Also, some of you don’t actually know what enemies to lovers is huh... Where is the clashing of principles? The righteous fury? The gut wrenching guilt of having unwanted affection for someone who is actively trying to destroy everything you’ve worked your entire life to build? The overwhelming anger thrown at the object of your affection to mask your anger for yourself? The reluctant truce brought about by extenuating circumstances? The begruding birth of respect? The creeping realization that you are on the wrong side? The long agonizing journey to redemption? The slow quiet blossoming of a friendship? The underlying current of a desire that has always been there but you have never been in a position to act on before? The fear that your antagonistic history carries too much baggage? The resigned acceptance that a friendship is more than you are even worthy for? A heroic display that solidifies your position as one of the good guys? The epiphany of love and a hint that it might not be so unrequited? The inevitable conclusion??

Honestly, you guys see two people on opposite sides and just skip to the lovers part....

I feel like there needs to be some kind of post for MCU fans on How To Write About Africa because I feel like there’s a lot of people out there who want to write about Wakanda and T'Challa but are worried about being problematic and that makes me sad because there’s SO MUCH GREAT meta to be had about T'Challa and Wakanda but at the same time there’s a lot of legitimate concerns about perpetuating racist stereotypes and yeah.

T'Challa and Wakanda could be such a great way to introduce people to amazing sci-fi concepts that people should know

[foreverwakanda]

This is SO needed. 

It’s so easy to be like ‘just try it!’ but the problem with this website is that people don’t think its okay for people to make mistakes. I’ve gotten messages from people who want to write about T’Challa/Wakanda but are nervous about how their work will be perceived and its so sad. 

We really need to gather some people who’d be interested in writing a nice little info post!

I want people to stop thinking that alternative methods of communication are subpar to speaking

I want people to stop treating signed languages, writing and various technology as stepping-stones to “speaking properly”

I want people to stop treating people who can’t speak verbally like they’re less intelligent for their inability to use speech

I want more emphasis in disability circles to be put on the general ability to communicate rather than just the ability to speak words

communication ability > speaking ability

[daughterofrowena]

Speech therapist here!  ‘Functional communication’ is what we call it, and it is so much more than speech! 

It’s augmented and adapative communication (AAC) devices like iPad apps and picture-exchange systems and talking boards!

It’s key-sign in classrooms and cued articulation in therapy sessions!

It’s pidgin languages and the root of Creole!

It’s communication partner training, because communication is a two-way street and not all the responsibility is on the person trying to get their message across!

I worked with toddlers and pre schoolers for three years. Sometimes I accidentally slip and tell a friend to say bye to an inanimate object (“say bye bus!”) & occasionally they unthinkingly just do it.

I’m glad there’s a teacher version of “accidentally called teacher ‘mom’”

I’m a speech pathologist who regularly tells her friends and family to ‘use your words!’ and automatically gives ‘good talking!’ as praise...

Fear is a funny thing It comes in a whisper, A chilling flight so quiet you never hear its wing A lurking, shrinking ooze, a loneliness, a sting Of silent screams, of tears that won’t be stopped See,  Fear is a funny thing

Friends are a funny thing They come as the years pass, Or in moments, so fast you don’t suspect a thing A cosy silence, growth towards the light, a spring Of laughter tears (where is your power, fear?) Yes, Friends are a funny thing

“During the Vietnam War, every respectable artist in this country was against the war. It was like a laser beam. We were all aimed in the same direction. The power of this weapon turns out to be that of a custard pie dropped from a stepladder six feet high” –Kurt Vonnegut, Interview with David Hoppe 

[lesbianvenom]

just remember that had voldemort picked neville to kill instead of harry and nevile was the boy who lived/the chosen one if neville had that lightening bolt scar severus snape would still be a death eater

it’s not like he thought being a death eater was wrong — it wasn’t until something directly affected him did he reconsider and idk about you but that is not my definition of “bravery” in the slightest

[secretbraintwin]

That…is actually a really good point

People look down on McDonald’s employees but fail to realize that if all these folks left McDonald’s and pursued “better careers”  your ass wouldn’t be able to get a McDouble with an Oreo McFlurry at 3am.

Hidden Figures (2016) dir. Theodore Melfi 

[yesixicana]

this echoes what white women do today. 

[lifetimeinafist]

This was maybe my favorite thing about Hidden Figures. It did not let white women off the hook for one second.  Kirsten Dunst’s character was passive at best and openly racist at worst. There was another white woman who, while never openly racist, was deeply passive until the last moment.  The movie was, in many ways, an indictment of white feminism and I hope the white women who have seen it were paying attention.

Are you implying Hilary Clinton’s daughter will assassinate Donald Trump because I’m okay with this

[breelandwalker]

Actually, if we follow the narrative, I think it would be the Obama daughters. Which would be even MORE awesome.

Malia’s gonna fight Trump on the roof of the Whitehouse while it’s on fire.
