Hi everyone! Interesting fact: The French Revolution was started by a diamond necklace. Also, here's a book recommendation: Stoned by Aja Raden (the book where I found the interesting fact). Stoned is all about jewelry and how it has shaped history. You should check it out!

Recently, amazing scientific discoveries have transformed what we know about dinosaurs. And it turns out that a lot of what we thought we knew about them was … totally wrong. Fortunately, the I Know Dino! podcast hosts are here to parse dino-fact from dino-fiction and dig into the incredible history of paleontology along the way. .

wow thanks!! That seems so interesting! I'll definitely check it out.
Interesting, thanks for the suggestion!
Hey hey everyone! I am back from my trip, an week long, it`s SUPER FUN! But when i got on the plane, i faced some barrier, an barrier for having rights to have access, when I appear trying to watch an movie but guess what, they don`t have captions for it, out of 5/117 movies have captions and also it not even half have captions, so I have about enough about it! If you`ll experienced same thing or not, please feel free to relpy below!🤦♀️🤔
Glad you enjoyed your trip! I've been on flights in India before, and I've experienced the thing with the subtitles before. Most of the movies are in Hindi (I don't know Hindi) and they don't have English subtitles. It's frustrating!
That stinks!
I agree!
I can relate to this! I mean, honsetly, I not fully understand spoken English just yet... So yeah, all of movies should have English subtiles to make more accessible for everyone! Looking forward to your relpy!
Agreed! I also think movies should have Braille subtitles (or something like that) for people with visual impairments!
Yes! Like that!
That sounds awful. I'm not deaf, but that's has got to suck
No kidding 😕
Yes! This always SUPER hard for me but at least I made it through with the plane....
Oh...........that's not nice.... I had experienced something similar on the JAL airline. Most of the movies are japanese based(which I don't understand), though they do have english captions it's still frustrating reading the captions for an hour with japanese ringing in my ear XD.
Japanese movies is cool! But if they don`t have english subtiles, u know what i will do....
Oh dang I feel kinda bad now since that happened.
Me too!
I will be okay! Thx, @mara_love and @techfashion0135!
Stay courageous!!
I will! Thx!
I will be okay at least but still....!
It's not fair 😧
Almost everything is not fair for me as deaf person...but this is life...life sometimes can be even stinks for me
Yeah. Once I went to somewhere (Forgot where I when) it happen to be the same. So I turnoff my phone's airplane mode and watch it on phone.~ Victoria
I have my tablet so I just turn on the Netflix and watch an tv show which have captions...don`t worry, my tablet is on the airplane mode so...
I'm glad you had fun! 😄 I'm so sorry about the whole caption thing! That is so wrong! There should be more options! 😡
I agree! Everything just needs to be more accessible for everyone!
Exactly! I'm so sorry!
Nah, this is ok! When I`m growing up, almost nothing is not accessible for me...but I became used to it, u know...I grew up in all hearing world and super less D/deaf world....😒
Thats ok! Everything just needs to be more accessible for everyone!
Exactly, it's wrong to not include people!
I know, right? For many years D/deaf people fighting for having an rights to have access and we, deaf people, still fighting for having rights to have access...and I agree that its wrong to not to add captions for D/deaf people...!
Could you guys let me know if you followed me I can't see who all is following me so could you let me know thatnks
I followed!
Oh I'm so sorry I didn't see you followed already!! (and sorry for not following back earlier~
Oh, that happens to the best of us! 😊
I followed you a few days ago, it would be nice if you can follow me back, thanks🥰🥰. By the way I love your posts!
You're following me, bestie!
You would not believe what happened to me yesterday! So, my family and I went to my Grandparent's house for dinner and s'mores. While we were talking around the campfire, my grandpa pointed out something kind of glowing in the sky. We all thought it was a comet or meteor 🌠(!!!). But my mom was looking on her phone and she found out that it was.... wait for it.... a Space X rocket ship 🚀!!!!!!! I thought that was so neat, I just couldn't keep myself from telling all of you! Bye for now!
OMG! That`s SUPER cool!
Omg that's SO COOL!!!
That's what I thought too!
That's SO cool!
wow thats so cool
I know, I really couldn't believe it!
OMG!!!! That's to cool to be true~~ It must be an exciting experience!!!
I know, right!
Omg that's so cool!
Definitely! 😀
oh my gosh! that is so cool! you are so lucky!!!! BTW i LOVE smores😁
Yes! I do too, although with my braces, my mom said I probably couldn't have it. So instead, I had a deconstructed s'more (I ate the marshmallow, then a piece of chocolate, then a few graham crackers). It wasn't too bad, though! 😂😂
Whoaaa!! That is a one in a lifetime experience!
No kidding!
Hi people! Just some proverbs for your life here. These are my fav top 5! 1.“The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intention” ― Kahlil Gibran 2. A child’s life is like a piece of paper on which every person leaves a mark. 3. He who asks is a fool for five minutes,but he who does not ask remains a fool forever. 4. Your teacher can open the door, but you must enter by yourself. 5. Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”~ Victoria
I love these proverbs! They're so true!
I love it! Thanks!
