So there’s a Brazilian rapper called Emicida and he made a song and a music video to help promote Good Omens here in Brazil. And it turned out really good! So I subtitled it for y’all (sorry if there are any mistakes, I pulled an all-nighter to do this and I haven’t slept in like 40 hours)

Here’s the original video if you want to support this Brazilian legend! 

Also, follow me on ig if you’d be so kind, it’s @annmarcelino

the most fucking annoying thing about mental illness is that knowing more about it literally does not make a difference. you can watch your own insanity creep up on you in real time, know exactly where it's coming from and what it's gonna do to you, know all the silly little psychiatry words for all your silly little "symptoms", and still have no control over its grip on you. like, i am NOT at the steering wheel in here at ALL bro.

This is your daily reminder to not be ashamed of making your life easy for yourself.

Cut your food into small pieces, make the font size 30 on your e book, use straws to drink, get a pen that’s comfortable to hold, take more naps, walk slowly, eat another cookie, buy velcro shoes, re-watch the part you couldn’t understand the first time, write things on your hands so you don’t forget it… whatever you want and/or need

Don’t let anyone tell you how you should be doing things. We don’t need to prove each other anything

Pacific Rim is great because of the absolutely fanfiction level of its plot points. Want to pilot the giant robot? You're going to need to share your most painful memories. Who will you share them with? YOUR CRUSH

since it's black history month I'll be accepting reparations in money so if ur white P*yp*l me @ amarcelinofotos @ gmail . com (without the spaces)

this of course is a joke but if you wanna help a sister out that would be much appreciated 🙌🏽

In many cultures, ethnic groups, and nations around the world, hair is considered a source of power and prestige. African people brought these traditions and beliefs to the Americas and passed them down through the generations.

In my mother’s family (Black Americans from rural South Carolina) the women don’t cut their hair off unless absolutely necessary (i.e damage or routine trimming). Long hair is considered a symbol of beauty and power; my mother often told me that our hair holds our strength and power. Though my mother’s family has been American born for several generations, it is fascinating to see the beliefs and traditions of our African ancestors passed down. We are emotionally and spiritually attached to our hair, cutting it only with the knowledge that we are starting completely clean and removing stagnant energy.

Couple this with the forced removal and covering of our hair from the times of slavery and onward, and you can see why so many Black women and men alike take such pride and care in their natural hair and love to adorn our heads with wigs, weaves, braids, twists, accessories, and sharp designs.

Hair is not just hair in African diaspora cultures, and this is why the appropriation and stigma surrounding our hair is so harmful.
