This is Pidge, from the Netflix reboot of Voltron. Pidge is special to me, and here’s why. Putting the body behind a cut because it’s not a first minute reveal, though it is S1.
So the atheist movement has a problem with speakers at conferences being disproportionately white men, and maybe a couple white women thrown in if you’re lucky.

Source: BREAKING: Grand Jury Brings No Charges Against Officers in Tamir Rice Shooting | Mediaite This is ridiculous. Tamir posed no actual threat. Granted, the officers might have thought he did, and they didn’t get the full report from the 911 dispatcher, but here’s what they probably should have done. Approach, figure…
