The Dread of Watching Your Kid Start School.

I had such a terrible time in school for most of it that if I had a kid, I’d be tempted to home school. I wouldn’t want anyone to experience what I went through during most of my scholastic career.

It’s not likely that they’d be as big a misfit as I was, but damn it was so terrible if there’s even a chance….

Yeah. They would do just about anything to prevent raising wages, including tanking their own companies (strangely enough).

Love it. I think I’d slap on some clothes, though. Wouldn’t really want a buncha bear hair in my vagina.

Burnt up. Reminds me of all the women journalists who were using Bernie Sanders to prosecute grudges against old boyfriends. That was a wild thing to witness.

I really like this photo that Gal Gadot posted of her doing a handstand while working out:

She looks even taller like that. She’s like 80% legs.
