Holy shit, this “American girl” ad from @senecaprojectus is amazing!!!
Hard to see the letters I’m typing through the tears streaming down my face though.
Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture.
The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.
But no.
Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die.
You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.
A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery.
Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said."
We are at our best when we serve others.
Be civilized.

“Are you married?”
I don't believe in it. Good for the man, lousy for the woman. She dies, she suffocates. I've seen it! And then the husband runs around complaining that he's fucking a dead person, and he's the one who killed her!
This Last One Standing is manufactured drama. Bring back a really strong XL cast that works together (or fights together). The competition aspect is stressful & unenjoyable to watch. #NakedAndAfraid
@Theholisticpsyc They’re babysitters. You can count on them to provide VERY basic things (as stated) but anything even resembling emotional involvement is avoided. In response, (my) children cut off from them. No arguments, no disagreements but no JOY or CONNECTION.
This masterpiece has inspired people for centuries. But in today’s Florida, a principal is now out of a job after a parent complained that she shared a “pornographic” image of David during a sixth-grade art history lesson: https://t.co/rhqSWm0cvU
