man the crazy thing about babies is that like, some people would think that reading a baby a book about farm animals is teaching them about farm animals, but really it’s teaching them about the concept of a book and how there’s new information on each page of a single object, but really, beyond that, it’s teaching them how language works, and beyond that it’s really actually teaching them about human interaction, and really really it’s them learning about existing in a three-dimensional space and how they can navigate that space, but actually, above all it is teaching them that mama loves them.

yes, read to children! all the children in your life will benefit from having books read to them, and from adults spending one-on-one time with them doing a calm and quiet activity, especially if their lives are normally very hectic. reading to and with kids helps foster early literacy skills as well as social and emotional bonds! it’s great!

and there is an amazing and wonderful resource for children to receive free books every month! it’s called Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, and it’s a book gifting program that mails free, high-quality (English language) books to children from birth until age five, no matter their family’s income or status.

the program extends to children in participating locations in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia! because it started in east Tennessee (where Dolly Parton grew up) some of the books will be Christian-oriented, but the vast majority will not be, and sometimes the book will be in both English and Spanish.

if I remember correctly you can sign any child up if you know their name, address, and birthday. it’s a really wonderful program and it has helped lots of kids in rural areas (like where I live in Tennessee) obtain books and build early literacy skills so they will be that more prepared once they go to school.

edit: I was looking through the site and saw that they also offer Audio and Braille books since 2011!!

My youngest brother was reading at age 3 because I was learning to read at the same time so I would read all of my things with him.

getting over heartbreak is different for everyone. some people wait it out, cry it out, laugh because that’s all you can really do, scream to try to release some pain, move on with anyone else. but once you do get over it, it’s so freeing. it is such a relief. keep healing. keep going. once you realize no one should be able to hurt you that badly it’s a good feeling.

Okay but lets illustrate how much white privileged is involved with this story. The weapons this little demon used to kill Grant Nelson were stolen from Walmart. She walked into Walmart, grabbed a machete and a knife, and then just casually walked out the door without anyone attempting to stop her. You get a box of tampons from Walmart and you don’t have it in a bag, they wanna check your receipt. Becky the Sociopath walked out unchecked with literal weapons.

Then she had time to wait outside for the uber this poor man drove to come pick her up. Then she got in his back seat and stabbed him multiple times, pushed him out onto the street, and stole the car. He was able to tell the police who stabbed him before he died. She then crashes the car and is found by the police hiding behind a tree covered in blood. The police try to gently coerce her into dropping her fucking blood covered knives and when she refuses do they shoot her eight times? Oh noooo Lizzy Borden gets tazed and brought in unharmed.

Like just think about the stories that have come out these past two weeks alone. The unarmed black teenager who were literally murdered based on vague suspicion and this girl actually kills someone and is still standing.

The white girl who stole weapons from Walmart and killed an Uber driver was taken alive.

The white guy who took weapons to a convention and planned to kill Jason David Frank and multiple police officers was taken alive.

The white guy who murdered two men who had tried to defend the Muslim women he was harassing was taken alive.

Don’t tell me police had to kill Tamir Rice or Michael Brown or ANYONE else out of caution or fear for their safety. Not when white people who are legitimate threats, even direct threats to police, are routinely taken alive.

see this is why i’m conflicted when people call him a mysterious man of the forest or whatever because he’s literally just like this all the time

Where are his legs

High School Fashion, 1969

What a trip.

Wow these photos are stunning

Some of these outfits are the raddest things I’ve ever seen.

Can we talk about the tights.

The existence of photos like these (and similar photos from the 70s and 80s and so on) makes me wonder yet again why current-day movies set in this time never seem to be able to get the hair and clothing right.
