seeing absolutely no trans representation growing up (other than jokes).
@ttv_miniinovaa @AWanderingChuck @JoseColson@chilinschillin@JordanUhl I think *some* compensation would be more than fair. Especially for those of us who took out student loans less than 10 years ago & just paid them off less than a year ago.
And better still, maybe we make college actually affordable going forward. Seems more sustainable.
@theonewhoissane@tejas_7007@AndersenAngus Speaking as a lefty I agree that the reason is valid (and it goes without saying that the abuse was not). It's hella annoying & makes it nigh on impossible to write something in ink that looks nice.
@OmariJHardy This is hella gross. But I was looking for a reputable source to confirm the "genital inspection" part & couldn't find one, only one saying the child's gender must be confirmed by a medical professional. Still wrong as hell, but maybe this tweet sensationalizes it a bit?
@davidmweissman This is precious.
But, it also makes me angry. This shouldn't be a feel-good story. It's wrong that there are people who can't afford to buy/make a cake for their child's birthday. There is no reason people should be forced to live in these situations.
@TheOvalPawffice if you are still hiring & need anykitteh for a Child Protective Services role (or a Secrekitty of Education?), Zero would love to be your cat! He has nearly a year & a half of experience in enrichment of young lives & looking after vulnerable young kittehs. ๐บ
Do you agree that Marjorie Taylor Greene should be removed? That a woman who stalked teenage victims of gun violence โ while telling them she was carrying a gun โ must go? Same. Text RESIGN to 954954 to sign the @AMarch4OurLives petition to remove her.
The abuse of Lincolnโs second Inaugural speech by GOP seditionists who are making bad faith calls for unity is appalling. Lincoln did indeed say with โMalice towards none and charity for all....โ. He said it in the context of finishing the war which had killed 600,000. (1)
