This is cool, I guess, but I’m no longer excited about franchise characters who *might* *someday* be played by a woman.

It’s none of the government’s business.

I just keep buying dinosaur-themed clothing for every baby I meet, because dinosaurs!!!!!

“a baby human?” — I love it haha

It’s worth watching the lovely video put out by the Krim family, where they talk about their charity work to honor Lulu & Leo and how they’re going to survive the trial by focusing on the positive.

Ditto. The whole concept of this movie just felt tired.

I have the 49" version of this and I love it. No regrets.

NOT a fun time, obviously.

LOL she also got me salad tongs (which I requested) and those were wrapped but that’s beside the point. [Dying of laughter IRL]

Yes, it’s totally what should be in stockings! I always get my chapstick and lotion refills from there. Mom has great taste. :)
