Somehow this person also has the voice of an anthropomorphic frog which makes it so much better, like this is what the frog should sound like

Cover reveal for STAR WARS LEGACY with Leia, Rey and Kylo Ren

•
Set between Episodes VIlI and IX, Rey and Leia embark on a quest to repair Rey's lightsaber and rekindle the legacy of the Jedi.
After barely escaping the First Order on Crait, Rey and the Resistance are struggling to rebuild. Her friends need the last Jedi more than ever, but Rey feels alone and overwhelmed: Jedi tradition is built on masters and apprentices, and Rey's teacher is gone. Leia Organa tries her best to train Rey in the ways of the Force as Luke did for her so many years ago, but Leia's knowledge is limited, Rey's lightsaber is broken, and the specter of Kylo Ren and regrets from the past haunt them both. How can Leia pass the torch, when she herself is unsure of the way?
But then, the ancient Jedi texts offer a glimmer of hope: a long-forgotten Jedi temple on Tython that might hold the key to repairing Rey's saber. Rey leaps at the chance to journey there - and to her surprise, so does Leia.
Rey and Leia's nascent mentorship is put to the test when they discover the temple on Tython is filled with obscure clues to decipher and arcane trials to complete.As they work to unravel the temple's mysteries, they encounter a group of refugees living in its shadow, hiding from a First Order officer hot on the trail of two freedom fighters in their midst: With the threat of the First Order looming and the secrets of the temple yet to be unlocked, the newly forged master and apprentice must confront their pasts, reach each other in the present, and decide what it means to carry the legacy of the Jedi into the future.

It is such an easy win to just keep asking republicans why they hate America and the Dems refuse to do it.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

They know they just hate trans people enough to ignore it and take the money as they consider it a future problem they can deal with when the time comes kind of the same way mainstream right wingers supported the Nazi's because they hated the communists and thought they could control them

outside wolf

A scanned image of a sketchpage. The early life cycle of a wolf is depicted in drawings and text: "Take a wolf." [a quadrupedal wolf.] "Make him bipedal." [He is standing on two plantigrade legs.] "Dress him in clothes from the department store." [He wears pants and a rugby shirt, one leg propped up on a small box.] "Give him a 20 year long interdisciplinary education." [He is seen as a high school math student, looking at a wall clock while using a graphing calculator. As a college student, timing the movement of a film development can. As a graduate student, looking at mortarboards being tossed in the air.] "He is now ready to go outside!" [He is once again on all fours, albeit still in bidepal form, wearing kneepads and a harness which reads "MASTER'S DEGREE- OK TO PET."

More like evolution because they deny that exists and do everything they can to make sure kids are misinformed about it.
