The Huffington Post: “60 Stunning Photos Of Women Protesting Around The World”

Women’s March around the world [January 21, 2017] 

I usually hate my birthday, mainly due to self loathing. But because my friends are awesome and both my parents made me cake, today turned out to be a good day. I also registered a business name. Probably the most I've felt OK since the accident.

Shoutout to the people who:

-have symptoms that aren’t visible to others

-are able to function even while in extreme pain

-hide their illness well

-who don’t “seem sick”

-who have flareups at night or other times when no one else sees

-fight a daily battle that others can’t see

-feel like they’re making too big of a deal out of their illness because “it could be worse!”

I see you out there, I feel you, you’re awesome.

Sonequa Martin-Green is the first African-American Woman to lead ‘Star Trek’. This is pure #BlackGirlMagic. I’m so proud that black people are becoming more and more appreciated by the society and get opportunities they deserve after all these years of ignorance.

*blows a kiss up to space* for carrie 

*has a bad brain day but pushes through* for carrie 

*refrains from harshly critiquing myself when i look in the mirror* for carrie 

*fights the patriarchy* for carrie 

*is unapologetic about who i am and what i stand for* for carrie 

I was going to be like “an AU where all Leia writes all her official dispatched he exact same way that Carrie Fisher tweets,” except I think we all know in our heart of hearts that this is in fact canon, and the first thing you learn in the Resistance is a basic fluency in emoji

One time the First Order manages to intercept a few official communiques and they’re all like “wtf is this code” while Kylo Ren is standing to the side just dying inside because MOM GOD THIS IS SO EMBARRASSING

WARNING to anyone planning on LEAVING THEIR HOUSE

The outside has unfriendly people, as well as a gigantic ball of fire in the sky. In addition, you may sometimes encounter a bird or an unpleasant smell.

Posting this because THERE ARE NO POSTED WARNINGS when exiting your home.

SIGNAL BOOST THE HELL OUT OF THIS.

You have survived so much.

“Why do you take politics so personally.”

What if I told you

that these policies

affect me personally?

for 2017 and onward i’m gonna exist and thrive as a mentally ill person and tell anyone who doesnt like it to go fuck themselves because that’s what Carrie did, and she would want us to do the same.

what i want when i look up depression: those jokey posts that are actually a thinly veiled cry for help that are highkey relatable and an easy way for me to show im currently upset without being too obvious/worrying

what i get: black and white movie gifs with quotes taken way out of context and people making depression seem like some beautiful profound thing like nah fam i haven’t showered in 4 days and i want to die

Let’s Talk About How Black People Broke The Internet In 2016

Black people have a great influence on the internet and this year is not an exception.From hilarious videos to dancing and raising awareness about social injustice issues- this is all about us. It’s magical and it’s important. Enjoy you time watching all this awesomeness again!

1. Of course it’s a  #RunningManChallenge!

After high schoolers Kevin Vincent and Jeremiah Hall began posting videos of themselves doing a revamped running man to Ghost Town DJ’s “My Boo,” the challenge took the internet by storm. It even landed the teens a spot on “The Ellen Show” and a $10,000 scholarship.

2.  #SoGoneChallenge

Monica and Missy Elliot’s “So Gone” made a comeback when the internet started doing rapping over the beat in the #SoGoneChallenge. The best rendition, arguably, has to be Chance the Rapper singing to his girlfriend.

3.  When Luke Cage shut down Netflix

It’s no surprise that watching a black bulletproof superhero in a hoodie fight injustice would draw fans. But no one predicted that so many people would tune in that Netflix’s servers would shut down for a could of hours. Sweet Christmas

4.  #YouGoodMan

After rapper Kid Cudi revealed that he was getting treatment for his anxiety and depression, @DaynaLNuckolls and @TheCosby created a space for black men on Twitter to discuss and learn about mental health. It was a necessary hashtag that underscored the importance of this conversation continuing.

5.  MannequinChallenge and of course the best one that shows us injustice in America.  This challenge, made popular by black teens across the country, proved that standing perfectly still in mid-action poses demands more creativity than you’d think.

6.  #BeingABlackGirlIsLit

This hashtag, created by Cherrell Brown the day after Beyoncé gave a Black Panther-inspired performance at the SuperBowl, unapologetically celebrated black girlhood and womanhood. It served as a reminder that we always deserve to be uplifted and empowered.

7.  #BankBlack

Activists like Killer Mike issued a call to action for the black community to open accounts at their local black bank. This resulted in several black-owned banks seeing an increase in business, including Citizen’s Trust Bank in which 8,000 people opened bank accounts with in a span of five days.

8. #UNameItChallenge

Throwback videos aren’t safe from becoming memes. When Suede the Remix God and iComplexity got a hold of an old Shirley Ceasar sermon, they gifted the world with the most lit Thanksgiving anthem ever.

9. #BlackBoyJoy

After Chance tweeted this photo of himself on the red carpet with the caption #BlackBoyJoy, it sparked a movement. Other black men and boys began sharing photos of themselves and their loved ones exuding all of their glorious joy.

10.  #CarefreeBlackKids

“Another Round” host and “The Late Show” writer Heben Nigatu created this hashtag to spread some joy in the midst of black trauma. Seeing videos of little black kids enjoying life was the remedy we all needed.

11.  Dark Kermit memes

Social media users created some hilariously relatable memes from a video featuring Kermit the frog and his “dark side.” Black Twitter took this screenshot and ran with it, imagining scenarios in which their dark alter ego kicks in.

12.  Simone Manuel’s win

This little star told her mom “I got next!” after Simone Manuel tied for gold in women’s swimming at the Olympics this summer. Her and all of the black girls who witnessed Manuel make history proved just how much representation matters.

We are black, we are beautiful, we are caring and inspiring. Always remember that!

me: *wants to live a minimalist life with little to no clutter*

also me: I'm keeping this math assignment from 5th grade I might need it later.

THINK ABOUT HOW MANY PUPPIES WILL GET TO EXPERIENCE SNOW FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS WINTER. PUPPIES. CONFUSED ABOUT WHY THEIR FEET ARE COLD. CONFUSED ABOUT THIS FLUFFY STUFF. GOTTA BITE IT. GOTTA ROLL IN IT.
