When I tell you white folks are trying to take over ALL our shit, Including the language that they call us ‘ghetto’ and ‘ignorant’ for using? And they sellin it on teeshirts like a white woman would come up with that phrasing. AAVE is the same language they penalize us for using, denying us opportunities and resources, calling us ignorant, But they put it on a shirt with a BLONDE bitch and SELL IT? I feel kicked in the chest. 

How does that phrase even go with this damn Disney princess (any Disney princess really)?
They have the nerve to be appropriative and not even clever…

isn’t that the sleeping beauty girl? she slept through her whole fucking movie. 
all she got is time. 

Also, why is she wearing glasses? What the fuck does glasses have to do with anything?

SMH……really?!

“I don’t want to ignore my Blackness. I just want to get to the point where my racial identity is simply a part of what makes me unique in the way being from the Bronx makes me unique, or being an Aquarius, or being born in 1977 and having hip-hop be a part of my heartbeat.”

I like art, and by art I mean music, poetry, sex, paintings, the human body, literature… All of this is art to me.

youngblackandvegan:

Every part of me and my body is politicized
My skin
My hair
My uterus
My culture
Loving myself and valuing my humanity, in a society that sees me as nothing more than a commodity, is an act of political resistance

And loving those like me is an act of political solidarity.

this is the best way I have heard this expressed.

he is exactly like dave grohl in that your rational brain tells you he shouldn’t be conventionally attractive but somehow, his personality goes into overdrive and convinces you otherwise

Monday, What?

Today, I didn’t get jack all done.  I mainly stayed in bed until the sun came out later. I couldn’t figure out why I was SO fatigued…then I realized I had been up off and on all night long. Every. Hour. On Friday I’m giving a talk to grade schoolers about being an Artist/Animator. Yay me…lol

I did go see Star Trek this weekend. It was a fun movie. Saw it in 3D IMAX. First time doing the 3D IMAX thing. It made the movie funner, I think. I thoroughly enjoyed myself (being the Trekkie that I am). The only downside was that movie started at 9:30am.
