When her non-binary bestie is politically detained in an unmagical world, BRIGIID sprouts a surprise pair of giant wings. But when she flies 1000 miles to free the President, losing her wings and her trust, she must learn what deeper seeds of transformation a crisis hides. #DVpit #YA #CF #LGBT #DIS

In honor of the Autumnal Equinox: roasted vegetables, chicken with shallots and grapes, fig & almond cake. Wishing balance and tranquility as we tip gently from more light to less. And a Joyful Rosh Hashanah to all who celebrate! 🍂 #autumnequinox #mabon #firstdayoffall

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.
