“Angels” block the Westboro Baptist Church from protesting Orlando victim’s funeral

When a handful of Westboro Baptist Church members showed up Saturday at the funeral of Orlando shooting victim Christopher Leinonen, counterprotesters donning large, white angel wings were there to shield mourners. Members of the Orlando Shakespeare Theater put together the wings as a symbolic but also literal screen between the WBC and funeral attendees. An Orlando Police tweet later proved the efforts to stop the WBC worked.

Is anyone else just instantly endeared by people chillin’ on surfaces that aren’t made for sitting? Like hopped up on a counter with a cup of coffee, cross-legged on the floor eating cereal, drinking wine fully clothed in a bath tub, sprawled out on the hood of a car with snacks for a meteor shower, etc? I don’t know why I love it so much, but I do. 

short people instinctively seek out the highest perches for sitting purposes. nature is amazing

weird how people say “ice rink” even though thers like no other type of rink. also more importantly what the fuck is a rink 

roller rink……

clearly a “rink” is any sort of zone where you move around in strange footwear

Origin of rink: 1325-75; Middle English (Scots) renk: area for a battle, joust, or race / Middle French, renc.
