Fred Rogers ladies and gentleman!

Here are some interesting facts about him:

He basically saved public television. In 1969 the government wanted to cut public television funds. Mister Rogers then went to Washington where he gave an amazing merely six minute speech. By the end of the speech not only did he charm the hostile Senators, he got them to double the budget they would have initially cut down. The whole thing can be found on youtube, a video called “Mister Rogers defending PBS to the US Senate.”

“Certain fundamentalist preachers hated him because, apparently not getting the “kindest man who ever lived” memo, they would ask him to denounce homosexuals. Mr. Rogers’s response? He’d pat the target on the shoulder and say, “God loves you just as you are.” Rogers even belonged to a “More Light” congregation in Pittsburgh, a part of the Presbyterian Church dedicated to welcoming LGBT persons to full participation in the church.”

According to a TV Guide piece on him, Fred Rogers drove a plain old Impala for years. One day, however, the car was stolen from the street near the TV station. When Rogers filed a police report, the story was picked up by every newspaper, radio and media outlet around town. Amazingly, within 48 hours the car was left in the exact spot where it was taken from, with an apology on the dashboard. It read, “If we’d known it was yours, we never would have taken it.”

Once, on a fancy trip up to a PBS exec’s house, he heard the limo driver was going to wait outside for 2 hours, so he insisted the driver come in and join them (which flustered the host). On the way back, Rogers sat up front, and when he learned that they were passing the driver’s home on the way, he asked if they could stop in to meet his family. According to the driver, it was one of the best nights of his life—the house supposedly lit up when Rogers arrived, and he played jazz piano and bantered with them late into the night. Further, like with the reporters, Rogers sent him notes and kept in touch with the driver for the rest of his life.

As for the original photo, Mister Rogers wasn’t insulting anyone by flipping them the bird; he was playing a teaching game. As you can see if you follow this link to YouTube, there’s an old video clip of him sitting at a table with some small children. As a woman offscreen sings, to the tune of “Frère Jacques”, “Where is pointer?…Where is ring finger?” and so on, Mister Rogers and the children respond by sticking out whatever finger is is called for, tapping it with their other hand, and saying “Here I am.” “Here I am” is repeated twice, so those playing have to stick out the required finger on each hand. The middle finger is called “tall man” by the song.

I’m sure Mister Rogers knew the implication of extending the middle finger (though the serious faces of the children as they try to do what the song says suggests that they’re not conscious of it). But the intent to tell anyone to fuck off? Not there.

and bc he treated the middle finger as just another finger, the kids probably DIDNT go around randomly flipping ppl off bc it’s just another finger right?? i love it

It’s okay to change your yes to a no. Yes’s aren’t permanent. They’re something we choose again and again, each and every day. Something we have the right to recall and reconsider as soon as saying yes no longer feels conducive to our wellbeing and happiness. It d.oesn’t matter whether you said yes to a job, a date, a relationship, sex, a favor to a friend, a social endeavor, or a vow of silence — you don’t ever have to commit to something that forces you to compromise who you are and what feels right; especially if it’s something you agreed to under pressure, intimidation, or force. Changing your yes to a no might make people angry. It might hurt their feelings, cause them to see you as a flake, and result in lost connections. But if saying no means staying true to yourself, honoring your feelings, and making self-care a priority, it’s worth it. You are worth it. Don’t let anyone convince you otherwise

I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.

Tumblr implementing early 2000′s advertisements but theres no way to actually incorporate them into the website’s theme/identity without it all falling apart so of course the next best tactic is to put a giant ugly picture frame around the fucking thing

My favorite part about this is that everyone on my dash still has adblock turned on and by default as of now it does not remove the picture frame graphic itself from the dash so everyone is wondering what it’s doing there in the first place like everyone’s saying how “tumblr just messed up by not making this work” but actually seeing it function properly is somehow much worse.
