Mary Shelley departed this mortal coil today in 1851. The horror genre' wouldn't be where it is today if it wasn't for her. Raise a glass to the dear lady, won't you? <3 Bry @neilhimself

Something that’s so important to me as a candidate is to secure more educational funding for students with disabilities, particularly those on the autism spectrum. By investing in their childhood, many can go on to have rich lives and careers. It saves money in the long run.

Instead of marching & begging for the city to remove Confederate statues from city parks, some Black men in Memphis purchased the parks that had statues of Jefferson Davis & Nathan Bedford Forrest (founder of the KKK). Then THEY had the statues removed from THEIR property #Salute
