okay just stay with me for a second and think about kids whose parents drop them off at conventions or even chaperone them at conventions.
I hear kids now a’days say stuff like “I hope my mom doesn’t see anything weird while she’s dropping me off,” and I find out they define weird as a bearded man in a seifuku or a Jojo cosplayer.
In 2007 you had to pray to god your dad didn’t pull up the the convention center to see Sasuke Uchiha bent over, both hands on the ground, ass in the sky, bracing himself as a Kingdom Hearts character raises a yaoi paddle behind their damn head, readying the swing.
like I am by NO means saying conventions aren’t still wildly surreal reaches deep into a very humid corner of hell
but we’ve definitely managed to claw our way from the inner-circle to maybe, like, the third level.
Some scenes from my favorite bencutio fics of all time, Thou Talk’st Of Nothing & Winter. They’re short and powerful, the writing is superb, and the characters are spot on.
This is illegal. The Supreme Court made decisions against compulsory actions and recitations as far back as 1943. They revisited this type case in 1990, even affirming citizen’s right to burn the flag. This school board won’t stand a chance when the ACLU gets a hold of this.
this was happening in the 00s when we didnt wanna stand for Bush.
i sat during the pledge in NY, and the teacher called the principal. then he came, made vague suspension threats, i challenged him on it, told him to buck, then he’d call security and they’d loom over me, and i’d let them know just what would happen of they put a hand on me. every day they did this. and every day i’d remind their BLACK asses that i came from a country where this shit was illegal for this very reason.
I was almost hit by a substitute teacher for not standing for the pledge while I took a semester of High School in the US.
He didn’t even let me tell him that I was German – he ordered me to sing the national anthem.
So I did. The German one.
That’s when he really exploded, threatened me with expulsion, kept making physically threatening gestures…
Until one of the guys finally managed to yell at him that I was not American.
Then he turned white very fast.
America’s obsession with their nationalism is terrifying.
I just had a grown man tell me to “go make me a sandwich” as I was doing his pourover
I told him I didn’t understand what he meant because we’re a coffee shop, and he was like “oh it’s a joke” and I said I “didn’t get it” and he went “it’s funny because you’re a woman working in a kitchen”
And I just stared at him until he got how stupid he sounded
let them feel their ignorance burn into their souls
THIS article is everything I have EVER pondered about that dress, as a disney fan and as a historical fashion aficionado. THANK YOU.
If Cinderella’s new dress is the dress you’d like to wear at your
wedding, Belle’s new dress is the dress you’d force your bridesmaids to
wear so they would not outshine you.
