All of this.

I'm going to see Downton Abbey - The Grand Finale for the second time today.

PAM FRAMPTON: Extravagant hoaxes, then and now

It is apparent from my own unscientific research that many a childish dream was shattered after kids sent away for Sea-Monkeys.

A thoughtful take on the insidious nature of internalized ageism. "Many of my personal heroes are over 65," Frampton writes. "It’s the adults flying under the radar we need to worry about, and we need to be calling out systemic discrimination and condescension when we see it." #ageism
