quote i stumbled across a few days ago and can’t get out of my head it’s so important (via worth-recovering)

in brief: 

“i need a friend and i’ve only got one”

50 shades of phan

heart eyes howell (even while blind folded wtf)

“close your orifices” 

“Why are your cheeks so smooth?”

“i was leaning on you!”

basically a “my boyfriend does my makeup tag”

My munchkin wanted in on the #Blackout action. She likes to come to work with me! I am so inspired by this little girl everyday. In hope she never loses the 2 year old confidence she has right now. She loves her hair, her braids, her skin. She will tell you when she’s feeling pretty. Loves selfies too! I am so proud of her!

Been battling end stage kidney cancer for two years now. Still battling it and it is not easy at all but I try to keep the faith. #blackout For my beautiful cancer fighters and survivors out there.

God Bless. #Blackout.

"Now Normally I don’t do this but uhhhhhhhhima keep the party going"

This summer’s cancer fight. I won

I put a zig-zag part in my hair for work today because it’s 2002 hello

Dear Blackout,

My mother has never called me by name, 

she calls me beautiful

"How was your day, beautiful?"

"Beautiful, help clean up."

"Yes, beautiful?"

And I believed her.

But then I turned on the tv,

flipped through the magazines,

saw the only thing deemed a “beauty”

to look nothing like me. 

And as all the boys chased my friends,

with flirtatious words, fawning over fair faces, 

mine received not one glance

not one word

and the silence erased my mother’s words

in a deafening, hollowing way.

But days like today,

moments like this,

I hear her loud and

clear 

(once again)

"I see you, beautiful."

"I love you, beautiful."

”Beautiful.”

And so thank you, blackout,

for the reminder, 

sweet as honey,

warm as my mother’s voice,

that my black is beautiful.

(You all are beautiful to me.)

-m.g.

My blackout experience this far

Powerful video shows the harrowing talk parents often have with black kids 

Shortly after a Staten Island grand jury voted not to indict the officer who killed Eric Garner in a chokehold, Mayor Bill de Blasio told ABC News, “What parents have done for decades who have children of color, especially young men of color, is train them to be very careful when they have … an encounter with a police officer.”

Black parents and young people alike are doing just that in a new video that offers 10 rules of survival. The 2-minute PSA-style video from the SALT Project walks through some basic, but potentially life-saving tips for handling any police stop.

The tender, yet pointed 7 words that sum up all of the advice

Chameleon hatching

“teenagers skip breakfast because they think it will help them lose weight” ACTUALLY NO THATS BULLSHIT TEENAGERS SKIP BREAKFAST SO THEY CAN MAKE IT TO SCHOOL ON TIME WITHOUT WAKING UP AT 4 IN THE MORNING

i skip breakfast because it makes me nauseated to eat so early in the morning.

^——— This, right here.

do not read your child’s journal. i don’t care what the circumstances are, do NOT read your child’s journal. it will only teach your child that they have no safe place to express themself.

I’ll reblog this every day until I die

NOR THEIR TUMBLR OR SOCIAL MEDIA YES IT’S PUBLIC, BUT IT’S THEIR SPACE.

THIS IS REALLY RELEVANT RIGHT NOW
