Boys lie so damn much. They can say “good morning” to me & I have to check to see if the sun is out.

A good friend knows when to hold you back.

A best friend knows when to let go and let you rip into a bitch.

Amen.   

A BEST FRIEND FOREVER WILL TAKE PICTURES OF YOU RIPPING INTO A BITCH.

Thomas Neil Rodriguez may be the best dog owner ever. When vets told him his dog Poh had just days to live, Rodriguez and his fiancée decided to take the dog on an epic cross-country tour. It ended up being wonderful medicine.

LOOK HOW HAPPY THEY ARE OH GOSH

i prefer guys who make small dick jokes about themselves over guys who make big dick jokes about themselves

I got a medium dick

It can talk to ghosts

Thank you, history side.

In a newly releases segment of their Variety chat, Kerry Washington and Aziz Ansari talk about being asked to play stereotypical minority characters. Washington revealed she was fired from two shows for not being “urban” enough. Kerry, that’s probably for the best.

My “I heard my name mentioned” face, probably… 😂

“My mum was pushing me to do some modeling – everyone said I was a very pretty girl. And then one day it just got too much. I shaved my head and just went ‘Fuck you’ to everyone who thought I need to look a certain way. And I got bullied after that. I found myself in really dangerous situations, where, if a guy said something to me like, ‘What are you? You’re a girl but you’re trying to be a boy,’ or ‘Look at you, you’re disgusting’ … if I talked back, a few times I got hit by guys. They’d say, ‘I would never hit a girl, but you’re not a girl.’”

unnecessary hetereosexual romances in every tv show 

They all dated pretty boys that treated them like shit and cheated on them cause they knew they looked good and could get anyone they wanted, guys that don’t look as good tend to have more to bring to the table cause they had to rely on more than their looks and don’t have girls trying to fuck them left and right

History wants so badly for Cleopatra to be beautiful. Like they can’t conceive of Rome being intimidated by anything less

because being a linguist, fleet commander, and powerful ruler doesn’t matter, only her looks

Her Arab contemporaries raved about her being very interested and knowledgeable in the sciences.

She completely reformed the system in Alexandria, and Egypt at large; making it much more of a functional powerhouse. 

She did what 300 years of her ancestors couldn’t: Managed to get the support of both the Greek AND Egyptian subjects she ruled.

There is a sculpture that has been identified as her, through comparisons to coins minted under her rule, that proves beyond a doubt that she wasn’t particularly beautiful.

It isn’t that people just happen to believe it by mistake. Rome was fucking terrified of her and painted her as a vapid, scheming, beautiful, sex obsessed queen to discredit her to their people. She was a threat, and that was how they handled it. The unfortunate thing is that that is the most surviving record of her. A smear campaign against one of the smartest, most powerful women in human history. 

This is a woman who became her father’s co-ruler at nearly 14 years old in order to train for her actual ascension to the throne, who was forced to marry her own siblings in order to keep her power, and it’s widely believed that she poisoned them so she could rule alone. She’s a Pharaoh who led Egypt into a new era of wealth, who went fearlessly into war to protect her rule and Egypt’s independence from the Roman empire, a woman who took her own life rather than face being raped and tortured by her conquerors, knowing full well that she was leaving her surviving children in their uncertain mercy. Cleopatra is one of the most interesting, morally ambiguous, complexing historical figures we have and the media has turned her into a tantalizing sex object for the male gaze.

Even after Cleopatra died her influence on those around her lived on: her daughter, Cleopatra Selene, was the only child of Cleopatra’s to live to adulthood, and she became queen of Mauretania along with her husband Juba and it’s believed they married for love, which was extremely rare for that time period, especially among nobles/the upper class. Not only did she grow up in the house of her mother’s worst enemy and technical murderer, but she still went on to become a queen who possessed an equal amount of political power as her husband, even having her face minted on coins on the opposite side of his likeness, showing they were equal rulers.

Cleopatra and her influence on history, and her daughter’s legacy, have both been brushed aside in favour of the sexy Cleopatra visage. It’s bullshit. Egyptian mythology is interesting and vivid, and full of powerful women and it’s bullshit that we take some of the most powerful women in Africa’s history and try to turn them into fashion icons or sluts who only ruled through toying with men. 

I LIVE FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW THIS, people still refuse to believe that a woman can/could have achieved anything without beauty or fucking magical powers  

if you haven’t read this already, it’s worth the read
