THIS IS ADORABLE

twilightisgaynow

when your daughter’s dating some pale asshole but u cant ban her from seeing him bc u respect her bodily autonomy and decision making skills and also u respect the asshole’s equally pale dr father so ur stuck in limbo scared that he’s gonna push her over the edge and back into her depression again or that theyll just fuck off and elope without telling u

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!

ALWAYS Reblog!!!

Check those videos above! Note that they’re all from later in her career, too, and remember that Sister Rosetta was cooking up the stew of gospel and the blues that birthed rock and roll before Ray Charles was even born.

Do you need a reminder

Of the love that we gave you?

You're walking away

But we'll always be watching you

How to see whether a Chinese handmade teapot is well done or not - quality of the spout is an important standard.

that last teapot is like witnessing an eternal and important truth

I just watched this with the sound on and i really recommend it because the utter silence of the last teapot is both perfectly predictable and totally remarkable.

Me: *watches again with the sound on*

Youngest Spawn: What is this? *cranes head to see*

Me: Teapots, being rated by-

YS: Oh! By their Laminar Flow?

Me: Uh. What is Laminar Flow?

YS: It’s how smooth and unchanging is the movement of a fluid.

Me: Oh! Yes, it is that.

YS: It IS! That’s so cool!

Me: Wait, fully, what is Laminar Flow?

YS: It is the smoothness and unchanging movement of a fluid. The common misconception is that it’s a question of how round it is, but really it is how consistent it is. Like, you know how when you turn the sink on and the water flows evenly and clear? Laminar Flow. But then you turn it up all the way and there’s bubbles and it’s white and frothy and loud? That’s Turbulent Flow.

Me: Wow. COOL!

YS: I know, right?
