My sister made her friend a Beginner’s Guide to F1 because they’re watching the race together tomorrow.

Autumnal Still Life with Boletus (detail), Hans Zatzka (Austrian, 1859–1945)

Skin.

Writing with Color has received several asks on this topic.

Everything from “how do I describe my character’s skin tone without being offensive?” and “what’s the problem with comparing my character to chocolate and coffee?”

I’m hoping to address all these and likewise questions in this guide on describing POCs’ skin color, from light, dark and all that’s in between.

The Food Thing: So what’s the big deal?

So exactly what is the problem with comparing a POC’s skin tone to cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar and other sweets and goods? Well, there’s several potential problems you come across when you pull out the old Hershey’s bar comparison for your dark-skinned character, even if offense is not your intention.

We are sharing some of our favourite gifs each day this month for Antifa International’s fifth anniversary. Today: Nazi monuments being destroyed after the defeat of Nazi Germany.

If this offends you 😊 unfollow me 😊

And a note to confederates: these monuments weren’t kept because this was “history”. These monuments celebrated horrible things and we BLEW THEM UP.

this might be a hard pill to swallow for college students but getting drunk all the time isnt a personality trait it’s alcoholism

Here’s another pill: companies and ad teams know that your 20s are extremely stressful and they purposely target you because they don’t care about making us all alcoholics as much as they care about profiting off of us.

cooler pill that I’d wish I’d known about when I was younger: if you’re struggling with alcohol, AA isn’t your only option. AA can be a bit dogmatic and sometimes hostile to certain communities, especially the LGBT.

there’s a group called SMART Recovery that has free meetings just like AA, but it’s all science-based and secular.

and here’s the thing for college students: unlike with AA, it’s okay if your goal is moderation and not abstinence. no one is going to make you feel like a bad guy for being young and just wanting help getting healthier, but perhaps not wanting to commit to being totally abstinent. google SMART Recovery, guys. they’re awesome. :)

Reblog for non-religious version of AA

Just be careful to avoid these groups. The Church of Scientology loves to use substance abuse support groups as a front.

Reblog and you might save someone’s life, especially with all our Black Girls going missing #ProtectBlackGirls #SaveLife

For those who don’t know what’s happening in the video, she untied her shoelaces, pulled one through the inside of the zip tie binding her hands, then tied the shoelaces together. Then, by pulling downward and back and forth on the shoelaces with her feet, she created enough friction to wear away part of the ziptie, making it weak enough to snap right off her hands.

Protect all the ladies and the dudes

Damn

For those who don’t have shoelaces and for those who do but don’t want to trip over their own feet in case something goes wrong, here’s another way:

It’s all about quick, determined movement of your arms. To see it in action, watch the video at https://youtu.be/0Gr6HX_IKpw?t=9m – the zip ties part starts around the 8:00 min mark. The video also shows how to escape handcuffs and duct tape. And if you’re wondering what to do when you’ve got your hands behind your back, go to approx. the 0:20 min mark of the following video: “Moving cuffs from behind back to front position” (taken from thrillwriting.blogspot.de/2013/05/credit-wikipedia-disclaimer-this-is-non.html, where you’ll also find additional information on how to escape handcuffs). 

For teach this to your kids….boys too. We don’t need to lose noone

Da 5 Bloods - Now on Netflix!!

Hey guys I just wanted to make a quick PSA, for those who don’t follow Spike Lee on social media or don’t keep up with him, his new film Da 5 Bloods is finally available to stream on Netflix! 

Spike Lee’s ‘Da 5 Bloods’ Is A Platoon Picture, Heist Thriller And History Lesson - NPR

Chief film critic David Rooney praised the film’s “uncanny” timeliness. “The director wastes not a second before taking a cold plunge into his real subject — the broken promises made to black Americans,” wrote Rooney. The critic added that Lee is “unafraid to risk charges of didacticism as his characters reveal wounds inflicted in the past that still bleed in the present.“  – The Hollywood Reporter

Spike is one of my all time favorite directors, and since BlackKklansman and his multiple Oscar nominations (and his win!) I’ve been so looking forward to his new projects. 

Please if you’ve got some time to spare today or this weekend, give this film a watch. I’m going to watch it tonight myself, and then maybe we can all use Netflix Party to have a movie night this weekend and watch together! 

please share the updated version, created by protesters and acknowledged by Black Lives Matter DC!

there is no reason good enough to arrest a 6 year old, this is purely racist

WHAT THE FUCK

WHAT KIND OF THREAT DO YOU EVEN MANIFEST THAT SIX YEAR OLD CHILD HAS TO YOU TO EXCUSE THIS???

THIS IS FUCKING DISGUSTING AND PEOPLE ARE FUCKING MONSTERS FOR DOING THIS/IGNORING THIS/EXCUSING THIS
