do any of you remember that gumball episode where darwin becomes mega paranoid after watching a health and safety video so to quell his anxiety he goes out of his way to make everything kid friendly and inoffensive by propositioning it as being for the children and then he becomes a fascist at the end

Yesterday, my mother fractured her arm while trying to get aid. I couldn’t go with her because I’m severely malnourished. She smiled through the pain so we wouldn’t worry, but I could see it all in her eyes — and it broke me.

Before the war, my mother was a kindergarten teacher. Today, she’s forced to push through crowds just to bring us something to eat. I’m not writing this to beg for sympathy — I’m writing because we simply can’t endure this alone anymore.

If you’re able to help, even with a small amount, it could make a real difference. Thank you to everyone who shares or supports us in any way.

joining the war on kids reading any book they want on the side of kids reading any book they want. simply you will be fine. it’s even good to be confronted with things you don’t understand and even find upsetting, uncomfortable and difficult. it’s a surprise tool that will help you later.

What I love about 12 Angry Men:

💬 Vast possibility of acting due to limited setting.
🖋 Writing is incredible !

What I don’t like about 12 Angry Men:

🙄 Do we really need another legal drama story?
👨 I’m watching a movie about generic white men again, urgh.

I want a movie that uses 12 Angry Men’s same insanely well crafted limited setting and wonderful writing…

…but it’s about 12 nice witches trying to decide who should feed the neighbour’s cat in a small village in the Alps.

The moon will sing a song for me, I loved you like the sun

Bore the shadows that you made with no light of my own

I shine only with the light you gave me
