I’m a little surprised that more isn’t being said about the fact that the Stauffers and their lawyers are point-blank refusing to say anything about the process of finding this kid a new home and where he is now. That raises serious child welfare alarm bells for me. You’d think they’d want to make it explicitly clear

Ohh got it, you’re a flaming racist. That’s why you’re making this stupid and spurious arguments. It makes sense now!

Of course they didn’t discuss it with anyone else in the royal family first. If they had, it would have been taken entirely out of their hands while Buckingham called the shots and managed and controlled the entire process. They wanted to do it on their own terms, and I can’t blame them.

Someone in a comment asked for a peer-reviewed study and she replied that it’s “ancient wisdom” so I’d assume the same would go for your question. ;)

What if it turns out that the *entire series* as we know it has actually been R2's exaggerated retelling of events to 3P0 after his memory is wiped? It would certainly explain a lot of R2's heroics in the original trilogy...

The header image attached to this article isn’t of Natalia, it’s from a film.

Thrilled to see the shout-out to Jupiter Ascending, the greatest movie ever made in the history of cinema. Quoth my bff when I convinced her to watch it a few weeks ago: “I can’t believe you’ve seen this MULTIPLE times.”

When I worked with kids I called it Spinning Spider. So I’d use the frame/gallows from hangman, but it’d be a spider dangling from a thread--the body, the head, eight legs, usually a little smiley face. The fourth graders saw right through my ruse and called it Hangman no matter what I said, but the second graders

Thaaaaank you this was my immediate impression as well and I felt like a cad since everyone else seems delighted by it. He claims he’s not doing it for attention which I frankly find..... impossible to believe. 

Gosh, line breaks, giving me a double-take!

I was apprehensively preparing myself to come to this comment section and see lots of people decrying these shoes for being ugly or whatever so I’m delighted by all the Chaco adulation. I love my Chacos!!!

Honestly if this show is anything like his instagram feed (@mrorlandosoria) it’s gonna be amazing. 

Yeah! We actually think there’s a possibility he miiiight be headed in that direction--the circumstances that led to him getting diagnosed with hyper-t also meant that I wasn’t giving him insulin for a few days (because he, uh, stopped eating? his appetite is back now, thank goodness!) and his BG levels when the vet

Thank you! I’m feeling a little overwhelmed by all the different treatment options (I already have to give him insulin twice a day and the thought of giving him TWO medications twice a day for the rest of his life is somewhat daunting) but he’s a champ and my vet is great. I’m pretty sure we caught it fairly early

Imagine being chased by someone running like this down a deserted road at dusk. :)

My 10 year old cat was just yesterday diagnosed with hyperthyroidism to go along with his diabetes and I can’t handle staring feline mortality in the face this morning. 

Where’s Seth Moulton? Not that I’m thrilled about all my elected representatives abandoning me for the campaign trail (him and Warren both). Do we just not know enough about his stance yet?

So excited for this, Lion King is my favorite golden age Disney movie and this trailer gave me chills and feels to an extent that I did not expect. Honestly I think that weirdly the thing that moves me the most about it is how much older James Earl Jones sounds than when he originally voices Mufasa. 

I feel like Chiitan II and Gritty could be really good friends. 

Okay, but do you treat people differently based on their decision whether or not to shave? Do you see people who make the decision not to shave as inherently less worthy? Do you think it’s appropriate to send people death threats or rape threats if they choose not to conform to your own personal standards? Or (as I
