Meet Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the black woman who invented that rock and roll sound 

You know what’s sad, before I even read this article I was ready to refute this because I grew up believing Chuck Berry created Rock and roll. It’s said how so many knew of this great woman yet none spoke on her greatness.

I also discovered Big Mama Thornton, who’s another hugely influential early inventor of rock and roll — I’m pretty sure Hound Dog was originally popularized by her, before Elvis stole it.

Love Sister Rosetta Tharpe! #BlackGirlMagic

A few of her performances:

Happy Black History Month!

*Roly Polies Came From the Sea to Conquer the Earth*

Pill bugs. Doodle bugs. Potato bugs. Wood Shrimp. Whatever you call them, there’s something less creepy about these critters than other insects. Maybe it’s because they’re not insects at all. From @kqedscience and @pbsdigitalstudios!

Princess, General and so much more. Carrie Fisher was iconic in so many ways.

From her openness about mental health and addiction to her insatiable humor, she was fantastic. Her words on mental health have always been helpful to me when I felt pretty beat up by anxiety and depression.

Godspeed, Princess. May the Force be with you, always.
