This is so weird. Apparently a neighborhood in London is mad because…too many American candy stores. Oxford Street: Small businesses offered rent-free stores

It is part of plans to rejuvenate the world-famous street and to prevent candy shops from opening.

When my kids were learning to read I had to explain why the F-word was all over flags and trucks. But rainbows are obscene?! 🌈

I wanted to see what Twitter looks like when throttled but turns out I don’t want to read that many tweets.

Best HS English department around! Truly a remarkable team! They are laser focused, always working to improve outcomes for each child! It's an honor to work alongside them! Hoping they can each enjoy some much deserved time off! @FerndaleSD_WA #YouBelong

I ❤️ being married. 📚and 🎥 always end at 💍 where they miss the best part! Hard too, but you grow stronger. Marriage should ALWAYS be consensual. Ending no-fault divorce will only trap people(mostly women) in abusive relationships. It’s not about families, it’s about control.

They can continue to show us how anti-family they are and we can push for a country more inclusive, helpful, and kind. Anyway, off to daycare pickup.
Marjorie Taylor Greene says that adopted or parents through marriage aren’t real parents because they’re “not biological.” She just told a witness who is a mother through marriage that she is “not a mother.”
