If you have access and the spoons, watch #ImmigrationNation on @netflix. The entire documentary is gut and heart wrenching, it hurts to watch, but it's so important. TY Netflix for airing this now, and not caving to political pressure! #AbolishICE

Meet Oliver, #dachshund #puppy extraordinaire, seen here playing with Livia the #chiweenie (that's half #chihuahua, half dachshund for those who didn't know). She's the pack mom. 😀

And having read most of them, I recommend all of them. 📚
This also works nicely as a Recommended Reading List.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This list contains a number of books that have not been banned widely across Florida. Some individual schools may have banned these books, but it has not been adopted state-wide. It misses many books that have been banned at a large scale however. apnews.com/article/fact-c…

Your sexuality isn't determined by a book you read in Kindergarten. It's determined the way God intended -- by watching Labyrinth, starring David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly.

A thread that should definitely be read. Women's pain is real and had real sources!
A surgeon removed my left kidney last week. It could have been saved if doctors had taken my complaints of stabbing flank pain + history of UTIs more seriously. But, as studies have shown, women’s pain isn’t taken as seriously as men’s.

2000: Go to college or you'll be flipping burgers! 2008: What do you mean you can't find a job, is flipping burgers too good for you? 2016: You want $15/hr for flipping burgers?! Millennials are so entitled. 2021: Why does no one want to flip burgers anymore?
