This movie messed me up

Also I couldn’t remember the exact quote word for word so if anyone has that 🙏🙏 I’d love it

[irispurpurea]

expectation: haha silly fun times movie about sheep solving a murder, hijinks and shenanigans ensue

reality: what if you and you alone carried the most painful memories of your community? what if only you knew the true shape of reality? what if you were cast out for no crime but the accident of your birth? what kind of life can we truly live if we don't know death? what is the point of grief? why must we remember painful things? well, because that is how you keep the ones you love alive even once they're gone. if we were to forget all things that challenge or disturb us, we would never leave our small worlds. we must carry the burden of memory together. we must cross the road from the meadow and we must not forget.

Watching a documentary on the Cold War, and I know I lack the cultural context (as a Mexican) but... I can't believe the indifference of European countries towards the Palestinian genocide

They were sieged and occupied by the USSR not long ago, but somehow they're OK with Israel doing the same (and worse) to the people of Palestine 🤨

ive invented (note: dubious claim) something i call the bear diet which is mostly fruits and vegetables with fish as the main protein source and something like once a month you eat a few hyperprocessed foods of your liking because that is when you, the bear, raid a dumpster in the suburbs

I would totally watch an annotated adaptation of a Jane Austen novel. We have so many technological options for this now, but like subtitles with historical context notes, David Attenborough-type voice over where he explains the mating rituals politics of ballrooms, a "directors commentary" but instead it's a literature professor and three historians.

Annotated novels are popular! This would be like watching footnotes. I would pay for it. I think other people would pay for it. I think it would be a delight.

Not quite what you asked for, but may I recommend the BBC documentary "Pride and Prejudice: Having a Ball" (2013), presented by Amanda Vickery, in which they staged a historically accurate version of the Netherfield ball for the bicentenary of P&P's publication, with candlelight only and the right size of room (not anywhere near as big as in most adaptations) and historically accurate food and clothing.

The commentary from the historians is great, and the thing that really struck me is that the professional dancers struggled with the stamina required for the accurate choreography. Turns out Regency ballroom is a crazy workout.

saw someone say that they don't read fics under 10k and had to laugh because more fool you, that is where all the bangers are. obviously I'm biased but truly nothing hits like a 1.5k fic with a lowercase title from some obscure poet where nothing actually happens and yet you emerge blinking with a completely new outlook on the character. infinitely rereadable. like a perfectly crafted pastry. I'm gobbling them up!

“young adult dystopian novels are so unrealistic lmao like they always have some random teenage girl rising up to inspire the world to make change.”

a hero emerges 

[inkgut-deactivated20180603]

And just like in the novels, grown men and women are going out of their way to destroy her. Support our hero.

And it’s not even like it doesn’t happen regularly.  

Teenage girls are amazing.

This isn’t a coincidence. Revolutions almost always happen when the population of a country is at its youngest and that’s a lot more true nowadays with social media.

[2am-theswifthour]

Claudette Colvin was actually the first one to refuse her seat in Montgomery, Alabama to a white passenger. The movement chose to promote Rosa Parks as the figure for that form of protest because Claudette was a pregnant 15-year-old girl.

Barbara Rose Johns was a 16-year-old who organized a student strike protesting segregated schools. This strike, after gaining support of the NAACP, became a lawsuit that turned into Brown vs. The Board of Education and resulted in the desegregation of U.S schools nationally.

7th-grader Mary Beth Tinker, disturbed by the Vietnam War, decided to wear an arm band with a peace sign on it in protest. Her school suspended her. Her family filed a suit, Tinker vs. Des Moines, which reached the Supreme Court and ruled in her favor, ensuring that students and teachers maintain their right to free speech while in school.

Freddie & Truus Oversteegen were sisters who joined a Dutch resistance movement in WWII in their teens. They lured, ambushed, and assassinated Nazis and Dutch collaborators. They also blew up a railway line, transported Jewish refugees to new hiding places, and worked in an emergency hospital. 

Our history books may like to showcase male figures, but behind every movement is a young girl ready to make a change. It was true then, it’s true now, and future generations of teenage girls will go on to inspire progress, whether they’re credited or not.
