I found this great synopsis of Stranger Things: The First Shadow (the Broadway play prequel) and repurposed for y'all to fill you in on Henry's back story and Vecna's villain origin!

Don't let women die for the sake of little assholes.

Surely her life has more value than an underformed anus.

In humans, the anus is the first organ to form.

The blastopore develops into the fetal anal opening by week 8 of pregnancy.

Two thirds of abortions take place before 8 weeks & 85% occur before 9 weeks.

In other words, at the stage most fetuses are aborted, they are literally just little assholes.

Brain fog isn't a cute personality quirk. On mild days, it's just confusion and memory problems, but on bad days, it's like the brain almost completely shuts down.

IDK who needs to hear this, but severe brain fog = Can't think straight, can't see straight, just looking at shit makes me dizzy, so forget reading or even simple math.

My coffee maker has one button.

I'm a bad parent. My son fell on hard rock submerged in supercold water & I couldn't stop laughing to check if he was okay.... because he wouldn't stop yelling WOO while flailing on his back like a turtle!

This is the price of antisemitism: the lives of innocent children. Matilda was only ten years old, enjoying a Hannukah festival with her family when she was killed.

Speak out against antisemitism. Condemn the violence. Support your Jewish friends.

This should not happen in Sydney, Australia, but on December 14, it did. 15 people died at a holiday event that should've been joyful, like Matilda was. This rot cannot be allowed to fester. Stand up. Speak out. Fight back against antisemitism. Our Jewish friends need us now.

While I was giving my college graduation speech, my mom was hiding in a domestic violent shelter after being assaulted the night before during a home invasion. No one told me because they didn't want to ruin my day. She died a month later. And they let her attacker go free.

They let my mom's attacker out of jail when she died and he went on a killing spree.

My schizophrenic mom tried to exorcise the autism out of my little brother. We tried to tell her just had autism, but she insisted that he was possessed by an entity that she called "The Force."

Only one person needs to believe in you, and that's YOU! Surprise yourself.

A moment of silence for Yaroslav Giler, who was attending the Nova music festival with his friends when he was murdered by Hamas on #October7. Two years later, his mother Yelena succumbed to the violence of that day, taking her own life.

May their memory be a blessing.
