So my mom and I have been working the same waitress job for 5-6 years now. She had been waitressing years before, but this is recently. Anyway, about… 15 minutes ago this guy she waited on left and told her to take care. Just that. Prior to this she had talked to him about Italy. Her people are from Florence, this and that, and she said she’s never been. She’s got 8 years of art education and she’s working a waitress job. It’s pretty… Sad and disappointing, I guess. Her and my father divorced 6 years ago and she hasn’t had a real job ever. Just been stuck in a small town she’s not from.
This man who we have never seen before tipped her 1000 dollars for a trip to Italy. Walked out, not another word.

Why does’t this have more notes

Within the mass of bad things, bad people, and bad situations there is a lot of good things and good people to help you through it. People who want nothing in return other than the knowledge of knowing they made your day.

Snow White from Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs is strong. She is feminists favorite punching bag, right after Aurora but at least every once in awhile someone will come to Aurora’s defense. Snow (and Cinderella frankly) are seen as what is wrong with the Disney princesses. Snow likes cute animals, cooking, cleaning, and a useless dwarf. She befriends seven strange men who end up saving her in the end. Dude, the prince just comes and kisses her. She is stereotypically feminine. She doesn’t go fight for her country. She doesn’t prevent a war from breaking out. Girl is nice to every single person she meets, even the woman who tried to kill her. She felt bad that she scared the animals when they found her crying in the woods. She is kind hearted. She wants to help everyone she meets. Her looking out for others is what got her killed.
All of that being said does not make her weak. Sure, she is a bit naive but she lived a rather sheltered life. The queen had her locked away doing chores all day. When she found out the queen wanted her killed, instead of standing in the field looking at the huntsman, she fucking ran. She ran away to protect herself. She left an abusive home (she lived with the queen in her castle). When she met the dwarfs, she bargained with them so they wouldn’t kick her out. She ran that house. She put the dwarves and animals to work. She was very sweet but she was also the head bitch in charge. Even Grumpy didn’t try to backtalk her.
The fact she needed the dwarfs and animals to save her doesn’t make her weak. Saving yourself is more than just killing the enemy. It is about surviving, which Snow White did. She may not know how to throw a punch, shoot an arrow, or save her country, that doesn’t make her weak. Not every woman can defeat their demons/enemies on their own. Some of them need help from their friends, which the dwarfs and animals were to Snow, to defeat their enemy and that doesn’t make them weak.
Also, girls who prefer Snow White to Merida are not weak or “too girly.” There is no such thing as being “too girly.” Not all girls are going to relate to Merida and that is okay. Not all girls are going to like Snow White. Some girls like both characters. There is nothing wrong with girls liking the classic Disney princesses. There is nothing wrong with girls preferring the newer princesses. What is a problem is when people try to deem what princesses are “good” or “bad.”

Honestly, bravo. This is one of the best posts I’ve seen on tumblr. I hate that people think Snow is weak because she doesn’t perform heroic acts and, like you said, is traditionally feminine.
She managed to escape from the Evil Queen, make the best out of the situation in the woods and befriended the dwarves, and eventually found her Prince and her happily ever after. There is nothing wrong with that.

I am shocked my post has over 400 likes, reblogs, and comments. I didn’t think it would get to 50. 

And honestly cooking, cleaning and just being motherly in general is not a weakness at all. Think of it this way, this girl is 14 years old, and she can do all these chores while being so positive and kind. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW HARD THAT IS!?
Look I’m not really going to lie, I’m not a fan of Aurora mostly because, in my opinion, she lacks personality. Snow White on the other hand does have a very motherly personality and when you think of how she had grown up, it makes sense.
Her mother died, her new mother cared more about her appearance than being an actual mother so Snow White basically turned around and said ‘FUCK THAT! I’ll be my own damn mom!’
There is strength in kindness, patience, and love. It’s hard to do in this mean world we live in and people who can be this way, even when the world tells them they are stupid, earn a huge amount of respect from me.

people in california are not that fucking courteous  we do cuss a lot though. and I’m courteous. Maybe I’m just biased because I work retail and customers are douchnozzles.
I’m nice tho.

I can’t speak for the rest of my state but this is true about NJ and cussing, at least for me.

you know what I want for Season 3? Not a Sterek scene or Sterek moments. I want Ethan to fall in love with Danny. I want him to change sides because he’s seriously fallen for a human he was sent in to seduce and kill.
I want him to stand up against the Pack and refuse to hurt him.

But so help me god, if he hurts one hair on Danny’s head or breaks his heart, I want someone to fuck his shit up.

Laogai, the abbreviation for Láodòng Gǎizào, which means reform through labor, is a slogan of the Chinese criminal justice system and has been used to refer to the use of prison labor and prison farms in the People’s Republic of China. It is estimated that in the last fifty years, more than 50 million people have been sent to laogai camps.
One of the aims of these was the political and ideological reeducation (thought reform, coerce dissenters to embrace the Party and integrate as gears in it), reached through psychological torture and brainwashing.


Avatar is a cartoon for adults.

So my friend tell me that, had I the motivation, I could be an evil mastermind. I’m not exactly sure how to take that as anything other than a compliment.
