Growing up Mixed: "But I was this shade two days ago!"

I am the token black friend for people who are uncomfortable around poc

I started making friends with someone who made a comment in a conversation that “black people have more privileges [than white people]” (which, first of all, what the actual fuck) and now I’m not comfortable around her anymore.

I just don’t understand how people who know me can say the most insane, ridiculous, and racist things to or around me.  I’m tired of feeling safe with people and then being blindsided.

PLEASE HELP! I am a graduate student studying voice performance (w/ an emphasis in opera) at the University of South Florida. I got accepted into this summer program and it’s a big opportunity for me since I’ll get to perform in Savannah and the Tampa Bay area. 

I need to raise  $2800 in 15 DAYS!!! Y’all this would really help further my career aspirations and I really never thought that I’d have something like this happen to me! Anything you can give would be a huge help! Thank you!!!

It’s comforting that I can be off of tumblr for almost a year and you guys are all still here

Side note: I got a grown up job and I’m responsible for children now.  Feel free to be terrified, lol

Ladies and Gentleman, the man that will be in history books. He was throwing the burning tear gas. Not to the cops but away from the children protesting. In his American Shirt and bag of chips. Check his twitter.

somebody should write an essay comparing and contrasting tina from bob’s burgers and meg from family guy and explain why tina hit the mark for respectfully portraying the awkward teenage years and why meg is a huge fucking insensitive joke that isn’t even funny

the best part about being in your 20’s is slowly caring less and less about what people think of you and surrounding yourself with good people

the worst is that I’m broke

can we just start a movement where we go to male politicians events and we ask them sexist questions like “if you are elected who will take care of the kids” and “what designer are you wearing tonight” “do you think that your stunted and constipated male emotions will affect your decision making”

Meet The First Woman To Make It Into The FDNY’s Calendar Of Heroes. Danae Mines became one of the few female firefighters in the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) 11 years ago, despite her family telling her that only men joined the department. This year, she broke down another barrier by becoming the first woman to be featured in the FDNY’s 2015 Calendar of Heroes. She had been told that the honor was reserved for men, but when she saw the open call for firefighters, she went, despite feeling a little intimidated standing in line with more than 100 men. There are currently only 41 women in the department, but perhaps the attention Danae is getting will increase that number. “I wanted my picture in the calendar so that young girls and young women can see me and know that they can do this job,” she told the New York Daily News.

I’m actually concerned for boys who complain about how different girls look without makeup. Like did you think eyeshadow permanently alters a girls eyelid? Are you frightened when people change clothes
