Norwegians read the second most comic books in the world, just after japan

It is hard to stare at her, hard because she’s not the distant Girl who smiles at me anymore. She has become more than that, more than I expected her to become and more than I was looking for her to become. …It is hard to stare at her because as I know she is starting to love me, I am starting to love her. I don’t care what she’s done or who she’s done it with. I don’t care about whatever demons may be in her closet. I care about how she makes me feel and she makes me feel strong and safe and calm and warm and true.
James Frey, A Million Little Pieces (via books-n-quotes)
Many adults are put off when youngsters pose scientific questions. Children ask why the sun is yellow, or what a dream is, or how deep you can dig a hole, or when is the world’s birthday, or why we have toes.
Too many teachers and parents answer with irritation or ridicule, or quickly move on to something else. Why adults should pretend to omniscience before a five-year-old, I can’t for the life of me understand. What’s wrong with admitting that you don’t know? Children soon recognize that somehow this kind of question annoys many adults. A few more experiences like this, and another child has been lost to science.
There are many better responses. If we have an idea of the answer, we could try to explain. If we don’t, we could go to the encyclopedia or the library. Or we might say to the child: “I don’t know the answer. Maybe no one knows. Maybe when you grow up, you’ll be the first to find out.
For Trinitas Kunashe, like many girls in Malawi, getting her period was unexpected, unexplained and a burden for her everyday life. Often, girls who do not have access to pads prefer to stay home and out of school for the duration of their periods.
But Trinitas is changing that with her amazing new invention:
Made from bright and comfortable locally-sourced fabrics, Tina Pads are a hit amongst girls in her community. They are waterproof, practical and fun – and most importantly reusable.
Determined to make sure no girl is forced to miss school because of her period, Trinitas is a passionate believer in the power of education to change lives.
When I speak sometimes I stutter, in doubt about what I’ll say next. When I move sometimes I trip, in doubt of where I’ll go to next. When I write most of the time I delete it, in doubt of what you will think. I was going to delete this, but I’m not. I will prove that I can overcome my doubts, and you will to. You will conquer so much, stop wasting time sitting around and finally go out and live your life.

It was Virgil’s first time sitting with the other side for a meal and he had to admit he was, well anxious. He and the other sides had been getting along pretty well for a while now but he kept coming up with excuses to Patton’s pleas for him to join them, scared he’d do something wrong and the bliss of the past few weeks of peace would be destroyed. Eventually Patton stopped accepting no as an answer and now here he was. At the table. Waiting for the other two sides.
Roman ran in and immediately began putting food on his plate barely even acknowledging Virgil’s presence with a nod as he stuffed his face.
Logan walker in at a slower pace carrying a large stack of books. Patton said a cheery hello to him before sitting down to get his own plate. Logan just watched as everyone ate their dinner before slowly tearing a page out of one of his paper back books. And eating it. Patton and Roman just kept eating. Is this normal? What…
Noticing his look Logan clarified
“Knowledge is the only sustince I need. Well, that and crofters.”
*can you tell I’m supposed to be writing a paper right now?*

Sometimes he puts Crofters on the pages.
Other times he freaks out over jam on his books.
Everyone is confused by him
