uhhhh no offense but think about what you say to kids because like… when I was a kid all I heard was my friends saying “no one wants to hear you sing shut up” until fifth grade I was singing under my breath “we will rock you” by KISS because I had one of those toothtunes toothbrushes that played it and my teacher stopped me and was like… do that again. And I thought I was in trouble because no one wanted to hear me sing so I didn’t at first but she kinda coaxed me into it and once I sang it she was like “that’s good! That’s actually really good, sorry, I’m a little surprised! Wow!” And it literally changed my whole life I immediately ran off to try and join the talent show (I was too late) and I did honor choir and joined choir in 6th grade and here I am now, doing a bachelors in music education with an emphasis in voice, and looking at doing my masters in musical theater performance. I owe literally everything to the fact that my 5th grade math/homeroom teacher stopped me and made me sing a little for her and took that time to tell me that I was good at it. That was a 2 minute interaction that I doubt she even remembers but it literally changed my entire life.

tl;dr: the things you say can have the most profound effect on a kids life. Think about what you’re saying the next time you tell a kid something. You never know if that 30 second interaction is going to affect their life forever, so why not make it a good one, huh?

“Millennials are killing this industry!”

Nope. You’re a capitalist, and capitalism runs on supply and demand. Your industry not adapting to our needs or not providing anything we need or want is part of that supply and demand equation. Previous generations didn’t “kill the chariot” industry because cars became a more viable and faster way of travel.

The “killing industries” articles are a way for these corporations to play victim and pretend that their complete uselessness in the modern age – like diamonds in jewelry – is a problem caused by consumers rather than taking responsibility for their products failing to sell for numerous reasons.

I reblog this every time I see it. I just cant

THIS IS WHERE THE MEME CAME FROM

Seriously, though, the French LOVED Edgar Allan Poe,
thanks in particular to Jules Verne.

He even wrote a sequel to Poe’s only novel,
and numerous essays about how great an author Poe was.

By all accounts, Poe (who lived a penniless life in the US)
really *was* baffled by all of this.

Reblogging because I never saw that part before!
