if your “gifted child” discourse doesn’t include how kids who are deemed “not gifted” are completely and utterly ignored by the education system and how THAT has lasting effects including having poor self-esteem, poor sense of self worth & a plethora of other bullshit then i don’t wanna fucking hear it
And surprise, surprise, most of the “gifted” kids are white! It’s an excuse for segregation!
Read Integration Interrupted by Karolyn Tyson if you want a really good overview of how this whole process got started and how damaging it is.
I can’t believe Spider-Man defeated not one but TWO Disney films and grabbed the Golden Globe
Oh my goodness I’m so happy *ugly sobbing*
People don’t understand why this is a big deal.
Disney has a stranglehold on animation. Ya’ll remember when Frozen came out? Well when it won the Oscar for best-animated film, it was revealed that the people voting didn’t watch any of the other films. Frozen only won because of it’s brand name. For Spiderverse to defeat two Disney films is big because not only does it prove that animated movies feature people of color can be successful but it’s also showing that other animation companies have a chance.
They really went and fixed every issue with the original in one go huh
My understanding is that it’s not even a reboot.
It’s just a continuation of the franchise without the “Jack Sparrow” character. It’s a whole world of piracy, magic, and adventures, so why limit it to revolving around the adventures of one dude and his friends?
From what I’m hearing, it’s going to focus on the character of Redd from the ride.
Remember the one part in the ride where the pirates are auctioning off the women? And a bunch of the pirates are chanting “We wants the redhead!” and sure enough, there’s a gorgeous redhead getting auctioned off?
Well, luckily, Disney recently changed the scene. There are now no women getting auctioned off, and the redhead, since renamed Redd, is a pirate captain in her own right.
The reworked character has become so popular that she’s actually a walk around character that you can meet in the park.
I really hope the rumors are true because we deserve a movie or twelve about female pirates

if any of you ever think that archaeology is boring let me just remind you that archaeologists managed to lose king tut’s mummified penis and for a very long time were convinced that someone had stolen it until a ct scan revealed that it was just. hidden in the sand nearby
