on my pinkorangebrown/big2 pedestal again but literally it hits such a spot, ppl always speak abt how pinkorangebrown can heal from the torment of spiky by experiencing real love and care thru big2 even when theyre not like, together togheter and just pining or even before that when they got to know each otehr, but we don't analyse enough how big2 is changed thru love as well cuz like her always changing etc etc... kinda showed she had issues with pinning down her own identity and feeling secure being Her self she was always changing appearances vibes partners etc... never finding equilibrium in herself. and to find someone she wanted, thru that she's also finding who SHE wants to be. like its that deep to me its not the curtains being blue cuz theyre blue her constant metamorphosis slowly halting once she gets attached to pinkorangebrown is so significant but its more sublte and thats smth i love abt the ship

Why are you so mad that people like Spiky, let us have our fun. We're not coming into YOUR tags to berate your favourite character. Your vitriolic hate for Spiky is honestly concerning. Get help.

Why Do Western Countries Connect the Hijab With Female Oppression?

In many European countries, the hijab triggers discussion. Western media has used the veil as a symbol of male domination over women rather than a form of worship or a Muslim woman’s choice. But how has the veil as a symbol become loaded with negative connotations in the West? To answer this question, we have to understand the meaning of Orientalism. 

In his influential work (1978), Edward. W. Said employed the term Orientalism to describe the constructed lens through which the West wanted to see the East. Said claimed that the West constructed an “othering” of the East, an ideology of “Western us” versus “Muslim Other” in which the East was pictured as barbaric, primitive and uncivilized. The ulterior motif behind it? The justification of the West’s imperial conquests of North Africa, the Middle East and Asia. In times of Imperialism, approximately 60,000 books* about the Arab world were published by Western authors, who intended to depict the East as backwards and uncivilized by portraying Muslim women as imprisoned by barbaric Muslim men, trapped in polygamous marriages or forced to cover their bodies with the veil. Such representation implied that Eastern women needed to be saved from their cultures. The veil, in particular, was portrayed as something that distinguished the woman from the East with the woman from the West. Westerners believed that Muslim women needed to stop wearing the veil in order to reduce Muslim women’s oppression. The hijab therefore reflects the characteristics of Orientalism, mirroring the Other, the inferior and the barbaric.

Because of these orientalist narratives, often people in Western countries today still presume that veiled women are oppressed and both want and need to be saved. Although many Muslim women wear the hijab because of their own desire to do so and their conviction in its benefits (see Here Are 5 Reasons Why Women Wear the Hijab), it is pictured in the media as a male or social command, which results in discriminating women wearing it and stereotyping them as weak and passive women unable to stand up for themselves and their rights.

Rocket Boys by Homer Hickman

Shout out to HCLA and the US Space and Rocket Center for rewarding me with this book during jeapordy.

You think kids now are creative, but think about the buzz that came with the idea of space exploration. Kids would watch with excitement as NASA and the US government would release information about the space race and their technology projects. This inspired a young Homer Hickman to work with his friends to create a rocket to make their town proud. With the encouragement of each other, their teacher, and some mine workers, they prove that anyone can do anything if they work hard and have passion.

As inspiration for the movie October Sky, Hickman writes a compelling story about his experience growing up with the NASA Space Program. It tells the tale of him and his friends creating their own rockets to launch after learning about NASA and their missions with Apollo and Saturn. They faced hardships both for being so young, lacking resources and knowledge, and for living in a small town. Everyone knew everyone’s business, so it is hard to concentrate when everyone shares their opinion on your work.

The teacher that supported him reminds me of my chemistry teacher. She is one of the best people that I know and was there for me when others weren’t. Even if she was having trouble herself, she always took the time to help me with anything. I am forever grateful for her and all she has done for me.

This W.D. Weatherford Award winner is great for any age. It is a little dated for me, but it gives me an idea about what my dad was thinking when he was growing up. He would tell me stories about how he was building rockets and making rocket fuel in his backyard. It puts into perspective how far engineering had come, and how much further we can take it.

redemption would imply that she changes for the better n she has literally proven that if given the choice, she would NOT. she'd literally rather drag everyone down w her than give them a chance to be happy. like im all for womens wrongs but NOT if its spiky fuck spiky ‼‼‼

honestly I can get behind every ship I can see smth even tho my heart is a truther of specific ones but I just can't respect anyone who still ships spiky with anyone like she's incapable of love she destroys anyone she talks to compulsively she cannot, in the way the show ended, healthily be involved with anyone. and even if she worked on herself in the future I can't see her getting redemption with any of the main cast.
