Reading Can Be Used In Every Facet Of Our Life. Through Reading We Learn How To Communicate With Others

Reading can be used in every facet of our life. Through reading we learn how to communicate with others and gain a plethora of knowledge. Video creators must read. Through reading we learn through example how to tell a story. We observe how to pace a story and make it climax. Through the experience of reading we learn how stories can emotionally affect us and change the world. In the last two decades, J.K. Rowling has inspired a new generation to love reading again. J.K. Rowling’s fantastical wizarding world shows drew people into the art of storytelling. What many people do not know, is that while J.K. Rowling’s books caused reading to explode, her books also inspired an outpouring of creativity. The Harry Potter Convention LeakyCon, is an example of this. LeakyCon is a convention started by the Leaky Cauldron fan site. The convention emphasizes three things: Charity, Community, and Creativity. LeakyCon was an amazing weekend with a highlights such as A Very Potter Senior Year, the final segment in Team Starkid’s Harry Potter Musical Trilogy, a panel with the Harry Potter Actors, and the Esther Earl Rocking Charity Ball. Just as amazing as the variety of programs was the incredibly friendly fans who all gathered to celebrate what they love. LeakyCon was at its core a celebration: a celebration of ourselves, a celebration of storytelling, and a celebration of Harry.

In 2010, there were 8 school shootings in the US.

In 2011, there were 10.

In 2012, there were 14.

In 2013? 28.

In the first half of 2014 alone, we have already suffered 38 school shootings. 

If that doesn’t horrify you, then I don’t know what would.

today my anthro professor said something kindof really beautiful:

"you all have a little bit of ‘I want to save the world’ in you, that’s why you’re here, in college. I want you to know that it’s okay if you only save one person, and it’s okay if that person is you"

STARKID IS COMING TO PORTLAND, BUT WHO WILL BE THERE? We Figure You Guys Could Guess That After Last

STARKID IS COMING TO PORTLAND, BUT WHO WILL BE THERE? We figure you guys could guess that after last year we’d be inviting back Team StarKid to be part of LeakyCon Portland, but we know you DON’T know who will be there this year as part of our Very StarKid Event.  Want to find out?  We’ve got exclusive selfies from the StarKids to reveal their participation, but to see them you have to unlock the grid above, starting right here on Tumblr. When this post gets 500 notes, we’ll unlock the first StarKid performer (in a new post) and so on until we move to the next social media platform. 

Got your reblog finger ready?  GO!
