Haley impresses me sometimes. Her class is doing a research paper on controversial topics where the student gets to choose their own topic. Most of the kids are doing things like climate change and other easy topics. Haley chose LGBTQ+ rights.

It was a concern enough that the teacher had to reach out to us and the school counselor approached her to see if she wanted help with strategies to tell the other students to fuck off. My cousin is trans and my roommate from college is gay, so there is ZERO rights issues in our house. She's also been reading books where the characters are gay or bi, so she is totally a believer about loving the person.

She even got the tag on her Levi's replaced with a rainbow from the original one, know damn well what it was. Even at 11.5 y/o, she has a better understanding of humanity than most adults. While bunch of kick ass.

Got Reo's for dinner. He passed away after years ago but they reopened his joint, hope for the best. I love this picture of him with Martha Stewart and Snoop. :rofl:
