I love coming back here and just adding random updates, but my current hyperfixation is heartstopper, and this interaction is currently having me howling

Nick: I’m going on a date with this girl

Nicks mom: oh do you like her?

Nick: her dog died

Nicks mom:

Oscar winner Olivia Coleman. Absolutely fucking in love

I’m realizing that I could have been peak 2012 in 2012 and the fact that I didn’t just means I would’ve been too powerful if I did

Today is the anniversary of the beginning of the Newsboy Strike of 1899

And while you listen to Newsies for the umpteenth time today, I ask you to remember those very young, very real newsboys who started it all.

When Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst decided to raise the price of a newsboy bundle of papers from 50 cents per hundred to 60 cents, purely to increase the sales of their newspaper. They didn’t think about the toll that would take on the kids that hauled their papers around, selling them for pennies to support themselves and families. These newspaper tycoons didn’t think those boys would realize how unfair that was on them. They clearly didn’t think they were smart enough.

On July 21, 1899, a bunch of angry kids with no money refused to sell those newspapers, demanding that the owners of the papers lower the price back. Within weeks, that small group of kids turned into 5,000 that successfully stopped traffic from coming across the Brooklyn bridge. Not only did that stop paper distribution in the city, but also in most New England cities, which is a HUGE feat. The newspapers tried to get men to sell the papers, but even those men sided with newsboys and refused to sell

After two weeks, Pulitzer & Hearst and the newsboys came to an agreement: the price would not be lowered, but the newspaper companies would now buy back all unsold newspapers; and on August 2, 1899, the strike ended.

The story of the strike is SO. IMPORTANT. These boys are among the earliest examples of not only unions, but among youth rights. These kids brought to light the awful conditions in which the youth of cities worked. They slaved away rain or shine, snow or sleet, well or sick, night or day. And those newsboys didn’t even work in factories, where lives were at risk with all of the dangerous equipment being operated by children. There were no breaks, no provided water or snacks, or anything that we now take for granted because we are used to having our rights as workers respected, thanks in part to these newsboys.

Not only that, but these boys are one of the earliest examples of youth movements! These kids…these CHILDREN…were able to effectively shut down aN ENTIRE. CITY. More importantly, they shut down New York. They are proof of the power that youth can have when banded together. So if you ever think that your voice doesn’t matter, think of these boys and how a few turned into thousands.

I know when we think of Newsies, we think of beautiful dancing gay boys who belt their hearts out about Santa Fe. But today, think about the very real boys who slaved for their rights, and ultimately our rights. Because of their strike, our rights are now respected as working individuals of this country. Because of their strike, the rights of the youth of this country are now respected.

Thank you. Thank you to the boys who refused to be stepped on. Thank you to the boys who refused to give up. Thank you to the boys who stopped the World.

You: Peter B Parker was the father figure to Miles Morales.

Me, an intellectual: Miles Morales was the son figure to Peter B Parker. Miles already had his two biggest supporters in his Dad and Uncle, who, when the spider people were discouraging, were the first people to tell Miles how great he is and how much he’s capable of, which ultimately led to his Leap of Faith. Peter, on the other hand, needed Miles to show him that he’s capable of changing and growing into the person he wants to be for MJ and for himself.

Finished the owl house 😭 and honestly I need dana and the whole team to go absolutely nuts and just reveal every single thing that didn’t make it into the series because of time, everything they wanted to include, every storyboard and sketch for what the original plan was. I want to know what we missed out on. I will forever be crying in lost episodes. That being said the final product was absolutely incredible.

#the owl house #toh #dana terrace #i need closure #spoilers in the tags #proceed at your own risk #listen I just want to know if they wanted to make huntlow kiss #I want to know if they wanted raeda to kiss #what other ships would have gotten more time #and also just give me every single piece of willow park lore #Willow means so much to me please just give me all the Willow lore

„Reliable people need someone to rely on too! Just let it out, we'll be fine!“ - Gus Porter

In case yall didnt know, Willow Park is one of my favorite characters. And I’m so glad that her arc finally came to a closure. I think it’s beautiful that this episode displayed how years of bullying and self doubt can still affect somebody, even if this person grows into a more confident and secure version of themself. Her journey of being introduced as an insecure young girl turning into a strong witch developing the toxic mentality of never showing any kind of weakness (because of the fear of being seen as incapable) is interesting and very realistic for a lot of people.

Additionally, I’m a big fan of the emerald trio and glad that Hunter and Gus were the first one to witness Willow being vulnerable. They know she needed this, and they would never think of her as weak despite of it 💚💙💛 it’s a very well written and equal trio. Much love to the writers ✨

Lucius and Black Pete being adorable

#really pulling for this reunion #and REALLY pulling for an angry Pete when he realizes Blackbeard did what he did #ofmd #lucius spriggs #black pete #lucius x pete

[fuckin-georg]

we talk about black pete being lucky to have lucius, but you know, lucius is lucky to black pete too. I mean this man fucking whittled a finger for him, he wants to protect lucius, he's supportive of his art, he looks at lucius like he hung the stars in the sky, "im used to death but not your death", he calls lucius 'babe', he's so affectionate with him, he loves lucius so so so much. he's literally the perfect man for lucius
