      A quick poll: If you take kids trick-or-treating, should you get to keep some — you know, as a "tax"? 🧛‍♀️🦇

      Then, of course, there are costumes. Might we suggest these critters — some of the most dangerous creatures to people on Earth?https://n.pr/2yGbVey

      And to round it out, a few things that tend to come up this time of year: Cultural appropriation and blackface. From our friends at @nprcodeswitch: https://n.pr/2CRtbjK https://n.pr/2P2Znbi

      And do one last check on your Halloween decorations, especially if you have skeletons hanging. Historical contexts are important to consider. https://n.pr/2JvMIb2 https://n.pr/2ql4ncJ

          Or why not just stay inside, lock all your doors, & mind your own f'ng business? I'm really sick of the PC #triggered crowd. Grow a f'ng backbone & stop nanny-stating everyone. Halloween is a Scots/Irish holiday anyway---so if you aren't, you're guilty of #culturalappropriation.

          Is it the costumes or negetive portrayal of other races that distorts normalcy? I think the negative conversations and acts of violence on other races (any race for that matter ) has misappropriated representations.

          I really like the thoughtfulness of this. Context *is* super important. Skeletons hung by a noose from a tree in say a southern rural town, in a largely black community, by a white family… yeah, super messed up. And I like the creative solutions offered… way more interesting.
