My GRANDMA

[averysweetpotatoe-deactivated20]

My FATHER went to a LEGALLY MANDATED segregated school until he was 8 and integration was then enforced. He was not legally allowed into a school or part of town with white people until he was almost ten

[zanillani]

Many people forget black people couldn’t even vote until 1965. That’s not that long ago.

[chordn]

for the vast majority schools within the south, substantive de-segregation was completed only in like circa 1975. thats like fucking 20 years after Brown v. Board of education.

My father is 52 and he chopped cotton in Louisiana as a child until he was 11

[revolutionarykoolaid]

Less than 65 years. King was murdered in 68, which was effectively the end of the movement and beginning of the Black Power era. My parents were both born in the 50s in the Jim Crow south, and remember it vividly. One of my mom’s friends was even killed at the 16th Street Baptist Church. People are delusional for acting like this was all so long ago.

[berberebae-deactivated20201003]

There were schools in the U.S that still had segregated proms in 2012. Shit is still happening it’s not all in some distant past.

“My mom painted this and said no one would like it. It’s her 2nd painting.”

“I painted somebody’s mom”

“Took a while and not perfect, but i painted the guy who painted the other guy’s mom”

“I painted the girl who painted the guy who painted the other guy’s mom who painted an egret”

[potter-on-my-wayward-doctor]

I reblogged this before, but without the original picture… I didn’t know she thought no one would like it! It’s such a good fluffy egret! She good and has talent and this thread is pure and full of talent

[sounddesignerjeans-deactivated2]

Honestly I think one of the most empowering things you can do for yourself is to separate your negative qualities from your identity.

Instead of saying “I’m lazy,” saying “I’ve made a habit of not doing work unless it’s absolutely necessary.” Instead of saying “I’m a bad friend,” saying “I haven’t communicated as much as I should with the people I care about.”

By being specific about your problems, and by framing it as an action that you are consciously either working on or ignoring rather than an unchangeable part of who you are, you allow yourself to accept your mistakes and work constructively on them instead of pretending they didn’t happen or wallowing in blaming yourself.

Visionary Brain Genius Elon Musk Has Invented The World's Worst And Most Expensive Subway

If you are anything like me, many times you have been riding the subway and have had the thought, “What is wrong with this dang subway is that it is not exponentially more expensive and slower than this.” Many times you have seethed, through clenched teeth, “Goddammit, it just churns my guts that this subway does not require me to own and bring along—and also to have outfitted with a special set of retractable sideways wheels that serve no other purpose—my own Tesla-brand autonomous electric car.” If you are anything like me, when you get off the accursed normal subway and do not have to then hunt for a place to park your Tesla-brand autonomous electric car, it fucking burns you up inside. It makes you sick! You have had it up to here with these goddamn cheap, fast, mass-transit options that do not require each rider to have brought along an entire specially outfitted self-driving electric car.

Holy shit

“I can’t speak for everyone, but this sounds like it is extremely my fuckin’ speed! In the literal sense that it travels closer to my walking speed than to the speed of an efficient high-speed rail system, and transports only slightly more people than I can carry on my back.”

Do you ever think of how weird it would be if Mickey Mouse’s name was actually Michael? And how weird it would be if one day Minnie called him “Michael Mouse” because she was upset with him? Because I think about it sometimes.

[thegoombs]

I have just been informed that Mickey’s full name is “Michael Theodore Mouse”, and that Minnie’s is “Minerva Mouse”. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THIS INFORMATION, BUT I FEEL LIKE I KNOW SOMETHING FORBIDDEN NOW???

[rikudera]

I feel like this is a good time to share the fact that Donald Duck’s middle name is Fauntleroy.

[rabbiteclair]

I want to start a conspiracy theory that farming and agriculture in general is fake. “There are 325,000,000 people in America. It would take like a billion chickens a year just to keep the stores stocked. And have you seen these millions of chickens anywhere? I didn’t think so. Checkmate, “farmers”.“

I feel like I could convince a lot of people who don’t live in the Midwest

[rabbiteclair]

chickens come from beneath the flat earth. the government doesn’t want you to know that the earth is flat and surfs through space on a layer of chickens, because if everybody knew they could mine their own chickens and not pay taxes

[averruncusho]

Oh my GOD GUYS I THINK I’VE FOUND SOMETHING

[kazoracht]

Did you find chickens?

[nellyben]

I like how everybody is paired off haha

[larssonadam]

#this looks more like an awkward sixth grade slow dance than it does hockey

[itsacpsideblog]

I FINALLY FOUND OUT WHY THIS HAPPENS. You see this all the time when there’s a fight or a scrum and suddenly everyone pairs up with a member of the opposite team and they just sort of …hold each other.

Someone on reddit asked about it. And it turns out there’s a logical-ish reason:

all of the other players pair off with their man to prevent anyone else entering into the fight … so it’s a form of self policing. 

[…] The players basically want to prevent 2 on 1, etc. fights and by finding a “hugging” partner so there’s no ganging up on one guy, even on accident. They do it because it’s fair. And it’s kind of cute sometimes.

so now we know! it’s fair…and cute.

NHL: You need to prevent other player’s from joining in the fight, make sure to hold them back

Hockey players, hugging: Got it.

Someone twisted this Jewish family’s menorah into the shape of a swastika

Naomi Ellis and her her husband Seth spent Friday morning — the morning after the sixth night of Hanukkah — trying to explain to their three young sons why someone had vandalized the menorah the family had put out on their yard by twisting the metal pieces into the shape of a swastika.

The Ellis family had only built the 7-foot-tall menorah on the front lawn of their home in Chandler, Arizona, because their sons, ages 5, 7 and 9, had asked their parents if the family could decorate their home like the neighbors did for Christmas, the Washington Post reported. Read more.

This is America in the 21st century.  Please reblog, even if you’re not Jewish.  Especially if you’re not Jewish.  Spread awareness and let your Jewish followers know that we’re not alone.

Quick Depression Pro Tip™: not terribly hygienic but still. keep a thing of dental floss on your bedside table 

(and a dry toothbrush if you’re feeling ambitious. and toothpaste if you want to challenge the gods)

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

Quick Depression Pro Tip 2™: put on socks. your home probably isn’t super duper clean. socks will at least help you feel clean.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

A Continuation: this also goes for changing into fresh pajamas! especially useful when your sheets aren’t clean/there are crumbs in the bed.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

Quick Depression Pro Tip 3™: wipe your face w/ a wet washcloth. or towel. wipes. whatever. just something to make your skin feel a little cleaner.

if you don’t brush your teeth often, scrape your tongue on the cloth when you’re done, to get rid of buildup. 

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

Quick Depression Pro Tip 4™: Granola bars. Granola bars. Everywhere.

Granola bars spilling from your backpack. Granola bars bursting from your drawers. Granola bars dripping from your faucets. Granola bars haunting your nightmares. There is nothing but granola.

It’s so odd when a stranger understands exactly what you do and what you’re feeling. It makes me feel less disgusting and alone. Thank you.
