Don’t argue, Friends copied Living Single anyway

[antideprssant]

friends actually aired before Living Single so..

[itschinyere-deactivated20200201]

Friends actually aired a year after Living Single. A year after their creator did an interview where he said if he could have any new sitcom it would be Living Single so..

Hey Tumblr fam, I need some help

I created this anti-hangover popsicle, have tested the crap out of it, and yes it works amazing. My friends love it, but I’m struggling with sales. Just being honest here. 

Anyway, if you get a chance please check out our website Lushzie.com I would love your feedback.

So for all my tumblr fam we are offering the popsicle that will literally end your hangovers for just $1 (to cover shipping) use code “TUMBLRFAM” at checkout. 

The popsicle contains coconut water, electrolytes, and nutrients to protect your liver and help your body metabolize alcohol faster preventing a hangover.

Six Of Michael Brown’s Classmates Share Their Stories

All of them are forever scarred by how Michael Brown died at the hand of police and believe that it could have been their body left on the pavement for hours.

[thehighpriestofreverseracism]

So I’ve been overwhelmed by the black panther comicon appearance and I’ve been dwelling on how revolutionary the black panther movie is going to be, what it’s going to mean to countless people when this movie comes out and how long we still have to go, So I decided to put this short photoset together to illustrate exactly how big of a deal it is and how it is bigger than one person.

it’s so bittersweet because when I was younger (especially growing up where I did, a black kid in Finland) I really wished I had more access to imagery and media that reflected who I was because it would have made my life radically different for the better and I wouldn’t be at 26 (STILL) doing damage control but on the flipside, I’m so in awe of all of the beautiful talent in 2016 that younger black kids are able to see and be inspired by.

I think I was like 4 years old when I conciously picked up race and color via watching Disney’s “Aladdin” and I noticed how Jafar, the evil royal guards etc the villains were more ethnic looking or a shade darker than the “good” characters.

it’s insidious because you’re seeing something but at age 4, you don’t have the comprehension skill or knowledge to break it down and see it for what it is (Colorism, Societal bias against black people which is rooted in centuries of white supremacist doctrine, society associates things that are dark/darker colors with evil, danger, ugliness, dirt etc) and reject it.

so you pick it up and see it on a surface level and you think to yourself “well darker must mean ugly, criminal and less human”…then what happens when you look at yourself in the mirror and find out that you are black?

  how is that going to impact how you see yourself?

and guess what? if a 4 year old black kid can pick that up and internalize that about him/her/themselves….then a white kid can sponge up the same language and imagery that dehumanizes black people too (subconciously/conciously)…what happens when when these people grow up? become teachers, doctors, law enforcement etc? what kind of impact is that going to have?

I’m going off on a tangent and that’s just one personal example but society does that on a global grand scale and it is largely unchecked.

but honestly though,look at the photoset and think about how many talented people out there that we love and respect….who would NOT have achieved the things they did if it wasn’t for another person before them inspiring them to reach their goals and acting as trail blazers when it seemed as though it was impossible….then think about the flipside and how many people, with all the potential in the world, never lived to become great because they were met with more images dehumanizing them than ones uplifting them…this is why the fight for HONEST representation is important and it continues.

argh, I didn’t plan on typing anything but I got in my feelings after watching this again

…anyway, here are some pictures to make you smile, the next gen gives me hope

and if none of that gets you going, here is a video of Michael Jackson surprising James Brown on stage and then thanking him for being his biggest influence (BET awards, 2003)

#BlackGirlsDoingShit is because we do shit that’s relevant, important, and ground breaking. Our hands, voices, spirits, and talents propel us to a place that all we have to do is assume the position. #BlackGirlsDoingShit is for black girls who rejected society’s notion that they couldn’t have it all, we don’t need anyone’s validation, because we doing this shit.

Child Hood Memories you have to reblog if when you saw this you heard the man say it in your head

[scandalousmonet]

If you're under the age of 20 you shouldn't even read this; and if you do, you should not reblog =/.

If you're under the age of 20 you shouldn't even read this; and if you do, you should not repost.

Just because you were born in 1996 doesn't mean you're a 90's kid. ... It's not like you could remember the original Simpsons - I am sorry but four years of the 90s just wont cut it.

You're a 90s kid if, you remember watching...

-Kenan and Kel

-Doug

-Pinky and the Brain

-AAAAAAAH Real Monsters!

-Rocko's Modern Life

-Animaniacs

-Courage the Cowardly Dog

-Hey Arnold

-Clarissa Explains it All

-The Simpsons

-The Fresh Prince of Bel air

-Nickelodeon Slime Time

-Family Feud

You've ever ended a sentence with the word PSYCHE!

You just cant resist finishing this: "In west Philadelphia born and raised...

You remember:

-Step by Step

-Family Matters

-Dinosaurs

-Boy Meets World

You remember when it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons.

When everything was settled by:

-rock paper scissors or

-bubble gum bubble gum in a dish

When kickball was something you did everyday!! and you played on the monkey bars and knew at least one kid who broke their arm falling off of it...

You used to listen to the radio all day long just to record your FAVORITE song of ALL time on a tape.

You remember when Super Nintendo became popular.

You always wanted to send in a tape to Americas Funniest Home Videos . . . but never taped anything funny.

You remember watching:

-The Magic School Bus

-Wishbone

-Reading Rainbow

-Ghostwriter on PBS

You remember when Yo-Yos were cool.

And you played with Gak, Silly Putty and Sticky Tack that you stole from the teachers walls.

You remember eating Warheads and Smarties

You remember watching:

-The 1st Batman

-Aladdin

-Ninja Turtles

-Ghost Busters

-X-Men

You remember Ring Pops!!!

If you remember when every thing was "da BOMB!"

You remember boom boxes vs. CD players

You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet, or Nano and brought it everywhere u went

You watched the original cartoons of

-Rugrats

-Wild Thornberrys

-Power Rangers (with the Green ranger)

-Rocket Power

-Transformers

All your school supplies were Lisa Frank or Five Star brand

If you collected:

-Beanie Babies

-Pokemon cards (the oringinal 150)

-Coins with the states on them

-Carebears

-Silver dollars, which were cool to have

Everyone watched the WB

If you even know what an original Walkman is..

You know the Macarena by heart

"Talk to the hand". . .enough said.

You went to McDonald's to play in the play place

Before the MySpace/Facebook/Twitter frenzy...

Before the Internet & text messaging...

Before Sidekicks & iPods ...

Before PlayStation3 or X-BOX 360...

Before Spongebob...

When light up sneakers were cool and you had spiral spring shoelaces

When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs

When gas was $1.

When we recorded stuff on VCR

You had slap bracelets!

You actually played outside until it was dark!

Way back-before we realized all this would eventually disappear...

ONLY REPOST IF YOU SMILED AT AT LEAST HALF OF THESE THINGS BECAUSE THEY BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES
