She Wants To Be A Dancer, Not A Soldier





“Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. 

Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. 

And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. 

What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. 

That's all I do all day. 

I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. 

I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be.”

― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

Guys And Dolls: A Four Year Old Girl's Protest Against Gender-Stereotyped Toys

Why Do All The Girls Have To Buy Princesses?



Christmas 2011. A four year old little girl Riley has made a staggering observation about toys. Riley is fed up with toy stores trying to market pink stuff to girls and "different color" stuff to boys. Listen to this tiny genius: “Some girls like superheroes, some girls like princesses. Some boys like superheroes, some boys like princesses. So why do all the girls have to buy pink stuff and all the boys have to buy different color stuff?”

Preach it sista.

Painted Souls, A Thousand Splendid Paper Plates

    From the national campaign of Unicef UK 6.6.2013:


"Hundreds of schoolchildren are heading to Downing Street this morning to put hunger on the agenda ahead of      the Nutrition for Growth event.

They'll be handing in paper plates created by schools countrywide (these are just some of them in our office!) with messages asking the PM to act. Good luck team!"
