I don’t mean to impose a personal favour on you guys, but I really would like to ask that everyone who follows me reblog this.

I don’t think I made it very clear but last month I was sexually assaulted by someone who I thought was my friend (I don’t want to talk about it don’t ask), and it’s… really fucked with my head.

Had I known this a month ago I would have been able to get away.

So, essentially, I’m really pleading with you to reblog this so everyone who follows you doesn’t get stuck in the same position I was with no way out.

I mean again I don’t want the point of this to be my sob story or whatever but if you could reblog this it would seriously mean a lot

This is one of the first moves I was taught in Krav Maga, and it is one of the most effective.

It took me about a half hour to get down with practice, but once you get it, it’s an intuitive movement.

Please pass this along, it will save lives.

EXACTLY PREACH

Black people are the most compassionate, most forgiving, most loving souls on Earth so understand when you get us to a point of “fuck it” and not even mentioning a prayer, you fucked up. That’s not even in our nature to be like this, y’all created these points. I don’t want to pray. I’m not kumbaya-ing. I’m not wishing your family peace. Fuck all that.

I want a love where I don’t have to question if they really love me. Like without a doubt in my mind I’ll already know that the love is there. That’s what I want.

all this “woke”/my melanin pops" shit myopic. Doesn’t liberate nothing, it’s shallow & roots of our issues remain intact

Can I @ all of tumblr on this post? Cuz this is such a necessary point to understand. Just being unapologetically black is not enough. We must understand and ACTIVELY engage in the politics of blackness and even begin to move past that and into an understanding of how capitalism uses race to oppress the people. And from there we must begin to threaten the structure that is in place. Racism is not the only or even the largest issue, it is simply a pillar that holds up a larger more deadly system. We need to stop talking and tweeting about “woke” and actually become revolutionaries if we want to see the change we rant about on social media.

Any of y'all recognize this little girl???

I really just want a boyfriend so that I can plan surprises and things for him. I wanna send random sexy and/or weird pictures. I miss inside jokes and sharing my food with somebody. I want to wear someone's T-shirts and shorts. I miss cooking for somebody and buying gifts for no reason. 😔
