Miranda Kerr
Is there any hatred stronger than the rage kids get towards Barney the dinosaur as soon as they are just a little too old for Barney the dinosaur
So, this guy, Martin Pistorius, fell into a coma when he was 12 years old and eventually awoke completely paralyzed, at least physically. He was misdiagnosed. Doctors believed he was in a completely vegetative state, but in reality, he had regained full consciousness and awareness. He just didn’t possess any motor function, so he couldn’t communicate to anyone that he was alive in there. He lived this way for 12 years before he overcame it by sheer force of will and was given the tools to communicate. He tells his story in his book, Ghost Boy. Since then he’s also been the subject of the first episode of Invisibilia on NPR and had his own TedTalk.
Anyway, the breaking point that incited his plan of escape was being forced to watch Barney reruns all day, everyday at his care center. Sitting in front of the TV, he learned to tell the time by the shadows on the wall. If he had time he could know when Barney would end. With the ability to measure his days, he was able to pull himself out of the void and ultimately start down the path to recovery. Today, Martin can communicate whatever he wants with the help of a computer program, but there’s one thing he can’t articulate: “I cannot even express to you how much I hated Barney.”
So it turns out that the primal hatred people have toward Barney is strong enough to pull a disembodied consciousness out of the abyss of existential despair and into the physical world out of pure spite

fourth dimensional girlfriend has curves i cant see or comprehend but i take it on faith that theyre hot as hell
know what I hate? how uni’s have all of these “de-stress events” and preaching about mental health around exams but don’t actual want to fucking do anything about the shitty system of education they’ve created that literally makes kids have anxiety attacks and suicidal thoughts. yes education should be challenging, but it should not compromise your wellbeing for it. it’s like saying “yeah we realize the system is horrible, but here have free hot chocolate, it’ll make everything better”. the education system is flawed and broken and they know it, but they could care less.
*cop voice* listen buddy, i don’t make the rules, i just enforce them arbitrarily in a manner benefitting white supremacy

this is the worst thing anyone has ever said to me. thank you
(white) people on my aou post: aou isn’t that bad, what about ragnarok???
me: i don’t? understand? what the fuck? you mean?
oh we’re still doing this “ragnarok made thor and loki look stupid” thing

things ragnarok did:
- reinvent thor as being a more relatable and fun character with a far more extensive power set as well as making him the star of his own goddamn movie for once without worry about some other character overshadowing him and established that his arcs from the first two movies were realized in the form of him assuming control of his powers on odin’s level – asserting his ultimate worthiness
- introduce valkyrie
- give heimdall more than two minutes of screentime
- destroy asgard
- reintroduce hulk with the ability to speak and show emotion beyond smashing things
- fuck colonialist lives! korg is skinny!
- contain good and funny jokes
- was directed by the mcu’s first director of color
- fix loki’s sad broody boy problem
- make fun of thor: the dark world
