#young black and gifted

[theartofsupafly]

it's really just my mom & I. I just appreciate each day. My family is just so small so there's a lot of pressure on me as the middle child and of us three brothers I'm the true only one with emotional intelligence and care. My brothers are so mean to my mom and lacks respect cause they swear they know it all. They have internal issues with themselves( little brother ADHD/anger issues & older brother has ignorant pessimistic views along with post marital infidelity issues) and they project so much onto her. It's draining her

Being the only one with no children yet of the three as well there's always this conclusion that I can't relate to being a father(when I'm a great uncle to my nephews and niece) and other judgemental talk because I am a single adult in 24'. I do have a life as well, I have burdens and just as valuable responsibilities as them with children .Just because I don't have children yet don't mean I don't go through daily life stresses etc

So I just enjoy each day I get to talk to my mom, visit her back in NYC, spend time with her and just enjoy those loving moments while she's still here.

I do pray that I can have a child and my wife before that day comes she transitions but I just don't best to live life and allow God to play this all out.

This started as a quick post to now a venting post that I hope people who are experiencing anything similar to this can know that you are doing your best and know that you are great to people.

i know for a fact that everytime the marauders went out to eat they would pretend that it was sirius' birthday for the free desert and attention. i also know for a fact that remus hated that they did that.

I’m sorry but bartylus will forever remain in my heart as the young teenage couple who married the moment they got out of college, maybe even earlier.

They met in elementary and were unofficially dating from 7th grade to freshman year of high school until Barty loudly shouted out “THAT’S MY BOYFRIEND FUCKFACE!” When some dude insulted Regulus’ overly pretentious attitude. They were never seen separated and are often found in the halls holding hands and getting food together, they share a locker so people often see Barty getting snacks from Regulus’ locker, and spend their free period in each other’s classes so much so that the teachers just accept the extra student.

Sirius runs away and Barty is with him nonstop that he tries to switch his classes to be with him, but only stops cuz it’s too late in the semester. They get engaged during graduation and run away in the middle of the night to elope and officially cut off their family (except Mrs Crouch) when they enter college.

They are the messy and sleazy married couple with the deepest and loyal love for each other, it’s just a little hard to tell with the bickering. They have 2 cats and German shepherd who they treat better than anyone else and Barty makes vulgar comments when older people comment on how young they married.

They spent their honeymoon going around restaurants and fake proposing to get free deserts before heading back to their tiny apartment and basically disappear for like 3 months which makes their friends worried asf until they spot Regulus and Barty getting ice cream in a park one midsummer and Dorcas is like “I NEARLY CALLED THE COPS??”

Kay that’s all gnnnm

Lorraine Hansberry's lesbianism is one of my favorite pieces of Black literary history.

Words cannot express how tempted I am to write a side piece to FF that details GS’ POV from finding out her grandson got stabbed to the reveal.

I want to show her full commitment to the bit. Getting Paul to assist her, listening in as Andrew and Neil talked in the car, her thoughts regarding all of this, Wymack having texted her exactly where she needed to go beforehand, her going up to the receptionist and pretending she doesn’t know English to sell the bit further, the stroke of luck that is dear sweet Nicholas, Squeezing the SHIT out of Wymack’s hand so he doesn’t rat her out because he KNOWS she’s speaks English, and the realization that is “Aw shit, they’re good kids Sara and you’ve already lied to this extent already. Time for the Smith family tradition of ‘COMMIT.’”

Tired

Fun fluffy microfic for y’all today based off this post

Remus was just sitting in the common room, flicking idly through a book, as Sirius walked in, dropping down next to him. Remus smiled at him, the smile quickly giving way for concern for a moment.

“Hey, you okay?”

“Mmm, tired.” He hummed, resting his head on Remus’ shoulder, hand winding through his arm.

Remus froze, trying to make sure his shoulders hadn’t tended up.

Fuck.

Fuck.

Fuck.

He was still staring straight ahead at his book, the word suddenly unintelligible as his heart sped up, face heating as he was pretty sure he was turning a dangerous shade of red. Merlin knows how long he stayed like that until Sirius’ breathing turned even, having bloody fallen asleep.

Remus couldn’t move, not unless he wanted to wake Sirius up, which he didn’t, which meant he had to live with the warmth of the boy he loved who he hoped to god would someday love him back slept.

The painting opened again, Remus turning his head as Lily walked in. She paused in front of the two of them, arching an eyebrow.

“Turning a bit red there, Remus?” She said quietly, amused.

“Shut up. I’m going to jump off the fucking astronomy tower.” Remus whispered back declaratively.

we must begin to tell our young

there's a world waiting for you

yours is a quest that's just begun

when you're feeling really low

when you're young, gifted and black

your soul's intact

how to be young, gifted and black

oh how I long to know the truth

there are times when I look back

and I am haunted by my youth

oh but my joy of today

is that we can all be proud to say

to be young, gifted and black

is where it's

"To be young, gifted and black" - Nina Simone

1970 Music: Nina Simone; lyric: Weldon Irvine

Nina Simone sums up the late 1960s Black power movement in one graceful, angry song. It's number 12 in Let's Do It, my personal fifty favourite singles from 1954-76.

The song takes its title from something said by Lorraine Hansberry, who had died in 1965. A memorial book of her works was published, turned into a stage show, of which one critic wrote, "Never in the history of the American theatre had so much of the truth of black people's lives been seen on the stage."

Nina wanted lyrics that "will make Black children all over the world feel good about themselves forever." Her friend, the beat poet Weldon Irvine, wrote the words in a relaxed session.

Captures the moment of Black Power, the era of big hair and raised fists. It's an affirmation to the global majority: you are worthy of respect, don't let anyone say otherwise.

Nina Simone's version was a big hit Stateside; on this side of the pond, Bob and Marcia had the hit. The original is better, Nina completely got what she was singing.
