“Because I don’t want to” is a good enough reason. Honor your boundaries.

[wetheurban]

It all starts with one quiet decision: “I want to get better.”

This is interesting. After experiencing heartbreak, I stopped listening to love songs. I even stopped watching romantic movies. I was trying to avoid it; out of sight out of mind. In reality, the craving for romantic love comes from my heart and soul. Love is abundant. 🤍 Grateful for the reminder.

Take your vitamin D. Take your magnesium. Go to therapy. Prioritize hydration. Make a daily to-do list. Keep your space clean. Wear sunscreen. Meditate, journal, stretch. Focus on what you can control. Apply actions to intentions. Give yourself grace. Above all, love yourself.

I know that one day when you’re finally in the place you’ve dreamt of, you’ll look back at this period of your life and feel so grateful that you didn’t give up.

—Job Maseko, a WW2 hero, sank a NAZI ship with a bomb made from a tin can with condensed milk. He was denied the highest military decoration, due to his race. —Maseko was working as a delivery driver when he volunteered for service in the South African Native Military Corps during WWII (NMC). Later he was sent to the 2nd South African Infantry Division after finishing basic training in North Africa. —Due to South African race regulations at the time, they were unable to carry firearms. They were only allowed traditional weapons such as spears for guard and ceremonial duty. —Maseko served as a stretcher carrier for the allied forces in North Africa, providing medical assistance to the wounded. When his commander surrendered to the Germans at Tobruk in June 1942, he became a prisoner of war. He was forced to work on the ports at Tobruk. — Being a former miner, he made an astonishing bomb on July 21 using condensed milk tin, cordite & a long fuse. He loaded the little tin with gunpowder and placed it in the hold of a German ship near some petrol drums. —He planted his bomb deep in the hold on June 21, 1942, just before they were set to leave the already overloaded ship. He lighted the fuse and dashed to the dock. An enormous explosion erupted sinking the ship instantly. —He eventually escaped from the prisoner of war camp and rise to the rank of lance corporal. He was supposed to get the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious millitary award but instead received a mere Military Medal.

She was only 39 😞

Several news sources have reported that Michelle Trachtenberg has passed away.

The actress started acting in commercials at age 3, and went on to star in some of your favourite television shows and movies.

You may remember Michelle from ‘Harriet The Spy’, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and Gossip Girls.

All articles state her death was from ‘natural causes’.

Booker Wright was an African American waiter in Greenwood, Mississippi, who gained national attention after appearing in the 1966 NBC documentary Mississippi: A Self-Portrait. In the film, he spoke candidly about the racism he endured while working as a waiter at Lusco’s, a white-owned restaurant, while also running his own business, Booker’s Place, a café that served Black customers.

His appearance in the documentary was groundbreaking but came at a great cost. After the film aired, he faced severe backlash from the white community. He was beaten by police, lost his job at Lusco’s, and his business was targeted.

In 1973, Booker Wright was tragically shot and killed at his café. The official story was that he was murdered by a man named Leroy Gibson over a money dispute, but some believe his killing was linked to retaliation for his statements in the documentary.

His legacy was later revisited in the 2012 documentary Booker’s Place: A Mississippi Story, directed by Raymond De Felitta and co-produced by Wright’s granddaughter, Yvette Johnson. It explored his courage and the impact of his words on civil rights history.

🌟 New

The character limit has been raised from 500 characters to 1,975 characters for all replies on web! No more having to string multiple replies together to say what you want. Thank you to everyone who tested this first in communities!

We started enabling some of those long-anticipated community discovery features for a subset of users! Anyone currently in a community, plus a small and random percentage of all users, will see a new dropdown option on search that lets you browse communities related to your search term. We will also show a sidebar of “Related Communities” on the web for some folks. Communities that are free-to-join will be ranked higher, so if you are the admin of your community and want to get your community in front of more eyes, consider changing your join setting from “invite-only” to “free to join.” We also leverage the tags (in addition to title and description) that you’ve set for your community to rank results, so update those if you haven’t yet!

When you engage with your first community, new signposts will guide you through the experience.

🛠 Fixed

When purchasing items in TumblrMart, important elements will no longer be missing or obscured.

🚧 Ongoing

No ongoing incidents to speak of right now.

🌱 Upcoming

Over the next little while, we’ll slowly increase that percentage of random users until all users are able to find communities via search.
