The difference between my summer skin tone and my winter skin tone makes me hesitant to believe any skin bleaching rumors about celebrities tbh

[superbassic-deactivated20140518]

You look better light skinned tbh

[aaliyahbreaux]

Ya know at first I was just gonna reply with a clever retort along the lines of “you would sound a lot smarter with your mouth closed”, and call it a day. But tbh I’m not mad at you for saying that, I pity you. You’re just another black woman thats been brainwashed by the media into having that “lightskin is the rightskin” mentality. Hopefully one day you’ll open your eyes and realize that beauty isn’t just Beyonce and Rihanna but also Naomi Campbell, Gabrielle Union and Lupita Nyong’o.😊😌

[pinkw0rld-deactivated20210309]

remember when you were 12 and the internet seemed like an endless source of fun and now you just scroll through tumblr and check instagram?

[pinkw0rld-deactivated20210309]

or is that just me

[p1x1egutz]

thought i was the only that felt this way lol

[parallaxia]

The internet when you were 12 in 2007: Most of your friends didn't use it and neither did your parents. Corporations didn't fully understand it yet, commercialization consisted almost exclusively of banner ads. The most popular social media was MySpace, of which you could personalize almost every aspect and nobody's parents used. Instead of having one Nerd Website that everyone uses, you had accounts on a bunch of different forums related to your interests and each had its own unique environment. YouTube was an uncharted terrain of kids just like you uploading whatever they wanted, unpolished and unedited with no ad partnerships.

The internet in 2020: Literally everyone is online, every member of your family has an account on each of the most popular websites. Instead of being a place you can enter on your own terms when you're ready, the internet now comes to you, giving you a little spike of anxiety with every new notification. Ad spam is everywhere and it's becoming increasingly harder to differentiate between real people and marketing schemes. The most popular social media websites have streamlined, neutral colored UIs that cannot be personalized at all beyond a singular photo and username. Instead of being a haven for fellow weirdos, everyone is a denizen of the internet now. 90% of online activity for your interests takes place on a single website, the community is going to be devastated if it ever goes down but what can be done? YouTube is just mainstream television but on the internet now, YouTubers are rich celebrities who live in Hollywood mansions.

[cookie-sheet-toboggan]

as a canadian, i fucking hate this. y'all don’t understand how confusing it is being a british commonwealth country in america. i don’t know how to spell fucking anything. fuck.

[rowark]

Legit.

Only exacerbated by word programs and cell phones that red squiggle line Canadian spellings and make you second guess everything you thought you knew.

I don’t remember now what blog, but once I read a post from someone on complaining about American spelling and it was something like “Laura Secord did not walk 32km through a swamp so I spell colour without a u, like a pleb.”

And like… I think of that any time I notice any Americanization now 😂😂

[lavendersblues]

Okay as an American I’m genuinely confused bc I have used both but in different contexts for most of my life?

The fire burned, and the food was burnt.

The little girl dreamed, but what she dreamt was horrible.

The man kneeled in deference, but he knelt on the bones of his fallen allies.

He took a breath and leaped — and leapt straight into the bay.

I didn’t know how it was spelled, so I just…. no okay spelt is definitely not in my roster. It should be with the amount of Queen’s English I’ve apparently been using my entire life???

EDIT: NOPE HOLD ON JUST FOUND ONE —

She didn’t know how it was spelled, and that spelt certain disaster for her spelling bee award.

[lavendersblues]

To make it even more confusing on this go around I just realized I use the UK version in place of adding ‘had’ in front??? So what’s the grammar rule I’m apparently bending here? I’m genuinely genuinely so confused. I’ve always been intuitively good at English which allowed me to skirt by standardized tests in the US so I don’t actually cognitavely know grammar rules.

for people who are unaware of why the riots in minneapolis started happening, here’s the facts:

it wasn’t george floyd’s protesters who started reacting violently; it was the cops.

the protest was peaceful until the cops showed up in riot gear, and started using water cannons, followed up by tear gas and rubber bullets. i got videos from friends who were there, of people screaming and running away from the cops shooting the water cannons, rubber bullets and throwing tear gas at them. they were even shooting at the protesters dragging people away to get medical attention.

speaking of medical attention, dispatch refused to provide any medical attention to the protesters. people literally had to drive their bleeding friends to the hospital because they refused to send ambulances.

cops are using non-lethal weapons in a lethal way. they shot rubber bullets into people’s heads and injured them. there’s dozens of photos of protesters with bleeding head wounds from the rubber bullets.

multiple people used police scanners and heard that there were undercover cops pretending to be violent protesters who were throwing rocks and whatnot at the police, with dozens of eyewitness accounts confirming that information.

the person who instigated all the chaos last night (it was a fire at an autozone) with the looting and burning buildings is highly suspected to be an undercover cop pretending to be a protester, because the video of him keeps getting taken down. protesters tried to stop him but couldn’t because he had a hammer and they were scared for their safety.

the cops jammed cell phone towers and cut live streams to interrupt broadcasts and to prevent people from seeing what was really going on and who actually started the violence.

the cops lied about protesters being armed and about throwing rocks and are literally trying to continue the violence happening and yet no one is holding them accountable for that.

and during all this, the cop that murdered george floyd still hasn’t been arrested. he has had more than ten complaints filed against him and was involved in three other civilian shootings in the past. and yet he’s still out free along with his three other buddies involved, probably sitting on his couch while all this chaos is happening.

so don’t get it twisted. the cops just want to change the narrative to make it look like they’re the wounded and righteous party, when they’re the ones who started reacting violently in the first place and are still acting violently. so don’t you ever forget who started this tragedy and murdered someone, and who are continuing to react to the situation with violence. 

[ilikebadmusiconly]

All the media has been covering is the looting especially at target and how out of hand it was. While that was happening the cops outside the 3rd precinct (across the street from lake street target) were tear gassing, macing, and shooting rubber bullets and the non violent protesters. The protesters used the target shopping carts to build a barricade between them and the cops to protect themselves

weird how I became a much more compassionate and accepting person when I realised that drug addiction is the symptom of a problem and not the problem in itself

[radiqueer]

you also start to realise just how much the War On Drugs was actually a war against the poor, against survivors, against trans people, against sex workers, against the mentally ill and the disabled, against PoC, against queers, against the homeless. how much of it was a government manufactured ploy to sell violence against the marginalized as violence against addiction, as if addiction was not a symptom of systemic abuse.

[lines-and-edges]

It’s true and you should say it.

[liberteaandjusticeforall]

ok but at what point did Qui-Gon realize he’d said “The Queen doesn’t need to know” to the actual Queen.

at what point in the battle planning did Padme very deadpan say to him, “the council doesn’t need to know?” or something like that

at what point did Qui-Gon realize that under no circumstances should Obi-Wan and Padme be allowed to become friends because they will sass him to death

at what point did the young Queen realize she and Qui-Gon were saltmates

[thebisexualmandalorian]

In the novelization, he knew the whole time.  He knew he was looking Queen Amidala directly in the eye while telling her the queen doesn’t need to know.  Qui-Gon Jinn hasn’t given a single fuck in fifty years.
