Drop the idea of becoming someone,
because you are already a masterpiece.
You cannot be improved.

You have only to come to it, to know it, to realize it.

blackmanonthemoon:

A reaction to oppression cannot be equated with oppression as it is dismissive of the notion that a reaction is necessary for survival. Hence why equating the Black Panthers to the KKK is an invalid and ignorant argument. One organization prides itself on chauvinistic and…

Why I hate School but love Education.

Spoken word, so sick, all my fellow students need to watch this. Infact, even if you aren’t in higher education, watch this anyway.

Does success in the school system correlate to success in life? Or is the school system simply geared towards fact retention and regurgitation?

What is true education?

Here are some awesome and empowering quotes from several very strong female celebrities.

And Kristen Stewart.

No, you know what? Fuck you.

Let me tell you about Kristen Stewart.

Let’s talk about how she’s the centerpiece of one of the most inexplicably popular misogynistic pieces of film shit and somehow gets blamed for it sucking, despite the fact that, hey, the books were actually worse. For those who were lucky enough to escape reading the actual books, her apparent lack of emotion is 100% accurate to Bella’s character, because Bella is in fact not a character but a blank white wall for fourteen-year-old girls to project themselves onto. Robert Pattinson is not the only one in the cast who hates Twilight, thank you.

Let’s talk about how she got crucified in the media for having an affair with a married man, when that man was her director. And let’s remember that she was called all manner of things for “ruining her relationship with RPattz” when she wasn’t even engaged to the dude, let alone married with kids. But oh no, she gets called a slut because she’s Kristen Stewart, she gets her career fucked because she’s Kristen Stewart, and the dude gets off scott free.

Let’s talk about how she is incredibly shy and anxious (rather, incidentally, like Chris Evans) but does film anyway, because she’s just that awesome.

Fuck your noise. She’s not the best actor in the world but she sure as hell doesn’t deserve that kind of shit.

Roseanne Barr, however, is transphobic as hell. Let’s aim the criticism where it’s deserved, huh?

“

And then I learned about the history of Europe — that as Christianity moved north, midwives, nurses, and so-called “witches” were sought after in a campaign of genocide — about four million women were killed by European leaders. So the reason that European men could do this to our people is because they had already cut the umbilical cord to their homeland.

I began to see the reasons for the feminist movement as a healing for white women. As Indigenous people we never experienced our men doing to us what European men had done to European women. I have never identified myself as a feminist even though we are all strong for the rights of our people.

”

- Andrea Carmen, Feminism for Real

Something to consider when people start saying that brutalization of women is mostly perpetrated by men of colour.

“But liberation can only happen in the wake of OUR ~~Genocide Enslavement Colonialism Land Grabs Privatization~~ DEMOCRACY we must edumacate & SAVE these [insert non-Western descriptor] women from their culture and themselves!!!11”

Now do you see what the fuss is about? Sweet Jesus.

My body is ready, Grampa. Come show me how they did it before the Civil Rights Movement…

POP POP could so get it.

Sixty?!? In what? Dog years?!? What in the Benjamin Button…

The saying is “Good black don’t crack”, not “Good black completely defies the laws of time and gravity.”

I need to sit down.

On his face.

Oh yes, this .gif is MOST appropriate.

Wait. THIS MAN IS 60???? Did he sell his soul to the devil??? He looks 30!

This man is 60 years old. SIXTY YEARS OLD. He’s older than the President. He’s older than Lil Mama.

I’m sorry. If this was one of y’alls daddy/granddad you’d just have to deal with the collection of draws on your front lawn.

setiferous:

A massive pack of 25 timber wolves hunting bison on the Arctic circle in northern Canada. In mid-winter in Wood Buffalo National Park temperatures hover around -40C. The wolf pack, led by the alpha female, travel single-file through the deep snow to save energy. The size of the pack is a sign of how rich their prey base is during winter when the bison are more restricted by poor feeding and deep snow. The wolf packs in this National Park are the only wolves in the world that specialize in hunting bison ten times their size. They have grown to be the largest and most powerful wolves on earth.
