So sad that this is happening again: http://www.haaretz.com/jewish/news/1.767939

I just can’t understand thinking this OK. I do understand being frightened by terrorism, and how hard it isn’t to predict who will be radicalised. But that Skittles meme (remember that??) really solidified to me how insane it is to turn thousands of people away because a tiny percentage of them might be dangerous. …

I think it’s time for me to finally get around to getting my UK citizenship...the US is just getting too worrying.

So, to summarise: “why is everybody picking on us??”

Ugh. Can we officially write Chris Brown off now? Sometimes a bad person really is just a bad person, regardless of abilities, background, or circumstance.

Somehow this is one of the creepiest things he’s done...and that’s saying something.

Just...why?

I’ve been thinking that in some ways (not most, obviously), neo-nazis are worse than the original Nazis. Because most Nazis, while they may have believed and done evil things, did not have much historical context for what they were doing.

Lying aside (which we should expect by now), it’s shocking how much time was devoted to this. Should it matter, in theory, to the president how many turned up for his inauguration? Shouldn’t be on, I don’t know, policy?? But of course, if the president has a vastly inflated ego, that’s what matters to him. Not…

Everyone who knows him hates Donald Trump.

Dogs of course don’t want to be actors, but dogs ‘acting’ is not necessarily against their will. Dogs are intelligent, social animals that love to ‘work’ for us (as in basically doing tricks for praise or treats). As with child actors, you just have to make sure they have enough rest, etc., and that they are not…

He won’t even just say the titles? Maybe it’s true that he really actually can’t read!

Um, I know some Trump supporters and they reeeally did not vote for him because they felt sorry for him.

No matches or bodies of water in school, of course, but yes I have absolutely been hit and had things thrown at me, as well as them hitting/throwing things at each other, not to mention biting, spitting, cursing, running away, etc. If it seems like they might cause harm to themselves, myself, or other children then…

I don’t like reading intricate, intrigue-filled political thrillers. Annoying that I now have to live in one.

I don’t have kids but I myself was raised that way. Of course it may be that my mom got lucky and just had two super chill kids, so YMMV. But I think treating kids respectfully and like we are all part of a team makes a big difference. She always said if you keep calling someone something, they will believe you. …
