Resolved to do a frozen dinner thxgvg to be low key this year but everyone can request that things be home made. So far the requests are:
Stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potato pie, cranberry sauce, duck instead of turkey (that’s been rejected). At this point the only thing left is like the rolls.

This is why the teen was never allowed to have messenger kids, Roblox, minecraft. Basically anything with shared UGC.
Except her explanation is “my mom once spent a summer ranking tweets in the order of likelihood that they violated Twitter’s terms of service”

Big kid has had to explain to friends why they're not allowed on Roblox and it goes a bit like "because my dad works in tech"
Every parent whose career has to do with online safety also bans Roblox.

Please hear me when I say that
1) these anti-medical woo birth movements have been a primary feeder into anti-vaxx eugenic movements

Periodic reminder that direct action is a fundamental form of protest.
It is the original form of protest.
To refuse to accept the status quo, to intervene in an effort to shift power from the oppressor to the oppressed is protest.

I understand that avoiding Target can be hard (we still do), especially in some areas. Like for whatever reason* no one has cheaper ground pork and eggs around here. THAT BEING SAID, I DO NOT understand if you cannot avoid Starbucks. Like y'all, just don't cross that picket line.

Have these boots been inside the state of Texas? No.
Did I shake them out for critters since I haven’t worn them in 8 months? That is between me and the scorpions.
P.S. you can pry the skinny jeans from my warm, not wet millennial legs.
