If parents call colleges freaked about their FAFSA data being leaked, schools may have to issue statements — which would reach a whole lot more families about how warped this is.

My cat has randomly decided that the nails in the wall of a room (leftover from a roommate's wall art) that he's lived in for a year and a half are clearly alive and he must get to them. Like this was his home base room before he was fully integrated to the house. 0 thoughts I love him so much.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

For anyone wondering, some possible dog names have survived from cuneiform sources.
On tiny dog figurines found buried under a palace in Nineveh, Iraq are inscriptions that seem to be names.

I can't recall a single point in my life where I've been scared of a trans person.
Unfortunately, I can think of many, many times that I've been scared FOR trans people.

I've never felt the siren call to perform slam poetry shitfaced out of my mind quite like I have in recent days. Coincidentally, I've also never wanted to check out the Wolfenstein game series this much either.
