Can’t look at the second story. The argument I give people with indoor/outdoor cats involves my childhood pet killed by wildlife. Encouraging them to save their pets from a similar fate seems to work well.
Moricz — the senior class president of Pine View School for the Gifted in Osprey, Florida — said that before his graduation, his school’s principal, Stephen Covert, threatened to cut his microphone if he discussed being gay or the law. Such remarks would be “polarizing and not school appropriate.”
The US public school system. Preparing you for the real world by denying its (and your) existence.
While conservatives rage at Disney and Fisher-Price for acknowledging queer people, Bratz — the popular line of 10-inch fashion dolls — is leaning full into Pride month by unveiling a pair of rainbow-clad girlfriends who are unapologetically queer.
The couple, Roxxi and Nevra, actually debuted as girlfriends during Pride month 2020, but Bratz has brought them back and made them queer-er than ever for 2022. Even better, Bratz’s parent company — MGA Entertainment — has pledged a $25,000 donation to the LGBTQ suicide hotline The Trevor Project.
Roxxi and Nevra, two limited edition dolls that cost $79, come with accessories too — including a pink megaphone, a heart-shaped fan, a mirror ball, and two protest signs that say, “I can’t even think straight” and “queer and unapologetic” — for the Pride event in their fictional hometown of Stilesville.
“This collaboration is a love letter to the LGBTQ+ community, many of whom have been inspired by Bratz since childhood to live their truth,” said Jimmy Paul, the designer who created the girlfriends’ fashions. “My hope is that the collection brings a glimpse of hope and power and serves as a reminder of both the vibrancy of the community and the gravity of LGBTQ+ affairs today.”
I hope one of them is trans!

I don’t think I can actually untangle what is the grossest thing about this. There is just too much
Too right.
Back on topic then:
That’s a fucking blasphemy.
This may qualify as on topic. Ish.

GoodLiars trolls the NRA. They’re too dumb to get it.
That thread, and the one she did on unintended pregnancy, are both stellar!
Cool! I shall live forever!
It’s true. Simply drink a cup of coffee every morning for 37,000 days, and you’re guaranteed to live to be over 100 years old.
I’m drinking coffee right now!
Hmm. So much for the supposed health benefits of drinking green tea instead!
