My unpopular opinion is that if you must have your children beg for money at an intersection to afford it then maybe they don’t HAVE to go to that out of town sports tournament.

We won’t back down!

You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive

Phang: We don’t need the Ten Commandments hanging in Texas schools. What we need is common-sense gun legislation—so the kids can live.
If my kid goes to a public school in Texas and they can’t come home alive, I don’t give a shit about the Ten Commandments being posted on the wall.

Men: Ugh I struggle to even finish a book anymore my attention span is so cooked
Women: It's called A Field of Fury & Roses and it's the prequel to A Palace of Thorns which I enjoyed almost as much as its sequel, A Maze of Mist & Fire. Each book is 800 pages of inter-species elven smut
