Kids are wonderful.

I bought Neil Gaiman's "Fortunately the milk" for my son. He's 8 years old and it's his first Neil Gaiman's book, but he knows Morpheus because he saw me read the comics.

There's Neil's picture on the inside cover of the book. He's all dressed in black.

When he saw the picture, my son immediately said, "it's funny, he looks very much like the king of dreams and nightmares!"

I smirked and nodded. I never told him I had also noticed that, a while ago.

i used to be so good at writing strong, thoroughly-researched, thoroughly-edited essays.

as a kid in hs, my teacher literally came up to me, holding my 40 page essay on the intersection of the European witch hunts and capitalism/exploitation/gender roles (it was supposed to be 7 pages...whoops) and went like "this is literally a master's-degree level thesis. what are you doing?? you could literally use this as your final dissertation in a master's program, what the fuck."

NOW??? NOW?? you'd think I'd be oh so skilled. but alas. i can barely piece together two ideas. adhd skill-regression is so so real. im SOBBING

Before I was homeschooled I could have been counted as a gifted kid, I also didn’t know how to do perimeter until I was studying for the ACT. I was homeschooled in 4th grade

Good loses, good always loses because good has to play fair.

Evil doesnt.

"Smart Kid" movie is a Success.

The wholesome Iranian 3D animation “Smart Kid,” which has been titled the best-selling animation and children’s film in Iran.

Synopsis:

"Mohsen, a little boy who loves superheroes. He always tries to help anybody he comes across. Once he encounters an expired Iranian species and he decides to help the animal to get back to his homeland. However, a trip to the heart of the jungle, fighting the hunters and facing expired creatures is the start of a complicated adventure for Mohsen".

Honar Pooya Animation Studio and the Center for Intellectual Development of Children and Adolescent, which have jointly produced the animated film, have announced that one percent of the proceeds from the sale of the movie will be donated to the underprivileged children in the two regions, Honaronline reported.

The producers said in a statement that “they wish happiness and fulfillment of childhood dreams for all oppressed and innocent children around the world. Hoping that one day the whole world will be full of joy and peace, we have agreed on this decision”.

Produced by Hamed Jafari, the animation has sold close to $1 million since the beginning of its release across the country and brought about 1.1 million viewers to cinemas.

Directed by Behnoud Nekouiee, Mohammad Javad Jannati and Hadi Mohammadian, “Smart Kid” had its national premier at the 41st Fajr Film Festival in Tehran in February, where it won the Best Animation award.  

Hooman Hajabdollahi, Mina Qiaspour, Mir Tahari Mazloumi, Hedayat Hashemi, Javad Pezeshkian, Touraj Nasr, Mahsa Erfani, and Nazanin Yari are among the voice actors.

Over 5,300 children have been killed in the Gaza Strip since October 7 amid widespread airstrikes by the Israeli military. Based on the figures, children account for 40 percent of the deaths in Gaza. 

The Gaza Strip is the “most dangerous place in the world to be a child,” UNICEF Executive Director said on Wednesday.

“In addition to bombs, rockets, and gunfire, Gaza's children are at extreme risk from catastrophic living conditions. One million children – or really all children inside the territory – are now food insecure; facing what could soon become a catastrophic nutrition crisis,” Catherine Russell said at the UN Security Council briefing on the protection of children in Gaza on November 22.

“Children who manage to survive the war are likely to see their lives irrevocably altered through repeated exposure to traumatic events. The violence and upheaval around them can induce toxic stress that interferes with their physical and cognitive development. Even before this latest escalation, more than 540,000 children in Gaza – half of its entire child population – were identified as needing mental health and psychosocial support,” she noted.

“The public health risks in Gaza are compounded by the virtual shutdown of the health care system. More than two-thirds of hospitals are no longer functioning because of the lack of fuel and water, or because they sustained catastrophic damage in attacks,” the official stressed.

“We are also seeing devastating attacks on schools, with close to 90% of all school buildings sustaining damage. Nearly 80% of the remaining school facilities are being used as shelters for internally displaced people. But even these spaces, where children and families have sought safety after fleeing their homes, have come under attack,” she underlined.

“The destruction of Gaza and killing of civilians will not bring peace or safety to the region. The people of this region deserve peace. Only a negotiated political solution – one that prioritizes the rights and wellbeing of this and future generations of Israeli and Palestinian children – can ensure that. I urge the parties to heed this call, starting with a humanitarian ceasefire as the first step on the path to lasting peace. And I urge you, as Members of the Security Council, to do everything in your power to end this catastrophe for children,” Russell concluded.

Nie Huaisang is such a character. He can faint on command. The character guide in the novel describes him as a dandy and lists his weapons as saber (ostensibly) and crying (actually). He stalked a canary for several days and then sneaked it into class. He collects porn and shares it with his friends. He's in a sword wizard society and his clan in particular is known for their blades but he never once has a fight scene. His characteristic accessory is a paper fan. He failed summer camp twice. He formed a Golden Core nearly a decade later than everyone else his age. When his brother was killed he set in motion a several years long revenge scheme that involved both careful planning and insane improv. He built a reputation on not knowing anything. He threw himself on his brother's killer weeping and saying "if you don't help me I'm killing myself in front or you." Truly who is doing it like him
