Yes, it’s scary. Yes, I worry about the world my kids are growing up in. Yes, I worry about them being able to breathe air and not die in a nuclear attack. But this is life. It’s been horrible - and wonderful - since the beginning of time. We just have to live.

I don’t want to take anything away from any of these kids…

It’s the equivalent of getting more angry at the person who finds out someone is cheating by looking at their phone, then the person who is cheating.

Therapy house hippos?

Except what happens when the criminals get out? After they have been dehumanised and tortured, will they really be able to just fit back into society? It seems unlikely.

Yes! Well I relied (and still do) heavily on lip reading for years. My husband and I both sign now (he’s fully hearing) and my kids are learning but obviously they can’t be everywhere with me so most of my time out is explaining that I’m deaf and I’m sorry but could they please repeat themselves.

As the greatest gif in the world will explain to you why none of this will change anything:

Shouldn’t that be “consular ship,” not “counselor ship”?

Canadians are allowed to wear fur???? LOLLLLLL! I don’t even know where to begin.

Can we have a knitted Tauntaun carcass too?

Lol. Idiots.

That’s great. Big fan of your stuff.

Of the reported cases I’ve heard of of parent-child GSA the kid never, NEVER had a happy childhood. They’re unhappy and searching for some kind of validation and their parent takes advantage of that. It’s sexual abuse.

The Rock is also known for his professionalism and being a stand up guy. I have heard nothing but amazing things about him and his integrity, so this really makes me side-eye whoever this is.

There once was a girl from Nantucket
with talent as deep as a bucket.
She tried to “sound black”
and wrote songs like a hack
so they gave her a Grammy when they should have said “Fuck it.”

I honestly read that headline as “Thermos” and went into a Kitchenette spiral of giddiness.

Are you suggesting that Amber Heard punched herself?
