“‘Elite bilingualism’ – that is, bilingualism of the upper and middle classes – was typically presented as a positive phenomenon. This attitude is seen in the encouragement of bi- and multilingualism
among the children of the elite, and in European research on childhood bilingualism and second language learning (Epstein, 1915;
Pavlovitch, 1920; Ronjat, 1913). In contrast, bilingualism of immigrant and linguistic minority children was commonly associated with mental retardation, moral inferiority, split identity, and linguistic shortcomings.”

i dont want anyone touching my body ever again even for a hug i dont want any physical contact anymore!!!!!!!
hot take: the problem isnt the manic pixie dream girl. its the boring ass moody emotional leech guy she always gets paired with. we need more manic pixie dream characters. just give them partners who are as great as them or let them be happy alone! no more smart, beautiful, optimistic, kind girls getting paired with actual mosquitoes of men!
Also: make some manic pixie dream boys. If I wanna see romance maybe I wanna see a giddy boy full of positive energy who tells you fun facts about the constellations. Stop teaching boys they have to be moody and sad and they have to find salvation in a dream girl, this is how you breed Bad Men.
Some of you need to learn the difference between skinny girls being made to feel insecure about their body from certain people and fat girls being made to feel like their entire life is worthless because of their body size from literally the entire world
People still don’t get the point of this post…….wild
