This map should be included in every history book.
Oh wow! I’ve been wanting this for ages!
This needs to be in every history book along with a map showing where those nations have been pushed to now.

Spanish in the U.S.
- 1: OMG, why are you speaking Spanish??? This is UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. If you want to live here you need to speak English! Stop trying to shove your culture onto us REAL Americans! Why don't you just go back to where you came from?
- 1: OMG, you don't speak Spanish??? That's a travesty! I LOVE Spanish, I speak it whenever I can! Hola! Buenos Días! Gato! Spanish is such a benefit in today's job market! I can't believe your parents would do this to you, it's so selfish of them!

The 10 Phrases I’ve Stopped Saying And The People Who Appreciate Me For It (via Upworthy)
It’s pretty common for people to use disability metaphors like “That guy is crazy!” or “This weather is so bipolar” without giving it a second thought. It’s important to realize how these words and metaphors can affect people with disabilities and perpetuate stigmas surrounding mental health. If you’ve never thought about the impact these words can have, you’re in luck because this chart provides some common disability metaphors and easy alternatives!
ps. Special thanks to m-arkiplier for inspiring me to create this graphic! (and for his permission to use his post) For more info on why it’s important to be conscious of the metaphors we use, check out this HuffPost article ”10 Reasons to Give Up Ableist Language.”

Happy Birthday Joseph Frank “Buster” Keaton VI
4 October 1895 - 1 February 1966“My God, we ate, slept and dreamed our pictures.”
Buster Keaton remains one of the most influential filmmakers of the silent era. His innovative use of physical comedy caused him to push boundaries and reinvent how films were made. Even to this day his films continue to delight at his extremely impressive stunt work, and his character, who despite never cracking a smile, endears himself to you through every tumble. He never thought of himself as a genius but he was.
“The medium was still in its infancy; comics were pioneering the craft of making people laugh at moving images. Keaton, it turns out, knew it all — intuitively.” - Richard Corliss, TIME
