Breaking Magic Stereotypes I Think:
“Rule number one about magic, everything you think you know about it is bullshit.”
“Magic has a mind of its own and it doesn’t always listen.”
“Dude a show magician could do this better than you.”
“Fire burns your fucking clothes whether it’s magic or not. I dunno why everyone thinks it doesn’t.”
“When you’re casting a spell, you gotta do it from above your hand, not from it. Otherwise it affects you too.”
“The only kind of magic that isn’t real is the shit you see on tv.”

I attended church with a friend recently. The young women in the ward served as ushers when the sacrament is passed.
In my ward, the ushers are Melchizedek priesthood holders (older men). I wonder in what other areas we can increase opportunity for service and leadership outside traditional gender roles.
While reading comments about M. Russell Ballard's recent passing, I learned that the church's current focus on council structures originated under his stewardship. That move has been credited with bringing more influence from women into church leadership, particularly at a local level.
The voices of women in church leadership enrich everyone.

What stereotypes has Nick Nelson broken? Every single love interest in every single Ao3 fic is a Nick Nelson, a combination of perfect and mutually exclusive traits for maximum wish fulfilment.
one of the main stereotypes that he has broken is the stereotype that masculine guys can't be gay or bi and just any part of the lgbtqia plus community. there are a few more that he has broken but i am currently at school so im not able to state them all

I headcanon that Bart doesn't really gaf about gender norms and constantly breaks them on a regular basis to screw with average people who are in fact just existing.
Ex. Wearing a skirt/dress and doing unconventional things that would be difficult in a skirt/dress and heels, but somehow doing it anyway. And doing it SUCCESSFULLY.
Like bungee jumping or scuba diving.
And yes he would look amazing while doing it too.

Just a reminder that a true friend doesn't suggest you swallow your feelings and move on with your life when something is bothering you. They are the ones who push you to open up, to deal with issues head on, and to progress. They are the ones who understand that anxiety is not self-made, it's not asked-for, and it's definitely not attention-seeking. They are the ones who are not afraid to admit they may not understand what you're experiencing, but they trust that you do and that you know what the best way for yourself to cope is.
Don't settle for anything less than a TRUE friend.

I high key love the moment in ofmd s2 ep3 when Ed says he likes “intercourse” but then points out he actually likes to finish - it’s like I don’t think I’ve ever heard a male character say that before as a scripted line because societally and on “planet heterosexual” Sex and the male orgasm are interchangeable as almost the same. So him implying that he doesn’t always finish as a throwaway line is a thing that entirely unexpectedly blew my mind and I love it especially because like with so many things on this show no one makes a thing of it, it doesn’t take anything away from him, it actually made him more human and more beautiful and more relatable. Maybe I’m reading this wrong but fuck I think the world needed that. Like “Ed” is still just his name, people, everything is okay.

Gemini taking a hardball approach to diversity is a remarkable step. When one tech giant has concluded these tech hurdles in public sphere can be crushed , maybe we cut them some slack and allow the changes unfold.

Why We Celebrate Women's Day: A Tribute to Resilience and Revolution
Throughout history, women have been pillars of strength, resilience, and innovation, though their achievements and struggles have often been overlooked or underrepresented. International Women's Day is not just a celebration of women, but an acknowledgment of their profound impact on society and a call to action for gender parity.
The Historical Roots
International Women's Day traces its origins back to the early 20th century. On February 28, 1909, the first National Woman's Day was observed in the United States, organized by the Socialist Party of America. This marked the beginning of a global recognition of the challenges women faced and the rights they deserved.
In 1910, Clara Zetkin, the leader of the 'Women's Office' for Germany's Social Democratic Party, proposed an idea: a celebration every year in every country on the same day as a form of international solidarity in the struggle for equal rights. The very first International Women's Day was thus celebrated on March 19, 1911.
More Than Just a Day
The celebration of Women's Day isn't about offering women a single day of acknowledgment. Instead, it's a powerful reminder that every day, women are battling stereotypes, breaking barriers, and making strides in every field imaginable. From science and technology to arts and humanities, women continue to shatter glass ceilings.
Achievements and Challenges
While Women's Day is an opportunity to celebrate the numerous achievements of women globally, it is also a day to highlight the ongoing challenges women face. Gender disparity, wage gaps, limited access to education, health issues, and violence against women are just a few of the many challenges women face daily. The day reminds us of the importance of continuous advocacy for women's rights and gender equality.
A Universal Celebration
Today, International Women's Day is celebrated in various forms across the world. It's an official holiday in several countries where women receive gifts, and celebrations are held in their honor. Meanwhile, in other nations, the focus is on protest and political action.
Moving Forward
While we have come a long way since the first Women's Day was celebrated, there's still a considerable journey ahead. The day serves as an urgent reminder of the work that remains. Gender equality benefits us all, leading to more inclusive economies, societies, and holistic growth.
In celebrating Women's Day, we don't just recognize the struggles and accomplishments of women in the past but also spotlight the pioneers, innovators, mothers, daughters, thinkers, movers, and leaders of today. By doing so, we hope to inspire and empower the next generation to push the boundaries even further.
In the end, every day should be a day where we acknowledge, uplift, and stand in solidarity with women everywhere. International Women's Day is a clarion call to action, ensuring that the flames of change continue to burn bright.

First Spinjitzu Master's Retribution: A LEGO Ninjago AU
Created by Zena Airale ( @keliharuza ), Elina Sakura ( @elina-sakura ), and Morro/Winderful/SOTE/Soul of the Existence ( @soul-of-the-existence ), First Spinjitzu Master's Retribution is a Ninjago AU revolving around the First Spinjitzu Master's inner prejudices. Many of the aus in this multiverse have the Overlord and/or the Preeminent are more sympathetic characters. They have families of their own, and it's these relationships that fuel the First Spinjitzu Master's hatred over them, as he believed anything that would normally be associated with darkness and evil are that way by default.

"A teachers task is to nurture hope, not the heart"- Heine Wittgenstein
Tumblr media
If I were to become a teacher, I would want to be like Heine Wittgenstein from The Royal Tutor who can be unorthodox at times in his teaching methods but shows he cares for each of the princes by giving them lessons dedicated to make them better people. Plus, he always gets stereotyped as a child because of how short he is which is what I relate to most being in college but still being asked how high school is.

I will never understand why there aren’t more “supportive Black dad” characters. I do understand that there are a variety of different types of dads out there. Not all Black dads are perfect or good, but the thing is that most of the Black dads I’ve known/met are very loving and affectionate towards their children.
Maybe it’s because my dad is Black and I grew up in Philly (which has a primarily Black population), but I always remember my dad taking me to the park each weekend, and I would see a lot of other Black dads doing the same with their kids.
I remember how, even when some of them looked really tired, they would light up when their little child came over to them excitedly to show them or tell them about something or other. I remember the attitude of “I would die for this child.” Even now, I see some guys who talk very proudly of their children and what great jobs they are doing.
Maybe I just want to see dads who look and act like my dad, and other father figures I had growing up who just so happened to be Black. Those guys who are the exact opposites of the “absent Black dad” stereotype. Who are the embodiment of “Dear Theodosia”. Who like to bond with their children and take them places.
I am a sucker for characters with parent issues, but please give me some fluffy stuff too. More importantly, please give me more examples of supportive and loving Black dads in the media. Not even just ‘strict but loving’ or ‘overprotective but loving’, but also ones who are supportive of their kids’ interests, are a normal amount of protective, and will welcome in their daughter’s new boyfriend.
Please, I am begging you. I know that not all people are lucky in the dad department, but give us representation for Black dads who are loving and supportive and somewhat laid back but still careful when necessary.
The characters who look like my dad don’t fully act like my dad, and the characters who act like my dad don’t often look like my dad. But dads like mine exist, and there are a lot more of them than shown in the media.
I just want to see a character who is like my dad. A loving, supportive, Black dad.

Explore the shifting landscape of Filipino stereotypes in our latest blog post, where we highlight the inspiring figures redefining our cultural identity on the global stage. #FilipinoPride #BreakingStereotypes

In my previous article, I touched upon the topic of Filipino stereotypes, discussing how these preconceived notions could both limit and define us.

Checking on Facebook if my dad’s birthday is today - not because I have a bad relationship with my dad but because his birthday is either the 21st or 22nd of July and my mum’s birthday is either the 21st or 22nd of another month and I have ADHD

Hi there everyone, just a quick post to thank all the people who have followed me over the past few days.
As my page suggests my name is Niamh Choesang and I am an Australian Author.
Currently I am writing my autobiography which is nearly finished.
It is about my journey as I try to prove my potential to a world that doesn't always see it.
One thing that you have probably noticed about me is that I am in a wheelchair (I deliberately avoid saying that I am "confined" to a wheelchair as the reality is I am not, at the end of each day I get out of it, lay down on my bed and stretch out my legs and back feeling thankful that I got to experience another day of life) *waits for the sounds of retching* sorry if that sounds corny but it is the truth.
My disability is Cerebral Palsy which is a purely physical disability that effectively affects my motor function, but other than that I am pretty much just the average human being, I eat, get drunk and have sex (not necessarily in that particular order!)
I don't believe that people who have disabilities should be treated as they are special just because they have a disability.
I for one don't think that I am special because I have a disability, I would rather be known as special regardless of if I have a disability or not.
Anyway my friends, I hope you enjoy reading my reflections and ridiculously random observations of a standing up world
