    Mike Pence has deleted this 2015 tweet denouncing Muslim bans as unconstitutional.

    Retweet it now remind him, hold him responsible.

    fozmeadows:

    Watching my toddler figure out how to language is fascinating. Yesterday we were stumped when he kept insisting there was a “Lego winner” behind his bookshelf - it turned out to be a little Lego trophy cup. Not knowing the word for “trophy”, he’d extrapolated a word for “thing you can win”. And then, just now, he held up his empty milk container and said, “Mummy? It’s not rubbish. It’s allowed to be a bottle.” - meaning, effectively, “I want this. Don’t throw it away.” But to an adult ear, there’s something quite lovely about “it’s allowed to be a bottle,” as if we’re acknowledging that the object is entitled to keep its title even in the absence of the original function.

    Another good post to read for those writing small human characters.

    Sorry about this being in Twitter format but it was too good not to share. (x)

    Boy, I remember when all of this seemed* like a mostly abstract consideration and not something we’re going to have to take to the streets over and over again to combat.

    *(rightly or wrongly [probably the latter], and I am fully aware this also speaks to how privileged my existence is)

    Getting real sick of hearing from people who are fretting ABOUT PUNCHING MOTHERFUCKING NAZIS.

    Remember, when in doubt: Punch. More. Nazis.
