A 13-year-old girl in Britain is the latest student to be removed from class because of her hairstyle. Amanda Sutcliffe was put in “isolation” after she showed up with her hair in cornrows.
Before the teen had her hair done while on vacation with her family in Turkey, Sutcliffe checked to confirm that the hairstyle was not listed as banned under the school’s dress code. When she returned to class, the teachers found that the style did violate the code because it was “extreme,” reports The Mirror….
Whoa. For the first time ever, a Victoria’s Secret model walked the runway with natural hair. Rather than bending to VS’s traditional beauty standards, 23-year-old Angolan model Maria Borges rocked the runway sans wig, weave or even extensions. For Borges, it was a history-making in a personal way.

What happened to Christina Grimmie (the singer who was shot dead at her own concert) infuriated me this morning. What the fuck is wrong with your government? Why can’t they see that THEIR FUCKING PATHETIC GUN LAWS ARE A PROBLEM?! This amazes me. Are they blind or smtg? I looked up this shit on the Internet and the data I’ve encountered is INFURIATING! “On an average day, 91 Americans are killed with guns.” LIKE EXCUSE ME?! 91. LIFE. ENDED. BECAUSE. OF. YALL!! “There are 12000 gun murders EVERY YEAR in the United States.” WHAT THE FUCK ?! HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE YALL OPEN YOUR EYES? “7 children or teens are killed with guns on an average day.” 7 FUCKING LIFE THAT HADNT EVEN REALLY STARTED YET. PER DAYS. DAYS!!! “AMERICA’S GUN MURDER RATE IS MORE THAN 25 TIMES THE AVERAGE OTHER DEVELOPED COUNTRY.” WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED TO SEE ITS FUCKED UP. CHANGE YOUR FUCKING LAWS. START PROTECTING YOUR CITIZEN. HOW ARE THEY EVER GONNA FEEL SAFE ANYWHERE IF YOU DONT DO SOMETHING??!! Oh and don’t give me the “guns don’t kill people, people do Etc” excuse CAUSE IF YOU DIDNT GIVE THOSE SAME PEOPLE THE MEANS TO END A LIFE SO EASILY, those gun murder rates wouldn’t be that high and some people would still be alive. GET YOURSELF TOGETHER AMERICA, YOU’RE KILLING YOUR OWN CITIZENS.

The Punishment
“Which room would you like to book ma’am?” The receptionist asked me.
“Um, room 304 please.” I said.
“Just a moment please.” Said the receptionist in rather fake but polite tone, “Here is your key, ma’am…enjoy your stay.”
“Thank you” I said and walked towards the elevators.
The elevator was about to close, when suddenly I saw someone holding the doors, so I could get in…how nice of him, I thought as I got in the elevator.
As I turned around to thank this nice gentleman, he was already staring at me.
Feeling kind of intimated, I said a short thank you and turned away. Oh well I thought, creepy people everywhere.
“Which floor?” he said with a husky voice.
Damn, I thought. “Umm 7th.”
“Oh same as mine..” He said silently.
It was an awkward elevator ride, but oh well, as if I am ever going to see him, I said with a small laugh, which was rather a louder one. Shit, why am I so weird I thought..
After the door opened, I rushed out so I didn’t have to deal with the awkwardness anymore.
“Wait” he said
I turned around and he handed me the key, which I didn’t even realize I had dropped.

❝ ‘Henry VII’s devout and rather awesome mother’, was the description the historian Neville Williams offered of Margaret Beaufort in his 1973 biography of the King. Both adjectives in this statement are true, but neither do full justice to the woman who forms the subject of this book. William’s assessment does, however, accurately summarize the way in which Margaret has often been portrayed: a religious fanatic who was obsessively ambitious on her son’s behalf and dominated his court, an image compounded by the effigy upon her tomb as well as the surviving portraits, which show her wearing widow’s weeds and a barbed wimple, on her knees in prayer. This is an image often conjured up when the name Margaret Beaufort is mentioned. Yet it is two-dimensional as the paintings themselves, frequently used as a convenient short-hand when relating the tales of the period. Margaret’s own story and her true character as a living, breathing woman are a far cry from such flat representations.Nicola Tallis, Uncrowned Queen: The Fateful Life of Margaret Beaufort, Tudor Matriarch.
