Lego, you once taught kids to embrace themselves and to be proud of what they could do. You are the worst disappointment. @LEGO_Group Ad 1981.
LEGO @LEGO_Group just unveiled a new LGBTQ pride campaign aimed at children which features drag queens and people in pup f*t*sh gear attending a pride parade

There is apparently a shortage of 0 negative blood in the San Francisco Bay Area right now. Sadly, I know this because that is my son’s blood type and they are having to call around for units. If you are O negative please consider donating. My son cannot be the only one in need.

“They could not believe a movie was even allowed to be that sad.”
My college-age twins watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest over the break. The ending flattened them. They could not believe a movie was even allowed to be that sad. I told them it was the 70s. You were just expected to cope. 😎

GUARDIAN G2 (2007) Two covers I commissioned from @bantjes for the Guardian's daily feature section. First is for a special issue Surrealism (accompanying an exhibition at the V&A that year). Then one for the annual Christmas puzzle issue.

Thank you for sharing this piece. It speaks to exactly how I viewed the incident. We don't condone the behavior; we understand and empathize, which is not forgiveness nor justification for poor behavior. Rather it shows we are all prone to misjudgment even in the best of times.
