[bambinastellina]

omg this is literally days before the world broke out with covid 😵‍💫 I look completely different

[bambinastellina]

sometimes I feel like I’m crazy, but not crazy enough to explain it to people.

[lifeinpoetry]

I [forgive] myself for loving

those who have harmed me    for cooking them dinner & burning the rice    forgetting to add pepper    or make myself a plate     I [forgive] myself for staying     I [forgive]

myself for staying      until I left my skin

[guccixcucci]

Looks like they're not gonna arrest Breonna Taylor's killers. I hope y'all burn the city down

[guccixcucci]

[zeethearies]

Whelp! I'm ready to see some action. 'Cause if no one's getting charged, that's Grade A bullshit and folks aren't gonna stand for it and shouldn't have to. Breonna was innocent.

[daddyapo-deactivated20190625]

New rule, non muslims can’t say the word jihad. Until you stop conflating a word that means personal struggle with faith and temptation with terrorism youre just not allowed to say it.

[moody-poet-deactivated20180227]

I’m not a Muslim but I just thought I would reblog this because I think it’s definitely worth listening to.

[daddyapo-deactivated20190625]

It’s totally okay for non muslims to reblog this, and i encourage it. Im just glad you’re listening.

[neuroatypically-speaking]

Oh god, finally someone said it. Every time I see words like “jihadist” I want to scream, but I’m not Muslim, so I wasn’t sure I should say anything. 

Jihad means struggle. It doesn’t mean holy war or anything like it. In fact, there is no word in Islam for holy war, because the nature of Islam does not leave room for holy war. Islam has a juridical system, not a Pope who can just say “Go wage holy war.” Conflating the personal nature of jihad with violence is so very gross and it needs to stop. Period.

[geeko-kat]

Actually, there’s another word non-muslims in the media shouldn’t use:

Allahu Akbar. It’s not a statement of terrorism. It means “god is great”. It’s something we say to praise our lord. It’s what we say when we pray. It’s not a statement of terrorism. Allahu Akbar doesn’t mean terrorism stop using it as one

[liberalautisticqueernerd831-dea]

I would really appreciate it if non Muslims understood this

[phenomenal-eggplant]

So I’m rewatching Avatar, like any normal person right now, and I’m pretty sure that when Zuko’s trying to join the Gaang–after following them around the world for almost a year…..

he doesn’t know Aang’s name

[phenomenal-eggplant]

oh my god, now I’m just imagining this scene happening and he’s not even listening to the second half of Katara’s threat, he’s just trying to figure out who the fuck Aang is

Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Tales of Ba Sing Se (2006) THE TALE OF IROH

[mspaintly]

I think it’s important for people to know that Mako was the original voice actor of Uncle Iroh. He had esophageal cancer. Tales from Ba Sing Se was his last day of voice work for the show before he passed away. The drawing of Iroh’s son here in this episode was based on Mako himself when he was young, and the song Leaves from the Vine was written about him because he had also been a soldier. He never got to see the episode air. In Legend of Korra, Mako was named after him. Greg Baldwin took over for him after he passed, but refuses to sing Leaves from the Vine because “that’s Mako’s song.”

[fatsexybitch]

Im not sure how to cope with this

[mysharona1987]

[daniel-oneiroi]

i legit don’t know how people don’t think that the asian woman married to this white cop, who has 18 other charges of police brutality that were KNOWN ABOUT, wanted to leave him

like his violence would shut off when he got home

like he wasnt even scarier where there weren’t cameras

like she could just report him to someone and get a restraining order

lile legally their bank account wasn’t tied with him having full access to viewing and approving every dollar

like she ever had a chance to leave or even speak against him

before he went to jail, maybe for life

like she isn’t in more danger now, from retaliation

because all his cop friends? they’re running free

with license plate scanners, with identity tracking info, with background check info, with the right to pull her over anywhere she flees to

like she won’t have a terrible accident soon after the divorce

don’t look away from her

[puttingherinhistory]

I feel sick looking at the notes. It’s a bunch of people saying that they don’t feel bad for her and she’s “getting what she deserves” for marrying a cop. So a woman of color who’s also likely a domestic violence victim of this violently racist white man is somehow at fault and somehow to blame for what he did? Misogyny 101: women are always at fault for the fucked up shit men do, and women always deserve the gender based violence enacted on them.

[biseckuals]

anyway, bisexuality is inclusive of trans and nonbinary people! bisexuality is not in any way regressive or exclusionary! bisexuality is not a lesser sexuality and bisexual is not a dirty word! don’t let anyone tell u other wise, u lovely bicon

[officialunitedstates]

She smelled like hand sanitizer, pure and reminiscent of a hospital.  Her lips were like marble, cold and smooth.  Her eyes were like a stop light, you wanted them to be green but they were red and occasionally yellow.

[katharinemoe]

okay?

[officialunitedstates]

This isn’t about you.  Mind your business

Say it. Say it’s about edward cullen, coward

“Here is the thing to understand about flattening the curve. It only works if we take necessary measures before they seem necessary. And if it works, people will think we over-reacted. We have to be willing to look like we over-reacted.”
