I remember some YouTuber tweeting like “TV shows are too political these days old shows like Fresh Prince didn’t have all this sjw bullshit” and like the first episode will and uncle phil talk very sternly about malcom x
If anything, sitcom shows even from Disney esp if they're black were bold in your face political about societal issues
ima just leave these here
Making hard truths relatable/digestible is important and Fresh Prince did a phenomenal job.
“I grew up in Australia. For the first twenty-three years of my life, I lived and worked and partied within the space of a mile. I had no goals. I went out every night of the week. But then in 2007 I went to visit a friend in Japan. It was my first time on a plane, and suddenly I became addicted to the feeling of seeing something new. I’ve travelled to fifty-one countries over the past ten years. From March to October I work as a bartender on a small Scottish island. I don’t take days off. And that allows me to save enough money for another six months of travel, as long as I book far in advance. And stay in hostels. And limit myself to two meals a day. I always avoid the expensive attractions. My favorite thing to do is sit in parks. After this I’m headed to Niagara Falls. Then it’s up to Alaska. I’m not sure what the end goal is. I don’t have a bucket list. I don’t feel the need to see every country. In the beginning I was running away from my partying. But now I’m just addicted to the unfamiliar. Most of my friends are starting families and settling into their careers. And I don’t have any savings. So there are definitely times when I question if it’s worth it, but never while I’m traveling.”
- they will wiggle their eye stalks in excitement - they have favorite places to sleep and favorite friends to sleep with - they’re good for your skin so let them run around on ur face!!! - they can feel their shells, which means they can feel u pet them (pet gently!!) - u can help a snail with a broken shell by giving it eggshells or cuttlebones to scrape (the calcium helps them patch up!) - they like a change of scenery and will explore all day if u change something - absolute cuddle bugs. love to snuggle with u, with friends, with dirt - u can hear them chew!! listen closely when u feed them….. asmr - as distinct as snowflakes, every single one is different!! i can tell all of my snails apart easily - babies. absolute baby children - speaking of babies, baby garden snails are no bigger than raindrops and translucent… delicate!! keep in a separate enclosure until they’re bigger!! baby jail!!! - some snails are shy……… kiss them. they are important
when you hear “the U.S. government is gassing children at the border,” if your immediate reaction is to say “yeah those scumbag parents brought their children to use as human shields” you’re racist. like there is no other explanation for leaping past the obvious conclusion that people are obviously going to take their fucking children with them when they’re migrating to another country. there is no other explanation other than you do not view these people as human. all disagreements with this post can be redirected to your ass hole
