HUNGER GAMES LOVE
Katniss: “Peeta.“You said at the interview you’d had a crush on me forever. When did forever start?”
Peeta: “Oh, let’s see. I guess the first day of school. We were five. You had on a red plaid dress and your hair . . . it was in two braids instead of one. My father pointed you out when we were waiting to line up,”
Katniss: “Your father? Why?”
Peeta: “He said, ‘See that little girl? I wanted to marry her mother, but she ran off with a coal miner,’”
Katniss: “What? You’re making that up!”.
Peeta: “No, true story. And I said, ‘A coal miner? Why did she want a coal miner if she could’ve had you?’ And he said, ‘Because when he sings . . . even the birds stop to listen.’”
Katniss: “That’s true. They do. I mean, they did,”
Peeta: “So that day, in music assembly, the teacher asked who knew the valley song. Your hand shot right up in the air. She stood you up on a stool and had you sing it for us. And I swear, every bird outside the windows fell silent,”
Katniss: “Oh, please,”
Peeta: “No, it happened. And right when your song ended, I knew — just like your mother — I was a goner. Then for the next eleven years, I tried to work up the nerve to talk to you.”
Katniss: “Without success,”
Peeta: “Without success. So, in a way, my name being drawn in the reaping was a real piece of luck,”

“Someone who offends you hasn’t ‘got’ you or ‘won’. What they said, and why, matters. They don’t get a free pass on being scrutinized on any of that just because they got a certain reaction.”

You guys...
What's wrong with that?

you know you’ve been a feminist for a long time when an acquaintance says that “girls look like strippers/sex worker/etc.” and you’re like what is actually wrong with that
…and get confused when they get upset with you.

An analysis of foreign Harry Potter book covers...
skagerak:
What I remember from the first time I saw a harry potter book was the pretty cover. The artwork was detailed, the colours and had a well-balanced combination between dull mystical colours as well as warm and vivid ones giving that magic touch.

r0bertbrowniejr:
Yesterday my mom posted a picture on Facebook of my 5 year old brother Sam wearing a pair of shoes he picked out for his first day of preschool.
She explained to him in the store that they were really made for girls. Sam then told her that he didn’t care and that “ninjas can wear pink shoes too.”
Sam went to preschool and got several compliments on his new shoes. Not one kid...
