Anyone who HAS dined in a restaurant in the past year: what the fuck?!

she let the baby stay in there the whole night and decided to check in the morning lmao

This white boy came over a month ago and asked why my pillow was shiny. I told him it was satin, because I need a satin case to maintain my natural hairstyle overnight.

This past weekend I stayed over at his house after a party because it was too late to go back to Manhattan, and when I got in bed I noticed that one of his pillowcases was satin.

I asked him why a white, nearly bald man needed a satin pillowcase and he said he bought it for me, in case I needed to sleep over sometime. He didn’t want me to ruin my hair on cotton.

I kissed the ever-loving shit out of him.

That’s how you show a brown girl you care.

Update: he’s my boyfriend. our 1 year anniversary is coming up next month.

New Update: We had our two year anniversary on August 9th.

We also have moved in together.

As we went through his stuff for the move, we found the last of those pillowcases he bought for me in 2015.

I sleep on it every night.

THREE YEARS AS OF LAST THURSDAY

PSA this is very important please spread this around!

I couldn’t help it

this explains so much about my sense of humor

AMERICAN REFLEXXX

holy shit

American Reflexxx is a short film documenting a social experiment that took place in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Alli Coates filmed performance artist Signe Pierce as she strutted down a busy oceanside street in stripper garb and a reflective mask. The pair agreed not to communicate until the experiment was completed, but never anticipated the horror that would unfold in under an hour

The result is a heart wrenching technicolor spectacle that raises questions about gender stereotypes, mob mentality, and violence in America.

You see how quickly it escalates– and how quick people are to harass when they feel there is no reprecussion. But as soon as they are confronted, they ran away.

Notice that it’s a cis woman who shoves her down and that there are cis women hurling slurs at her right along the men. You can’t just chalk this up to male violence and act like it’s not your business. Cis women who consider themselves allies need to take a stand against violent transmisogynist cis women just like men need to take a stand against violent rapist men and white people need to take a stand against white violence.

This was really good

A reminder why we still need Pride…and why Pride that is not Trans inclusive is utterly useless.

“Rest and Revolution” by @sarahstieber⁣

Guys, this is season ONE of the Simpsons.

I keep seeing actresses or models who are trying to get the role of Katara and are trying to catch the attention of casting directors for Netflix despite the fact that they're not Native or dark skinned, let alone Inuit/Inupiat/Yupik Native

On one Tiktok where somebody actually points out how this actress shouldnt audition for Katara because she's not Inuit and the Water tribe definitely is, some weirdo is like "how do you know they're inuit -_-" like UHHHH??

Probably all the imagery that's nearly exactly copied from Northern Indigenous (namely Inuit) culture(s)??? And that's not even getting into the written dialogue & world building that mimics Northern Indigenous culture like Sokka mentioning eating seal blubber, the near genocide of the Southern water tribe, the landscape etc etc literally the ONLY thing that's asian about Sokka and Katara are their names and KIND OF the clothes they wear

why are people forgetting the part where Bryan and Michael explicitly say in one of the DVD commentaries that they're based off Inuit culture this isn't up for debate next question
