Sav

Hard pill to swallow: not everyone is replaceable and it’s okay to miss or yearn for a type of relationship you had that you haven’t been able to find a substitute for. Different relationships trigger different parts of yourself and wanting those parts to be stimulated again, excited even, isn’t a crime or a symptom of unhealthy attachments. Considering there are few people on this Earth that we genuinely connect with on visceral levels, treating them post-relationship as if their impact on you was worthless and not one of a kind will only disappoint you. It doesn’t allow you to savor or treasure the connection in ways we probably should, nor does it promote healthy attachment or detachment going forward.

a "can we talk" can fix a lot

no nigga formed against me shall prosper

I actually started in improv and sketch first, and was very interested in comedic writing. That was my focus. Then I had videos go viral on Instagram, and that kind of changed my course. Before my course was, “Okay, I’ll get really good at writing, really good at stage performance, and work towards SNL, and then work towards a show.” Then, when I had videos that went viral online, the path changed a little bit, and I had a lot of demand to be seen in person by people, and so stand-up was the easy way to perform for people. I was really enjoying it. I looked at it as another form of storytelling, and while it’s not my favorite vehicle of storytelling, it was one that I enjoyed for a very long time, and still do from time to time. – Quinta Brunson for Flaunt Magazine

‘ALL POWER TO THE BLACK PEOPLE’

The Late, Great and Legendary Ernie Barnes. 1938-2009

I never knew his named, thanks for sharing

One thing I need Americans to understand is that #BlackLivesMatter is not just about American black lives. Black lives are in danger around the globe. Some of the danger to non American Black Lives is at the hands of American Government Officials.

stop telling black girls that they need to flat iron their hair straight for certain events like a prom or something formal. stop telling black girls that their natural hair in its natural state can’t be formal or professional.

hope all my girls do something beneficial for their mental health today

I’m not impressed by what kind of car you drive, or what job you got, or the house you live in or your social status. I’m impressed by the mindset you have, the heart you hold and the way you value yourself & others around you.

I think one of my least favorite types of responses to people speaking up on sexual harassment and sexual assault is are articles like “in wake of weinstein, men wonder if hugging women still ok”, and comments like “this is why men don’t pursue women anymore”, “i don’t wanna work with women cause i don’t want a lawsuit”, or “i don’t even look at women anymore cause everything is sexual harassment”. this is a particular brand of rape culture, men acting as if women are overreacting, as if men don’t have the basic social skills to know the difference between wanted and unwanted advances, as if women simply setting boundaries is “cramping their style” and “emasculating” them, as if the rules of respecting women are super confusing, so confusing that they’re supposedly forcing men not to interact with us altogether.

this is an act they’ve been putting on for decades: playing stupid, pretending not to know better and then getting upset when we tell them what “better” is. if that doesn’t show you how emotional and emotionally manipulative they are, i don’t know what does.

It’s black history month in the uk so happy black history month. I hope we make strides for equality during this month.

The audacity of y’all to believe that the reputation of a black man is more important than the life of a black woman...😂. Y’all get no sympathy from me. Put that useless nigga in jail for life so we can all move forward...
