Tumblr Rules

I notice on tumblr there is always a long ass debate going on about something that quite frankly, is terrifying that it’s even considered debatable. I’m gonna assume the demographics is between 17-30 here, and assume (hopefully) most of us aren’t having kids without being emotionally and financially ready. That said…listen. Maybe this next generation will be less bitter if we pass on and/or eliminate some things. –Don’t rape. Don’t catcall. Stop calling women hoes and thots and bitches. Girls, you too. It’s old. Teach your kiddos to respect all bodies. No body is ugly. Only a personality can be ugly. Fact. –Don’t be racist. White people, I’m talking to you. –Don’t assume “all ______ people do ______.” (This goes for all races however.) –Don’t assume if X, then Y. If one likes Sharpova it doesn’t mean they’re racist against Serena. (I’m team Serena though) –Stop shitting on new ideas because they scare you. Change is good. Change is needed. Especially now. –Don’t assume if it’s on tumblr with 100,000 notes it’s true. It’s very possible 100,000 ill informed/stupid people reposted something. –Tumblr is just tumblr. Reposting something doesn’t make you a revolutionary–so stay the fuck in school. Complain about it ON tumblr, but don’t think you’re Rosa Parks because you reblogged a picture with a deep caption you didn’t write. –If you wanna “shut it down” for ANY cause, write emails, get your ass in the streets, harass your city representatives…reblogging with a hashtag is rarely gonna fix anything. –Be nice. –Stop buying Iggy Azelia records. She’ll go away. –Rihanna is not the queen. Aretha Franklin is. –Stop talking about Trump and he’ll disappear. I promise. Just like Iggy. –The Kardashians are only famous because you want and allow them to be. –Kanye is not the greatest of all time. Jimi is. –You can say “all lives matter” AFTER we solve the white supremacy problem and aliens declare war on us as a human race. Until then, no. No. No.

I would switch some of them out for other people of color, but yes please make these a reality!

Bluetooth technology is named after Harald Blatand, a 10th-century viking king whose last name translates to ‘Bluetooth.’ Whether or not he had a literal blue tooth is debated, but he was renowned for peacefully bringing people from different lands together. The symbol on Bluetooth’s logo is also Blatand’s initials in ancient Runes. Source

Reasons to watch Nickelodeon's show Bella and the Bulldogs

Female football player. To be specific, the team’s quarterback. Not only is she tough, but she also keeps her feminine side. So she isn’t a girl who’s like ‘ewww makeup and skirts’. She’s more of a,” Shabooya, touchdowns and tiaras!!” She used to be a cheerleader.

The three main girls Bella, Pepper, and Sophie are really close and stick together and promote girl power.

Bella Dawson, the main character, is shown play with her dad football as a little girl and she has always loved football so her talent in the game isn’t just something they pulled out of nowhere.

The cast is super diverse!! Half the cast is a person of color.

A main character is adopted by an interracial couple.

They boys in the team didn’t want Bella on the team all of course. Troy, who used to be their quarterback, was one of the first to accept her into the team and let her play when they were playing an important game.

The boys have total respect for Bella’s privacy in the locker room, and they even built her her own little closet space for her to get dressed.

The main character has a single mother.

A boy on the football team is pretty sensitive.

The show is aimed towards little girls who will see that a girl is capable of being on the football team and being a quarterback. THIS IS IMPORTANT.

One of the side characters who is also a PoC, said on the show that he has two dads.
