Can we just… normalize teens loving their parents? Like obviously you’re not obligated to if your parents are shitty, but damn, I love my mom. She’s there for me all the time and sure we have rough patches but honestly she’s the greatest. Like. We need teens to know that they don’t have to hate their parents just cause.
It must be nice to come from a nonabusive family. One that doesn’t traumatized every emotional interaction to the point where you drive away any sign of love as a form of manipulation because that’s all that you were raised with. 🤷♀️
It is.

a relationship isn’t always 50/50. some days a person will struggle. you suck it up and pick up that 80/20 cus they need you. that’s love.

State legislators in California have introduced the best,
most comprehensive, net neutrality bill in the country. But powerful
telecom giants like AT&T are pulling out all the stops to kill it
before it even gets to a vote, and the word on the street is they’ve

Call and tweet these State Senators right now and tell them to support SB 822 to restore net neutrality!
