It has been such a punishing, depressing, painful, shredder of a year that I asked for dinner and to see Zootopia 2 for my 56th birthday.
Absolutely the right choice .
DELIGHTFUL.

Pocket friends- if I go silent it will be because I have asphyxiated on the amount of axe/cologne in this final exam classroom. Pray for my lungs.

If someone in the White House press corps doesn't ask Trump today why he's so scared of strong women, they should all go home.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
This is so disgusting.

This church and this pastor are doing good work. Please spread the word and help if you can.

I can't say this enough. We don't have to be personally affected to care. We don't have to lose something to want it for someone else. Wanting all people to have a roof over their heads, food on the table and access to healthcare isn't treason. It's called basic human decency.

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.

This is who she was.
Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.
Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

My hot take is that Trump is just really this shallow.
If you give him a good looking, charming young person who is a "winner"- he likes them.
He DOES NOT CARE about ideology, ideas, policies or anything else.
He cares about looking good and standing next to people who look good.
