Sisters, Who Once Studied TEFL in Germany

Known today as the basis for adorable trinkets and collectables, Kewpie dolls and cartoons were a wholesome cultural phenomenon. Artist Rosie O'Neill described Kewpie as “a benevolent elf who did good deeds in a funny way" in her autobiography.

Wholesome though they were, O'Neill also used her Kewpie characters to promote women's suffrage, critique elitism, and advocate for marginalized communities. In particular, Kewpie lent celebrity to the suffragist cause and helped reshape feminism in the popular imagination.

because it's genuinely insane the things i've heard americans say 'america doesn't have' when it's just factually incorrect.

for some perspective: during my longest move i did by-car in the u.s., i drove ~3,000 miles. That's ~4,800 km. It took nearly 50 hours drive-times alone. Meaning, if I could have driven without stopping once, it would have taken nearly 50 hours. Of course I split that up over several days.

Driving that same distance here, If there's a ferry+road from Rabat (in Morocco) to Kyiv (Ukraine), I could take it and keep on going another several hours.

So you can understand how silly it is for someone from the u.s. to be asked to answer a question on behalf of the entirety of the u.s.—geographically, culturally, etc.

So now that we've said all that, I need you to know that I listened to a guy from Idaho tell an Irish person today, "yeah, we just don't really get snails much in America."
