Sometimes I like to imagine alternate timelines in which there’s a version of me that made all the right choices and ultimately found her happiness.

Black girls deserve to learn free from bias and stereotypes.

Most black girls experience this hatred at schools. And classmates are not the only problem, there is no support from teachers, too. That’s why they get so affected by their school experiences. Black kids deserve to be treated just like everybody else, they want to study, they want to learn something ,too. However due to prejudice they are 5 times more likely to be suspended than their white peers and it can ruin their lives forever.  National Women’s Law Center created this video to change the situation. Join the movement to help black girls feel normal and get the same opportunities everybody else has.

POINTS TO REMEMBER

-JUST BECAUSE YOU GAVE BIRTH DO A CHILD DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE  A GOOD PARENT 

-JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE A PARENT DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE ALWAYS RIGHT

- GIVING BIRTH TO A PERSON DOES NOT GIVE YOU A RIGHT TO FORCE YOUR OPINIONS ON THAT PERSON

-BEING A PARENT DOES NOT GIVE YOU A RIGHT TO READ YOUR CHILD’S JOURNALS AND  CHATS WITH FRIENDS

The Orlando City Soccer Club’s new stadium includes a beautiful memorial honoring the victims of the massacre at Pulse. 49 seats are arranged together in a rainbow, each representing one of the victims.

“We put them in Section 12, obviously because we felt that was pertinent — it was June 12 last year when the tragedy happened,” said Phil Rawlins, the team’s founder, while standing before the purple, blue, green, yellow, orange and red rows. A stamp in the center of each seat reads #OrlandoUnited.

“So they’re right here in Section 12, they’re right down by the benches. They’ll certainly be seen by everybody inside the stadium, and a very significant reminder of that day,” he said.

The seats will be a permanent memorial at the stadium. Breathtaking. (via the Huffington Post)

Golly gee I hope when yall preach about normalizing body hair on women it includes trans women and women of color

And like, I’m talking about other than quirky dyed armpit hair. I’m talking facial hair, support girls with mustaches, support girls with 5 o'clock shadow, I’m talking dark thick leg hair, if you’re gonna support women having hair you better be okay with it anywhere and everywhere and not just on conventionally good looking skinny white cis women…

The inferiority of women is man-made.

Wow, she slept with ten different guys that is so— not my place to judge because a woman can do whatever she wants and sleep with whoever she wants because it doesn’t affect me.

Me, just learning about radical feminism: Ok this is good stuff to know, but I'm not gonna be one of THOSE feminists

Me now: *Burning a bra while screaming at the full moon, my leg hair billowing in the wind*
