Louder for those in the back!

this made my tear up a little bit. what a great thing

So basically "The Parrot Trap"?

Aww, my mom did something similar for me! I would read mail to a blind neighbor weekly, for $5. She was lonely and needed minor assistance, and I was very young and shy. Better yet, she used to be an English teacher, so I learned a lot about pronunciation! Win - win situation, and it helped us both out!

I want to know what happened to the parrot.

Smart parents.

Wow, great plan

What a beautiful thing for both of them ❤️

I love that they conspired to help both this boy and the bird!!

Well, if it takes a depressed parrot to get a kid to read, then by cracky, we need more depressed parrots.

We are formidable warriors when the need arises.

Well that's one effective approach...

Bless your soul, thank you ❣️

Those types of professors are the good kind

Not everybody's motivation is money.

Don't know why people get so bent out of shape about drag queens and children. Every drag queen I've ever known has been very protective and nurturing towards children. The Queens know what it is like try find your voice and flourish in a society that often pushes for conformity.

That looks great

What? Why would a council do that?

Similar thing happened when I was in Paris around 2000. Ticket office staff for the metro were on strike, but drivers weren't, so the trains ran but no one paid to get on them!

Hero.

SKA BAND TO THE RESCUE!

This is an awesome move!

The Spiderman crouch ! 😄

Cecil J. Williams, 1956. Photo taken by a friend of the photographer while he posed, during a road trip in South Carolina. He traveled the South of the US to document segregation and discrimination, including coverage of the desegregation of public schools and violence against black protesters, becoming a close friend with JFK in the process. He is still alive and 86 years old.

When I was at school the bus stop where I and a school mate caught the morning bus was suspended due to road works and temporarily replaced with a sign on a concrete block. Coming back from school one day we moved the temporary sign about 100 yards down the road so we didn't have to walk so far in the morning. When the works were finished they reinstated the bus stop WHERE WE HAD MOVED IT TO! It's still in the same spot decades later. I went on to become a Civil Engineer, designing and building roads!

That's hilarious, and will be great fodder in the court case!

The point is to borrow a person that is different to yourself. If you want to know about being gay, or Christian, or Muslim, or transgender you can borrow someone who is that and they will tell you about it, I think it is a brilliant idea, as the internet cannot interact in the same way.

I am so happy you did this. It upsets me that instead of helping the people read they wouldn't let them go someplace fun. So instead of fixing the problem they were making people feel bad for having the problem.

Kudos to the staff member

Hard to think of a better use of their donors' money

A single basil leaf can keep me happy all day.

That lady should receive an award!

That's a real dad. Passed the Dad Test with flying colours.

If you can find the jack. Never mind that most places actually have the TV sound wired into the sound system already.

Beautiful and caring

So sweet and thoughtful. 💕

free religious reproductive healthcare? Did they mean to write 'religious-free reproductive healthcare' ?

A true urban hero. 🥰

I have proof of the latter, so it is correct.

As a female gamer I can confirm, and I don't even sound like a little girl I just sound like a grown woman but they can't handle a woman being good at gaming or gaming at all some of them..

If you can't fart in the bathroom, where can you fart?

"Moms for Liberty" is a Republican Conservative organization that started as a group fighting against COVID prevention measures, and later expanded their scope into campaigning against LGBT rights, racial equality, inclusion initiatives, vaccine mandates, freedom of religion and education. They have been proven to have financial ties with the republican parties and the "Proud Boys" neofascist organization. They themselves have been branded an "extremist far-right organization" by several independent advisory groups, and their methods include astroturfing campaigns, direct harassment of teachers and public servants, legal and personal threats, bounties to encourage violence or further harassing of teachers and even openly encouraging shooting liberal teachers.

Well if it helps slow people down... good job!

chaotic fun prank

I don't know what the controversy around Bud Light it, but it's appalling tasting "beer" regardless. Why is American beer like having sex in a canoe? Because they're both f*****g close to water.

I have a feeling your apartment building is going to be shut down or at least heavily fined.

Well they are saying not to do the thing.

Not that she gives a rat's a*s about the conditions/problems in those reservations, let alone even bother showing up to pretend she does, but it's the thought that counts. Edit: forgot a word 🤦‍♂️

It did affect other people - they got fresh air and felt better I bet.

It's trashy

Trying to make my young coworkers understand that they still have to do the less fun parts of the job...
