Matthew has his first set of braces, and has bravely gone off back to school with retainer and elastics in place! I hope he manages OK with getting them in and out for lunch. <3 He'll have the retainer and elastics on 22 hours a day for 3-6 months, before moving to traditional fixed braces.

loot does not drop upon defeating me. the developers didn't expect anyone to attack me, i am so vulnerable, and only trying to help. why did you raise your sword? for material gain? i would give you anything i have if you had only asked. i did not ask to be in this game, i did not ask to have 6hp.

You should have to retake your driving test every 10 years. Would cut bad driving habits and keep people up to date with Highway Code changes. The demand for tests would create more jobs. The inevitable number of failures would force investment in better public transport.

Some of the elders say they can remember a time when it wasn’t always raining. Every night they entertain the children with their tall tales, sitting around the space where we’d have a campfire if it wasn’t always raining.

Also: who would orchestrate a smear campaign? Absolutely no one wanted this. He was beloved. In addition to the unforgivable pain he caused women, he let himself and all of us down, placing a permanent asterisk on a body of work that was formative and inspiring to many writers and artists.

There's an astonishing cruelty in trying to make the world even more hostile for trans kids by suing schools that want to include them. But that's where 'gender critical' Britain is.
We're acting for a school that is being sued - and we could really use your help with funding.

But, like, I was a precociously curvy teen girl in the 90s and just the sheer continuous experience of public sexual harassment is hard to explain. In places where everyone knew who I was and how old I was. In places my parents were present. All. The. Time. From about age 12-13.

I saw someone rather thoughtfully saying that we shouldn’t be dunking on the 9-9-6 bro but instead interrogating the culture that spawned him… But while that nuance is interesting, I feel like this is one of those “yes, and” situations.
