"I was told you're a monster," the hero said.

"So they say," said the monster.

"But you're beautiful!"

"Thank you."

"Have you always been a monster?"

"Heh. I was a young maiden. But I did something forbidden."

"And became a monster?"

"Got named a monster."

"What did you do?"

"I hit back."

"Does the role really require a woman?"

"No?"

"Or youth?"

"Er... No?"

"Is being royal or nobility a must?"

The dragon hesitated. "It's traditional..."

BREAKING: 8 more U.S. Attorneys in MN resign from Trump’s DOJ in protest as backlash grows.
This isn’t normal; isn’t routine reshuffling. It’s a rebellion.
Last month, 6 veteran prosecutors quit in protest. Normal staffing for the MN DOJ’s office is around 50 attorneys. They’re down to just 9.

Biphobia is sending our community back into the closet β€” here’s what we can do β€˜Has the bisexual β€œtrend” started to reverse?’ – no, any decrease just reflects how much harder it is becoming to be out as bisexual

β€œThe more visible bisexual people have become, the louder the backlash and sharper the retreat.”

You have to understand that I grew up in Massachusetts, so these are all household names that I grew up with. Isaac Davis has been a well known hero my entire life. # HATM

John Adams insistence on rule of law and defending the British regulars in the subsequent trial is a big part of why I am now a lawyer today #HATM

I don’t think the hot dogs were as good back then. It takes years/decades/centuries to lock in a good vendor agreement #HATM

Can we all agree that standing armies to β€œdefend and police” are bad for morale and assist in fomenting resistance and rebellion? #HATM

If you need to argue for a true trigger to the revolution, you could make an excellent argument that it all harkens back to the Stamp Act #HATM

The funny part is that we still use a stamp tax in MA. Every deed recorded for consideration involves paying for deed stamps, which is essentially a transaction tax #HATM

I don’t know the exact numbers, but British land is still predominantly owned by the aristocracy, unlike the US #HATM
