Oh no, they are more depressed than past teens, like it is concerning. They should be more rowdy!

People love to blame social media and video games for all the sad angry teens, but they are all just so lonely and actively being shut out of all community spaces!

The youths are constantly complimenting my boring loafers and I am so mystified by it.

I’ve cracked a tooth and a crown in the past and Botox has really helped! Don’t workout those muscles-restrict gum and really crunchy foods

That’s why the US is how it is. If you don’t leave a clear mark, it is perfectly legal in any state.

I wish it wasn’t! People love hitting kids! Under most circumstances it is extremely legal in the US to hit your kid.

Any spanking or physical discipline increases behavior problems and fucks kids up

I used to delight in bragging that I knew HP was trash even when I was 12. Then I grew up realized it’s beside the point and not all conversations are about proving I’m a special little genius.

Destroying the real world isn’t enough for them, they must also destroy any escape for us and any vision of hope for a better future. I am sad for them but more sad for those of us who carry the hard work of hope.

If we survive this, I really hope parents take a long look at how they are teaching empathy to their children. It's so obvious that that is the missing ingredient in huge chunks of the population, amplified by social media algorithms and cultural rewards for reactions rather than thoughtfulness.

Telling you about Towa Bird and The Beaches right now to avoid further grounding!

I was busy getting paid to turn little boys into emotionally intelligent feminists. It’s heavy lifting.

Knock the chairs over Dovie!!! Knock the men over too!

I’m gonna be on my mom’s plan until she’s on mine. It’s called a family plan, are we supposed to abandon our family?!?

If you’re a white person and you’re not willing to do this type of shit, you’re not fully dedicated to the movement.

I don't care what's in your heart if there's a whip in your hand.

Tofu is skinned white folk and you can’t convince me otherwise.

I am her height and realized I am naturally sitting in the exact same posture. Our feet can’t reach the floor, we are doing our best!

I was accused of being inauthentic recently, and it was the most devastating insult I’ve ever received and I grew up fat.

I saw random fireworks while driving home last night and I really thought it had happened. There better be fireworks.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
