if james patterson has one hater i'm dead i've hated him since he ruined maximum ride

If you push yourself to your limits and burn out for a company, you are trading years of your future productivity for minor gains in the present.

BREAKING: A judge blocked President Trump's executive order targeting access to gender-affirming care for trans people under 19 years old nationwide.
This is the second time this discriminatory executive order has been put on hold in our legal challenge against it.

all these interviews with remorseful trump voters are exhausting “we had no idea” we’ve been screaming at you for almost ten years. you knew, and you only care now that it effects you. glad you’re awake, but to me you are and will always remain unforgiven.
