August 29, 1924 It’s funny, most people can be around someone and then gradually begin to love them and never know exactly when it happened; but Ruth knew the very second it happened to her. When Idgie had grinned at her and tried to hand her that jar of honey, all these feelings that she had been trying to hold back came flooding through her, and it was at that second in time that she knew she loved Idgie with all her heart.

I have dragged out of hiding just to profess my love for these two.

On the note of "real estate company", for seattle folks, did you know the UW owns a big chunk of downtown, which it leases out? It's called the Metropolitan Tract, and it's 11 acres in area with over 1.6 million square feet of office and commercial space. It brings in millions of dollars of revenue each year, and is worth over half a billion dollars.

WHAT

[themadprideprofessor]

I would also like to add, most students I went to highschool with had sub high school level reading skills. Quite a few were illiterate and were passed just to get them out of school. Many dropped out before senior year. Most of the schools in my parish were rated D-F. Somethings are just not taught but that speaks to a much larger societal problem and I would say cultural as well. In areas like mine, these are not valued skills.

im taking media away from some of u guys until you can pass a 6th grade literary analysis test

[freakvampiresex]

you guys think im fucking joking but im not. i cannot deal with another second of people complaining about stories "glorifying" their subject matter just because no one turned to the camera and said, "hey guys, just so you know, this thing is Bad and Not Good, and this story is about Why it is Bad and Not Good."

[freakvampiresex]

i say this with love in my heart. But i genuinely do believe some of you on this horrid webbedsite are so used to only consuming media that explicitly tells you what you are supposed to take away from it (i.e. children's media) that youve lost the ability to examine media beyond a surface level

[freakvampiresex]

this is not to say that children's media is bad. or that adults can't enjoy it. i'm an adult, i love cartoons, and i probably always will. but if all you are consuming is tv shows made to teach children about kindness, you are going to rot your brain

[freakvampiresex]

If ur annoying on this post you will owe me 300USD

Discussion questions:

1) When OP says "I'm taking media away from some of you guys until you can pass a 6th grade literary analysis test," this is an example of a rhetorical device. Which rhetorical device is an example of? Is it effective? Why or why not?

2) Why might OP only mention the website he is posting on? Does this mean he thinks every other website is without these issues, or is it in order to make it relevant to the viewers?

[themadprideprofessor]

Okay, so this expands upon understanding basic media. Still, these are not the things we learned. Even our speech/debate class was specific to drama class. If you asked #1 to anyone in my school, most students would not have been unable to conceptualize it, much less answer it.

[shamesonlydaughter]

“we need to teach media literacy in schools” guys was i really the only person paying attention in english class bffr

[shamesonlydaughter]

20 years ago, I went to rural ass high school. I promise there was zero media literacy being taught. Maybe students aren’t paying attention or maybe these things are determined by space and time. If you have Fox News disciples teaching anything, you aren’t learning media literacy.

another reminder to stop buying/watching/reading anything JK Rowling associated

[aranock]

I cannot stress enough she is a primary funder of transphobia. She is not just someone with bigoted views you can seperate from her work, her work funds the bigotry.

[themadprideprofessor]

As the case with all problematic/terrible human beings that are celebrities, you cannot separate the art from the artist. You just can’t. Any money you spend to buy the ‘art’ goes back into the pocket of the artist who will take your money to further their horrible causes.

[the-tree-line]

the problem with having a decade old tumblr blog is that there are posts on it from a decade ago

[the-tree-line]

i’ve become a completely different person like 5 separate times since making those posts and there are STILL people finding them somehow

[fatestayyuri]

can I share a hot take on here. is this a safe space

[fatestayyuri]

the dunmeshi fans who think it isn't horny are loudly sharing their misconceptions the same way the really annoying wow classic fans were

[fatestayyuri]

like this

[greatlordfluffernutter]

The past few months have been nothing but dunmesh fans waiting to see the animated scene of two naked girls touching eachother's bare skin in the bath together.

[themadprideprofessor]

Nerd person who like citations and folding ideas; The “Wow” bit is from Dan Olsen. If you haven’t seen his video where that quote came from is awesome.

Although Manga was the point of the post, I got hyped over a folding idea’s reference

[themadprideprofessor]

If you look up the bipolar tag, this is what you get. I'm not suicidal; I'm just bipolar and would like to look at other posts from other people with bipolar. Why is this what Tumblr thinks I need to see? Of the few people I've met who are open about being bipolar, they aren't suicidal. We just swing from manic to no serotonin to the point we can't get out of bed. Bipolar is a chronic disorder. Why is this the response Tumblr gives me?

[Video id: a man edited to be sitting in a jail cell, miming singing along to a song. The video cuts to the close up of a priest, where he starts angrily rolling up a newspaper. He smacks the camera about six times with the newspaper and starts quietly yelling and occasionally hitting the screen for emphasis.

"Stop it! Stop! Stop the whining and the sniveling right now! There are Christians in this world who are oppressed, yes. There are Christians in North Korea who can't go to worship without risking being thrown into a Gulag. There are Christians in Palestine who can't even get to their churches because of Israeli checkpoints and walls. You are not oppressed as a Christian in this country. Quit your sniveling whining! That savior you claim to serve said take up your cross and follow him and you're whining and crying because what? Because nobody's letting you treat gay people like shit anymore?! What the hell is wrong with you? Quit whining! Stop it!"

End id.]

Displaced children have been forced to seek makeshift shelter in chicken coops after their tents succumbed to flooding. This tragic reality evokes painful echoes of history, reminiscent of the deplorable conditions endured by Jews during the Holocaust, confined to horse stalls and sleeping on wooden shelves never intended for humans.

The phrase “never again” lost its meaning shortly after World War II, as the world witnesses a disturbing repetition of past atrocities. Despite solemn vows, the world’s involvement in supplying arms only exacerbates the suffering of the oppressed. It serves as a stark reminder that complacency and inaction pave the way for history to repeat itself.

Do you do any of these? @thoughtstherapy
