You're definitely not ugly.

I hope that you're able to appreciate, love yourself, and see yourself how others see you eventually, my friend.

I wanted to raise my son with the understanding and patience that I was never afforded as a kid.

He is kind, loving, thoughtful, curious, smart, creative, and so much fun! Seriously, everyone loves him.

I defend him. I ask him questions. I encourage him to think about the things around him. I apologize to him when I'm wrong. I engage in things he enjoys (even if I don't). I take time to listen to him.

A big thing I've noticed is that people (typically other men) will define male worth by their relationships with women ("no gf", "kissless virgin", etc.). Maybe it's supposed to be a joke, but it really has evolved past that and engrained itself as a rotton seed in the minds of young men. Why do y'all think the rise of incels and aggressive, posturing adult men is much more prominent now?

Change up shitty masculine "values" and normalize kind, thoughtful, and caring men. Strive to also become one yourself and lead by example.

She was likely going to use them to stage something at a clinic in the future. Probably going to create some propaganda about how sick these clinics were for keeping these remains and not even giving them the decency of treating them with dignity.

Oh, the irony.

From the article:

Tragically, all of this only came to light after people began dying.

......so that's not fuckin' great.

Not exactly the same thing (though it's as close as you can get currently without surgery), but I used to wear circle lenses.

People were either wholly freaked out by it, loved it, or thought I was on drugs. No in-betweens, really.

I've never met a well-adjusted homeschooled kid.

I do stuff that involves quite a lot of printing, scanning, and copying.

My goofy lil Canon Pixma MG3620 printer has held strong throughout the years.

I will scream if it ever dies, as I have zero desire to peruse the hellscape of current-day printers.

My kid now has to sit in classrooms where kids scream, threaten people, throw things, and break shit. The teacher has had to evacuate the classroom until these kids calm down. Barely any teaching or learning takes place because these poor teachers are far too busy trying to manage these students.

My kid went from top student in every single grade to an anxious wreck because he now has to deal with kids who threaten to hurt both other students and themselves.

I'm very much for "education for all", but this ain't the way to do it. It's a fuckin' mess out there. I don't envy the kids of today in the slightest.

I don't, but I wish I did.

itemlabel!

I have (almost) all their plushes & a bunch of their hoodies, too.

Search "Big Shirt" and you'll find it.

Fun fact: the risk is more from the flour than it is the egg.

I have no issues paying higher prices for good-quality plushes. Thank you!
