Can we talk about the real hero of the battle of winterfell? Lady Lyanna fucking Mormont did that shit. She ran straight into the fray for her people, and took down a fucking giant. I can’t think of a better legacy for that badass girl (and I say girl, not woman, so we can all remember that this was a child who made the ultimate sacrifice for her people) than to have died doing what all the grown, strong men in that courtyard couldn’t.
…ok but Arya got her back blown out and immediately went to kill the night king. honestly, iconic
God is a woman and her name is Arya Stark thank you for coming to my tedtalk

Can go suck a dick 🙃
straight boys are weak and pathetic, queer girls walk into the ladies changing room and see ten women naked, do they stare? do they say something inappropriate? do they make them uncomfortable? no because they have the common fucking sense to recognise when a situation is sexual and that people deserve the most basic level of respect to not be harassed, yet here we are banning shorts and low cut tops in school because straight boys are weak and pathetic
okay i made this post this morning and it has since had eighty two thousand notes, it’s been featured on reddit, facebook, twitter i’ve been sent multiple death threats and messages that i don’t even want to describe
and i have to apologise
i’ve seen the error of my ways
straight boys are not 'weak and pathetic'
straight boys are weak, pathetic and fucking annoying
My favorite post
Attempting to learn 3 different languages (French, Spanish, and ASL) to set me apart from all of the other students so I can get into this program next fall. 🙃

The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself.

I’m here every day. I’ve been homeless since mid-August last year. I come to the fourth floor, go back by the fireplace to the comfy chairs, get whatever books I want and start reading. I have friends who come here too, so sometimes we’ll sit and read together. If you don’t have money, you can’t just go sit anywhere in this city. But at the library you can, and there’s no judgment passed on you.
There are a lot of homeless people who are mentally ill. I’m bipolar. Mental illness doesn’t often allow you to make much money and this town is way overpriced. A few years back I could get an apartment for $600, but not anymore. They won’t even look at you.
When I take my medicine I’m pretty good, but when I get going, I get going. Very manic. I’ve pretty much got it where I want it, but it’s taken a long time to find it in terms of the right medicine and the right living situation, which isn’t ideal yet, but it will be. To deal with this problem, I really have to be around something stable.
I’m getting into a program called Shelter Plus Care that will help me get a voucher for shelter. I also get an ARMHS worker to help me get to my appointments and then I have a case manager who oversees it all. Given my situation, these are things that I probably should have been connected with a long time ago, but I wasn’t and that’s ok. I didn’t make the right effort. But now I have and the people who have helped me have gone way above and beyond what they need to do for their jobs.
What do you wish people who don’t struggle with mental illness knew about it? Very few mentally ill people are dangerous. We’re more scared of you than you are of us.

I just left a plantation tour in Louisiana. I have a lot to say…
SAY IT!
I honestly thought I knew everything about slavery. Not so.
The owner of this particular plantation had it built by slaves for 3 years. Every brick was handmade. Over 120,000 bricks on 2,000+ acres of land (this place was huge.) The clay used for the bricks came from the Mississippi River. The majority of the slaves are buried under the Levees and water. Some are buried with their Masters. Not allowed to live with them but could be dead with them.
Before you enter the house, there’s a list of slaves who lived here including their age and how much they were purchased for. 124 total. Some slaves were worth as little as $25. As young as 5 years old.
On this particular plantation, the owner was big on punishment…he used noise making neck restraints. Imagine three 4lb balls around your neck with bells inside. Children were restrained by ankle locks that connected between their ankles.
This was a sugar cane plantation, one the worst practices to involve slaves because of its danger. A lot of slaves were decapitated, amputees and killed from the fields and machinery. A lot of kids lost their lives creating sugar. Speaking of children, a child stood in the living room and operated the fan with a string while guests ate dinner. As young as 3 years old.
Here’s what shook me even further: Before the Civil War, a lot of slave owners were going in debt and could not afford their properties and were not producing enough cotton and sugar to maintain their lifestyles. Slaves were used as HUMAN CREDIT CARDS. Slaves were a guaranteed line of credit. You could get HALF of your property’s value depending on how many healthy and able slaves you owned.
My people were human credit cards and lines of credit to BANKS. We were property. We were labeled as equipment and nothing more.
There is no such thing as a good slave owner. They owned my PEOPLE and used them as checks and balances. This cycle continues with prison and brutality. I do not want to hear shit about “Why can only Black people say this or that?” I don’t want to hear shit about “we’re all human.”
And by the way, not one of those slaves are at rest. Those spirits were so alive, you could feel their presence, their pain and someday, their revenge.
“Happiness is for stupid, ignorant people.” She huffed quietly. “Educated people feel happiness too, I’m sure.” Clarke grinned, looking at the giggling couple infront of the swing set. “I never said uneducated, do not mistake education for intelligence. Intelligence is knowing you cannot know everything. Education is believing you can know everything. Besides happiness is contentness, and intellectuals are never content. Intelligent people never dull their feelings down to just one anyways. They feel blissful, exhilarated, joyful, uncontainable, infinite. Intelligent people feel infinite.”
