THE PICTURE OF PETER AND LARA JEAN CUDDLING THAT SHE HAD ON HER LOCK SCREEN IS ACTUALLY A PICTURE OF NOAH AND LANA NAPPING TOGETHER ON THE SET TAKEN BY ONE OF THE CREW MEMBERS DO YOU HEAR ME SCREAMING AAAAAAAAAAA

I like how everybody is paired off haha

#this looks more like an awkward sixth grade slow dance than it does hockey

I FINALLY FOUND OUT WHY THIS HAPPENS. You see this all the time when there’s a fight or a scrum and suddenly everyone pairs up with a member of the opposite team and they just sort of …hold each other.

Someone on reddit asked about it. And it turns out there’s a logical-ish reason:

so now we know! it’s fair…and cute.

Aw best part is no ones left out at this dance

#hockey hugs #more or less #:)))))))) #where’s that one of Karlsson and Mike Green #that one’s priceless

=DDD

#pure

NHL: You need to prevent other player’s from joining in the fight, make sure to hold them back

Hockey players, hugging: Got it.

THE LEGENDARY STORY OF THE TROJAN HORSE DOES NOT INVOLVE THE GREEKS GIVING THE HORSE TO THE TROJANS AS A GIFT. THE GREEKS’ DECEPTION WAS ACTUALLY THAT THEY LEFT THE HORSE AS AN OFFERING TO THE GODDESS ATHENA. 

IN THE LEGEND, THEY BASICALLY SENT SOMEONE TO TROY TO SAY “THIS HORSE IS FOR ATHENA, NOT YOU, SO OUR RETREAT BACK TO GREECE IS SAFE. DON’T TRY TO TAKE IT. IT WON’T FIT THROUGH THE GATES OF YOUR CITY, SO THERE’S NO WAY YOU DICKS CAN STEAL IT AND PRETEND YOU GOT IT FOR ATHENA. NOT FOR TROJANS.”

AND THEN TROY WAS LIKE “YOU’RE NOT OUR DAD. WE WON THIS WAR AND WE’RE TAKING YOUR STUPID HORSE AS A TROPHY SO WE’LL ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW BAD GREECE IS AT DESTROYING TROY.” 

AND A FEW TROJANS WERE LIKE “THIS IS A TRICK” AND TRIED TO EXPOSE IT AS A TRICK BUT THE REST OF THE TROJANS WOULD HAVE NONE OF IT BECAUSE EVERYONE WAS SWEPT UP IN THE THRILL OF VICTORY, AND ALSO BECAUSE THE GODS KEPT SENDING SNAKES TO STRANGLE ANYONE WHO SAID ANYTHING, BECAUSE THE GREEK GODS HAD NO WORD FOR “SUBTLETY”

THEN AT NIGHT ALL THE GREEKS JUMPED OUT OF THE HORSE LIKE “WE TOLD YOU NOT TO TAKE THE HORSE, WHY ARE YOU SUCH PRIDEFUL DICKS” AND BURNED DOWN THE WHOLE CITY

This makes a lot more sense

THIS IS DOPE S/O TO CHEERIOS

THIS. There are so many fucking latinos who can not speak Spanish. Like wtf. As a Latina who CAN speak Spanish it makes me both mad and sad that so many don’t know their native tongue, like I go places with my friends and we see other groups of friends; latinos, Japanese, Koreans, Chinese, Cambodian, Thai, French, German and Italians are just some of the groups of friends I’ve met/seen and aside from the latinos every single one of them have always spoken their native tongue, every embeber of that group. Latinos are some of the most proud people of their culture and yet the majority in the US don’t know or even understand the biggest part of our cultures, the language. I’ve also met people who are embarrassed of their language, always latinos; a greater majority within the minorities. Why? Why are you all so embarrassed of where you came from? How are you so proud of the worse parts of (EEUU) latino culture like cholos/cholas and Pachuca/Pachucas and even the typical préganáncy age, yet those same people don’t embrace their culture, are embarrassed by their language and even more embarrassed by any sort of association to their culture, like music. No lo entiendo, es algo que fastidia y quisiera cambiar porque yo amo a mi cultura. Yo amo la tierra de donde vine y de donde vinieron mis padres y sus padres. Son mis raises y nunca se deben olvidar. Me entristezco pensando en la posibilidad de perder nuestras culturas tan maravillosas e imaginablemente importantes.

No offense but this is sometimes out of their control. Some parents don’t teach their children their native tongue (like mine) because they want them to assimilate better to Western society. Did any of us ask for this? No. Everyday I wish I could turn back time and have been taught it when I could have absorbed it more easily but that’s impossible. 

Please don’t look down on people that can’t speak their native tongue. As you grow older, it’s a lot harder to learn a language, even if you have been surrounded by it your whole life. It’s frustrating when your relatives speak to you and you can’t respond or understand, or when you go back to your homeland and you need someone to translate for you, or when people look at you in disgust claiming you are “whitewashed”. Some people don’t ask for this; in fact they wish they can speak their language and be connected to their culture more than anything but it’s VERY DIFFICULT.

I agree that being embarassed by your culture is very unfortunate however a lot of it is based on assimilation. Kids feel the need to assimilate to Western society and as a result, they become embarassed of their culture, especially for the fact that many are belittled for certain parts. In a society where your culture and its elements are belittled, it’s not exactly easy to fit in. It’s unfortunate but sometimes out of their control. 

Not everybody that can’t speak their native tongue is embarassed of their culture. And what is this gifset even trying to say? “She’s white and can speak this language so you should be embarassed because she’s more this culture than you?” I’m really sick of seeing things like this because honestly, I’m sick of being ashamed of something I’ve been struggling to do all of my life. Speaking your language and connecting to your culture can be VERY VERY difficult to do for a lot of diaspora (especially with assimilation to Western society) so please don’t invalidate and look down on people’s struggles. Thank you!!!

^^^ My mother taught me Cantonese and i knew it fluently, as soon as we moved to Australia i was teased so much and at a young age racial slurs were thrown at me. I stopped speaking Cantonese and i now only know very little. Now i get told i do not dress “asian” and cannot speak my native tongue so i am therefore white washed. My sister did not learn Cantonese because my mum didnt want her to go through the same thing i did. Please dont fuel the whole “if you cant speak your native tongue you are an outcast”. Thank you!!!!

Thank you!!! Finally someone put it into words!

Besides parents on their own deciding to not teach their kids Spanish, the large number of Hispanics who can’t speak Spanish is also somewhat deliberate in some parts of the US. Especially in the south and the far West, schools would punish kids severely for speaking anything that wasn’t English (corporeal punishment, we’re talking a generation or two ago). This is happens in a less physical way even in recent years. I live in Texas and I know latinx people from Amarillo who were actively discouraged by teachers and administration to not speak Spanish. Some can barely communicate with their parents.

(As a side note, some schools still also do their best to eliminate accents)

The more generations a latinx family has been here, the more likely they’ve been to a school like this and thus, more likely they speak little Spanish and definitely will not value Spanish as something to teach their kids. They see Spanish (and Hispanic accents!!!) as something that gets made fun of and beat out of you. English (with no foreign accent!!), on the other hand, they see as the language of success.

It’s essentially never the kid’s fault. It’s always the xenophobia of the area and the ingrained linguistic associations that the parents have.

my heart goes out to billie lourd as she mourns not only the loss of her mother but her grandmother as well

And Debbie Reynolds son, Todd. Who not only lost his sister & childhood friend, but while planning the funeral for her, lost his mother & will now be planning her funeral. He lost the two most important women in his life in 2 days. I can’t believe this is real.
