stay away from black people that don’t like black people.

The experiences of conventionally attractive people and conventionally unattractive people can be so jarringly different and it really deserves some conversation. But I hate how the only mention of this comes from incels or anti-feminists or other right aligned losers with not an ounce of nuance in their bones lmaooo

Like, your physical attractiveness can shape not just your interpersonal experiences but also real tangible things such as but no limited to whether or not you get a job or being believed as a victim or what kind of roles you can get as an actor or perhaps the length of a sentence or how much help is offered to you in a time of need etc. etc.

it’s so attractive when someone is all about you and isn’t afraid to show it.

‪Your soul is always communicating with you. It tells you where it wants to go by making you aware of your interests, your desires, and what feels good to you. Follow your passions. When something stops bringing you joy, stop doing it. Shift and flow like the water.‬

Jenny Han’s Opinion piece on New York Times:

[npr]

Aretha Franklin, the “Queen of Soul,” died Thursday in her home city of Detroit after battling pancreatic cancer. Her death was confirmed by her publicist, Gwendolyn Quinn. She was 76.

Franklin sold more than 75 million records during her life, making her one of the best-selling artists of all time. She took soul to a new level and inspired generations of singers who came after her.

No one’s life can be condensed to one word — but Aretha Franklin came close when she sang one word: “respect.”

“Respect” was written by the great Otis Redding. In his version, a man is pleading, offering his woman anything she wants in exchange for her respect. He sang: “Hey little girl, you’re sweeter than honey / And I’m about to give you all of my money / But all I want you to do / Is just give it, give it / Respect when I come home …”

Aretha changed those lyrics to demand parity. “Oooh, your kisses,” she sang, “Sweeter than honey / And guess what? / So is my money …” In her hands, “Respect” became an empowering song — for black women and for all women. It was a No. 1 hit in 1967, and it became her signature song.

Franklin was 25 years old when “Respect” was released. But she had been singing since she was a small child in her father’s New Bethel Baptist Church.

Types of Racists Cont.

Sexual Racists:

“What’s up chocolate momma? Ebony goddess?” “Oh you’re asian? How kinky! How exotic” “Mmmm Mandingooo”

Colorist Racists:

“I’m not racist, I just think light skin is prettier.” “I wan’t cute mixed babies :3″ “Just my opinion, don’t get mad”

Preference racists:

“Not to be racist but, I wouldn’t date a black girl” “I only like pretty white/mixed girls, black girls don’t look good next to me”

Comedian Racists:

“Calm down it’s just a joke!” “It’s not racist if it’s funny!” “Where’s your dad Daquan?”

Exclusionary Racists:

“Your shampoo doesn’t work on normal hair” “What kind of name is that?”

Victimized Racists:

“AA isn’t fair” “Nobody likes white people anymore” “WHAT KIND OF WHITE HATE BLOG ARE YOU RUNNING WITH THAT URL??” 

Know it all Racists:

“My best friends are black so..” “You don’t look mixed, you’re black” “You don’t know what white people think” “Not ALL white people” “You’re wrong, reverse racism…” *tries to define racism*

God damn it this is spot on

[theoriginalblackbarbie]

So we’re going to forget the liberal racists?

“That’s segregation too! Martin Luther King is rolling over in his grave.” “How can you guys be so ungrateful? Atleast I’m speaking up for y’all.” “I voted for Obama.”“I believe that all lives matter. Red, blue, purple pink green….”

fun fact: procrastination happens to animals too. it’s a naturall thing. animal equivalents for scrolling tumblr include:  - hamsters starting to wash their faces in inaproppriate situations  - hyenas stopping everything and starting to dig holes in the ground.  - seagulls starting to ruffle their feathers instead of doing important things this happens for two reasons:  1) an animal is in the situation where none of the standard scenarious it has are fitting, so it does the next best thing  (example: hamsters were put in a vibrating bowl, they couldn’t run or attack, so in about a minute they stopped everything and started washing their faces.) 2) an animal has two conflicting instincts fighting for dominance, so the third one, usualy suppressed by them, kicks in. (example: when two hyenas meet at the border of their territories, they have an instinct to protect their own territory conflict with an instinct not to cross someone else’s. they don’t know if they need to attack or leave, so both start digging holes in the ground. example: a seagull sitting on the nest needs to protect her children, but also has to go get some food. instead a seagull settles for ruffling her feathers for two hours.) with humans it’s usually the second reason. (example: I’m tired and I want to go to sleep, but I should write an essay for tomorrow. both these things are important, so I’m procrastinating them by writing this post.) nature is beautiful. I’m gonna go to sleep now.

Honestly, digging holes in the ground to avoid dealing with a confrontation sounds like something I would do.
