due to personal reasons i’ll be

i hate when i make body-hair positivity posts and people (almost always white) comment with stuff like “yes fuzz is so cute!” like no….i’m not here for my girls with just fuzz i’m here for girls who have thick dark coarse hair all over their bodies, girls who have eyebrows thicker than their dad’s, girls whose eyebrows blend in with their hairlines, girls with mustaches, girls with thick sideburns, girls who have hairy arms, legs, toes, fingers, and hands, girls with nipple hair, girls who can’t tell where their tummy hair ends and their happy trail begins, girls with back hair, girls with unibrows. hair doesn’t have to be peach fuzz on a white body for it to still be cute.

do men have resting bitch faces as well or do they not have negative characteristics ascribed to them for putting on a neutral rather than a deliriously happy facial expression

Yes, Black men in majority white spaces do. If I don’t smile every single second of the day my coworkers become in intimidated and start asking me what’s wrong, telling me to smile, make jokes about how I’m trying to be a thug/act hard, why am I angry, etc. And it’s not just white men at my job God FORBID I my large Black ass makes a white girl feel threaten because I’m sitting down with a neutral expression.

I’m not trying to take this post away from women and make it about Black men but I want to point out that wether it’s patriarchy or white supremacy; those who feel as if they have power over you HATE to see you not smile. They are so used to people like you smiling to gain their approval that when you don’t there’s a cognitive dissonance that makes them extremely uncomfortable.

That’s why “angry Black women” is a thing. They have to put on a smile for everyone (yes even feminist white women) or we all get uncomfortable.

This is such an amazing response.

If anyone remembers that post of me with dan and Phil in 2015 where I have short hair with the “tol meme” “smol bean” T-shirt, I am begging you to find and show me it, I need to feel something (self hatred that is)

The caption was “this person deserves a medal” if you need extra clues

So Trump's campaign wants to stand with fascists. At least they finally admit it.

So I looked the guy up and he’s written a public apology.

and the title had been properly adjusted!

Daniel was out on biased reporting that they probably didn’t know was biased because of their privilege, didn’t deny it, didn’t throw a hissey fit, publicly apologized, and almost immediately fixed their mistake

Daniel is a good person,

Be more like Daniel

This is a very graceful and genuine apology.

definitely very important to highlight the unlearning and explicit correction of racism. there will probably never be a day in our lifetimes that white people don’t at least benefit from racist culture (let’s be real, that fact that we’ve even benefitted at all will stay with us until we die, and then even our children will benefit from the quality of life that we had because of it), so learning to step back and adjust our outlook is vital

Timothee Chalamet looks like he's 13 years old and has tuberculosis. My brother has a French friend who looks just like him. He only ate sour dinosaur candy every day until his doctor told him he was going to die from malnutrition if he continued. He has had more girlfriends than any guy I have known though, so I guess some women are into that look.
