if i had a nickel for every time an adjacent-emo icon of the mid to late 2000s with an extremely troubled past concerning their amorphous queer identity and who announced something both expected and earth-shattering in 2019 wore a slutty post-coming-out dress in nashville, tennessee in the year 2022.
i’d have two nickels.
Awww… That was so cute 😍😍😍

In many cultures, ethnic groups, and nations around the world, hair is considered a source of power and prestige. African people brought these traditions and beliefs to the Americas and passed them down through the generations.
In my mother’s family (Black Americans from rural South Carolina) the women don’t cut their hair off unless absolutely necessary (i.e damage or routine trimming). Long hair is considered a symbol of beauty and power; my mother often told me that our hair holds our strength and power. Though my mother’s family has been American born for several generations, it is fascinating to see the beliefs and traditions of our African ancestors passed down. We are emotionally and spiritually attached to our hair, cutting it only with the knowledge that we are starting completely clean and removing stagnant energy.
Couple this with the forced removal and covering of our hair from the times of slavery and onward, and you can see why so many Black women and men alike take such pride and care in their natural hair and love to adorn our heads with wigs, weaves, braids, twists, accessories, and sharp designs.
Hair is not just hair in African diaspora cultures, and this is why the appropriation and stigma surrounding our hair is so harmful.
reblog this and you will get a random bootleg in your inbox
PLEASE DON’T SCROLL
even if you only reblog, that’s enough
1st of February, 2021
i was debating on whether or not i should post this on tumblr but seeing as there haven’t been posts about this yet, here it is. i’m exposing my real location and nationality but it doesn’t matter.
if you have been active on twitter, you may already know #savemyanmar is trending. long story short, there has been a military coup. several nations have released statements but i want to share insight on what’s happening in the country.
memes about a coup have been circulating around for a couple days and when i slept at 2 am last night, we were still under the rule of the National League for Democracy (NLD). while they are not technically democratic, they are the closest we’ve got. when my mother woke up at 6 this morning, she was notified that the country was now under the rule of the military.
banks services are no longer available. wifi was cut at around 7-8. some people got wifi again earlier but many got it barely thirty minutes ago. this is bad for businesses especially ones that require international communications. additionally, international students like myself are experiencing anxiety; how do we pay for and attend classes if we’re not sure wifi is a given?
myanmar has a long, complicated history with military governments. the last time the military went into rule was in 1962 and only stopped in 2011, following the 2010 elections. there was a huge protest in 1988 lead by students that resulted in lots of death. during the military junta, resources like rice, water, oil, were scarce. the gist is military rule is bad for us.
all of my followers are not myanmar citizens, i’m sure but as part of the international community, please help us. here is a petition that you can sign (although i’m not sure if that can do much). there may be protests in front of myanmar embassies so look out for those. most of all, please help spread awareness.
the people here are coping with dark humor, primarily in the form of memes but we don’t know how long this rule will last, even though the official statement said only a year. here’s something that pretty much sums up our coping mechanism:
again, even a reblog helps
update :: all telecommunication means will be cut off at 12 am MMT
Here’s me with a sword my jewish grandfather stole off of a nazi happy thanksgiving
My favorite part of Hanukkah season is hearing about how Jewish grandparents fucked over Nazi soldiers whenever possible in so many lovely ways.
Here is a story. My great Uncle Max was in a concentration camp. His was a work camp where they worked people to death. Max was a teenager. he used a rock as a pillow. Max was made to mix concrete for bunkers to protect the Nazis. Max Mixed it very wrong to make sure the bunkers would be built, but then fall apart. Who knows how many nazis he killed but I like to think it was a lot. Happy Hanukkah
Another story!
My Dad growing up lived next to the sweetest lady, who went through a concentration camp.
One of her jobs was to fill bullets with gunpowder so they’d fire. She knew that she likely wasn’t going to make it out alive, so she bravely snuck sand into the bullets as well, instead of just gunpowder, so they’d misfire and explode on the N*zis. She snuck sand in whenever she could, and who knows how many n*zis she killed. People ask why the Jews didn’t fight back to victim blame. It’s important to note their efforts have gone unnoticed from history.
We have always been here.

Book of Mormon!!! In cologne!!! I loved it!!!
To mark the one year anniversary. This is possibly the single best thing that ever happened to me.
@darthvaderkid - It all began today, a year ago.
I didn't know who you were, it was pouring and I stood at the stagedoor. I decided to give you my phone - or rather forced it into your hands, sorry - for you to take a picture of me and one of the actors. I never thought it was important who took the picture in that moment. I thanked you and that was it.
I don't believe in destiny, but somehow this has to be the reason I felt like searching through tumblr for audios or pictures and videos of the show. I somehow found your post.
You were rambling about a person who asked you to take their picture at the stage door.
And kids? That's how a beautiful friendship began!

I love how you support me and call me out on my bullshit. How I can call you out and we can talk about it like decent human beings. We strive to be better. We acknowledge each others opinion without ever looking down. You read me The Hunger Games until I fall asleep when my head won't stop harrassing me. You love birds so much, you cannot stop talking about them, just like me with my cats. You'd have dance parties with me, dancing like nobody's watching right from the beginning where we didn't really know each other. You were able to let me let loose and sing in front of you. You understand me even if you don't. You allow me to spam you with whatever thought crosses my mind. We discuss fanfictions without judging each other. I guess I could write so many more things... but the most important thing is:
You make me feel safe and I appreciate you so much!
Thank you ♡ I miss you. This pandemic needs to be over soon.
BRO STOP YOU ARE BEING TOO CUTE 🥰
Today a year ago my life changed for the better and I want you all to know that, cause I met this amazing amazing human trough Book of Mormon.
We have gone trough so much in just a year already and you can't believe how happy I am to know her - I seriously can't believe it's been a year already!
Tomorrow a year ago a beautiful friendship started, we klicked the moment we wrote each other on Tumblr and directly met two weeks after that.
And since then we saw each other loose it trough anxiety a few times, had endless dance parties, hit each other with the tennis ball thingy in my garden, watched almost the entirety of 911 together, and even planned a trip to see Musicals together, even tho we couldn't go trough with it cause Corona - also the reason we haven't seen each other since September 😔.
I can't wait to see you again! Till we meet again!
you know, back when i first read the lightining theif the lotus hotel seemed like a nightmare but now?????? girl, free food, free hotel room, free entertainment and zero responsibilities for the next hundreds of years??????? the guys running the hotel had the right idea because i’m ready to leave this horrifying reality, where do i check in
I’m losing my SHIT
This is some magical shit
The sad thing is, I don’t know who’s the bigger idiot.
I would argue its the Kara person - because she doesn’t it. Mike is pointing out the obvious
the obvious? what do you mean?
that she played ignorant, was treated accordingly, and that it was silly that she took offense over being deceptive about her understanding
could you explain further? I’m not sure I understand your meaning
I’ve never seen two murders in one post before.
i’m teaching a tiny little girl to say “nonbinary” and she keeps saying “no banana” and once she said “none bananananary” and honestly? close enough, she’s adorable and her parents are super chill with me and they already taught her to say genderfluid (to her it’s genner-flooood) and transgender (trains genner) and a bunch of sexualities so now i’m adding “none bananananary” to the mix
Taught a kid I was babysitting how to say “genderqueer” and he keeps forgetting how to pronounce it so another good one is “gender weird” and I love it so much
the genners:
trains genner
no banana
genner floooood
gender weird
Lexi McIntosh because she doesn’t get enough love in this fandom!
