React just did an episode where their reactors got to see a full screening of the movie, and it’s great! Especially since over half of the reactors they had (Danny, Morgan, Sharon, Jonathan, and Dionte) are gay and shared their stories and how much the movie affected them. Also everybody was crying.
Swingposium, performed last June in San Jose, was a tribute to Japanese Americans who were involved in swing music and dance while incarcerated in internment camps during World War II.
“Swingposium is essentially a dance as opposed to a concert,” San Jose Taiko Artistic Director Franco Imperial explained in the lead up to the event. “The intention is to celebrate the amazing people who, in the midst of being incarcerated, turned to music and dance as a means of survival. We’ve invited Epic Immersive to help craft a dynamic environment for the audience. This is not a typical show where you sit and passively observe.”
1) I am autistic. There is nowhere that I end and autism begins.
2) Ordinary sights, sounds or touches may be difficult or painful for me. Please be understanding if I ask you to turn the volume down, turn the light off, or not to touch me without warning.
3) If I didn’t catch what you said, it may not be because I’m not listening. I sometimes have trouble processing spoken language, especially when there is background noise.
4) I like routines because I know what to expect. It’s best to not spring surprises on me.
5) Don’t ask me, “Everybody else can do X, so why can’t you?” I am not like “everybody else.” I may not even be like other autistic people.
6) I may have difficulty asking for what I need due to difficulties getting the words out or even just due to anxiety. I don’t mind if you ask me if I need something; just don’t do it every five minutes.
7) I learn better when I can learn MY way. Most people do, even those who aren’t autistic.
8) Just because I’m not making eye contact doesn’t mean I’m not paying attention.
9) Just because I’m autistic doesn’t mean I don’t want to have friends. However, I’m an introvert, and I need time alone to recharge.
10) Ask me about my special interest, but be prepared for a monologue.
i just want to say that dental dam is a fucking awful term. who the fuck wants to go down on someone and think “this is like being a pussy dentist”. in iceland we call them töfrateppi which means magic carpet and is so much better. thanks for coming to my ted talk
Hey y’all my Internet friend Lee made a gorgeous fabric art Tarot deck of ocean creatures and you should definitely buy one! It’s unbelievably gorgeous. (I mean, look at that Magician, JUST LOOK AT IT.) The art is already finished and the Kickstarter is just funding the printing of the decks.
I’ve been following the development of this deck card by card, and it’s gloriously beautiful, in addition to being the first fabric deck I’ve come across since the Enchanted Tarot (another gorgeous deck that uses the texture of fabric to bring the tarot to life). Tarot of the North Atlantic
Hi guys, last night my parents accidentally heard me saying that I run an advice blog and are going to make me let them follow it. I am not out to them and I can’t let them find this one. I just made a blog for general advice that I will let them follow, but first I need help to make it look real. PLEASE go follow ineedanap35 and if you can submit some questions I will be in debt to you all forever. Please help ❤
