My Face Is Having Uncontrollable Spasms. Great. It Hurts Really, Really, Really Bad.

I love how confident he is with them on. I wish men would use this kind of clothing, female-labeled clothing, without feeling “less masculine.”

Black Lives Matter: It’s more than a hashtag.

We kicked off this year with a celebration of Black voices and storytellers, showcasing their continuous contributions to science, music, art, literature, media, fashion, gaming, and many other fields. With #BlackExcellence365, we also highlighted artists like Aundre Larrow (@aundrelarrow) and Gianni Lee (@giannilee).

As the country dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic, Black communities disproportionately fell victim to undue violence and death at the hands of the very institutions that were built to serve them. In May, for eight minutes and 46 seconds, the world watched as George Floyd’s life was snatched from him at the hand, or rather under the knee, of an officer sworn to protect him. In eight minutes and 46 seconds, George Floyd was added to a long list of names that live on through hashtags. In the wake of his brutal murder, the world erupted in protest. 

In eight unbearable minutes and 46 horrifying seconds, “Black Lives Matter” had a new meaning. Overnight, the words transformed from a hashtag into something more tangible, something to live by and enact. For many, they represented the beginning of a journey of learning and unlearning—of edification and empathy. For others, they served as the echoed cry of the angry, anguished, and heartbroken. “Black Lives Matter” is more than a movement. It’s a space to mourn the loss of the countless Black men and women who were murdered—like Floyd—for simply being themselves. 

We remember and never forget:

Breonna Taylor | George Floyd | Elijah McClain | Rayshard Brooks | Daniel Prude | Tony McDade | David McAtee | Walter Wallace | Kevin Peterson | James Scurlock | Atatiana Jefferson | Aura Rosser | Stephon Clark| Botham Jean | Philando Castille | Alton Sterling | Michelle Cusseaux | Freddie Gray | Janisha Fonville | Eric Garner | Akai Gurley | Gabriella Nevarez | Sandra Bland | Tamir Rice | Michael Brown | Tanisha Anderson | Korryn Gaines | Rekia Boyd | Kayla Moore | Amadou Diallo | Sean Bell | Oscar Grant III | and countless others

#BlackLivesMatter has been trending on Tumblr since May, where it will remain for as long as the community stays engaged. By sharing resources, artwork, and communities we can keep important causes top of mind for us all.

“You’re a creative dreamer”

just took a quiz that tells you about your future based on your palm lines!  let me know what you all find out or if it’s accurate for you!
