We used to be a proper country.

Every major corporation has been price gouging for 4 years

These tanks are east of Rafah. They are prepared to kill families sheltering in tents. They are prepared to obliterate as much of what remains for us as possible. They are filled with munitions paid for using your money. And you are not allowed to protest any of this. They are there because you are made powerless by your governments.

@misskubelik Go Angie go!

I don't want to jinx it but about 2ish months ago I got this idea for a low YA book (they're "just started high school freshmen") and I can actually see the whole thing unfolding and I feel like maybe I'm actually going to write this thing?

@misskubelik Her audiobook of Anna Karenina is one of my favorite pieces of media ever.

@misskubelik She is kinda singular in my mind. I love everything she does.

huge moment for the monsterfucker community

@m_kahn Woot woot!!

@camoucrimson Showing up is a really important life skill kids need to learn. Rewarding a kid for sticking with something that’s hard is a great way to let ‘em know their contributions are important even when they’re not in the top spot.

Getting something I’m convinced that you hate whimsy or whatever.

the games decided that everyone could have a prize since there were enough left over and I was so incredibly overjoyed because I got my cute plesiosaur statue even though I sucked ass at whatever games we were playing LMAOO like if u hate the thought of every child-

David Bowie had gone to a private showing of his 1987 movie Labyrinth. Afterward, he’d have a meet-and-greet with a group of children. He met them and had a ball, but one boy was shy and withdrawn. So Bowie asked the organizers of the event if he could talk to the boy by himself, seeing as though he was “so shy." The kid wasn’t actually shy — he was autistic. Bowie told the kid he was also scared, too, of everything. He was, in fact, only able to face other people because of a “magic mask” he would always wear. It just so happened the mask was ‘invisible.’ He gave it to the boy. He then acted rather distressed himself and had to make another magic mask, after which he became calm, too. Bowie and the kid just hung out for thirty minutes, and it was a magical experience. The boy later said he actually felt more confident after meeting David Bowie and receiving his “magic mask." Bowie reminded the boy of how ‘everyone is shy and scared sometimes, and we all wear masks’. Not every celebrity as famous as Bowie would take so much time and go through such effort to put an uncomfortable kid at ease at an event.

@CAUndergound @SupportHBPL Children’s sections also serve parents, dummy.

@SupportHBPL What's the list and books and their subject content? I see one has to do with being a first time parent. Not sure how that is "juvenile" reading material unless you support under age pregnancies.

Books are being relocated to the adult section right now! 😡
