it’s soooo laughable when people say that “girls don’t have a no homo mentality” or whatever. lmao i remember i read some article about how ~women are naturally more turned on by women~ and i was like Good I Am Straight Never Mind, and continued in that way of thinking for years. people will tell you again and again it’s ok, everyone thinks girls are hot, that’s just how girls are :))~~ it’s ok to be affectionate haha girlcrushes – and then there’s the unspoken “as long as you’re not actually a Predatory Lesbian” lol that shit kept me repressed/closeted for years 

If you want to find out how homophobic teen girls can be, see what happens when there’s only one girl Out in the school, and watch how suddenly other girls refuse to use the bathroom when she’s in it.

I KNOW WHAT I SAID YESTERDAY,  but i need you all to educate yourselves on something that is going on at the moment.   

if you’re in the uk,  i am sure you have heard of what is called the WINDRUSH GENERATION, but for those abroad essentially it is this:   a group of people from the british commonwealth who moved here legally have had their records lost / destroyed (to be determined) and a number of those people have been detained / not been able to be let back into the country after being abroad.  there are threats of deportation flying,  a man has his access to vital medicine on the NHS removed.  like i said,  these people are people who moved here when free immigration was legal,  prior to 1971,  and a lot of them LEGALLY on their parent’s passports (as was the system here) meaning a lot of them have no papers in their name.   primarily,   the people are black caribbean

here’s the scary part, and why i am posting,   my family are a part of this generation. my papi has lived her since he was 7 months old.  while my mammy is jamaican born and bred,  my papi never lived in his homeland,  and he could lose his right to work,  his right to the NHS,  his right to live here,  all because the home office lost papers,  and his were in his parents name.  now,  yes,  there have been A LOT of promises made in parliament,  and i know theresa may is saying nothing will happen to these people and cases of discrimination against rightful british citizens will be negated by the government but 1) MAY HAS A TRACK RECORD OF BEING ANTI-IMMIGRATION and 2) because the government lost the only things proving when people like my papi moved here,  we can’t prove they are rightful british citizens

so what am i asking????    

first,   educate yourselves,   please.   you can read some more in depth pieces about this through these links:  X, X, X, X– mentions of death in this one, VIDEO HERE.   

second,  if you are in the UK,  please please please please LOBBY YOUR MP’S.   you have a voice,   we have a voice.  send letters,  call them,   email them,  tweet them,  facebook them.  create a stir.  we are the people and we will not stand for some britons being treated better than others.

third,  if you are not from the UK —– share our voices.  seek us out,  we are speaking,  use your power to make us louder. 

forth,  PLEASE,   if you read nothing else i link,   read this.   please,   i beg you.   listen to the stories of people like my father.   listen to the windrush generation.     hear their voices. 

i know tumblr is america centric and i get it,   honestly,   i do.   but i am british-carribean before i am here for any of you and i am begging you,  don’t let us be silenced.

A good petition for people in the UK to sign is here: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/216539

It’s set to be debated on the 30th of April, so this is the perfect time to lobby MPs.

There’s a lot to read on twitter under the tag #windrushjustice, and anyone anywhere can use that hashtag; if you’re overseas, the best person to tweet might be Theresa May –

the delay where you think it might be possible that the tree will survive and then…nope

Fantastic video! And it perfectly illustrates why you never rest under a tree during a lightning storm. Not for risk of electrocution, but because of the tree. When lightning struck the tree, all of the sap inside of it boiled spontaneously – that’s what caused the tree to explode. So you’re more likely to be injured by shrapnel, boiling hot sap, and/or have stuff fall on you than be electrocuted.

I am drunk and on my way home walked past this truck that had pictures of fish on it and said ‘meat without feet’ I laughed so hardr

MEAT WITHOUT FEET

this got more attention than I thought it would

I saw a truck like this in NYC in the back of a taxi and the guy driving didn’t understand right away so my mom and I explained and he was like “ahh, right right! Meat without feet! Like snakes!” And my mom and I were like “……….yeah. Yeah that works too”

The key to getting over imposter syndrome is to know everyone else is an imposter too. Tell yourself you deserve a stake in the scam they’re all running.

turn your life into a heist tho 

you’re the best damn imposter they’ve ever seen you’re a fucking spy 

look at you go 

how many of them can you fool? SO MANY 

I fucking love this.
