6-year old Ruby Bridges walking to school.

This picture was always so powerful to me. I think I had that one famous illustrated storybook about Ruby Bridges.

Oh my stars, this has got to be, single handedly, the absolute best answer I've ever received on any post!

Oh my goodness this had me laughing out loud for a good 5 minutes and I'm still laughing.

Thank you for the good chuckle, I love to laugh. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day and week

This is in the United States, during segregation.

The little girl in the picture is Ruby Bridges. In 1960, she was one of the first Black kids to integrate a school. In this picture, she is walking to an all-Whites school and the guards are protecting her because the racist white adults wanted to harm her just for wanting to go to school.

Ruby Bridges is still alive today.

Any time anyone starts throwing insults and slurs at me like a Frisbee in lieu of an actual counterarguement

Yep, Mychal Threets is the new host of Reading Rainbow!

And he's also the official residential librarian for PBS Kids.

I got to meet him in Kansas City, and he was just as kind and gentle in real life, maybe even moreso, as he is in his posts

Yeah, paying $200+ a week for a shot. In this economy?

I don't know anyone who has that kind of money

Wait, im sorry, huh? How did the teacher even know about it if it was during the weekend?

Being more playful. Find more things to laugh and smile about.

Tap into my inner child, getting back into the things I loved as a child because I am a kidult with free will.

Sleep with stuffed animals and taking a plushie with me when I go out, despite what people may think.

Look for glimmer moments in my day.

The world is a hot pile of shitty dumpster fire, but I won't let it take away my smile and wonder and laughter. I will be happy in spite of the world

Toys collecting. Especially dolls and or stuffed animals.

When a guy collects Pokémon figures, that's fine and cool.

However when I like to buy myself Bratz dolls and Hello Kitty stuff and cute plushies, I'm told I am childish and I need to grow up🙄😒

Yeah that was apparently the original intentions of BANDAI.

Looking back now, the ads I remember watching on Disney Channel for Tamagotchi really did only have girls in them. I never realized that til now.

I think the thought process was probably like "girls like cutesy wootsy little characters! Boys like monsters that'll fight each other!"

And see, that's what my problem was

Yes, I am technically a type-2 diabetic, but i am a diabetic with good numbers, so my insurance is saying "oh we wont pay for those meds. You don't need it."🙄😒

No seriously, I'm just wanting to find out where this myth came from/why it started.

Did NOT expect people to call me stupid.

Does little guy even know that he exists?

I am a self-taught juggler. I taught myself at the age of six

Yes, i have in fact tried eating less

Well, I was taught this, so there🤷🏾‍♀️

What is API?

Like ELI5 please

Hot take? Maybe. Conspiracy theory? Probably a better description for what i am about to say.

I truly believe that the reason the "No Child Left Behind Act" was made/passed, at least in part, was to try and make kids "blind", so to speak, as to the wrong/evil that the government is doing.

Or at the very least, that's why book bans are a thing.

The hidden Pictures games!!

I actually was just playing with those on the highlights website yesterday!

Yeah, red panda would make for an adorable pet!

1. They're cute and fluffy
2. All they want is to nom nom on their yummy leaves.
3. Have you seen that thing they do where they put up their arms to make them look more menacing? That doesn't really work, and to me, it just looks like the cute little panda want uppsies.

I want a red panda
