Pugs Will Sleep Anywhere!

ok listen i work at a movie theatre and this past week, because of the new ghostbusters, i’ve had to put up with a lot of annoying (mostly male) costumers complaining that they’re being dragged to watch it by their date/friend or that they don’t understand the hype because they’re so sure a female remake is gonna be monstrous and im not gonna lie its been very tiring dealing with so many narrow minded sexist people but you know what??? i’ve seen dads bring their little girls. i’ve seen dads bring their little boys. today a little girl no older than 6 jumped up and down and said “we’re gonna watch ghostbusters! i’m so excited!!” to me with the biggest smile ive ever seen. i’ve seen moms bring their teenage daughters. i’ve seen two boys probably around 13 come out of the theatre talking about how cool the movie was.
please go out and support ghostbusters. it’s honestly such an important milestone for the film industry. little girls are finding rolemodels. little boys are watching strong women. this shit is important and we need more of it

There’s a very old graveyard next to my uncle’s house that happens to have (apparently rare?) Pokémon. As caretaker of the lot, which has a LOT of cool texas history associated with it, he doesn’t see a ton of people come visit because it’s out in the middle of nowhere.
But recently, there’s been truckloads of college kids, teens, families, and grandparents all coming by to catch Pokémon. Some just pass through, but many accept his offer of a Coke and a lawn chair to sit and talk for a while. Once pokémon have been successfully acquired, he starts to tell them the cool history of the area, and the visitors are fascinated.
People have sent him emails and called him later, asking for more details and doing their own research on the battles fought there and the people who died. There’s now a Facebook page about it? It’s a thing-catch pokémon but more importantly ask the caretaker about Texas blood feuds.
And like, you see so much negativity about how games distract and people are mindless drones because of them. But a video game brought dozens and dozens of people to my uncle’s plot and gave him an audience of interested listeners who are taking that knowledge back to their own communities and spreading the word to come visit.
Like, y'all. This is honestly the coolest thing.
This is so nice
