My name is Neil the Seal and I have a little hat

I wrote about the Prairieland defendants and the urgency of opposing the extreme sentences handed down on Tuesday. And they likely will not be the last.

the real problem with the neopets roleplaying forum is that most of its users are there because they want to be in a bubble. and they can tell themselves that it’s just about not wanting to battle in the battledome forum, and that’s part of it, but also there’s a palpable desire to be a cybunny
