Sansa’s Wedding Gown Part III:

The lovely embroidery band was created by artist Michele Carragher:

This is her description of the story that the band tells:

For Sansa’s wedding dress the designer Michele Clapton wanted to have an embroidered band that wrapped around which symbolically told Sansa’s life from the Tully and Stark beginnings to the entanglement with the Lannisters.

Her story starts at her lower back where the Tully fish and Stark dire wolf are entwined. As we move round to the front the Lannister Lion is becoming dominant over the dire wolf and at the back neck the Lions head is stamped onto Sansa. The dress colour was still very much Sansa Stark and the embroidery had pale golden tones but woven through the story are ripe red pomegranates, the red colour symbolising the growing Lannister influence over her.”

The pomegranate detail is interesting and invocative. Catherine of Aragon chose the pomegranate as her personal symbol as pomegranates are symbolic of fertility. The goddess Persephone ate a pomegranate given to her by Hades. This bound her to the underworld. She remain there for a third of the year, instead of being returned completely to her mother Demeter.

Sounds kind of familiar doesn’t it?

I don’t know if it was intentional, but having the Stark and Tully sigils form Sansa’s backbone is perfect.

This is so cool.

"We praise people for being “naturally” smart, too, “naturally” athletic, and etc. But studies..."

“We praise people for being “naturally” smart, too, “naturally” athletic, and etc. But studies continue to show, as they have for some time now, that it is generally healthier to praise schoolchildren for being hardworking, than for being naturally gifted. We know now that to emphasize a child’s inherent ability places pressure on that child to continue to be accidentally talented, which is something that is hard for anyone to control. When the children who are applauded for their natural skills fail, they are shown to take the failure very personally. After all, the process of their success has always seemed mysterious and basic and inseparable from the rest of their identity, so it must be they who are failing as whole people. When students are instead complimented and rewarded for their effort and improvement, they tend to not be so hard on themselves. When they fail, they reason, “Well, I’ll work harder next time.” They learn that they are capable of success, rather than constantly automatically deserving of it, and they learn simultaneously that they are bigger and more complex than their individual successes or failures.”

lovebeyondmeasure:

Quick, messy graphic to explain a concept that seems obvious to me:

We shouldn’t be helping women because they’re related to someone else. We shouldn’t be helping women because someone else cares about them. We should be helping women because they are people.

We should be helping women for their own sake.

Why is that a hard concept for people to grasp?
