Happy Birthday, @sutanamrull. My iPhone is so old it takes 8mm videos. Here is Raja and @carmen_carrera on the beach in Australia. (at Surfers Paradise Beach, Gold Coast Australia)
“I like clothes now. I have more energy. I sleep better. My sex drive is up. Blood’s flowing. I’m less susceptible to impulse. I’m in a different mode. When I was way out of shape, the idea of using whitening strips on my teeth seemed terrible. I have to do that every day? I’ll never do it. What you want is instant results when you’re out of shape. You want your teeth whitened in 45 minutes with the use of lasers. But when you’re in shape, you know it’s the result of doing a little bit every day. Moments aren’t just moments. A moment might be a week or a month. So instead of Boy, I’d love to eat this hamburger right now, I’m considering a little further into the future. I’m thinking, I eat that hamburger and that’s 1,200 calories, and I’m gonna work out tomorrow and lose 800 calories. I may as well eat a salad here, still do that workout, and then I’m actually making progress.” — Chris Pratt
When you try and turn #BlackLivesMatter into All Lives Matter, what you’re saying is “I don’t feel included.” You’re saying “I don’t feel like a part of the conversation.” Here’s the thing, though. White people aren’t a part of the movement, because the movement is about the oppression involved in institutional racism, and that’s something white people have never experienced. Plain and simple. It isn’t including you because it isn’t about you.
Thank you myannoyances for laying the smack down on my Facebook when one of my elementary school teachers continued to argue #AllLivesMatter and then started with the “black on black crime” bullshit. By that point I was too angry to even respond. (via chescaleigh)
