pedro: that 13 year old french boy. i speak to him in broken french, he raises an eyebrow and talks back in almost perfect english with a strong accent and a dismissive attitude and ‘ oui it does hurt when you’re moving my wrist like that’ and i think he’s swearing at me in french but i’m bad at french and only know merde so he also might not be. he’s definitely thinking it. 

#Andrew Garfield: The Amazing Spiderman Middle Child

i absolutely think the parents i work with in situations like these are amazing people. they love their kids so much and have given up so much for them. that love is so incredibly strong and amazes me every day. the kids are also wonderful and strong and deserve all the love and support in the world. however some of these parents especially in scenario 1, constantly feel like they are failing their kids, because the system is set up to fail them, and they are expected to be literally superhumans -- so when they experience moments of struggle requiring they take care of themselves, they feel so guilty. so i think it's v important to show that you see how much they are going through and that they are doing as much as they can, because these parents often feel hopeless. if you go around trying to make people think that these aren't significant struggles for the family that other families don't have to go through, you are just pretending that the US has a disability services system that values & supports disabled people, and doesn't function to force disabled people and their families into poverty. if we can't acknowledge the problem, how will we be able to we fix it and improve the quality of life for disabled people and their families?

Interviewer: What do you remember of [Doctor Who] from your childhood? Chris: Very little. I wasn’t a fan of the program, I was always out playing. Interviewer: … you didn’t like it? Chris: No, I didn’t like it, really. I didn’t feel invited into the world. I felt a bit excluded by the posh accent and the stern tone allied with the police box, the air of authority, for this 8-year-old it just didn’t work. So I went out playing. Interviewer: You have decided though to step into the TARDIS - what persuaded you? Chris: Russell T. Davies. My admiration for the scripts of Russell T. Davies – Heaven and Earth Show, ¾/2005

me posting my spotify wrapped: everyone will enjoy this from me, the protagonist of life

I did that job once.

Excuse me, Mister. Doctor. You seem to know what’s going on. I give that impression, yeah. I just wanted to ask. Can you save us? Who are you two then? Stuart Hoskins. Sarah Clark. And one extra. Boy or girl? I don’t know. I don’t want to know, really. How did all this get started? Outside the Beatbox Club, two in the morning. Street corner. I’d just lost my purse, didn’t have money for a taxi. I took her home. Then what? Asked her for a date? Wrote his number on the back of my hand. Never got rid of her since. My dad said… I don’t know what this is all about.

You don’t just give up. You don’t just let things happen. You make a stand. You say “no.” You have the guts to do what’s right when everyone else just runs away.

(Self depreciating comments will be removed at best, bluntly and remorselessly told to shut the fuck up at worst. Fuck around. I dare you.)

Lady Macbeth thinking about her assistance in a murderous coup: god I’m so cringe 😬

Truly a masterclass in harrowingly strained enthusiasm!
