Wilson broke his femur over the weekend.  He needs to get an amputation and its going to be a rather expensive procedure.  My sister is going crazy trying to figure out how to pay it all and worrying about his pain levels.  Please share my link and consider donating even a dollar, it will help immensely.  Thanks for everything all.

something that’s really great about steven universe is how it normalizes things. that’s what makes it so revolutionary in teaching morals through children’s programming. like not only is it introducing concepts in children’s shows that have rarely been touched on, but it’s doing so in a way that’s never done before. a way that is 3479382749 times more effective. 

they don’t make an episode about gay rights. they probably would get a lot of criticism for that! instead they have openly gay characters without even mentioning the fact that they’re gay. it’s not even a question. and it isn’t suggestive of a romantic relationship, it is painfully obvious. by introducing gay characters and gay relationships, we’re exposing children to it in a positive way. a whole new generation of kids will be raised to think that it’s perfectly normal to be gay. 

and steven too! steven is emotional. he cries all the time. he’s very empathetic. he has many behaviors that would be considered feminine or unmanly, but he is never once criticized for that! there isn’t an episode where is teased that says to boys “it’s ok to be different and manliness isn’t everything (but it is kind of weird and you will be made fun of.” steven is loved by everyone around him and even encouraged for being himself. 

and don’t get me started on the diversity! there isn’t a single character who is treated as weird or unattractive for their appearance! we don’t need an episode about “everyone is beautiful! even people aren’t conventionally attractive!” they just exist. no character is taught to be insecure about their appearance. even when you preach about everybody being beautiful and capable of finding love despite what others say, you are introducing the idea in kids’ minds that there are people who will find them unattractive because of the way they look! that they may be made fun of! 

but what steven universe does is beautiful. there is such a wide range of diversity like nothing we’ve ever seen before. and guess what? no character ever doubts themselves because of their appearance. you can’t tell if a character is mean, weird or evil because of their physical traits. everyone is treated as beautiful and attractive without question. and they are not loved despite their appearances (”telling “unattractive” characters it doesn’t matter how you look, it’s what’s on the inside that counts!) they are loved for who they are, inside and out and that is so powerful for children and, hell, ADULTS to see. characters are judged purely on their actions, but children are being taught to love their bodies without even knowing it. that is so so wonderful.

Up in the cold north of Michigan, it isn’t uncommon for people to keep all sorts of pets, and ducks are no exception.   Sadly, it is also not uncommon for people to abandon these animals during the winter when they go on warm vacations, or just because they don’t know how to care for them. These…

Please help us take care of these ducks!!!

Please consider helping my sister do something she loves, she has been practicing a lot and is ready to try marketable product.  Thank you!
