Excuse me.
To be great in Lego requires minimum two finger nails and one loose tooth.
These bricks had zero tooth marks!

she just got the house to pass her bill criminalizing trans care for people under 18 years old.

I’m not saying men cannot cover stories about the violence men commit against women and children, but should they?
