the internet has collectively made a meme out of every frame of Spongebob but they still have yet to hone in on the image that conveys the feeling of being in your 20s
What’s coming through is alive. What’s holding up is a mirror. But what’s singing songs is a snake Looking to turn this piss to wine. They’re both totally void of hate But killing me just the same.
The snake behind me hisses What my damage could have been. My blood before me begs me Open up my heart again.
And i feel this coming over like a storm again. Considerately.
Venomous voice tempts me Drains me bleeds me, Leaves me cracked and empty. Drags me down like some sweet gravity.
I’m a preschool teacher and theres a black boy in my class named Miles and when I showed him the trailer he got SO excited, everytime I see him I say what’s up spiderman and he practically yells “IM SPIDERMAN!!!!” With the biggest smile on his face. Representation DOES matter and I’m happy that my kids are able to see more people who look like us in positive media :’)
Same thing happened with my daughter when was 7 and Annie came out. All of a sudden she wanted to go to Broadway to try out for the lead role. We had seen the original one several times but it never occurred to her that she could be any too. One more time for the cheap seats
I work at a bookstore and a few weeks ago a little black boy came in wearing a spider-man shirt. I asked him who his favorite spider man was. He replied Peter Parker. I told him mine was Miles.He didn’t know who Miles was so I took him to see the cover of a book with Miles on it. I watched a look of confusion come over his face. He looked up at me and said. “But he is black.” I said “Yeah. Spider-man is black is those comics.” His eyes got big and he grabbed the comics from my hand before running off yelling. “Mom! Mom! Spider-man looks like me! Spider-man looks like me!”
