This scene will forever be the most important scene in any movie to me. This is a little girl who has been told all her life by her parents that she is a mistake and that she is worthless. This is a little girl whose family life is so horrible that books are her only escape. This is a little girl whose parents constantly belittle her for reading, the only pleasure in life she has. And in this scene, this little girl answers very shyly, because she has been conditioned to be embarrassed of her own existence. At first, she answers slowly, and without making eye contact. And in this scene this little girl is beginning to realize that maybe she is special. Maybe there are kind people in the world. Maybe she is worth something.

It’s also when a lot of boys and girls watching got their sexual awakening when Miss Honey lowered her glasses like that.

I’m just paraphrasing Mara Wilson herself.

And did this really not do anything to you?

“Crazy Dion” Diamond at one of his sit-ins as a teenager in Arlington, VA. June 10, 1960

All of those people around him are demons

hey guys! here’s some fun things i learned from this article about Dion Diamond:

he did these sit-ins by himself. like idk about you, but i always thought of sit-ins as organized by groups, what kind of bravery does it take, man

he didn’t tell anyone about it, like he was no glory-seeker about this. his parents didn’t even know until reporters started calling them up like “hey, did you know your son is in jail?

when someone called the cops he’d skedaddle out the back door although he was sent to prison multiple times

the last time he got arrested was in Baton Rouge, and the cops were so sick of him that they told inmates they’d put in a good word for anyone who gave Diamond a hard time. (the inmates didn’t take the bait.)

he’s still alive!

hark, a hero of our times!

Don’t let people make fun of you for liking japanese culture.

I am living in japan right now and let me tell ya:

There are people here who can’t speak or understand English who play nothing but Missy elliot and ludacris, even in businesses like housing offices and restaurants.

There are people who have cowboy hats and dead cow skulls in their home because they idolize what they assume American homes are like.

There are people who learn English strictly through music videos and American television shows.

There are entire karaoke bars with english songs often sung by people who have no idea what the lyrics mean.

Japan often takes American shows like the powerpuff girls and make japanese versions of them.

They often mistake common Americans for celebrities. I have been mistaken for Micheal jordan, tiger woods, Shaquille o'neal, Tyler perry, and saddest of all: queen latifa.

The act of sprinkling English into your japanese sentences is considered cute and cool and is popular with teenagers. Bonus points if you happen to use it correctly.

Japanese stores sell shirts with english on them and people buy them not knowing that most of those word combinations are nonsense.

Don’t let someone shame you for singing an anime opening, using japanese in your sentences, wearing clothing with japanese on it, ect. If anything, this is just one more thing that you have in common with them.

The American/Japanese cultural exchange is so pure and wonderful and I love it so much

OK BUT RESONATE WITH THE SHIRT THING THOUGH

My Chinese relatives buy me shirts from China with English letters on them hoping I think it’s cool

I have a shirt that says “Hi Quality Uality”

It’s amazing

It happens alot.

And then what’s really great is Americans getting tattoos of Chinese characters thinking they mean one thing when they really don’t

Also a topic where the reverse happens.

Oh, unsensored songs are pretty common.

I should not be hearing an unsensored ‘Magic Stick’ playing at a family restaurant.

And the best thing is when literally no one shows that they understand what is being said.

I was in a Chinese cafe one time and they had obviously put on their “fuck you” playlist. I mean, uncensored versions of Fuck You by Lilly Allen, Fuck You by Cee-lo Green, etc. No one else had any idea.

Oh, also, I got my favorite shirt ever in a little tchotchky store in Sichuan:
