Infinite list of favourite lyrics: 216/?
4 Non Blondes - What's Up? (1992)
"And I try,
Oh my God, do I try;
I try all the time
In this institution.
And I pray,
Oh my God, do I pray,
I pray every single day
For a revolution!
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out, what's in my head,
And I -
I am feeling
A little peculiar.
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside,
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I
Scream from the top of my lungs:
'What's going on?'"
#favourite lyrics#4 non blondes#what's up?#linda perry#1992#bigger better faster more!#ok so the meme. yes this has been memed into infamy and become something legendary. but I'm of an age (cough) to remember this the#first time round‚ as a surprise smash hit that briefly dominated the radio waves and launched a hitherto unknown alt rock band#into the stratosphere (albeit briefly; the band was done and dusted by 94). there's a few things to cover here: it would be remiss#of me to not mention Perry's frankly astonishing vocals here‚ regardless of song content. she has the range darling! quite simply one#of the greatest vocal performances of the decade right there on this one hit wonder. actually 4NB hadn't appeared from nowhere‚ they'd been#plugging away since about 89‚ but Bigger was their sole album effort and it dropped in 92 (What's Up? got a single release the following#year). as i said‚ the band would disintegrate pretty quickly without ever replicating their brief taste of superstardom#there had already been shake ups before the album release‚ with founding members Wanda Day and Shaunna Hall unceremoniously fired#and replaced; also a contributing factor was Perry's image as an out lesbian band leader‚ often performing with a 'dyke' sticker fixed to#her guitar‚ including on television performances. the band had got their start playing at queer venues but there was apparently some worry#amongst the rest of the band about the particular image they were presenting‚ as well as the spotlight shone on their own sexualities#the band have played down any meaning to the lyrics in later years‚ but i think it's telling that it was Perry who wrote this before the#band‚ whilst she worked waiting tables and lived in a windowless one room apartment; it's difficult not to read into this both a frustrated#cry of rage‚ as well as a cathartic sense of self propulsion; a paean to self confidence and to the internal urge to rise above and beyond#the current situation. not without a hint of desperation ('oh my god do i pray..') but ultimately grounded in an unshakeable sense of self#(note just how many lines are delivered 'And I..'‚ almost affirmation like). this sense of identity and courage served Perry and the band#well; producer David Tickle (responsible for Hall's firing) reworked the song drastically pre release‚ adding instrumentals and switching#lyrics. the band were adamant he was wrong and went over his head to record exec Jimmy Iovine; he agreed and let them rerecord the song#to be more in line with Perry's demo. they did it in one day‚ and that's the version that went on to sell millions of copies and top charts#worldwide. that‚ Mr Tickle‚ is What's Up.#pride month#this counts!

4 non blondes
4 Non Blondes was an American alternative rock band formed in 1989. The group consisted of bassist Christa Hillhouse, guitarist Shaunna Hall, drummer Wanda Day, and vocalist and guitarist Linda Perry. The band is mainly known for their single "What's Up?" released in 1993.
In 1995, 4 Non Blondes participated with the song "Misty Mountain Hop" in the Encomium work, album tribute to Led Zeppelin.
Their leader and singer Linda Perry has worked solo since the band disbanded in 1995, producing songs on albums by Christina Aguilera, Celine Dion and Pink.

Shout out to @olivaraofrph​ for inspiring and helping compile this task! There’s a masterlist below compiled of over 120+ faceclaims categorised by gender with their occupation and ethnicity denoted if there was a reliable source. Great Sioux Nation refers to the Lakota, Dakota, and Nakoda Sioux peoples, as well as their subdivisions within those three, and their strong political structure together at the time of European contact. If you want an extra challenge use random.org to pick a random number! Of course everything listed below are just suggestions and you can pick whichever character or whichever project you desire.
Any questions can be sent here and all tutorials have been linked below the cut for ease of access! REMEMBER to tag your resources with #TASKSWEEKLY and we will reblog them onto the main! This task can be tagged with whatever you want but if you want us to see it please be sure that our tag is the first five tags, @ mention us or send us a messaging linking us to your post!

Hiding Behind the Couch, Volume 1 by Debbie McGowan, pages 115-116
"Do you want more tea?" Kris asked.
"Mm? Oh. Yes please, hun," Shaunna replied without looking up from the supplement she was reading. They were sitting at the kitchen table and had been for some time, the traumas from breakfast temporarily shelved to make room for a touch of Sunday normality. She pushed her sleeve up, rubbed her wrist across the open pages and sniffed at it. "Oh, yuck. That's horrid." She grimaced. Kris came over and lifted her wrist, holding it to his nose.
"It's all right, but not for you. Hang on." He spun the magazine to face him. He laughed. "That's aftershave."
"Ah, yeah, so it is. That'd explain it then." Shaunna laughed, too. Kris sneezed. "Oh dear. Sorry about that," she said, as he sneezed again, and then again. She turned that page so that no more of that awful smell could escape, her own nose feeling a bit irritated also, and went to the sink to wash her wrist. As she did so, she spotted something black out of the corner of her eye. It streaked across the kitchen and down the hallway, closely followed by Casper, their Labrador.
"Kris," she explained slowly, "it wasn't the perfume."
"Aftershave," he corrected, the force of his next sneeze jolting the open door of the cupboard where he kept his allergy pills.
"Whatever. I suggest you step outside for a minute."
With that, the cat came tearing back into the kitchen and leapt onto the table, tail held high, lashing from side to side. There was the sound of the large dog, half running, half skidding up the wooden floor of the hall, before arriving, more or less on all fours, at the table, where Kris intercepted him and, with all his might, dragged him by his collar out to the garden, sneezing all the way.

Bethune Cookman’s Professors Speak Out!
Dear Graduates of Bethune-Cookman:
First, congratulations! We are so proud of what you have accomplished. You have studied, prepared, planned, learned, and have earned what our parents, grandparents, and ancestors have had to fight, scrape, and die for in this nation. We are proud of you for that!
WATCHING YOU STAND AND TURN YOUR BACKS TO HER MAKES US ELATED. OVERJOYED. HUMBLED. IT WAS A DAY AND A MOMENT THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT CELEBRATING YOU AND WHAT YOU ACHIEVED.
Beyond becoming graduates, we are floating this morning thinking about how you stood up to your university and protested the woefully under-qualified Secretary of Education who attempted to address you at your graduation yesterday. Watching you stand and turn your backs to her makes us elated. Overjoyed. Humbled. It was a day and a moment that should have been about celebrating you and what you achieved.
The world watched you protest the speaker you never should have had. We cheered as we saw so many of you refuse to acquiesce in the face of threats and calls for complicity. Your actions fit within a long tradition of Black people fighting back against those who attack our institutions and our very lives with their anti-Black policies and anglo-normative practices. Betsy DeVos’ commitment to dismantling public education and her egregious framing of historically Black colleges and universities as “pioneers” in school choice are just two examples of why she should never have been invited to speak at an event celebrating Black excellence.
We shared your outrage when it was announced that DeVos would serve as your commencement speaker and receive an honorary degree. As your administration hid behind the rhetoric of “learning from people with divergent perspectives,” current students objected. Alumni petitioned. We watched from a distance wondering how but knowing why this moment was taken from honoring you.
But then, you turned it around, figuratively and literally. We beamed with joy as we watched videos and read tweets of how you took your graduation back to honor yourselves. To honor your founder. To honor our ancestors. To honor us all.
You represent the best of Mother Mary McLeod Bethune who took the little she had and built an institution that remains committed to bringing out the best in us. You are the best of us. We, the undersigned, are Black professors and college administrators— some of us at HBCUs, some of us at PWIs, some of us HBCU alums— and we thank you. We salute you. And we love you.
