minor detail i love about leverage: parker can appear & disappear at will with no rational explanation, but ONLY when it’s played for comedy. in more tense and dramatic scenes, she has to have a known entrance or exit strategy as part of the overall heist plan. it’s like she has the ability to teleport but it’s powered by comedic timing lol.
My woke take, as someone who has worked in both a public library and a school library, is that we desperately need both more books that are at a higher reading level but a less mature subject matter, and more books that are at a lower reading level but a more mature subject matter, because 8 year olds who are advanced readers are still 8 year olds and don't want to read about graphic violence and torture, and teens and adults who have learning difficulties or who are just later readers for whatever reason are still teens and adults and don't want to read about Billy the Bunny going to school or whatever the hell.
Shoutout to people in the notes also mentioning people learning the language, I should've mentioned that really, given that I've been stuck reading German picture books myself while learning German.
Okay, i've just reblogged this but I'm reblogging again, this time with books titles. Credentials: mom to an advanced young reader; reading tutor for adult ELL students as well as adhd/dyslexic kids. For older ages who need simpler books: - Who Would Win series -- kids who like animals love these - Fly Guy Presents -- more nonfiction, kids are very into them - Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists series -- great for my ELL adult student - Frog and Toad series -- These are a delight for all. Both my kid and adult students like them. - Shel Silverstein poems -- you might have to pick out the shorter poems, but they are great fun in both subject and rhyme For younger kids with advanced reading abilities: - "Classics" like Anne of Green Gables, The Hobbit, The Secret Garden, Winnie the Pooh, etc. - Howl's Moving Castle by Dianna Wynn Jones - The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett - The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster - The Boxcar Children series -- there's like a million of them, so if your kid likes them, there's LOTS to read - The Candymakers by Wendy Maas - Roald Dahl -- happy to report that the current generation is still very into this man's unhinged childrens stories - Nanny Piggins -- my kid is currently obsessed - Finding Orion by John David Anderson -- also endorsed by my kid - Calvin and Hobbes comics - The Secret Library by Kekla Magoon -- this was rec'd by our children's librarian, kid has read it twice. I cannot recommend loudly enough that you go ask the librarians for help!! You can honestly just go up to the librarian and say, "I have a dyslexic 9yo who loves sharks, what can you recommend?" or "My kid is 6 and at a high school reading level, what might you have that's interesting to a 6yo but has more words than Dr. Seuss?" (I have asked both of these exact questions.) And they will find you things!!
Languages tend to peak at their word for butterfly. Never seen 2 that are the same, either. Papillon. Mariposa. Borboleta. Fluture. Vlinder. Schmetterling. Pillangó. Babochka. Farfalla. Sommerfugl. Perhonen. Farasha. Titali. Chōchō. Nabi. Húdié. Buom buom. Great job guys, i really mean it.
if they're gonna remake The Princess Bride, it should open with a kid sick in bed scrolling on his phone. his grandpa arrives with a gift--it's a DVD player with a disc already inside. grandpa hooks it up to the TV and presses play. and we all just watch the original 1987 film again.
If you get into white work embroidery, you might discover cutwork. And when you start doing cutwork, you might get curious about incorporating detached elements. And before you know it the fabric is gone, you are making needle lace, and there goes the rest of your week.
Buttonhole stitch - not even once.
youtubers should do reverse sponsorships. just interrupt the narrative of the video to shit-talk some random company for 1-2 minutes.

@horsefigureoftheday has seen this, right?
Phenomenal spare wheel cover I walked past the other day

ok i’ve been curious about something. can you name a character who is, all three at once,
1. canonically female (no variation)
2. canonically the protagonist of her story (if it’s an ensemble cast you have to say you can legitimately see her as The main character)
3. your personal #1 favorite character in that story (ties are acceptable)
?
yes
no

Tiffany aching. Keladry of mindelan. Susan death, in some books. Sophie HMC. SO MANY MORE

look into local ordinances and such to see what the rules for installing a road sign is, because honestly looking at that one in this picture it appears to be placed illegally, to close to the actual roadway, which makes it a hazard, doubly so if it wasn't installed properly and inspected by whoever it is that has the job of inspecting this kind of thing.
this is the kind of thing where the asshole that files nuisance lawsuits over piddly little inconsequential ADA things or HOA Karens could actually use their powers for good,
I strongly advice against anyone bulk ordering overpowered unregulated laser pointers off ebay and frying the camera sensors with them. Definitely don't do that (without eye protection).
And face protection! Don’t forget to wear a mask of some kind when you DEFINITELY DO NOT DO THIS, do not show your face or post about it on social media that you have ABSOLUTELY NOT DONE THIS.
HIJK is not my personal favorite part of the alphabet song but i appreciate the artistry. it is the sort of labored uphill climb that lends itself to the free downhill spillage of LMNOP. each letter is like an effortful punctuation of an iron pick into the mountain side as you hoist your way up. you can almost hear the shrill of each strike chafing
Wrong: Ada Lovelace invented computer science and immediately tried to use it to cheat at gambling because she was Lord Byron's daughter.
Right: Ada Lovelace invented computer science and immediately tried to use it to cheat at gambling because that was the closest you could get in 1850 to being a Super Mario 64 speedrunner.
This is how I found out that Ada Lovelace was Lord Byrons daughter
Well, yeah. That's why she received the unusual education which laid the foundation for her later discoveries in the first place. Her mother, Lady Byron, firmly believed three things:
It was her responsibility as a mother to ensure that Ada didn't turn out like her father;
Fundamentally, the thing that was wrong with Lord Byron is that he was a poet; and
The opposite of poetry is math.
Ada Lovelace's biography handily illustrates how well this theory worked out in practice.

*through gritted teeth* i will be patient with and kind to myself. i will be present with myself in the everyday. i will allow myself to be comforted by the world immediately available to me. i will not abandon myself when i feel scared. i will trust myself to know how to care for myself. i will let a better life slowly seep into mine so i still recognize it as my own.
