Here's to the disabled people who aren't inspirations. Who aren't "overcoming their diagnosis" and achieving incredible things "despite their disability." Here's to the people struggling in school. Here's to the people on sick leave. Here's to the dropouts. The unemployed. The ones on welfare and disability. The ones who are economically dependent on others. The ones in the hospitals and the group homes. Here's to the ones whose struggles aren't lessened by extraordinary abilities and achievements. Here's to the ones struggling - and failing - to be average. I see you, and I hope you know that you are just as worthy of respect, support and compassion as anybody else - cause you are! Not being able to do certain things doesn't make you less of a person.
all queer history on here is just US-American or maybe sometimes some UK history as well and it makes me sad that there’s so little information about other countries’ queer history on here :(
Re-watching The Dead Poets Society when you are no longer 14 and actually know who Walt Whitman hits different.
why do i picture young robert sean leonard as the protagonist in every dark academia novel
Got stung by a wasp (6 times) while tearing apart our old barn and I tied scrap fabric around my arm where it got stung and honestly? Feel like a hot video game avatar.
A Study on Richard Cameron, if you want to call it that
I know he was a stick in the mud, and he was also a buzzkill, but he was no older or younger than the rest of them. Probably eighteen/seventeen years old.
You see from the beginning, he was always trying to help with homework, and he was studious. That’s not a bad thing in any sort.
He WANTED to be in the Dead Poets. He WANTED to participate and have fun.
He was their friend. A dear friend, however ornery he may be.
Now, one may be thinking: ‘He blamed Keating for Neils death!’ Yes, he did. But I also blamed the doctors for my Papas death, which was completely unavoidable.
One of the five stages of grief is Anger. He was angry, hurt, and didn’t know what to do. He probably heard others blaming Keating.
Cameron was seventeen, maybe eighteen. He was a child. He was always a follower. He followed what others said. And others said Mr Keating and the Dead Poets.
Cameron was a Dead Poet. He probably was blaming himself even more than Keating.
rip oscar wilde. you would’ve loved timothee chalamet
I wouldn't normally comment on the met gala outfits openly but. In defence of Elliot Page. I feel like a lot of people are missing that this is his first gala since coming out as transmasc and even without considering the green rose in his lapel (an obvious dual oscar wilde green carnation and prom flower reference), his outfit Yells "teen trans boy's first prom suit, borrowed/bought a size too large because it was the smallest available". The obviously overlong sleeves. The cut of the jacket collar. The overlong suit pants. The massive chunky black sneakers. The massive green rose in his lapel.
There's no way it isn't an intentional exaggeration of the young american transmasc experience. He understood the assignment, you all just aren't understanding him
MY TA SHOT SOMEONE IN THE FOOT AND THE PROFESSOR WAS SO FUCKING QUICK LMAOOO
