"I feel like I've been looking thru a box of old photos..because it all seems so familiar. But a part of me refuses to be that teddy bear you still play with under your covers... Cause you just sit me on ya shelf like a childhood memento... That you occasionally hold and whisper 'I love you' in moments when you don't even love yourself... & then you apologize...so much that your I'm sorries give you sores... And your hold becomes a grip...that permanently leaves grooves on my hips Tap...tap...taptap they're starting to fade... Taptap...tap...tap You won't remember where to hold me" #poetry

This year has been filled with ups and downs. But I wouldn't trade it for the world. From losing jobs to gaining new ones. To finding love, even tho they are 1400 miles away. To body changes that have require some self love and acceptance. I've been blessed with amazing people around me who love and support me, thru my sunniest days and my darkest nights. I commend those who have a plan for their lives and have stuck to it but I'm still a wanderer, and I'm not ashamed to say that I'll figure it out one day at a time. 27 it's been real! Thanks for showing me that I am resilient. Happy Birthday to me...#thebig28 #itsmybirthday #imold #servingface

why do black people use you in the wrong context? such is "you ugly" instead of "you're ugly" I know u guys can differentiate, it's a nuisance

you a bitch

[rsbenedict-deactivated20181216]

It’s called copula deletion, or zero copula. Many languages and dialects, including Ancient Greek and Russian, delete the copula (the verb to be) when the context is obvious.

So an utterance like “you a bitch” in AAVE is not an example of a misused you, but an example of a sentence that deletes the copular verb (are), which is a perfectly valid thing to do in that dialect, just as deleting an /r/ after a vowel is a perfectly valid thing to do in an upper-class British dialect.

[pigeonstalking]

What’s more, it’s been shown that copula deletion occurs in AAVE exactly in those contexts where copula contraction occurs in so-called “Standard American English.” That is, the basic sentence “You are great” can become “You’re great” in SAE and “You great” in AAVE, but “I know who you are” cannot become “I know who you’re” in SAE, and according to reports, neither can you get “I know who you” in AAVE.

In other words, AAVE is a set of grammatical rules just as complex and systematic as SAE, and the widespread belief that it is not is nothing more than yet another manifestation of deeply internalized racism.

This is the most intellectual drag I’ve ever read.

Is it just me or are snapchat filters not fit for fuller/thicker lips? I can never get the lipstick filters to fit on the entirety of my lips.
