STILL MISSING!!
The first grader has been separated from his dad for almost a week, following ICE abducting them for the third time this year! ICE refuses to disclose the 6 yr old’s location.
WHERE IS YUANXIN?
Call your Reps & ask them to pressure ICE/DHS to reunite Fei & Yuanxin & release them!

Just to show you a few recent, cool entries. The blank expression is key, but as to where you pose, you can see a lot is acceptable. (This is not yet a comment on what will be accepted for the book, since we can only use a few.) (Claim your photo if u want, but did not want to preemptively ID.)

Strongly recommend ordering merch from MERL. Its high quality and it will make you highly desirable to your preferred genders and also command the loyalty of farm animals

On the one hand, you can't judge a book by its cover.
On the other hand, if you form a mental picture of "former Venmo CEO who's turned Pinterest into an AI slop bucket that's alienating users" and then see the photo of the actual guy, you will go, yep, that's him.
