Writing blog belonging to one Miss Peri
A teacher in New York was teaching her class about bullying and gave them the following exercise to perform. She had the children take a piece of paper and told them to crumple it up, stomp on it and really mess it up but do not rip it. Then she had them unfold the paper, smooth it out and look at how scarred and dirty is was. She then told them to tell it they’re sorry. Now even though they said …they were sorry and tried to fix the paper, she pointed out all the scars they left behind. And that those scars will never go away no matter how hard they tried to fix it. That is what happens when a child bullies another child, they may say they’re sorry but the scars are there forever. The looks on the faces of the children in the classroom told her the message hit home. Pass it on.

SHIT I CAN'T MAKE UP: Convo between my 7year-old students today
- (Names have been altered slightly, just in case.)
- Josie: I have a new crusshhhhh
- Matt: Me too! On a boy!
- Pearl: You're a boy with a crush on a boy?
- Matt: Yeah he's really cute.
- Pearl: Oh.
- (pause for a bit)
- Matt: Boys can like boys. I just can't marry him because boys can't marry boys.
- Me: Yeah they can. You can marry whoever you want.
- Matt: Really?
- Josie: YEAH my tia has a wife so now I have a titi and a auntie.
- Matt: Okay. Then maybe I'll marry him.
- Dave: (from across the room) No you can't you're seven.
- (Age was apparently the only foreseeable problem anyone of my elementary schoolers could see with gay marriage. I almost cried out of happiness. Later, when I was asked if boys could kiss anyone they wanted, I replied "only if they want to kiss you back." And Josie responded "Yeah! Your body your life.")
- My students are the shit.
So I didn’t know that fucking dragons existed. Just look at them. Just fucking look.
They hide under a disguise of feathers and call themselves bearded vultures. But I see through their lies.
Want one as a pet? Well they’d be $9000 dollars, but that’s hypothetical because you simply cannot have one. Also, they like to eat dead parrots and dolphins and that’s out of your budget too. Ablubblubbloo…
Gorgeous.
Always reblog pictures of lammergeiers.
I’ve probably reblogged this already, but I don’t care. Just doing it again to fully appreciate that guy’s face. Although I can’t blame him, I’d be terrified too.

Completely Rational fears about baby Steve Rogers
… This is the greatest thing. The greatest.
I think of this whenever I watch the movie.
Steve honey, just sit in this chair and don’t move. Don’t even scratch your nose.
I love that he has basically every single condition ever.

Okay I’m sorry this is hastily thrown together in Paint but seriously can we talk about these two lines.
I love how in the beginning Stark has no respect for Agent Coulson, dislikes everything he’s working for and with and just wants him gone. He won’t even acknowledge Phil as an entity outside of SHIELD; to him, Phil is the annoying messenger, a nameless lapdog that exists to pester him. And then, after what happens, it actually rattles him. For the first time in the movie, he’s shocked and not mouthing off at somebody. And it’s not just him, either - all of the Avengers up until that point are at odds with each other. There they all are, highly skilled or superpowered up, and what are they doing? Bickering. The guy who actually stands up, fights and takes the hit is just that: a guy. Phil, no superpowers, no back up, and a weapon that he doesn’t even know what it does, goes up against a deity with every odd stacked against him because he’s going to do the right thing no matter what. And he pays for it. Loki gets away and the Avengers are separated, but they come back united. The “push”, as Fury worded it. And suddenly Stark not only has respect for Coulson, but he makes a point of letting Loki know very clearly that what he did to Phil - Phil, not Agent; the joking is over - was a big, big, BIG mistake.
If you ask me, they’re not avenging Earth. They’re avenging Phil.
ANYWAY ENJOY YOUR PHEELS.

STOP SCROLLING PLEASE!
This is important. My friend and I made a bet that if this post gets 2,000 notes by June 15, she would stop harming herself and start eating again. Please, she is my best friend and she is important to me.
I also don’t want you to add all that stupid crap like “reblog if you have a heart”.
We hate that.
I know this is very unlike me, but I care about her a lot, and I want her to know that others care about her too.
Thanks.

True story: His Name is Robert Downey Jr.
I’m willing to go out on a limb here and guess that most stories of kindness do not begin with drug addicted celebrity bad boys.
Mine does.
His name is Robert Downey Jr.
You’ve probably heard of him. You may or may not be a fan, but I am, and I was in the early 90’s when this story takes place.
It was at a garden party for the ACLU of Southern California. My stepmother was the executive director, which is why I was in attendance without having to pay the $150 fee. It’s not that I don’t support the ACLU, it’s that I was barely twenty and had no money to speak of.
