PV FOR 2ND SEASON of JJK ANIME
Actually, this deserves its own post because the way Abbott Elementary handled Melissa's character in this episode is genuinely some of the best dyslexia representation I have ever seen on TV.
She's not a little kid who overcomes her disability as an adult. Her dyslexia doesn't give her superpowers (weirdly common trope). She isn't portrayed as stupid by the show or the other characters because of it. She's a competent adult who has developed coping mechanisms to deal with her disability and is still shown to struggle sometimes despite that! Oh my god is that refreshing!
Also, Melissa being competitive about the reading challenge and Barbra's comment about how good she is at engaging kids in reading is totally recontextualized by the reveal that she has a learning disability and especially the reveal that she was probably teased for her LD as a kid (which I'm also so happy that they brought up - I don't think most people realize how competitive elementary schools tend to make reading, and how shitty and ostracizing that can be for kids who struggle with it). Winning the book challenge is important to her because it's something she used to really struggle with. She's good at getting kids to read because she can relate to their challenges in a personal way. They directly tie her LD to her strengths as a teacher without it being fantastical or over-emphasized and I can't even begin to tell you how much I love it!
The bit at the end where she says "you know how sometimes I have to read things a few times" to Janine, in the break room with no students present is also a great scene because it shows her LD in an adult, professional context. It's a conversation that I, and every dyslexic person I know, has had with their co-workers at some point. I just love that they make a point of normalizing her LD in an adult workplace setting that's separate from the classroom and away from the kids.
This season has done an awesome job talking about disability generally but the choice to give not just a student, but one of the teachers an LD was an absolutely perfect move. I really hope this gets brought up in later episodes and isn't just a one-off.
I teared up when she showed her student how she copes with her LD and it really made me love this show even more. It’s so so so damn good.
please pelase with sound on im begging you listen to the sound kobeni makes you have to

GLASS ONION: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY (2022)
in honour of Kevin Conroy, here is one of my favourite batman scenes of all time.
RIP Kevin Conroy, you will be so missed 💛
Henry leaving The Witcher is just so goddamn bizarre.
Man posts a vague insta announcement and doesn’t give any reasoning as to WHY he’s leaving a show he’s supposedly in love with….
DAYS after an ex-writer said the writer’s room of The Witcher openly hated the source material.
And when everyone knows S2 was a HOT MESS because they ignored said source material.
I know folks are saying it’s schedule conflict or money with Superman or whatever.
But Henry was adamant that Geralt was his passion project. He gunned for this role, didn’t take no for an answer. Likely didn’t mind the pay cut, and I mean, he’s a rich white man, so he’s not hurting for cash.
To just up and leave due to scheduling issues? Well then, why not say so in the post? Nah, they could have easily delayed S4 filming if they had to, especially for their lead star.
This is highly sus, and it makes me WORRY for what S3 looks like…
this love is alive back from the dead, these hands had to let it go free, and this love came back to me
(this love, taylor swift)
I hope no one’s done this yet
Also, I sort of created this yesterday on a whim, you can see the quality of the phone art. But I think it fits the meme
But yeah don’t take it too seriously, it was very funny to create :)) also good practice drawing Philip
The Wittebane brothers struggled to fit in with their town, and both were offered a different society by the Demon Realm.
And so was Luz.
But while Caleb and Luz embraced the Demon Realm and the freedom it offered them, and they found a family for themselves,
Philip rejected that freedom. But not only did he reject it, he took it away from Caleb too.
And he almost took it away from Luz.
