People keep asking others, “why are you so upset, you weren’t there, and Ariana walked away fine.” One of the survivors of the attack contributed to this article that highlights why we all are grieving the 22 young people who lost their lives: — “…fans worldwide are congregating on forums, hosting vigils, editing together tribute videos on YouTube and direct-messaging each other on Twitter to get through their grief – because, with a fandom as intense and loving as this one, an attack on some of Ariana’s fans is an attack on all of them. These are young people all over the world who are hurting because they ‘lost 22 members of our family the other night, too soon’…The Ariana Grande fan base, you have to understand, is a family…‘The support I’ve gotten from other Arianators is amazing and it’s helping me to get through this. Also, it’s helping me to get through depression and other mental health issues.’” Rest in peace the 22 little angels. Survivors of the attack, people who watched from their television screens, and the entire Ariana fan base, it’s okay for you to be grieving too. Your feelings are valid and if you are feeling alone please reach out for support.

I love how Eurovision is always a week after the Met Gala so random european singers put every single american celebrity to shame by wearing cooler clothes with 1/10 of the budget
About an hour ago, I was in Walmart looking for my conditioner because today is wash day for my hair. As I’m looking for my product, this older white lady approaches me and she says, “Excuse me, miss. Please don’t be offended by this.” And usually when white people tell me not to be offended, 9 times out of 10, whatever they are about to say is going to be offensive af.
Anyway, she follows it up with, “My husband and I just recently won our custody battle with our foster daughter and she means the world to us. She’s a beautiful African American girl and her hair looks a lot like yours. But I’m afraid because I don’t know what to do with her hair. It’s a lot different from mines and our other children and we are at a total loss. I’ve tried looking up the YouTube videos and my husband went to the braiding shops so they can teach him how to properly braid her hair, but he’s still pretty new and it will be a while before he gets used to it. Do you have any tips you can give me? If you don’t have the time, it’s okay, really! I just needed a little advice because I want her to look beautiful.”
Y’all. swear I almost started crying on aisle 6. So for the last 30 minutes, I spent my time talking to her and what products to use and how to properly detangle and comb her hair with the proper tools and what not to do with natural hair. And I showed her a bunch of easier to follow natural hair tutorials on YouTube and saved them for her. (I also had to create a YouTube account for her so she could save it for later.) but omfg, she was so sweet, and I could tell that she listened to every single thing I had to say and she took little notes on her little notepad.
And what really filled my heart was the fact that her husband actually taking classes from African braiding shops. And she showed me a picture of him wearing a little sweater vest and loafers in a little shop surrounded by beautiful black women showing him how to braid black hair and even the lady he’s braiding on is guiding his hands. And omfg. Bless these old white people and their black daughter who I know have new loving parents because they are willing to step out of their comfort zone just to make her feel and look beautiful.
I really hope our paths cross again one day, Mrs Cicilia. 💖💕
forever, girls’ generation
What was Danny glovers important thing????
Alright.
So, there was a scene where Peter Parker was looking for Donald Glover’s character. He asked Karen, his suit, to bring up the stats. If you saw, it was revealed that Glover’s character’s name is Aaron Davis. In the comics, Aaron Davis and his brother, Jefferson Davis, were a crime duo. They would do burglaries and stuff like that. But then Jefferson fell in love and left that lifestyle behind. Meanwhile, Aaron continued. In the movie, when Spidey is talking to Aaron, he tells Spidey that he has a “nephew” that he wants to protect. This means that Jefferson and his wife already had the kid. Now, who is that wife? Rio Morales. And who is the kid? Miles….Morales. Donald Glover plays Miles Morales’ uncle who will end up becoming a supervillain by the name of the Prowler. The Prowler ends up being the first supervillain that Spider-Man Miles Morales fights. :) Pretty nifty reference, huh?
So Miles MCU confirmed by Donald Glover
