But then, I remember this is why I don't read that many books 😅

With all the media I'm boycotting these days, maybe it's time to finally give in and go back to reading actual books. 🤔

Canada now grants automatic citizenship to children born or adopted abroad to a Canadian parent born outside Canada. Some adoptees previously excluded may now qualify, depending on legal parent-child recognition. www.bbc.com/news/article... 🥚

Apparently the movie that was #1 when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. 🤘

ICE whistles work.

Every major medical organization in this country agrees on what age-appropriate, medically necessary care looks like for trans youth, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Association of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the National Association of Social Workers, and more.

If you voted for Trump in 2024 and finally realize that he lied to get your vote and things aren't going well, it's okay to change your mind. Write your representative in Congress and tell them how you want them to vote. Tell them how things are going. Tell them to hold Trump accountable.

Counter argument on the barring international adoptions: www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontli... *Specifically* these 39, I'm not entirely sure. But arguments have been made on eliminating international adoptions due to decades of abuse.

I am not pro adoption at all. This is racist however. Just straight up racist. 🥚

I am part of the domestic supply of infants. Please talk to us about adoption and politics. Don’t talk for us.

Abuse in a romantic relationship; why did you stay?!!! Abuse from family(bio) But they’re your family! Abuse from adopters: ppl who adopt don’t abuse kids! Adoption is expensive! #childabuse #adoption #cptsd #boundaries #selfcare #estrangement #selfawareness #mentalhealth

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

This entire weekend

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama. Us: Across your entire career? Reiner: In a 6 year period. Us: That sounds- Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

BREAKING: Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released from immigration detention after a federal judge's order Thursday, his attorney's office says.

Adoption strips adoptees of the birthright to their own family history, legally locks it away, and replaces it with a fake birth certificate. And people think their citizenship is safe? It was never safe. Adoptees are proof of how easy it is for the state to dictate circumstances.

I get a sick feeling, as do many, when the possibility of losing birthright citizenship comes up. Now imagine adoptees, who have no “birthright parentage” guarantee.

This is really good work.

⚡️ JUDGE ORDERS KILMAR RELEASED IMMEDIATELY… “A Maryland judge on Thursday ordered the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national mistakenly deported to his home country earlier this year, from immigration custody.” www.cbsnews.com/news/kilmar-...

If you are afraid the ICC will try you for war crimes, do you 1. Stop committing war crimes, or 2. Try to destroy the ICC and international rule of law? Obviously 2. Sorry I asked. I don’t know what got into me.

The “diversity” complaint is drawing a lot of laughter here, but the fact is that Calibri is a more accessible font for people with visual impairments, for example, than Times New Roman. So yes, it’s a silly and pointless decision, but it’s also shitty for the sake of being shitty.

Remember kids, leave your phones at home or at least off / in airplane mode during protests. (Not that I would know anything about that, cuz I've definitely never been to a protest, obviously, in case anyone asks, or in case ICE is reading this post... just sayin...) youtube.com/shorts/bE8Mu...

I can't believe this is even up for debate, and I wonder what it might mean for adoptees and foundlings like me. 🥚

In these trying times, I don't know much. But I do know this: when pizza's on a bagel, you can have pizza any time.

there’s a thread going round about people being surprised that Ringo Starr’s name is not his “birth certificate name,” and that got me thinking. if i had used what it says on my birth certificate i would have been going around all this time saying “nice to meet you. i’m Baby Boy” 🥚

is there anything more 2025-coded than “white” being the pantone color of the year

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.
