CONFESSION:
Everyday I look back at ME1 and wish Shepard had been allowed to romance anyone of any gender.
Garrus your lines still hit hard and your bromance is forever remembered.
I cannot recall watching a battle as intense as, fighting to save your arch angel ass as male Shepard.
ME1 at least had the excuse of really trying to do too much in a single game (the amount of worldbuilding in it is pretty staggering); the real failure in this regard is ME2, which had lined up some potential same-sex romances but backed off of them because of some conservative idiots raising a stink about the potential for a wlw romance in the first game.

Here’s a not so friendly reminder:
Just because you have received the vaccine does NOT mean you can just do whatever you want now and stop wearing a mask and social distancing. The pandemic is still happening.
If the virus continues to spread, we give it more opportunities to mutate and adapt, which could lead to a variant that’s immune to the vaccine, which would mean everything we’ve been doing would be a waste of time. Until enough people get the vaccine and herd immunity is achieved, keep following the rules, wash your hands, social distance, and wear a mask.
The vaccine also doesn’t necessarily stop you from getting and spreading COVID, it’s meant to keep you from having a serious or fatal reaction to covid. It’s supposed to make it much harder for you to get COVID at all but it doesn’t actually make you 100% immune.
So being vaccinated probably means you can personally relax when going out but should still be wearing a mask in public and avoiding non vaccinated high risk people.
Seriously, folks, by now you should ignore any attempts by the government to weaken the restrictions, and KEEP masking & washing & distancing.
“But Jean, WHEN do we ease off??”
When it’s been 6 months between cases.
NEW ZEALAND got it right.
And when they had a returning flare-up of just a few people, they locked down HARD.
WE ARE NOT DOING THAT.
THIS MEANS WE WILL KEEP HAVING CASES IN THE TENS OF THOUSANDS.
The only way to STOP that is to KEEP MASKING, GLOVING, DISTANCING.
“Just Keep Maskinging Just Keep Distancing…!”

Lesbian!
OP left out the third tweet talking about asexuality haha
Bi asexual 😍😍😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Lesbian asexual????
GUYS I LITERALLY HAVE A POSTER OF HER ON MY WALL BECAUSE SHE WAS SUCH A HUGE PART OF MY GAY AWAKENING I FEEL SO VALIDATED RIGHT NOW
WE FEEL VALIDATED IN THIS HISTORY TONIGHT
Just wanted to share this for my ace lesbian followers! Marilyn Monroe was most probably one of us asexuals, even if she didn’t know about/use the terms we use to describe ourselves today. Reading these excerpts is almost the textbook experiences of aces before we find out community.

I really like “it was like hearing all the time that stove polish was the greatest invention on earth.” Because yes, that’s exactly the sentiment of the disconnect.

This is why baby boomers think we can pay for school while having a part time job
im so mad
this is why they should all shut the hell up forever
Couple of things worth pointing out:
- This is just tuition and fees, and doesn’t include room and board, or books, or anything else. I have no idea what that cost in mid-70s Houston (or today in Houston), but that very likely bumped up the cost considerably. I went to college in the early-mid eighties, and tuition (and everything else) had risen considerably.
- For the umpteenth time, “boomers” aren’t responsible for the continuing inflation in college costs. Go to any college and see who’s working in the administration. Most boomers are already retired. There are plenty of people from younger generations who are just as enthusiastically driving up the cost and student loan burden of their peers and children and grandchildren.

When will this end? When will our children be able to live without fear of being criminalized for simply existing?
[ID: Tweet by @/taniel. “When a 6-year old is dragged to court for picking a tulip. Read the North Carolina story: https://journalnow.com/north-carolina-sends-6-year-olds-to-court-why-some-say-its-time-for-change/article_e2a15a82-8383-11eb-91ee-43ce7c88753b.html”
Screenshot of the article linked above that reads, “The 6-year-old dangled his legs above the floor as he sat at the table with his defense attorney, before a North Carolina judge. He was accused of picking a tulip from a yard at his bus stop, his attorney Julie Boyer said, and he was on trial in juvenile court for injury to real property. The boy’s attention span was too short to follow the proceedings, Boyer said, so she handed him crayons and a coloring book.”
Retweet by @/DearDean22. “He was arrested for picking a tulip while he waited for the bus. Someone called the police on a 6 year old Black boy because he picked a flower. The police arrested him. He had to go to court w/ a criminal defense attorney who gave him a coloring book to sit still. We are hated.” End ID.]
And people wonder how it’s even POSSIBLE that children have been kidnapped from their parents, by our Government and in the thousands, then confined in Concentration Camps at the border?
It’s easy when you don’t see those children as Human Beings.
This is what we’ve been fighting since this countries inception.
The fight has never been paused, on-hold, or OVER & isn’t LIKELY to be ANY of those things for a LONG time.

how fucking done do you think sisko was when he got the “heyyyyyy so we need commander worf for a week, turns out we left our robot on this pre-warp planet and we have to go get him :(” voicemail from picard and meanwhile the dominion war is literally still happening
Just imagine Worf coming back from Insurrection and everyone on the station has just seen the weekly casualty list and they’re like, “Hey, Worf, must have been pretty important for you to be called back to the E-E like that” and he’s like “Yeah, sure”, and inside he’s thinking, “I had to sing Gilbert and Sullivan to catch Data when he went rogue, and then I got a zit.”

Eleanor Roosevelt and Lyudmila Pavlichenko.
Lyudmila Pavlichenko was a Soviet sniper credited with 309 kills, she is regarded as the most successful female sniper in history. She visited with President Franklin Roosevelt, becoming the first Soviet citizen to be welcomed at the White House. Afterward, Eleanor Roosevelt asked Lyudmila to accompany her on a tour of the country and tell Americans of her experiences as a woman in combat. Pavlichenko was only 25, but she had been wounded four times in battle.

“ooh you hate cops but who are you gonna call when you get robbed?” uhhhhh your moms house? a great tragedy has befallen me and i need to have sex immediately
Every time someone’s like “who are you gonna call when you get robbed?”
1. Know how I know you’ve never been robbed?
2. I am going to call my insurance company and file a claim, the only usefulness a cop has at this point is generating a report number for said insurance company to refer to
3. Seriously all a cop’s gonna do after establishing that the robber/burglar/whoever isn’t there anymore is say “what do you want me to do about it?” and leave
Also:
So, ya know.
SMH at people who think that cops investigate burglaries. Maybe in the better neighborhoods, or very occasionally somewhere else if there’s an election and one candidate is promising to hold cops accountable and the other one is promising to raise their salaries.
