I fucking knew this was about On the Road three screen caps in

What bothers me about this scene is that these girls said the exact same things.

“It’s not writing, it’s typing” is the same as “I hated this book.”
“The structure is not strong” is the same as “I had no idea what it’s about.”
One girl said Keruoac was on drugs while the other could name the drug.
One girl said it read like it was written in a hurry, the other knew it had been written in 3 weeks.
“His experiments in prose style are tedious” is the SAME THING as saying “boring and unorganized”

And I saw this sort of thing a lot in school. As an English major, if I’d said “I hated this book” I would have been lambasted or dismissed by the prof. But if I said “I wasn’t moved by it, I found it tedious” it would have been an insightful remark.

I’m so sick of this academic elitism.

But I sort of thought that’s why the second girl said what she said? Like she used more academic language, you’re right, but she’s completely echoing Kim’s statement. By prefacing it with, “I think Kim’s right,” she draws the attention back to the fact that Kim said it first, the paraphrases, then builds on what Kim said giving more information to support Kim’s claim. Like Girl 2 knows what’s up with the teacher’s bullshit and she’s not about to let it go down. I think the point of this scene is to condemn academic elitism, not to support it. Especially with the look between them at the end.  

Actually, I’m pasting my tags into this.

#of course she said the same thing#thats the point#ive done this in school as well#someone has the same opinion as me but one of us can articulate it better? so be it#we still both agree#we still both get heard#how you speak to people differs depending on the person#and if someone can back you up#with different wording to what you just said#youre gonna reach a lot more people that way

Omg what the fuck? Black students were just chillin’ when the cops stormed in, kicking and punching everyone, shouting and hitting young women… There’s not much information about the incident, but the video uploaded on Twitter is fucking wild. They even shot somebody there! IS IT EVEN REAL??? It looks like a nightmare. 

this is some crazy bullshit.

I am so disgusted how cops treated people of color there. I refuse to keep silent.

boost!!!

Only with Black people do cops show up to a party with huge ass guns in an attempt to break it up

For structures that have no entry steps, ConvertaStep also makes ramps of three sizes that come in a manual as well as automatic version.

(via ConvertaStep | Wheelchair Accessibility | Ramps | Convertastep - Freedom In Mobility)

This welcome mat converts into a fully accessible wheelchair ramp. Beautiful and functional design. I want it.

Some more info, for people who are interested.

First of all, I can’t believe this has almost 3,000 notes. I’m so glad that people are sharing this - both as a cool design, and also as an important accessibility feature.

Thanks to pseudosoph for linking to additional info (above) regarding weight limits, lift height, and product background – the creator is a wheelchair user himself! Very cool stuff. Keep sharing!

theres something incredibly touching to me about a ramp that literally says “welcome” on it
