mom can i move to sweden
And you wanna know why? Because having a young person in school = expenses. They are in school from 8am-4pm, can’t bring in an income to the family. So Sweden decided you know what? Lets give them a bit of $$ to help out the student and family with expenses of supporting a student.
College education is also free in Sweden because you know what? Education is seen as a social investment.

It is ok for you guys to tag me in things. Actually, I encourage it because I may not see what you want me to see unless you tag me in it

a couple days ago i saw someone raise the question of why Pacific Rim only seems to be resonating with millennials, and i didn’t know the answer, but i’ve been thinking about it a lot and suddenly i understand

Just going to leave this here
!!!
To date they have killed far more Muslims than any other religious group. It’s not Islam vs Christianity, nor is it ISIS vs Christians, it’s ISIS vs the rest of the world. The media’s portrayal of ISIS is simply manipulative propaganda to inveigle the masses into harboring prejudice against Islam/Muslims and thus supporting US imperialism. They’ve duped the entire west into believing the Christian persecution is the primary, or even most significant endeavor of ISIS. I won’t even mention how ISIS was actually created by the US(either directly or indirectly).
!!!!!!! pay attention!!!

Leonard did exactly what he always signed his tweets with.
He lived long and, dammit, he sure did prosper. He has been a major influence in so many people’s lives. The hearts he’d touched with his poetry and his actions. He will be remembered as one of the kindest, most good-hearted men to ever live.
On to the final frontier, Leonard. We will surely miss you.

This Congressman just showed everyone the exact right way to support transgender people
On Wednesday, California Congressman Mike Honda did his part to combat the often difficult reality many transgender people face by expressing a sweet message of love and support for his own grandchild.
The tweet was sent in the wake of recent, encouraging political action on behalf of trans individuals. A new law could be on the horizon.
Breaking news: Man is decent human being, deserves praise
OR Breaking News: CONGRESS MAN shows support for a marginalized group when most would try to hide it away in the closet.
Breaking news: Man who has the power to help change things, not because he’s a straight white ally, but because he actually has power in the government, is yes, a decent human being, but also is potentially using his power as a congressman to help change things, for the better, for trans people.
BREAKING NEWS: HIS GRANDCHILD MAY BE ABLE TO ALSO USE THEIR GRANDFATHERS POWER AS A CONGRESSMAN TO CHANGE THINGS.
BREAKING NEWS: THIS IS A FUCKING GOOD THING. it may not seem like a lot, and trust me, I will never pretend to know the trials of a trans person. But, I do know that when someone has power as a representative of the government, they don’t always use it. And from the looks of it, this man may intend to help change things, not only in his own state, but prehaps the whole country.
And he’s also risking losing his power as an elected official; if his constituents disagree with what he’s said then he may be booted in the next election.
Based on his Twitter followers, it seems the reaction has been positive.
Breaking news, this guy ain’t white. He’s Japanese-American, whose family was forced into an internment camp during WWII. I think he’s pretty cognizant of what bigotry and intolerance is like. For many minorities, it’s not a difficult jump from the racism we suffer to understand and empathize what LGBTQ suffer.
