“The Horn of plenty, the horn of plenty overflows. Panem will raise above, Panem shall raise above. May our nation never fall.”
Horn of Plenty. The beautiful National Anthem of Panem. May our nation never fall.
(I think those are the lyrics for the first verse at least, anyway. There are some phrases that repeat throughout, but there are some lines I cannot make out! Remember that these may be wrong! At least I had a go haha)
I’m borrowing mylittlefaith’s TV meme, and creating one for musical theatre because I wanted to do a massive picspam, but I needed some structure. Feel free to steal to create your own spam.

Doing this! No idea how long it will take me to actually finish this, but I’m going to try all the same. :)
Homophobia: The fear that another man will treat you like you treat women.
We were discussing homosexuality because of an allusion to it in the book we were reading, and several boys made comments such as, “That’s disgusting.” We got into the debate and eventually a boy admitted that he was terrified/disgusted when he was once sharing a taxi and the other male passenger made a pass at him.
The lightbulb went off. “Oh,” I said. “I get it. See, you are afraid, because for the first time in your life you have found yourself a victim of unwanted sexual advances by someone who has the physical ability to use force against you.” The boy nodded and shuddered visibly.
“But,” I continued. “As a woman, you learn to live with that from the time you are fourteen, and it never stops. We live with that fear every day of our lives. Every man walking through the parking garage the same time you are is either just a harmless stranger or a potential rapist. Every time.”
The girls in the room nodded, agreeing. The boys seemed genuinely shocked.
“So think about that the next time you hit on a girl. Maybe, like you in the taxi, she doesn’t actually want you to.”→ a Dish reader
