Yesterday my mom posted a picture on Facebook of my 5 year old brother Sam wearing a pair of shoes he picked out for his first day of preschool.
She explained to him in the store that they were really made for girls. Sam then told her that he didn’t care and that “ninjas can wear pink shoes too.”
Sam went to preschool and got several compliments on his new shoes. Not one kid said anything negative toward him about it.
However, my mom received about 20 comments on the photo from various family members saying how “wrong” it is and how “things like this will affect him socially” and, put most eloquently by my great aunt, “that shit will turn him gay.”
My mom then deleted the photo and told Sam that he can wear whatever he wants to preschool, that it’s his decision. If he wants to wear pink shoes, he can wear pink shoes.
Sam then explained to her that he didn’t like them because they were pink, he liked them because they were “made out of zebras” and zebras are his favorite animal :)

El Ateneo in Buenos Aires – A bookstore to end all bookstores
In Buenos Aires, in the former Grand Theatre opened a unique, one of a kind Bookstore. This theatre was opened in may 1919, then served as a cinema in the second half of the 1920 ‘s. In 2000 studio Grupo Ilhsa transformed the space into a bookstore named El Ateneo Grand Splendid, which is now the flagship, and takes more than a million visitors a year. (via Freeyork)
The main floor is a little tacky though.
Domestic bliss… 1950 Hoover advertisement.
I have one of those vacuums, and I can totally attest to the fact that it didn’t work just like that. Haha.
