Black girls deserve to learn free from bias and stereotypes.
Most black girls experience this hatred at schools. And classmates are not the only problem, there is no support from teachers, too. That’s why they get so affected by their school experiences. Black kids deserve to be treated just like everybody else, they want to study, they want to learn something ,too. However due to prejudice they are 5 times more likely to be suspended than their white peers and it can ruin their lives forever.
National Women’s Law Center created this video to change the situation. Join the movement to help black girls feel normal and get the same opportunities everybody else has.
A lot of people in the notes are assuming that Trump is being dumb for saying that people should specifically be deported for protesting injustices perpetuated by the American government, while missing the broader point of what he’s saying and why:
If you do “un-American” and “treasonous” things like protest, you should be exiled from the country. A staggering amount of people in America believe this – that you should “love America or leave it” – and Trump is absolutely signalling his virtues to his most ardent supporters here.
“you can’t have an asian elf. elves don’t have human races”
*puts my mouth on the mic* excuse me mr. big bad dungeon’s master but i think it’s gonna be hard for you to run this campaign when you’re too busy being a shitty little bitch
why are half the comments on this post “it’s fine i guess if you can make it fit with the lORE” like dear god are ppl of color just . not real to you weirdos we don’t need a “””reason to exist””” in fiction or reality
Anyone who says X cant be this skin color doesn’t understand how skin
color even works. People are not black because they’re “African”.
They’re black because their ancestors lived in a equatorial, arid region for ten thousand years and their bodies darkened to protect their
cellular structure from solar radiation.
People are tan because their ancestors either A) lived closer to the poles but still close enough to the equator to need darker skin tones or B) they lived on a coastline and fish was a huge part of their diet.
People are light because their ancestors lived very close to the poles and did not have a large seafood diet and needed lighter skin to absorb more sunlight so they can produce the essential Vitamin D.
That’s right. Your skin tone is because of an essential need for Vitamin D. The more sunlight you get, the darker your skin gets. The less, the lighter.
So an elf can be darker skinned because every world has a fucking sun and elves need Vitamin D too.
Unless you’re a drow and then you’re just a fucked up elf.
my ace/lesbian friend went to a pride festival today!!! im super happy for her!!!
the shitty part is that she left an hour in because she was scared of getting punched. for carrying an ace flag. at pride.
someone threatened her. at pride. because she was ace.
i dont wanna dabble in ~discourse~ but hey!!! maybe don’t make people scared of the community that should make them feel safe!!!! thats my hot take!!!!
Ways in which my cat is helping me fix my mental health
Having a little living thing around makes me feel less alone.
He doesn’t have the expectations that humans have. He will never judge me or abandon me. He’s just there.
Caring for a living thing is honestly so therapeutic. I get to give, and I’m good at it. It’s good for my self-worth and it gets me out of my own focus.
It’s not a lot of pressure or a lot of work so it doesn’t affect my anxiety much.
I have to feed him and clear his litterbox which gives me regularity in my day. If I have to get up to feed him I don’t stay in bed all day.
I can talk to him instead of being alone with my thoughts.
Getting to know him, play with him, communicate with him keeps my brain busy so I don’t spiral.
Cats are lively and like to play. Life is easy and fun for them. Seeing things through his eyes gives me a different perspective.
They also sleep a lot and watching a cat sleep is one of the purest and most soothing experiences on this planet.
Very Soft. Peaceful. Grounding. Warm. Petting a cat will improve your day 1000x
PURRING. That’s all.
I love him. Feeling this love makes me feel warm inside, it’s gentle, it’s hopeful. And it shows me I can still feel good things.
He loves me back and I don’t think I’ll ever be over how happy and purry he is everytime I get home, how he comes running, taptaptap, squeaking, when I call his name, or the way he looks into my eyes when he feels safe and content. I’m loved!
I’m responsible for this little thing. He depends on me. That’s a good enough reason to stay alive even when things get bad.
If you are able to care for a cat, I could never recommend it enough. Plus, a lot of cats need homes.
If you can’t, know that Loki knows it gets bad sometimes but he also knows that you are brave, and that you will be okay.
