If they can make you feel like you’re the only one who cares about helping marginalized folks, they hope you’ll be more likely to say forget it. I don’t want to be the only one. It’s not MY fight.

Welp apparently my ALT text setting got switched off again. Photo shows: Two tweens with their faces covered by smiley icons sitting at an extremely cluttered table studying D&D manuals and character sheets.

My kid's friend came over the other night and I walked in on them working on D&D stuff like they were studying for a test 😆

Ours has mastered hiding it inside her cheek somehow? Like she doesn't even have cheeks? My husband will literally shove it down her throat as far as he can get it and then hold her mouth shut while I stroke her throat and 3 minutes later it falls out of her cheek flap.

Just saw our local teen theater do Shrek, and when all the fairytale characters assembled against Farquad at the end, they literally turned it into a No Kings protest! Brought the house down. 👏

Renowned cryptologist Robert Langdon waited by his phone. Surely, the French authorities would call him, a renowned cryptologist, to solve this mystery he thought in italics.

Yeah, I think I was a teenager and probably home sick or something. I loved watching all sorts of old movies growing up, but that one I remember as stupid and boring.
