It shouldn’t be surprising that writers have some of the best strike signs in existence

I saw the dnd movie with my partner and took away only what was intended.

[lamardeuse]

I could write whole fucking essays about Ted Lasso’s nuanced exploration of class and masculinity and the myriad ways in which men are socialized to hurt one another through the medium of sport but because I’m lazy as hell I simply present these two screencaps in which the boy who was probably bullied in showers just like this one learns that he was, in this instance, the bully. This is so much more than a pandemic era feel-good comedy, I’m just - yeah. Holy shit.

RRR really is just a series of back-to-back insane unhinged homoerotic moments for 3 hours straight while british colonizers get brutally killed left and right and i for one had an excellent time

[patrochilles-or-bust]

🙄

🤣

I'm gonna tell y'all right now, there was not a thing the British did in this movie that cannot be 100% backed up by every colonized country on this planet 🤣 in fact, the most unbelievable British action was the one lady being KIND

You deserve to be with someone who shouts their love for you from the rooftops… So, stop being a doormat, you fool.

Finally watching Happiest Season and it is CRIMINAL that K-Stew and Aubrey Plaza's lesbifriends were not endgame.

OMG!  I thought it was going to be a message about perseverance or it never being too late to follow your dreams, but nooooooo.  This is excellent storytelling.

[horse-on-a-porch]

I’m fine. I’m fine I am not at all emotionally wrecked by this.

I'm just sitting here in my room and i got painfully flashed in the eyes by a car going over a slight incline at least a mile away like you could see the shadows on my wall and everything. i will vote for literally anyone that makes LED headlights over a certain number of lumens illegal and subject to arrest. I'm a prison abolitionist but I'm willing to compromise my principles this one time

speaking as a professional archivist, everyone should leave lizzo the fuck alone bc:

old instruments get played all the time and this is a normal thing

she's literally a professional flute player

fuck james madison, it fucking rules that a black woman got to play his stupid fancy flute

it's NOT like the kim k marilyn dress thing. kim k paid to wear a historical item that was custom fit to a particular individual's body and damaged it, as anyone who knows about textile preservation who saw that going down KNEW was going to happen

i trust the motherfucking library of congress with loans of its holdings more than i do the goddamn ripley's believe it or not museum of hollywood are you shitting me

in conclusion, the "controversy" is just people being racist byeeeee

[emi--rose]

Lizzo fucks severely and she's a great flautist fuck yeah

[aimchatroom]

Id also like to add that one of Carla Hayden's goals as the Librarian of Congress is to make it the People's Library. She's doing an incredible job as the FIRST WOMAN, much less a BLACK WOMAN, to run LoC.

and another thing: no child should ever be made fun of for things they love especially by their parents

[sinsear-aisteach]

it should go without saying but apparently it needs to be said over and over and over again because every time i hear my mom tease my sister for playing wolfquest, every time i hear a teacher tease a kid for doodling, every time i hear a babysitter laugh at a kid explaining the plot of a show they like, it drives a fuckin stake through my heart because i was that kid once.

i was made fun of enough times by adults, by peers, for liking something and wanting to share it that i just. didn’t. anymore. 

dont fucking tease kids for liking things. even if you think its cringe. ESPECIALLY. if you think its cringe. because the way you speak and act towards them when they are sharing themselves with you STICKS and they will think of it years down the line.

BE NICE TO KIDS. BE NICE TO KIDS. LISTEN WHEN THEY SPEAK TO YOU. BE. FUCKING. NICE. TO. KIDS.

I was a substitute teacher for a little while between grad schools, and one day I had a middle school math class for the morning. The work they were assigned wasn’t *especially* hard, and one little girl knocked it out in 20 minutes. She started drawing what was very obviously Sans Undertale, and when I noticed I wanted to be supportive, and had the following exchange:

“What’s that you’re drawing?”

*panicking* “It’s nothing, I’m sorry, I’ll put it away.”

“No it’s okay, I was just curious about it.”

“It’s nothing. I don’t want to get in trouble.”

“You’re not in trouble, I just thought it looked like a character from a video game I like.”

Her face *lit up* the second I gave her the smallest bit of approval. She started asking me if I’d heard of various AUs for Undertale, and I tried to follow along as she explained her favorites. I obviously had to keep an eye on the rest of the class, answering questions and helping with algebra, but each time I passed her desk she had more things to tell me.

Anyway, it was very cute, but also a little sad how obviously starved she was for someone kind to talk about her stories with. Kids deserve to have someone in their corner, and it takes no effort at all to smile and listen if they have something they want to share. Preserve the earnestness you want to see in the world.

[redvelvetcat]

Making fun of children for being “cringe”, especially when you’re an adult is cringey in of itself. Like, how insecure and pathetic do you have to be to shit on kids for *gasp* liking things kids like? Cringe Culture and bullying people for their interests is fucking stupid and nearly all the people I knew who take part in that type of behaviour are the most insufferable and nasty mfs I’ve ever met.
