I came here to repost memes and topple the patriarchy, and I'm fresh out of memes.

Mom of 4, KidLit author, advocate for immigrants and refugees, elder millennial, following Jesus by rejecting injustice.
Both of these divas (who redeemed themselves fully by the end of HSM because ✨️Disney reasons!✨️) would be wrestling each other right into the fires of Mount Doom.

Also, if they *preemptively* put Oreos and peanut butter together, how are you supposed to realize, in the isolation cabin at camp, that you and the girl with your exact same face share the weird quirk of enjoying Oreos with peanut butter, shortly before figuring out that you are long-lost twins?

Another daily installment of "Normal people don't want predators for leaders."

Predators don't know how or want to lead. They want to own and control.

Most people don't want that.

Thanks for taking the time!

Do you see any light at the end of the middle grade tunnel? What themes/concepts in that category seem evergreen to you, and what seems all played out?

OOOF, I'm sorry. Maybe play a drinking game, but with water so you stay hydrated? (And can claim many, many bathroom breaks?)
