You know that trope of a very hardened strict mother-figure that is actually just an embarrassingly sweet mess in closed doors with the people she trusts? Yeah

[clockworkbee]

as though letting something fall away

WHEN THEY LET DOWN THEIR ARMOR!!!

kind of a crazy revelation but I was listening to some of blondie’s music after her new album announcement and I noticed in her song “Cornelia Street” (released 2019), she sang the lyrics, “As if the street lights pointed in an arrowhead leading us home”

as in, the ARROWHEAD STADIUM where she and Travis Kelce were first spotted publicly as a couple….

Of course, she couldn’t have foreshadowed her future at that time, but I just think it’s crazy how life works out sometimes…

For the love of god if your native language is different from the majority language of the country you’re living in don’t raise your baby speaking the local language. Either have each parent speak to them in a different language or only speak your native language at home. The kid will be okay. Get your native language in their head. You may think you’re helping them in the long term giving them the local language but no. When they’re an adult they’ll wonder why you never taught them your language. They can and will learn the local language in school. They’ll be okay. Produce more bilingual children. They are good for society.

[mistythedritten]

And also, being bilingual helps with executive function. Not all kids have to reach the same language development at the same time as everyone else, it’s okay to have your kid speaking in more complex sentences a month or so later than the “normal” kids.

[breserker]

I've studied the science linguistically but I'd like to put that aside. PLEASE teach your kid the native language. It can go so much deeper than "wondering why", it can create a schism-like pain when you know there's a heritage you have but all access has been cut off. Yes, ALL. If you're fortunate enough to visit the country of your native language but dont teach your kid, they will be miserable, quiet, and alone, and go through difficult phases of hating that heritage because the ladders were cut for them.

And in the United States, this starts young. I've seen teachers tell a Kazakhstani parent that she should tell her kid to speak English INSTEAD. The kid was 2 and a half. A friend's five year old told him "Dad this is America we dont speak Chinese". If you don't teach your kid your native language this country will wrest all pride and heritage from them by force. An occasional visit or two to the home country will not stop the bleeding.

The pain of not speaking the language of my heritage is something I don't wish on anyone. And that language is one of the most spoken in the world, imagine if your native language is rarer. What happens? What happens?

it will always be so crazy and surreal to me how the pjo fandom was the most underrated, underground fandom ever until the show came out and now my explore page is filled with the niche of the niche quotes and moments from the books that the new fans WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO FULLY COMPREHEND THE MEANING OF‼️‼️

make more art. write bad poetry. paint and make a mess. take pictures of your friends, your dog, nature, everything. make art and love it; not because it's good but because it makes you happy. best quote I've ever read.

the thing that gets me about about barbie is that barbie land wasn’t even purposefully a matriarchy, barbie land came about because of the way little girls were playing with their barbies, it wasn’t created by mattel it was created by the people using the toys, so the fact that the barbies ignored the ken’s and had girls night every night wasn’t because they had some bias against him, it was just an accurate depiction of how kids play with barbies. I had some ken dolls as a child and they were essential to the plot in the sense that of course my barbie has a boyfriend because that represented the world i saw around me, but also he didn’t have any purpose in my dream world because i was only interested in what the girls were doing because they represented me and how i wanted to be, I wanted girls night every night I wanted the girls to be president and austronauts and not because of some inherent feminist idea but because I was a girl and I wasn’t thinking about boys, ken was an accessory. this movie wasn’t made to change the world but it showed a different perspective than what we usually see which I thought was fun. Men don’t have to be the centre of all our stories and its not even because we hate them, sometimes we’re just not thinking about them

[theravenclawgal]

the reason the barbie movie is so iconic is because it's such an accessible way for everyone to learn about feminism & patriarchy- in an engaging and comprehensive manner which makes important issues widely available.

Greta Gerwig you will always be famous.

[snoopysfriendwoodstock]

barbie is not a feminist because she’s a doll, but your memories are real & they matter & they’re barbie

[theravenclawgal]

*everyone talking about how the end of the barbie movie was actually really sad, emotional, and heartfelt*

*me who's first thought leaving the theatre was where can I buy a "i am kenough hoodie"*

forever thinking about Jude “i would've read your love letters every single night” Duarte and Cardan “prayed to God you'd be coming home alright, you would've been fine, we would've been timeless” Greenbriar ...

[theravenclawgal]

there’s just something about Emily Henry books that feels like a warm, tight hug. Idk how to describe it but reading her books is like sleeping to the sound of rain and never wanting to wake up because you are so comfortable under your two blankets with your multiple stuffed toys that you feel like waking up would destroy the start to your perfectly relaxed mood. I can proudly say that she is definitely my comfort author.

“My child is completely fine” Your child writes self-insert/ x reader fanfic and obsessively checks the notes to make sure people like it

I was 100% born in the right generation. I love watching movies and shows and then going online and finding edits of little snippets to some of my favorite songs.

I have a folder of all my favorite edits divided by movie/tv show/book series and I love scrolling through and seeing those tiny little organized boxes on my screen.

Life doesn't get better than this fr

Is it just me or does having a positive interaction with a stranger scratch a very particular itch? I think it's the reassurance that the world is not split solely into people who already love you and people who never will.

"it was a leader exchange, so Hera had to take Percy" no let's be real here, Annabeth is just as much of a leader at Camp Half-Blood as Percy was. Hera was scared as hell of a pissed-off Percy Jackson on the warpath to get his girlfriend back with all his memories, powers, AND Achilles Curse intact and we should say it
