basic breadstick

kissing can and will, get boring.

its ok to go to sleep on opposite sides.

forgetting favorites, dates and replies is only human.

you dont have to like, or be friends with all of their friends and vice-versa.

they have a right to spend weekends dedicating to their friends and family. you have the same right.

privacy is still in play.

trying simple things that they like, no matter how much you are sure you will dislike it, is a very small step you can take to show your love to them.

you dont gotta have the same taste in music, food, books etc.

saying i love you, thank you, take care, please and i missed you really helps.

you cant agree with all their life decisions and they cant with yours. keeping an open mind and having an honest and deep discussion about it helps. 

they dont need your permission to do things and neither you need theirs.

the intention and care behind the gift matters. not its price tag. 

dont try and change them. help them become better versions of themselves and get the same help and support and care from them. 

REMINDER THAT LAIKA’S SECOND FILM NOT ONLY CONSISTED OF A CAST WITH FOUR CENTRAL FEMALE CHARACTERS BUT INCLUDED AN ENTIRE TOWN OF DIVERSE CITIZENS OF VARYING RACE, GENDER, AND AGE. LIKE A NORMAL TOWN HAS.

REMINDER THAT LAIKA’S THIRD FILM FEATURED SAME SEX COUPLES IN THEIR TEASER TRAILER

REMINDER THAT THIS IS ALL STOP-MOTION SO EVERY CHARACTER WAS DESIGNED, MODELED, SCULPTED, RIGGED, AND EVEN HAD TINY CLOTHES SEWED FOR THEM.

also reminder that they make chump change compared to disney who whines and cries that in all their years of experience they can’t handle the prospect of animating a girl with a face different than the rest and that it’s “too hard” because only females can express such a wide range of emotions that it makes them difficult to animate

As of now global poverty is most popularly identified by the World Bank using an international poverty line, which is a set amount of income said to represent the state of poverty around the world. The World Bank’s IPL is an income of $1.90 a day. According to that, someone is counted as above extreme poverty if they earn more than $1.90 a day. This paints an extremely inaccurate picture of global poverty, as I’ve outlined before, because it is based on absolute destitution, so a person earning above $1.90 a day has not been brought out of poverty at all. In fact, someone could earn a lot above this number and still live in destitution, because affordability of resources is different in every country—and this is done on purpose, the IPL was created as a (lazy) way out of calculating by country and area.

Emo: The world is broken, and I'm sad because there's nothing I can do to fix it.

Goth: The world is broken, but there's an odd beauty in the dark parts.
