I’m at Target and it’s the middle of the summer and I’m a grown adult with no children in real school yet. But I’m standing in the back to school section of the store debating how many crisp, clean notebooks, little perfect boxes of crayons, pencil cases and locker accessories I can buy for my kids who don’t even attend real school yet. You know you do it too. Whether you’re 5, 50 or somewhere in between, here are some fun back to school supplies anyone will enjoy. Back to school 2016: 7 trendy back to school supplies 1. Yoobi Assorted Gel Pens (Yoobi, $9.99) I love the way gel pens write. They make clean lines, and these pens come in the crazy neon colors. 2. Yoobi Fuzzy Pencil Case (Yoobi, $3.99) I think everyone has a thing with pencil cases. This one is super fun because it’s fuzzy and comes in different colors. 3. Locker Style accessories – Silver Magnetic Chandelier (Target, $14.99) Did you know these exist? Whether you want to go for a midcentury modern look or you’re feeling more glamorous, you can find a magnetic locker chandelier in any design you like.

4. Sharpie 4 Colored Blade Highlighter (Amazon, $3.99) These highlighters are easy to use. 5. Iwako Animal Erasers (Amazon, $9.94/pack of 20) While I bought these erasers for my kids, I like them as much as they do. Iwako erasers come from Japan and come apart in a few pieces, making a sort of 3D puzzle. They are really fun to take apart and put back together. 6. Crayon Rocks (Amazon, $9.95/16) Crayon rocks are so smooth and have a unique shape. You can’t make any sharp lines, but they make a great rainbow.chandelier pierre tombale 7.

Monday, April 25, 2016 Orlando woman plans to take her gun into Target bathrooms to protect herself from transgender people Photo via Anita Staver's Facebook Not a Glock .45 – just another of Staver's pals, apparently. After Target announced its transgender customers and employees can use store bathrooms that correspond with their gender identity, Orlando-based Liberty Counsel president Anita Staver said she would be taking her Glock .45 into Target's restrooms, saying the gun "identifies as my bodyguard."

@bettawerq90 not afraid of them. I want protection from the perverts who will use the law to gain access to women.— Liberty Lawyer (@AnitaStaver) April 23, 2016 CBS News reported earlier this month that the Liberty Counsel has drafted legislation to "protect those who cite religious beliefs for refusing to serve or employ gay or transgender people" in at least 20 states. "It is only about being free to pursue your faith," says Mathew Staver, founder of the organization and Anita Staver's husband, to CBS News. "We have no interest in discriminating against anyone." Target's policy was a reaction against the recently passed North Carolina law that stops transgender people from using bathrooms for the gender they identify with and blocks local municipalities from passing nondiscrimination laws. Since the company's announcement, conservative activists have launched a #BoycottTarget campaign, protested outside their local Targets, and as this Daily Commercial story details, planned to have a male conservative blogger "barge into the Mount Dora store Thursday and demand to use the women's restroom."
