- Reposted by Eirene EleniAfter Covid the school I used to work at hired more psychologists that the teens could talk to about their anxieties.

Every moment of justice won requires tireless effort, and every win requires vigilance and defense for eternity. Look at the backsliding on rights we were assured wwre settled law.
