I have a very sweet group of 13-14ish year old girls following me so I just wanted to say a few words about safety and grooming really quickly because I’ve been (hopefully needlessly) stressed about this and it’s sometimes more subtle than like. Asking for nudes

• Adults you meet online should not be talking to you about sex. Full stop. This includes smut, their sex life, your sex life, and “educating” you about sex. If an adult is talking to you about sex in ANY context, BLOCK THEM. Once again, THIS INCLUDES FANDOM SHIT. That is still inappropriate.

If you’re curious about sex, which is Totally normal, you can ask a trusted adult or mentor figure you know IN REAL LIFE, and if you don’t have one, there are lots of very straightforward and strictly educational resources at Planned Parenthood’s website and

• As much as I value younger girls as people (this is not a dig at y’all ❤️), it is weird to be an adult and be CLOSE friends with a young teenager. Even if you don’t perceive your interactions as inappropriate, it’s weird.

This is not because you’re not interesting or fun, but because adults really have nothing in common emotionally with eighth graders, and ALL of us know that. Every single one of us. An adult has nothing to gain from confiding in a person in a middle school. If a grown man or woman is telling you their deepest, darkest secrets, messaging you about their problems on a regular basis, or asking you to confide in them, that is a red flag. Block them.

• If an adult is complimenting you on your appearance in any way that you would not compliment an 8-year-old, BLOCK THEM. It’s completely not appropriate for an adult to tell you that you look hot, your makeup is sexy, etc. That’s fucking weird.

• If they talk about how mature you are for your age, BLOCK THEM. You might very well be mature for your age, but you’re not mature enough to change the fact that you’re in a completely different life stage than a grown adult.

(This applies to the 12-14 crowd—not telling you to block your 18 y/o friends if you’re 16 haha)

Go watch Pixar’s Soul if you have Disney+.

Go watch Soul because it actually has black people on screen for most of the movie.

Go watch Soul because we’re not caricatures or flat, one-note black stereotypes.

Go watch Soul because it actually has an important message on one’s passion and purpose in life that I refuse to spoil here.

Go watch Soul because the trailers DON’T actually give away the plot and the movie’s genuinely better the trailers.

Go watch Soul because you bet your ass corporate’s gonna blame low numbers on the film having vast majority black characters and try to stop this kinda movie from ever happening again.

Go watch Soul because judging the entirety of a movie before it even airs based on the freakin’ trailer (which is hardly ever actually put together by the creators of the film itself and is more tied to the marketing department) instead of the actual film itself is an incredibly ignorant thing to do.

Go watch Soul and form your own opinion instead of jumping on a woke bandwagon.

Signed,

A black person that actually watched this movie

i haven’t seen Supernatural in years but i still can’t get over the fact that they had a secret 3rd brother who got kicked into hell and then they just straight up forgot about him.

lesbianshepard

supernatural is about to end and they still haven’t remembered their long lost third brother. 10/10 writing on the show.

Zendaya Hosted Tommy Hilfiger Fashion Show Featuring All Black Women

Zendaya presented her first collection with Tommy Hilfiger in Paris with a soulful backdrop of music and featuring an all-black cast of models.

The actress, singer and now fashion designer wanted to pay homage to the black women who have paved the way for her success.

With the encouragement of her creative partner and stylist, Law Roach, Zendaya decided to go for it. She told Hilfiger, “I want to make a show inspired by the women who made it possible for me to be in the position where I am now. Honestly, I just wanted to say “thank you” to them through this show.

Her show included a cast of 59 black models, from 18 to 70 years old. Icons such as Beverly Johnson, Veronica Webb, Beverly Peele, Pat Cleveland, and Grace Jones participated in the legendary show.

Not only were all the models black women, there was full body and age diversity with hair and makeup by iconic black pioneers Pat McGrath and Kim Kimble.

We all should be celebrating Zendaya!!! She is one of the few light skinned celebrities who truly practices what she preaches.

You read “ctrl” as “control” but you don’t read “alt” as “alternative”

At this point we can stop with the whole “it’s just a meme thing” These people obviously believe it means exactly what 4chan said it does.

shout out to the pissy jerk who lit my asks up like two months back because “you people want everything to be a supremacist symbol”

polar-chibi

Shit i had no idea it was a white supremacy thing. I honestly thought it was one of those cool hand gestures like a shurg or something. The internet really should expose racist shit like this more often instead of promoting it as a trend

lord-of-christmas-lights

Jeez. No. Listen.

The hand symbol of forming a ring with your thumb and pointer finger has been around since Ancient Greece times. It had different connotations, often associated with love and kissing, back then. Throughout the centuries and cultures, it has meant different things. In France, I believe, it is a symbol meaning “worth nothing.” In many Mediterranean countries, it is a vulgar sign involving someone’s anus. In Arabic cultures, it can represent curses and evil eyes.

About 200ish years ago in English culture, it started to become a symbol for OK, derived from a comic strip that said “orl korrek” (all correct). That’s been its basic meaning since for English speakers. It’s mainly used by divers to signal that things are okay under water. The circle game has been around since the 1980s. The 👌 symbol is the hand sign for the letter f and the number 9 in American Sign Language (ASL), and has been since the language was first invented in the 19th century.

When did this whole white supremacy thing start?

2017. On 4chan.

So what is ACTUALLY happening is that neo-nazi internet trolls have taken another common and generally good symbol and given it a negative power. If it continues to grow as such, then yes, you should probably stop using it. But for the love of God, do not start jumping down people’s throats if they use it. Currently, it still is mainly used as the OK symbol or as a meme reference.

It is not racist shit. Yet. Please, do not let it become such a symbol.
