Not really. Usually its just the Grimm version. There’s no such thing as an “original” version to a folk tale. Or i suppose once there was but it was gone the second it was retold. That’s the nature of oral tradition. There were countless retellings of the various fairy tales with different endings than the ones The Grimm Brothers went with in their books.
Israel is an apartheid state and fuck that shit. Instead of “Mowing the Lawn” (aka committing genocide by pushing Palestinians out of their homeland) and bombing schools and refugee camps, maybe try socialist policies that lift everyone up. Fuck fascism and fuck racism.
I realize there’s important nuances I’m overlooking, but I watch enough Democracy Now to know that tiptoeing around or staying silent just gives room for Israel fascists to spread lies based on their feelings, not the truth. This shit’s depressing but fuckin important.
In 1960, minimum wage was $1.00/hour and the average US home was $11,000.00. $1 million was a vast fortune.
When ronald Reagan took office, ‘middle class’ was still defined as one job supporting a family of four.
By the time George HW Bush had finished his term, middle class was two jobs to keep the family going. And $1 million was what a rich guy paid for a party.
One thing I like about Winnie, the Pooh is how they treated Eeyore. Even though he was effectively chronically depressed, his friends still invited him to their adventures. They didn’t expect him to pretend to feel happy or give him a hard time about it. I think there’s a positive message there.
