giving a different shout out to the kid in my class who gave a 3 minute speech about how much he hated the monarchy at 12 years old. that was awesome
#it was a good speech! from what i remember anyway#our teacher liked it#wonder how he's feeling about everything now. probably nothing positive#oh actually only mildly related but its related nonetheless so storytime#cw for religious homophobia#everyone in our year had to do a speech on a subject of our choice#i chose the queer community because i was such a good hashtag ally#the girl i considered my best friend at the time chose to do one on how much she hated gay people after learning my chosen subject#which was. interesting.#she did the whole i just don't agree with the lifestyle choices bc its sinful but i dont hate the people themselves thing#upon hearing this my teacher immediately put her in her place in front of the entire class#i wont repeat the story he told us because it was a) very personal and b) incredibly tragic. but needless to say she shut up after that#it didn't change her mind unfortunately but it DID end up being an example of the kinds of things used in a good speech#(anecdotes + emotive language + direct engagement with the audience)#despite being improvised#i genuinely love that teacher so much he's done multiple very cool things for me and my friends this being only one of them#btw irl friends i will elaborate in dms if you want#pluto talks#q
