Intense or Insane

Anissa Pierce (portrayed by Nafessa Williams):

is a canon lesbian with superpowers (who goes by the name Thunder) who has, among other abilities, the power to make herself invulnerable (this means she’s essentially unkillable-although she can be hurt/injured!)

Her comic-canon girlfriend Grace Choi (Chantal Thuy) has already been cast:

Grace is half-Amazon, and has superhuman durability and rapid healing abilities-which also help to make her relatively invincible!

Also, they’re really cute in the comics:

Can’t use “fetus” when talking about diseases that can harm the development in the unborn.

Can’t use “transgender” when analyzing at-risk (for violence, homelessness, drug addiction, or disease) populations of teens and adults.

Can’t use “evidence/science-based” to show how they came to certain conclusions.

The CDC isn’t alone.

HHS has also been made to remove their LGBT information page from their website, and they are gradually dropping questions about gender-identity from surveys.

The EPA hired a firm to investigate their own people to see if any of them show an anti-Trump bias.

Many agencies are no longer allowed to use the phrase “climate change” or even imply that it exists. Even as fires consume the west coast and flooding washed through our cities and towns in the south. ALL DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE.

Opinion | Even while growing up in New York, composer, playwright and actor Lin-Manuel Miranda experienced a quintessentially Puerto Rican holiday, Three Kings Day. Here’s what makes it special.

I nearly drowned when I was 3. My mom had to jump into the pool fully clothed to rescue me. 44 years later, she still complains that I made her ruin her Mickey Mouse watch.

My mom broke my arm when I was 6. She tells a funny story about it. She doesn’t tell the part about when she came to me immediately afterward and complained impatiently, “Stop crying! It doesn’t hurt that bad.”

When I was in my 30′s, a doctor committed malpractice in his treatment of me, resulting in me permanently having less than 50% kidney function. Every single time I mentioned the kidney disease to my mother—panicking about what this would mean for the rest of my life, explicitly asking her for comfort and reassurance—she told me that it was my own fault for trusting the doctor instead of researching everything on my own.

Some people will tell you that nothing is more important than family.

I’m here to tell you that love is more important than family. Loving yourself is more important than family. Finding other people who offer you unconditional love is more important than family.

If your family causes you pain, then there are a hell of a lot of things more important than family.
