A redditor described the Star Wars EU as "a universe to think in," and YES. That. I want to create a universe for people to think in, write fanfic in, and ENJOY.

I do not like causing people problems. I flinch every time someone I'm with complains to customer service. Therefore, having my kid's therapist cancel on him so many times in a row that I need to leave a message for her supervisor is my hell. Please stop making my life harder, I'm begging you. 😭

Near my office, there's a little man-made pond - the kind you see in office parks with fountains in them. Right now there is a guy out there with an ice house and an auger. Only in New England. 🤦♀️

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

We need a nationwide “Read More Books” promotional campaign. Celebrity endorsements, Wishbone-style shows, Muppet movies. Kids need to know that reading is cool and fun. The reason millennials read so much is because we were bombarded with pro-book content from a young age.

Everybody look at Kevin right now. Bask in his gloriousity. Despair, for you will never have such magnificent fins.
I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

I was raised Episcopalian. The deity didn't work for me, but I had no problem with the church itself.
Episcopalians are wild because they're a christian denomination that somehow seems to not have total contempt for the teachings of Christ
