Remember that movie in which Jack Black was a teacher and building a rock band and when a little black chubby girl asked to be a singer he only said “sure! let me hear you” and the moment she started using her beautiful voice his lit up like all of his dreams came true, PLUS the same little girl was scared that people would make fun of her because she was fat and he started listing awesome singers with some weight on and included himself and told her that people wouldn’t laugh because she is awesome at what she does and that is all that matters PLUS that it’s ok to enjoy food?
Also, when a little boy asked to be the band’s stylist he just said “sure, go ahead fancy pants” like, there wasn’t a single second of questioning it, he went into “ok, that will be your position then” right away
That fucking movie is an hour and a half of Jack Black teaching kids to love themselves disregarding all of the stereotypes
And don’t forget the Asian guy said he shouldn’t be in the band because he thought he wasn’t “cool enough”. Jack Black didn’t miss a beat by making up a secret handshake between he and the kid.and telling him he’s amazing at what he does playing the piano. After that the Asian kid even stood up for himself against a bully.
And he put the violent kid with anger issues on drums and let him constructively work out his aggression.

For years, Disneyland annual passes, parking fees and single-day-tickets
have seen above-inflation price-hikes, but this year’s will take the
cost of the no-blackout-day “Premier Pass” to $1,949, up 23.4% from last
year, a firm push away from the idea of Disneyland as a “locals park”
for casual visits and into the kind of place that most local families
could only visit on very special occasions.
It’s not just Premier Passes, either: parking (which was recently
segmented into a “premium” and “basic” service with additional fees for
good parking spots) is going up 25%, to $25/day. Maxpass, which uses an
app to reserve places in line, will go up 50%, from $10/day/person to
$15/day/person.
The cheapest one-day tickets will spike to over $100, and Disney will
continue to use “surge pricing” to raise the cost of these tickets on
some days.
The Southern California pass – which already excludes most days when a
family could hope to visit the parks – is going up 8.1%, to $400, with
blocked days rising from 202 days/year to 211 days/year.
This summer will see the largest expansion in Disney theme park history, when the $1B Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opens.
Disneyland is locked in a battle with congestion, and has tried (and failed) to manage crowds with higher prices, and the parks continue to weather a palpable capacity crisis.
There are lots of causes here: winner-take-all (see also: Burning Man,
SDCC, etc); inequality; and the boomerang effect of higher
ticket-prices, which induce visitors to spend longer in the park “to get
their money’s worth.”
Not only has Canada taken in fewer refugees than even the UK (in spite of Mr Trudeau’s welcome tweet), our government is showing no interest in undoing the “Canada-U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement,” an agreement sought by Canada to keep down the potential number of refugees.
“Last year, Canada received less than 0.2 per cent of the overall refugee population in the world, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).”
