There's a lot of reasons to mock Trump, his weight and body type are off limits. We do not make fun of people's weight, physical shape, or disabilities.
Go hate on Trump for his poor leadership, his selfishness, and his misogyny. Those are choices.

Wow: SELF magazine has published a series called “Let Them Play,” featuring stories about trans youth and sports, written and edited entirely by queer and trans people.

This is how you change media.

Dear Smol Raccoon Who Lives in Front Yard:

We would respectfully request that you return the Blink camera that you "borrowed" last night as we cannot find where you moved it to. If you in fact lugged it up to the pond and tossed it in, please let us know.

Thank you

If you uploaded your DNA info to a genealogy site, but "opted out" of allowing your info to be used by law enforcement -- surprise! -- they're doing it anyway. Great scoop and terrific reporting by Jordan Smith.

1) this stuff is amazing and if you like your coffee sweet then what you do is you stir a spoonful of cajeta into it. Or you put the cajeta on ice cream. Or you eat it with a spoon.

2) order now because in like a week I'll be living on the ranch and trading Gloria mornings to sleep in for cajeta.

Canada just evacuated a city of 20,000 people because of the wildfires devastating the country, but when people turn to Facebook for emergency updates, they get caught up in Meta’s news ban.

It shows how little the company really cares about its users.
