What if you only have one foot?

I'm a teacher. I bought this book for my own children. It's a book about being true to yourself, even when you don't feel like you fit in. You don't have to be "blue" or "pink" if you feel like you fit into both categories.

Yes, it's a book about being trans, but there are other ways to read the book, especially if your audience is young. Accepting and loving yourself. Inclusion. Tolerance. It's a sweet book, and so of course people are going to get mad... it teaches kids acceptance, not hate!

Aldous Huxley's Brave New World was the first dystopia that I ever read. I'd gotten so enamored with all of the various utopias in sci-fi, especially Star Trek, that the idea that the opposite might exist hadn't previously occurred to me. While it didn't change me in a day-to-day kind of way, it helped me make sense of the world around me. I have always loved Star Trek, but it never seemed like humanity was truly headed in that direction.

BNW, 1984, and others helped me understand the world around me, which I think made me a better person in the end. Am I going to be a party to the creation of these kinds of worlds, or am I going to try to help move humanity in the other direction?

Sounds interesting, but I need to know if this is a kissing book.

Chill. He's wearing a medieval tunic.

No, the Belgians.

It's likely because the fixes all would impinge on the rights of his constituents--and by that I mean, the rights of his major corporate donors to make money.

I can't say that I've followed this case closely, but I have never heard a reason why. Obviously, she's sick, but how do you do something like this "just because"?

I'll be right over!

Mmmmm.... raw chicken..... 🤤

Did you say Vader is on the other side of that door? I'm gonna hurl.

But... Han shot first?

That's great if you qualify, but you have to be below a certain income threshold. Not everyone does.

Anyone else just feel like we should eat the rich?

Guess who's coming to dinner...

They say as much:

"These transfers and withdrawals will be applied to customers’ accounts today."

Well, there was this one time that I wanted a book that was in the restricted section, and I didn't have a teacher's note allowing me to go in there, so I just took my invisibility cloak one night and snuck in anyway. The librarian suspected nothing.

npcnews.

Yeah, I know that's a typo, but now I want to know what NPC News is like. "Today, several PCs rampages through the streets and caused $10 million in property damage."

Yes, Ulysses S. Grant was arrested for riding his horse recklessly through the streets of DC. He was arrested, fined, and released. This happened while he was president. However, since it was a minor incident in the grand scheme of things, it isn't really a precedent to hang your hat on.

Realistically? Josh Gad.
