40th birthday twofer. Mom gave me a Kenner power droid still in its packaging that she'd saved since my childhood. One of my friends followed that with the rancor in its box.

"Did you kill anyone?" "Just cops" "No real people?" "Nah just cops"
Grew up in the 80s and 90s. As progressive and openminded as I thought I was then...holy shit there are a lot of words and phrases I won't touch any more because they sound archaic, racist, mysoginistic, or hateful today. Back then they were perfectly acceptable everyday things no one would bat an eye at. It does make me happy that at least in this small arena we seem to have made progress as a society.
(Should add that this is from a US perspective)
Take my love
Take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care 'cause I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me
