It's nuts how common it is to not allow children to be angry, even (especially) in households where adults are angry all the time. As a child I knew my own anger was unacceptable--not just expressing it outwardly but feeling it at all. So now as an adult my immediate reaction to my own anger is often to feel guilt instead of like. Noticing when someone is being rude or unfair or my boundaries are being violated or whatever. fucked up.

I firmly believe what ever you’re obsessed with at 11/12 years old becomes a core part of who you are, regardless if you lose interest in it or not. Maybe some of you were lucky and were obsessed with warrior cats or smth, and if you’re real unlucky it was probably twilight.

Highly recommend parents sign kids up for things they’ve never tried before so they can try a variety of things.

Highly don’t recommend parents continue to force their kids to stay in activities after the kid has given it a proper try and said they don’t like it.

I work for a youth theatre. A lot of kids have never tried theatre before and come in very hesitant or doubtful but actually enjoy it once they’ve had a chance to try it in a positive environment.

There are also a lot of parents who continue to force their kid to attend despite the kid literally not enjoying their time onstage, and it’s a huge drag on enthusiastic kids who are enjoying their time.

the real “problem with political correctness” is not that it’s considered offensive to use slurs, but that there are now many “progressive” environments where saying the right things is more important than doing the right thing. it’s why it’s so easy for abusers to gain traction in leftist circles (they learn the right words quickly and employ them to frame their own behavior as progressive); it’s why so much potential activist energy gets poured into fighting about language; it’s why moderate liberals didn’t believe fer/guson had a problem until the police emails with actual racist language were leaked. (you can do racist things, you just can’t SAY racist things.) i don’t have a neat conclusion here but a related point is that i’m so much happier since i started focusing on like, being a good kind caring person instead of trying to remove the word “crazy” from the vocabulary of everyone in my family

I don't have the words for this but. Art and science are always hand in hand.

The perfectionism of artists has them researching stuff in a way that only scientists can compare. Some artists become experts in biology or anatomy. Other special interests have them going down rabbit holes to make them better at their art.

Disney animators said "we are perfecting the code for this snow if it kills us" and researched and invented code until it acted like real snow in Frozen and snow scientists were like hey. Did we just fucking solve the Dyatlov Pass mystery. And the animators answered no. We made snow. YOU applied the knowledge and did the experiments to solve what could have happened at Dyatlov Pass.

And it was a team effort because of course it was. You can't have art without science. And you can't have science without art.

Hi 👋, My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔

I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $40,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future.

Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶

If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏

Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤️‍🩹

So I watched episode 9 of this show and here are my thoughts

I really hated her father mostly because I projected my own father on this man, distant, always caring about other people before his own family, no emotional connection. And I knew they ere going to give us a reason for his behavior, specially when we see this your version of him, always smiling and being emotionally available. But still I thought whatever it is, it's no excuse. And then they give me episode 9, I have a pile of tissue papers on the desk because i couldn't stop sobbing.

It's a time traveling murder mystery, there is nothing more to say about it, or that's what i thought. But then they show us and makes a commentary about the government and their cruel practices back then. About killing of students and their families. About police brutality about kidnapping protestants and the missing cases that are still on hold. Thank you for reminding us that the past if not mend to be forgotten.

So, I’m watching My Perfect Stranger and it’s great so far! I’ve watched episode 10, but I want to go back to the absolute heart-wrencher that was episode 9, to try and figure out what happened in the original timeline (so without Hae Joon and Yoon Young’s intervention).

In the original timeline just like in this one, Hee Seob got captured instead of his brother and tortured. However, since in the original timeline Yoon Young wasn’t there to find Yoo Seob, we can assume that no one did. Hee Seob was probably kept in that room for several more hours, if not days. This is where it gets dark: I think he cracked in the end. I think he revealed his brother’s location. How else would the secret police have found him? In this scenario, Yoo Seob would have been tortured long enough that it made him lose his mind (in which case it is likely that he did also provide the secret police with the information they wanted), and Hee Seob would feel so guilty at having given his brother up that he would not have sought treatment for his leg, and devoted the rest of his life to caring for him as a way to atone.

As for Soon Ae, in the new timeline, she is stopped by Yoon Young from going to the police, but we see that her father was not far behind. Either her father caught her before she could reach the police, or while she was at the station. Regardless, I don’t think her testimony would have been taken into account considering that 1) Hee Seob was not being held as a suspect for the murder but as an accomplice to a protester, and 2) her father would have done anything to make sure the police ignored her testimony.

Since Hee Seob did not immediately seek treatment for his leg, I don’t know if he and Soon Ae would have had that sweet moment in the hospital, but regardless, something similar would have happened, maybe just in a different place or at a different time.

For how grim the new timeline in, if I’m correct about this, then the original one is reaching new depth of misery. From a storytelling perspective, however, it’s pretty great, because it 100% works in making us believe why Yoon Young’s parents got married, as well as why Hee Seob always chose his brother over his wife and kids: he did love them, but the guilt he felt towards Yoo Seob for revealing his location to the secret police was stronger than anything. It also makes sense that Soon Ae never divorced him and continued to care for him and worry about him instead: not only did she also feel guilty towards him for not reveal his alibi for that night, but she also could never forget how they comforted each other after both had gone through the biggest tragedies in their lives.

Which reminds me, before I conclude this: I don’t remember if it’s ever mentioned whether or not Yoon Young knew her grandmother in the present days, but if it was mentioned that she did, then you can ignore what I am going to say next. But in the original timeline, considering Hae Joon was not there to stop her from jumping, then we can assume that she ended up going through with the suicide. This means that in the original timeline, in the spam of a couple days, Soon Ae’s sister was brutally murdered and her mother committed suicide. That’ s dark. Anyway, I am loving this show so far, can’t wait to see what happens next!

I don't have all my thoughts in order rn but I still need to put this out there.

Episode 16 was okay. Really slow at times, hardly bearable at others but it was good. I think I would have immensely enjoyed the show more if we took out Amnesia and Yoon Eun Sungs idiocracy of the last two episodes.

See for me, as beautiful as the ending sequence was I missed BaekHong even before the show ended. We don't know their new dynamic by the time the show ends. It is so unformed and raw that I physically missed the couple that graced my screen at the start - the one I fell in love with. Who grew from 'I can't love you' to 'I can't live without loving you'. The ending sequence of them was beautiful, the scenes were good but nothing stuck for me. Was it because I was incredibly aware that Haein doesn't remember what I'm remembering. Was it because they never showed me both of them back at the dynamic they used to have?

I loved Baekhong so the end was weird for me. I surprisingly liked it but I'm also pained by what I've lost due to some of the writing choices. I enjoyed the thought of them having a child sometime earlier, more than I saw it here. Because I felt like I don't know this dynamic too much anymore. Hae-in's personality is still a mystery to me. Hyunwoo's dynamic with her as well. We've always seen the hard parts of their marriage and the honeymoon phases. We've witnessed nothing in between. So I guess a more linear passing of time would've been more interesting. It warmed my heart seeing that child in the frame but I squealed more in the post credit scenes where Hyunwoo and Haein are just enjoying themselves in the field (because it reminded me of their original dynamic).

They also could've given me Haein and Hyunwoo dealing with baby 1031 for a whole episode and I would've taken it. That scene explaining what happened and them somewhat talking about it was appreciated but it was a little too late. I felt like the writer suddenly remembered in the last episode oh yeah right the story started cause these two married lovers fell apart. Gotta make them talk about it before the end credits roll. I would've enjoyed them dealing with their past problems more if it was like 5-6 plot twists earlier.

I appreciate the ending I really do. It was warm, beautiful, and nice. It gave closure. But it was a little too late for me. Some of the plot points served no purpose on this show so I wish we didn't have them. But Baekhong from episode 1-14 will live rent free in my brain forever.
