new student enjolras protesting the dress code for women in school showing up in a skirt the very first day
nobody blinks and at first he thinks his protest is going great and everyone is being supportive and open minded
he throws a chair against the wall as soon as he realizes it’s because nobody noticed he is a guy
I'm Alanna, I'm 17, and I watch videos on the internet and read books and sit in my pajamas a lot and get mad about socioeconomic inequities. I live in the hinterlands of America (or Canada we haven't decided yet)
I reblog mostly british tv shows and musicals that make me cry.
If you've gotten this far, please, please, don't run away. I'm lonely.

“Dog Eat Dog” is a short film based on the true story of how actor/producer Zachary Quinto finally adopted his first dog in a Los Angeles Animal Shelter. During the events of his hilarious trials in attempting to adopt a shelter animal, Sian Heder, the film’s director was there by his side. Taking notes. [x]
Isn’t that sad? Politicians think RUNNING THE COUNTRY and providing for its citizens (and paying their salary) is “losing” money. The way we have politicians kiss corporations’ asses is really unsettling.
(I am working late at night in a 24-hour pharmacy. There are only three customers in the store:
a scruffy but clean young couple and another gentleman. The woman in the young couple is very heavily pregnant, and her partner is picking up the range of baby hats we carry and holding them up against her stomach, then looking at the prices and sadly putting them back. They pick up a packet of the cheapest pain medication we carry and bring it to the counter.)
Female Customer:
“I’m sorry, but can you please ask the pharmacist if these are safe for me to take?”
Me:
“Of course!”
(While we’re waiting for the pharmacist to come out, they tell me they’re expecting their daughter any day now. The pharmacist has been watching the young couple since they came in.)
Pharmacist:
“These are fine, but can I ask why you need them?”
Female Customer:
“Oh, I have a horrible cough that’s making my back ache even worse. I can’t get to sleep.”
(The pharmacist goes through a list of cough medicines safe for her to take, before the young man shakes his head with tears in his eyes.)
Male Customer:
“I’m sorry, I’ve just lost my job and we really can’t afford any of those. Sorry for wasting your time.”
Pharmacist:
“That’s okay, but this packet is damaged, and legally I can’t let you take it. Seeing as it was the last one, let me and [my name] go look in the back for some more.”
(The pharmacist takes me out the back, where he puts three packets of name brand painkillers, four bottles of name brand cough syrup, a wheat bag for her back, a tin of formula, a packet of newborn nappies and a few of the hats the couple was looking at into a box. He hands me the box and tells me to take it out to them. I do and they both burst into tears, thanking us over and over again. They leave with huge smiles on their faces.)
Female Customer:
“Thank you again!”
Other Customer:
“I’m sorry, I couldn’t help but over hear. Did you say you just lost your job at [local company]?”
Male Customer:
“Yes, I was an IT tech.”
Other Customer:
“I own [other computer store in the area], and I’m looking for a new tech. Can you start tomorrow?”
(There were tears all round that night. A week later, the young woman brought in her beautiful daughter and a giant batch of cupcakes for the pharmacy staff. Best night at work ever!)

”Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. What we did *was* wrong. But we think you’re crazy to make an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us… In the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain…..and an athlete…and a basket case…a princess…and a criminal…Does that answer your question?… Sincerely yours, the Breakfast Club.”
