Oh, don't mind me.

Hello, Tumblr. I'm just your average awkward person full of awkwardness. I am a third year college student and I am the proud owner of a pet platypus.

Say her name. Never forget the struggle of being black in America. Honor the victims of police brutality. Fight against The Police State.

Guys please reblog this. The death of black women must be mourned too.

Not even just Black women, she was a Black girl. This just..I’m tired.

concept: a late night rainstorm, you laying in bed listening to the sound of the rain snuggled up in the arms of the one you love most

Traditional Celtic marriage vows, better than anything I've ever heard:

You cannot possess me for I belong to myself But while we both wish it, I give you that which is mine to give You cannot command me, for I am a free person But I shall serve you in those ways you require and the honeycomb will taste sweeter coming from my hand.

[shrineart]

But there’s more of it? I pledge to you that yours will be the name I cry aloud in the night. And the eyes into which I smile in the morning. I pledge to you the first bite from my meat, And the first drink from my cup. I pledge to you my living and dying, equally in your care, And tell no strangers our grievances. This is my wedding vow to you. This is a marriage of equals.

This legitimately makes me want to cry. Perfect.

I found the last line.

“And beyond this, I will cherish and honor you through this life, and into the next.”

April is the best, but she’s 20. When April was born I was already in third grade, which means if we were friends back then I would have been hanging out with a baby. I don’t know anything about infant care. Oh my god, I could have killed her!

mhm if you could have job skillz… that would be great

My country is destroyed

Dear followers, I’m from Ecuador, and we just have had on Saturday a major earthquake that measured 7,9. The coast is the most affected region of my country, we are not completely ready for situations like this, is hard to see how many people have died and so many are trapped and there are almost 2000 people injured. It’s difficult to find a way to keep working normally in the cities that haven’t been that affected, so that’s why and if you really can, try to go to Ecuador’s embassy in your country and ask how can you help, we need water, food and medicine as priority.

Thank you so much.

I’ll return writing probably in a week, I’m trying to help with what I can.

As a Latinx who is proud of my culture, my language, of being the daughter of refugees I am disgusted that Ted Cruz would have the audacity to claim himself as part of the Latinx/Hispanic community.

Get out of our barrios. Stop speaking our language when it’s convenient for you. Don’t pander to our community when you have rejected your cultural identity and when you have rejected immigrants as a whole.

We are not “tu gente.”

[micdotcom]

Watch: Ted Cruz pandered to these Bronx Latinos and they weren’t having it.
