not to be naive but it still shocks me when people are so apathetic and cruel towards others like .. you’re literally rotting on the inside … , hope you feel better soon ?
the idea that anyone who approaches sex in an unconventional way (asexuals, kinky people) is LGBT is a direct product of the perception of gay sex as deviant and strange
This is very important if you’re ever in a situation similar this pretend that you’re dead don’t scream and @#!*%
my dad told us this if someone shoots up our school
SUPER IMPORTANT
BEST TIP
PLEASE REMEMBER THIS
not even a joke we learned this in Police Explorers and put it on your clothing as well but go quickly because you don’t know where the person is.
This is what school children in America are taught. That is so wrong on so many fucking levels and there are still people who believe gun control in any form is a bad thing.
let me reiterate SCHOOL CHILDREN IN A SUPPOSEDLY FIRST WORLD COUNTRY ARE TAUGHT THE SAME THINGS AS PEOPLE IN ACTIVE WAR ZONES BECAUSE THE THREAT OF BEING KILLED IN A SHOOTING IS SO HIGH.
the bit in caps here is making me rethink my stance on gun control
shit
I’m reblogging this because as my follower count goes up, the odds of this saving a life do too.
My elementary school had drills telling us what to do in such an emergency. This is exactly what they told us. AND NOW FOR A FACT: IN CALIFORNIA YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REGISTER A SHOTGUN!
1) the music 2) how does the person in there even see? 3) also skating over its own tail 4) how is NO ONE on the ice fazed by this at all? 5) skating over its own tail 6) also is it hot in there? 7) there is a freaking T-Rex on the ice- how is no one staring?
8) going so fast the head tips right back so it looks like it’s permanently screaming
The sign of high quality is the fact the book was banned by the government. Trash literature NEVER EVER had any troubles with the law.
FARENHEIT 451 IS ON THE BANNED BOOKS LIST???
IT’S LITERALLY ABOUT THE SOCIETAL DANGERS OF BANNING/OUTLAWING/BURNING BOOKS
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME
That’s the reason it’s on the bloody list.
BECAUSE IT’S ABOUT HOW BANNING AND BURNING BOOKS IS WRONG.
Call of the Wild. Are you fucking kidding me?? But then, a group that bans Fahrenheit 451 will apparently ban EVERYTHING.
Sometimes we need to read something problematic so we can fucking LEARN FROM IT….
What has always fascinated me are the areas that initiate the Banning of said books. In the USA, these books are typically banned in Southern states that suffer from extreme have/have-not’s, racism, and “Christian Values”.
The core mindset in these areas is Racism and in keeping their “slaves” in a “docile” environment to remove the threat of an uprising. It’s why Representatives and Gov leaders from those environments push so hard to control the internet, media, etc…
They don’t want the masses “waking up” and realising it’s not the 1850s anymore. They don’t want Civil Rights to be a basic Human Right. How dare women seek worlds beyond the kitchen and making progeny.
TL;DR: Instead of being upset at a book being on a list, ask WHY the book was deemed so intolerable in the area it was banned and see what changes can be made for the betterment of humanity in that environment
^very interesting and likely true. I’m from a sapphire-blue Northern state and read at least 15 of these books through middle school and high school. Admittedly I was in Honors/AP Lit, but still. They have significant value, and it’s so frustrating to see that in 2017 we’re still tiptoeing around the contributions of literature because “it’s a little controversial/problematic”. Like… exactly. That’s how people LEARN, especially if those controversial issues are part of the cultural fabric and aren’t often addressed.
