Idris Elba: Why me, though? Lucy Liu: I think that you are a pioneer similar to me in that way, in ethnicity and in scope and in range. You’re also a Renaissance man and understand the different venues we travel just to understand who we are. We do music, we do art, we act, we write, we direct because we are trying to discover who we are. It’s a journey—a lifelong journey. (x)

can we talk about cyntoia brown for a moment though

cyntoia brown is a girl who is serving life in prison after being wrongly tried as an adult at the age of 16.

she was forced into sex work by her abusive boyfriend, and was picked up by a 43 year old johnny allen on a street corner. she then impulsively shot him out of fear, not intending to kill him, when he started acting threatening towards her. she was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder during her trial as a result of severe abuse over many years.

johnny allen was committing a sex crime against an underage mentally ill girl forced into sex work against her will. cyntoia brown committed manslaughter out of self defense at the age of 16 and is now in jail for life after being tried as an adult for first degree murder.

please reblog this, and sign this petition, because seriously not enough people know about this.

Check it out, parents-to-be!  This amazing androgynous pregnancy line is about to open, so you don’t have to compromise your look, your gender presentation, or your comfort.  

butchbabyco is founded by two awesome people, Vanessa Newman and Michelle Janayea:

“The story of Butchbaby & Co. began with two best friends and a dream. I met my best friend freshman year of college. It was bromance at first sight, and after we hit it off on the first week, we knew we’d be friends forever. We dreamt of growing old together, getting married not too far apart from each other, and having children at the same time so that they too could repeat the cycle of friendship. The thing was, the both of us are butch. Whenever we envisioned our future together, the dream always stopped short at carrying children. We both knew we wanted to, but we could never imagine what we’d wear. And when we did imagine ourselves in pregnant butch attire, that’s exactly what it was— only a figment of our imaginations because these clothes didn’t exist. Then one day, it hit me: I could change that. I could create more androgynous maternity wear not just for me but for every masculine identified individual who dreams of carrying a child and looking handsome doing it. And that’s how Butchbaby & Co. was born. Out of a dream and out of a necessity for all child bearing parents-to-be to have a more comfortable alternative to the current maternity wear we are provided.

—CEO/Founder, Vanessa Newman”

Reasons why I can’t sleep at night because Leelah was sent to her last journey in a suit and she was called he and her parents cried like they were the victims because Darren Wilson is still free to tell his part of the story while Michael Brown can never speak again. because blaming the dead man is easier. because yelling i can’t breathe 11 times till you can no longer speak means nothing. because there are people who would rather kill the person than kill the problem because my no is voiceless without excuses because when i say I’m bi they correct it to “you’re just confused” because gay is still used as a insult because it’s women fault that Elliot Rodger killed 6 people because that poor boy just wanted to get laid. because girls learn how to be sexual objects before they even know what sex is because some people kill themselves ‘cause they are so embarrassed of something they can’t change because loving anything else than straight skinny cis person is considered a fetish because it’s not really rape if he is cute or famous because it’s her fault if she was drunk or wearing a mini skirt because i would run out of ink before I’d run out of reasons …

I found someone once using a picture of me as their icon (I think it was on LJ) and I don't think I could have been more freaked out. But they stopped when I asked them to.

*sees my own icon on my dash*

And not all light skinned black people have parents of different races. Sometimes we just have one or two light skinned black parents. Thanks.

before u assume a lighter-skinned character is white keep in mind

lighter skinned poc exist

biracial/mixed ppl are a thing

light skin/white passing =/= white

thanks

But sometimes you can kinda tell they are queer because of who they slept with? I dunno...most of the "not out" people in my family don't hide their same sex relationships with any fervour. It's a thing.

This is important (X)

A limerick:

Doesn’t look like a limerick to you? Try this:

A dozen, a gross, and a score Plus three times the square root of four Divided by seven Plus five times eleven Is nine squared and not a bit more.

cf what I was saying about Canada and violence..

Friendly reminder: Canadian Residential Schools were open right up until 1996

three years after i was born

So if you think that Canadian violence against First Nations people is a thing of the dark past you are dead wrong

Post Dog Day Afternoon, I don't know what to do with my headcanon aka impression that Dean has been scared of dogs since the hellhounds ripped him apart. I'd say I wanted someone to go to a con and ask, but more likely I need help finding a past con where someone already has.

White people on Annie: “Why is Annie Black?! What the hell?!?!

White people on Idris Elba possibly being James Bond: “James Bond can’t be Black!!!!”

White people on Donald Glover joking about Spider-Man: “Why would Spider-Man be Black! Don’t you dare fucking play as Spider-Man!”
