Spatial awareness seems to be an issue at BNA this afternoon.

Or… I’m just having crowd issues today. Meh.

I really should be doing some drafting in my downtime this week.

No husband or dogs around. Nice hotel room. But…

Not having all the norm has thrown my brain into a loop.

Protecting youth mental health / providing a safe space online is critical.

This is not the way.

This country banned social media for young teens. Most don’t plan to comply.
Pulling the plug on the biggest social media apps has broad support in parliament and the public at large. Most kids say they plan by whatever means to skirt it.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

1) I hope action back up Chief O’Hara’s words

2) This needs to be the norm for police departments across the nation

"Humanity is being pulled in a direction by a certain group of people, who maybe aren't fully-rounded humans."

I really can’t do the “holidays-at-someone-else’s-house” anymore. (Though, I’m obligated to.)

I’m 43 with mental health issues.

I can do a whole day. Night… I need to be back inside my walls.

Survivor 49 is more than little lackluster.

If @crunchyroll.com doesn’t want to eventually get plowed under by @netflix.com

They’re going to have to do a far better job at prioritizing English dubs. Cutting of simultaneous releases between cours in the same season (Gachiakuta for one) is a fast way to lose business.
