Harley is a gift from God.
This is why Harley is like my all time favorite!
Why did they leave out the best part of this scene?;
The character development of Harley is probably one of the better things DC has done with their characters.
That last line :((((
There is more:
The fact that she actually had a plausible reason for the muzzle makes this even better.
Harley is a blessing
I always low-key suspect that Dinah would trust Harley to babysit if she really needed someone.

Social justice has been a theme through YA literature for a while,
particularly when it comes to topics relating to sexism, sexual assault,
environmentalism, and race. But there’s no question that over the last
few years, the prominence of social justice in YA has grown — and more
than grown, it’s expanded to tackle more facets of social justice
including religious discrimination, police brutality, gentrification,
and more.
Let’s take a look at YA featuring social justice. For the bulk of
these books, it’s a theme that takes hold over the course of the entire
story. In other cases, it’s a spark that, while there, might not
necessarily be the focus of the main character or novel. In yet other
cases, it’s social justice that starts with a good intention but might
spiral beyond the control of the main character; these are teenagers,
after all.

All it means when people say “you’re speaking from a place of privilege” is that you’re likely to underestimate how bad the problem is by default because you are never personally exposed to that problem. It’s not a moral judgement of how difficult your life is.
^^^^^^ read it. say it out loud. keep repeating it until you understand.

friends, you don’t understand. This ad campaign was goddamn HUGE. They bought out the entirety of multiple train stations in Boston with these. There are so many more, and they’re all this same beautiful combination of questionable/amazing.

I love that this makes you think of me.
"I imagine you asking, “what’s worse than an f-bomb in the presence of a two year old?”
I’m glad you..."
I’m glad you asked. Here are just a few “toddler friendly” examples:
“Boys don’t wear make up.”
“Don’t cry. You’re just being silly.”
“Wouldn’t you rather play with a truck than that doll?”
“You can’t wear pink.”
Here’s the deal. Saying “poop” when I drop something or “fudge” when I suddenly realize I’m late for a meeting I forgot about might offend some people because those kinds of words have been deemed inappropriate. But, no one is going to get hurt. On the other hand, telling my son that he should ignore his feelings or avoid otherwise harmless activities could hurt him. To his core.”
