Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much.

Construction illegally started here last year without the proper paper work. And implied threats.
This wasn’t even eminent domain, because they never seized the land they just started showing up with it still privately owned.
So, I live nowhere near here, but if anyone wants to try to do something I felt I should spread the word.
This should be something supporters of private land ownership and enviornmentalists both agree on.

“When the world was young the seven Tsars and Tsaritsas divided it amongst themselves. The Tsar of the Birds chose the air and the clouds and the winds. The Tsaritsa of Salt chose cities with all their bustle and heedless hurtling. The Tsar of Water chose the seas and lakes, bays and oceans. The Tsaritsa of Night chose all the dark places and the places between, the thresholds, the shadows. The Tsaritsa of the Length of an Hour chose sorrow and misfortune as her territory, so that where anyone suffers, there is her country. This left only the Tsar of Life and the Tsar of Death to argue over what remained. For a time, they were content to quarrel over individual trees, stones, and streams, giving each other great whacks with that scythe which Death wields to cut down all that lives , and that hammer which Life wields, which builds up useful and lovely things such as fences and churches and potato distilleries. However, Life and Death are brothers, and their ambition is precisely equal.”
Deathless by Catherynne M. Valente

Pages from the Raphael Macro-Series issue (BUY IT PLEASE, BECAUSE IT IS VERY GOOD).
Forget “Rise” Raph. The Raph who really needs love and protection is poor IDW Raph, whose life has been full of angst and misery even though he now has a family who loves him. Poor baby was so scared after he mutated, and couldn’t understand other people hurting his only friend. I just want to wrap the sweet violent Turt up in a blanket and feed him something warm.
And this is even more true because Raph is shown in this issue to be very sensitive to things that are painful to him, and very acutely aware of loss. Poor sweetie just wants to be a farmer, but he has to fight and and be a warrior instead.
do u ever see stuff customized for little kids and get blown away by how small……children are like…….those little little tiny chairs in preschools…..so small……they sit in those and do their work…….what does someone so small have going on…I know it’s important and they’re working hard…..I love them & I love those little chairs
This is not my first kid and yet I’m still floored by how tiny baby shirts are. Like… omg. I had one of these before!? Was the first one really that small? Really? AND I’M HAVING ANOTHER VERY SMALL PERSON!?
every time i see baby sneakers in the shoe store I am speechless I stop in my tracks. baby boots? have you seen the little timbs they make for teeny feet I’m going to SCREAM
The first time I saw newborn sized jeans (they had an elastic waistband) I almost cried. They had tiny working pockets and I was so shocked. These tiny babies with their little baby hands don’t even have things to put into their pockets and yet they have working pockets but I, a grown woman, have to check to make sure jeans have working pockets before I can buy them
you don’t know…..babies have a lot of things to put in pockets like…….their Very Small Hands……a single ravioli……
Babies have pockets for one single, damp, cheeto.
YEAH!!!
As a daycare assistant teacher I can confirm all of this. Babies use their pockets all the time, and store the mysteries of the universe in them…

If I wasn’t going to be a world-famous journalist and if I didn’t have such respect for truth and justice, I could be an amazing master criminal
