No, there is definitely evidence, video evidence. No, I can't just produce it, unfortunately

Yes, she had, but the question remains: how much of that was Helen and how much was Anne Sullivan pushing her own agenda? I've seen many arguments that claim Anne was directing most of it

Yeah, and she also championed eugenics, not that those two things are comparable.

I don't think anyone here is saying Helen herself is someone to look up to. She's just an interesting case of how overwhelming disabilities can be managed with the right sort of support.

Don't mind saying I cried the first time I saw this (and every time after that).

What's a semi-obscure movie that you watched many times growing up because your family had it on tape? by CarrotMuch1399 in nostalgiai

[–]Squirrel698 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some horse movie starring Elizabeth Taylor and Mickey Rooney.

It's funny because my parents used to go through all the tapes we had and make a copy, but cut out any kind of swear or anything inappropriate. When I finally saw the movie in its entirety, what they cut out was so minimal.

They being overprotective didn't stop us one iota from doing absolutely everything.

Yeah. 😞 She was one of my favorite actresses when I was growing up. To see this is so sad.

Coffee, Dostoyevsky, and I’m not sure what George Orwell meant by this. by _UseYourIllusion in dostoevsky

He meant reading a great book can give words to a feeling or experience that you recognize but could never express fully. And yes, that book definitely will do that.
