Sesame Street posting techniques for comforting children during traumatic world events feels so fucking dystopian but here are the slides they posted just in case you or a loved one has any little critters at home right now
No one is doing well right now, but being a little critter right now has got to be terrifying. This is such a crushing series of images, especially considering PBS’s funding got slashed. While I’m happy Sesame Street continues to keep the wellbeing and education of children as a major priority, there’s a certain amount of innocence that Sesame Street represents and this is giving me such a visceral feeling rn
There’s a fairly recent Sesame Street clip where Rosetta is scared of speaking Spanish because she saw her grandmother get yelled at in public for it. I mean, another example of Sesame Street going above and beyond, but my god I felt gross that they had to cover it.
