Trevor Noah and Roy Wood Jr. discuss #OscarsSoWhite
in my next relationship I want my boyfriend to boss me up. Acknowledge my accomplishments no matter how small. Be my #1 fan & always cheer me on. Support my dreams & make me feel like I’m the only girl in the world, even on my lowest days.
Uzo Aduba, Dascha Polanco and Tituss Burgess Dish About Diversity: Slowly, but surely, television is becoming more diverse, portraying a whole spectrum of different genders, races, and sexualities. But how far have we come and how far do we still have to go?
It’s kinda sad how children automatically label themselves as “dumb” when they can’t do or understand MATH… Seeing how the world puts so much emphasis on MATH, nobody gets credit when they’re amazing at writing, or music, or ART… Because the only thing that really matters is the fucking quadratic formula, right?
I find it terribly tragic that the world has no love for the arts unless fame comes into the equation.
Ive never been a people pleaser. So I’ve never cared who didn’t like me
the weirdest thing about 2016 is that there’s a chance we could actually have our first female president…and i’m praying to god that we elect an old white dude instead
the kids on tumblr are more receptive to text posts that lack proper capitalization and I am a businessman
pls support young afro-latina girls who struggle with cultural identity and self acceptance!!!!
shout out to girls who never go to school wearing makeup and have messy hair and want to look nice but never really have the energy to because i dont see very many posts for them and i want them to know that im proud they were able to get out of bed
disney character: mirror mirror on the wall, who is the farest of them all?
mirror: look, susan, beauty is a socially constructed concept which can be defined in many ways by different people. moreover, regardless of which definition is used, it cannot be quantified and therefore cannot be accurately compared.
i just wanna illegally watch a movie online man i ain’t tryna fuck no single busty russians in my area
a lot of men say they want women to embrace their natural beauty but they really just want women who are already “pretty enough” without makeup to not wear makeup… like, you don’t want someone to show their natural acne and scars and natural hyper pigmentation, you don’t let women have their natural mustaches, chin hair, beards, and unibrows without shitting on them, which is exactly how they grow for a lot of people, etc. you want women to wax and shape their natural brows, remove their natural facial hair and body hair, and do a strict skincare regimen to manipulate the chemistry and physiological processes of their skin to maintain clear unblemished skin and adhere to already existing beauty standards. you just don’t want them to wear the style of makeup you don’t like lol
There’s so much pain in this photo. Poc in solitary marching for eachother
this picture deserves more context than it’s been getting. on the far left is linda sarsour. she is a palestinian-american racial justice and civil rights activist and media commentator. in the middle is carmen perez, co-founder of Justice League NYC and criminal justice reform activist. on the far right is tamika mallory, a civil and human rights activist and freedom fighter.
this is the march2justice. it was a 250 mile-long walk from staten island to washington, dc. they were delivering what they call the justice package, a list of proposals for congress that would seek to end racial profiling, the militarization of police, and to support programs to prevent the incarceration of young people. about 100 people marched with them. i got to listen to linda sarsour speak very briefly at an Islamic Relief fundraiser while this was going on. these women are astonishing.when they reached baltimore, they decided to put the march on hold. all three of them are now there, marching and reporting. the march2justice explicitly states its support of all black people, cis and trans, incarcerated and not. more information on the march2justice can be found here.
It’s important to know that hijab is banned in schools in most of the european countries, such as france, belgium, switzerland etc. Millions of girls have to take their hijab off everyday in order to have access to education, and I am one of them. Please spread this as much as possible, it has become so normal here that I feel like a fool for even mentioning it, but I’m pretty sure it goes against the human rights. This senseless law has been on since 2004 and pretends that all the students have to be “equal” and it is prohibited to show that you belong to any religion, any religious sign must be set aside. However, most of us have to take our hijab off in schools where you can clearly see a christmas tree or a christian cross. “Yeah but it’s not the same”, they say. Tell me about double standards. I pray for days when we don’t have to chose between religion and education.
I would respond because this shit still has repercussions in this day and age! Or I would just say, “Because I’m a human being who cares about other human beings.”
