I'm so great at nerding

Seeing unhealthy patterns in your family and deciding that those pattens end with you and will not be passed down to future generations is an extremely brave and powerful decision.

Forgive yourself for repeating what was taught to you as a child, then put the conscious effort into deprogram these patterns.

I needed to see this :) time to spread it to others who may need it too!

It is increasingly obvious that most people have no idea how to indicate an illness is slowly killing someone without making them cough up blood. Doesn’t matter what it is or if it has anything to do with your respiratory system, if you’re dying, you’re coughing up blood.

Writers found out about tuberculosis and were like “damn this slaps” and we’ve been stuck with it ever since

2015 vs. 2020

I saw someone post this on facebook. And thought I'd do it too. When I took the picture in 2015 I was all dolled up for a date with my boyfriend. My boyfriend that would become a complete nightmare. I would become a monster myself to get away from him. But also in that process I learned what it was to be unconditionally loved. Not by him. But others and myself. The darkest days were coming. In two years I'd be tearing my own hair out and hating myself more than I ever have.

But the second picture. The lady in that second picture is on a whole different plane of existence. Shes been to therapy, she cried, screamed, pleaded, and fallen down more times than I can count. But she accepted the hands that wanted to help her up. She grew.

I learned to give myself some of the love I was giving out to everyone else.

If I could go back and talk to that girls from 2015 I'd give her the longest hug of her life, and tell her that the only way out is through. I wouldn't try and change it. I wouldn't tell her to run. For I wouldnt have worked through my existing issues without that push.

Kya, canonically a lesbian, tells Korra and Asami about same-sex relationships and coming out in the four nations. We also find out that Kyoshi was bi!

[holyromanhomo]

My aesthetic is seeing my bisexual icons, Korra and Asami, discussing LGBT issues while the sky is painted the colors of the Bi Pride Flag behind them.

this is….the stuff dreams are made of

[fangirl39]

I’m honestly not suprised Kyoshi was bi.

the mere fact that john boyegas career could be ruined because he's standing up and speaking out against racism while rich white celebrities careers are safe as they do the bare minimum, if anything, is fucking disgusting.

This is how slaves brought over the peanut plant!

Last year, I took a class called History of the African-American Spirit. One of the things I learned about is black people’s hairstyles (especially cornrows) during slavery. They were more than just hairstyles and creative ways to store food. They were also used to create maps. Black slaves would use these maps to escape plantations and their captors.

Okay I never knew this! 🙌🏾

[isaacsapphire]

I’d read about certain crops being potentially brought over from Africa to the Americans via seeds in captured slaves’ hair, but I hadn’t known how simple and subtle the hairstyle could be.

That’s pretty goddamn amazing

Theory: Miss Major has been all but entirely erased from our narrative of Stonewall so people could avoid thinking about the fact that she's still alive and has a retirement fund that needs donations

I cannot stress how important it is to be intersectional about your feminism. listen to black women, listen to trans women, listen to disabled women, and please acknowledge the fact that there are different types of women who go through different types of struggles than you

These are the solutions we need to policing right now. Remember: the problem cannot be solved by technocratic solutions (i.e. body cams, further trainings, etc.) The problem is policing itself.
