Happy 30th Anniversary to a film that had a massive impact on my life.
I truly believe that this film was the push I needed to follow my passion. That may seem silly to others. “It’s a film, you can’t base your life around it”. That is 100% true. However, I didn’t base my life around it. This film inspired me to pursue the life I had already been longing for. (My phone call from God?)
As an English Literature major in her Sophmore year of college (on nearly a full ride honors scholarship), this movie has stayed with me over the years. I hope someday that I can inspire young people like Keating inspired the boys. The movie carries so many important messages about the importance of expression through writing, finding your own interests, and standing up for yourself. I believe that every student and their parents should see this film at least once.
So, to the Dead Poets Society-
Thank you for all you’ve inspired me to become. In the film, Mr. Keating says “words and ideas can change the world”. I know that the words and ideas in this film helped change mine.
Thank you for giving me the push I needed to wholeheartedly pursue my interests, regardless of what others say, or what paycheck it brings. I promise that when I’m an English professor someday in the future, this film will be used in class.
CARPE DIEM.
Oh PLEASE do

I would like some friends / people to send memes back and forth with
My dad keeps saying that Dead Poets Society is boring as hell and my mum won’t stop watching her cheesy 90s sitcoms using the TV box thing where we have movies and shows. I have been dying to watch that movie for months now.
I only forgive them a little bit because they’re watching Umbrella Academy season 2 so yeah-
What if we flooded the Trump hashtags with random content so that it just eradicates the actual Trump content
that way we dont let the fear mongering consume people
just an idea. Anybody in?
Also if you support or condone Trump and his actions in any way...unfollow me right now. I don’t care that I’m Canadian. I am not afraid to lose 10.5K followers for something I believe in.
I believe in human rights, and Trump supporters do not.
I know this was about hurricane Ophelia, but this is relevant at anytime.
Ireland: Ah sure it’ll be grand
Narrator: Things were not grand
I hate people involving disabled people in pro-choice and pro-life arguments. You all have sterilized disabled people against their wills. You have raped disabled people and forced them to carry children. You have made disabled people’s lives harder with your laws or lack thereof. You don’t get to use ableist logic to justify a pregnant person’s right to choose, nor do you get to use the suffering of a real living disabled people to justify abortion when you could just leave it a ‘pregnant person’s right to choose’ because that’s really all you need. And pro-lifers don’t get to use disabled fetuses as a pity card when they don’t help disabled kids at home or in foster care.
If you’re able-bodied, this topic is too nuanced for you and you will always screw it up. So leave disabled people out of your petty arguments unless you are sharing something they wrote.
Stay in your lane and stop saying ableist things to justify your point of view.
I’m pansexual which means I’m attracted to me
No the fuck I’m not-
I'm asexual which means I'm attracted to the exit.
Well...I mean...accurate?
alexei deserved better reblog if you agree
I work at a daycare with infants.
One of our baby girls is fat, in the 99th percentile for her age. She is super cute and sweet. Lately, she has been sick with various breathing issues, so she has been reluctant to take her bottles. Normally, she’ll take 4 ounces of formula at lunch and 8 ounces in the afternoon. Today, I was lucky to get to her take 5 all day.
There was a substitute covering a lunch break in my classroom today. We emphasized to her that we need to keep trying to get the baby to drink her bottle until she finished it. She said, “Why are you guys so worried about taking her bottle?”
My coworker replied, “That’s where all her nutrients are. She needs the nutrients and the water.”
To which the substitute replied, “But she’s so fat. She doesn’t need it.”
Thin privilege is a small, pretty baby getting better childcare because the caretaker doesn’t think she’s too fat to be allowed to eat.
