the life of nikita

Hi, I'm Nikita! I'm at a point in my life where I'm incredibly happy. I'm married to my best friend and my life is definitely headed in the right direction (:

Trying to pair up your husbands socks after doing laundry 😒

Shoutout to my 90 year old grandma with dementia (she thinks she’s back when she was 20) and she misunderstood us when we said her nursing home cook didn’t make food for OTHER people and she thought we said “colored people” and she got so mad she was ready to steal food so she could feed everyone. Keep in mind she thinks she’s in like 1940s and she is READY to defend poc. Shout out to you grandma.

[drawnsheep]

I also appreciate that she’s sure she can steal food from the cook

[dramaticdragon]

90 year old thief. She doesn’t play when it comes to equality

[frontpagewoman]

Octavia is all of us😩

[fluffgawd]

We just ignoring the pic in the back?

[itsmajortaylor]

👆🏾👆🏾👆🏾👆🏾

[itslaroneppl]

That was the first thing I noticed

[goldnpoc]

All I notice was Octavia’s face

[aixela89]

People: “How do you handle your SO being gone during deployments?”

Me:

[theoutsideisbeautiful]

Any milsos in the Norfolk area? Desperate need of some friends 😭 or just anyone who doesn’t mind a three year old tagging along lmao

[thelifeofnikita]

I'm up in Newport news! Just on the other side of the water! And I love kids so if we'd hang out I'm sure we'd get along fine!

marry someone who talks you through the bad thoughts. marry someone who saves you from 1000 miles away.

[cremia-deactivated20210626]

that was pretty irresponsible of willy wonka to put a huge giant fan at the top of the room with the drink that made you uncontrollably fly directly up like put it in a different room dude that’s some real liability shit

[cremia-deactivated20210626]

like he said it wasn’t ready for the public which implies they’ve been testing it out privately which just says to me willy wonka has killed hundreds of oompa loompas by launching them into a fan at the top of the room

[sinbadism]

this is unsurprising and completely consistent with the character of willy wonka

[kacie-ville]

once for the girls? give the people what they want.

This is not a drill: Netflix is making a movie about Barack Obama as a young person figuring out his place in the world

Newcomer Devon Terrell plays Barry as he moves to New York City and enrolls in Columbia University. His navigation of biracial identity seems to be particularly front and center, and the film is already drawing its share of positive reviews.

holy fuck

[bonjourmoncherie]

I really can’t wait for this.

[teandcrackers-deactivated202112]

When I grow up I want to be Ming-Na Wen.

[housetohalf]

She’s the voice of Mulan, as if she wasn’t amazing enough.

[palindrome-mystery]

She broke it with her fingers. Not a fist, her fingers.

[spiffypop]

Girl is 50 years old.

FIFTY. YEARS. OLD.

[firebreathingeli]

fun fact: When you break things with your hands like that you have t break your fingers on purpose before so that they heal stronger. So basically this woman is so badass she broke her hands just to do this. 

[fuckingconversations]

You asshat, you’re making it sound like she snaps her fingers in half. 

Martial artists like Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee (and yes, fucking Ming-Na Wen, that beautiful badass) will build up their bone strength by repeatedly (and fairly gently) striking sand, gravel, wood and steel - this creates tons of microfractures in their bones (smaller than even a hairline fracture) so the bones will heal over again and make the bones stronger and denser with increased deposits of calcium. 

This has to be done over long-ass periods of time, so the bones have time to heal, and none of the fractures expand into actual breaks. 

Oh, and she’s doing precise-ass kicks in HIGH HEELS. 

[snickersandjackdaniels-deactiva]

she kicks ass like a coursing river

[tacorub]

Saw this post so many months ago and I still think about it from time to time lol so badass

[thatsthat24]

Had the absolute pleasure of meeting her. She’s indeed a kind-hearted and gorgeous badass.

I love Joe Biden so much

[williamhandler]

Republicans are literally the dumbest people I’ve ever met.

[obamawhitehouse]

Today we celebrate 241 years of the U.S. Marine Corps defending our country and the American people. Semper fi!
