i dont get offended at white people jokes even though im white because:
i can recognize white people as a whole have systemically oppressed POC in america, which is where i live
most people when they make white people jokes only mean the shitty white people and i am not a shitty white person
im not a pissbaby

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.
This is so important! Don’t let baby boomers who think you’re wasting your time tell you what your priorities should be. Go live your lives 🙌🏾
This is so incredibly beautiful!

Are y'all hearing me this morning?
At age 23, Tina Fey was working at a YMCA. At age 23, Oprah was fired from her first reporting job. At age 24, Stephen King was working as a janitor and living in a trailer.
At age 27, Vincent Van Gogh failed as a missionary and decided to go to art school. At age 28, J.K. Rowling was a suicidal single parent living on welfare.
At age 28, Wayne Coyne ( from The Flaming Lips) was a fry cook. At age 30, Harrison Ford was a carpenter. At age 30, Martha Stewart was a stockbroker. At age 37, Ang Lee was a stay-at-home-dad working odd jobs. Julia Child released her first cookbook at age 39, and got her own cooking show at age 51. Vera Wang failed to make the Olympic figure skating team, didn’t get the Editor-in-Chief position at Vogue, and designed her first dress at age 40. Stan Lee didn’t release his first big comic book until he was 40. Alan Rickman gave up his graphic design career and landed his first movie role at age 42. Samuel L. Jackson didn’t get his first major movie role until he was 46.
Morgan Freeman landed his first major movie role at age 52. Kathryn Bigelow won the Academy Award for Best Director when she made The Hurt Locker at age 57. Grandma Moses didn’t begin her painting career until age 76. Louise Bourgeois didn’t become a famous artist until she was 78. Whatever your dream is, it is not too late to achieve it. You aren’t a failure because you haven’t found fame and fortune by the age of 21. Hell, it’s okay if you don’t even know what your dream is yet. Even if you’re flipping burgers, waiting tables or answering phones today, you never know where you’ll end up tomorrow. Never tell yourself you’re too old to make it.
Never tell yourself you missed your chance.
Never tell yourself that you aren’t good enough.
You can do it. Whatever it is.
For some reason a bird speaking Japanese is mildly off putting.
> Literal translation
Bird:“ ‘Uhm Hello, this is the Ono family.”
Bird: “What’s wrong?”
Owner: “Abe-chan, you’re a little too early. Once the phone’s picked up, then properly say hello.”
Bird: “Okay, understood.”
Owner: “Do you really understand? I’m counting on you. Hello, this is the Ono family residence in Gifu.”]
Bird: “Okay, I understand!”
Owner: “Got it.”
> That’s clearly some sort of Pokemon.
> Off-putting? It’s like birds were meant to speak Japanese!
> For some reason it’s never occurred to me that birds can mimic languages other than English. It’s so cool, though!
That’s all the way fucked up lady should be under the jail.
This is heartbreaking.
