- Reblog this post
- Send me (crossedheartsandhope-to-dies) a message with your name, the general area you live (State,…

Punk style, 1977: The Pyranas, punk girl gang. L-R: Margot Olavarria (Go-Go’s), Shannon Wilhelm (Castration Squad), Sheila Edwards (Screamers).
“Punk gave us the sense of empowerment that comes from being part of a community working together to achieve common goals, even if our goals as teens were mostly just to be creative and have fun.

The man that I named the Giver passed along to the boy knowledge, history, memories, color, pain, laughter, love, and truth. Every time you place a book in the hands of a child, you do the same thing. It is very risky. But each time a child opens a book, he pushes open the gate that separates him from Elsewhere. It gives him choices. It gives him freedom. Those are magnificent, wonderfully unsafe things.Lois Lowry, from her Newberry Award acceptance speech. (via amandaonwriting)(via bkmuse7)

I’ve seen this image a few times this past week, and I absolutely adore it. I spent a good 20 minutes identifying many of the characters (Harry Potter! Captain Planet! Peter Pan! And my girl Batgirl!) I was saddened to see it oftentimes not linked to the creator, so i’m re-posting it with proper credit. This guy = talented.
