Reading about corporate lobbying against child labor laws in the 1920s and it's the same shit, they never change. It's socialism. It will destroy business. Leave it up to the states. Parents know better than politicians.

Well, I just finally sent my stepfather the big long "this is your last warning before I go no contact" text Stomach is queasy but it is necessary. For too long I have held my tongue and respected a man who has done everything he can to flout and abuse that respect.

Lift me up, O wondrous king of the Gods, carry me to Heaven as you did with the young prince Ganymede. May I be granted the opportunity, honor, and privilege to serve the Gods humbly and faithfully, to know and love them as you know and love me. #Zeus #Hellenisticism
