Awkward Black Girl Season 2 Trailer

Pharrell…Like..I wish I had an awkward moment with him. Just once (God what am I wishing for?!)
Via Creations from a young mind♥
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath…

“Dr. King’s policy was that non-violence would achieve the gains for black people in the United States. His main assumption was that if you were non-violent, if you suffer, your opponent will see your suffering and will be moved to change his heart. That’s very good. He only made one fallacious assumption. In order for nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience.” -Stokley Carmichael
This is the most obvious thing in the world, but I never thought about it that way until now. Yet another reason for me to question non-violence in certain contexts…
MOST BEAUTIFUL FUCKING QUOTE EVER.

And Haidt is talking about politics, or liberalism, in the way it’s commonly defined by the sort of liberal rich people who make up the majority of the media elite and the Hollywood elite and even the (more libertarian) Silicon Valley elite: “social liberalism.” He is talking about moral issues, and while economic issues are also moral, he does not mention social justice or economic redistributionism.
Because TED is for, and by, unbelievably rich people, they tiptoe around questions of the justness of a society that rewards TED attendees so much for what usually amounts to a series of lucky breaks.

The people at Davos and in Aspen also think they’re saving the world, and the majority of them are also deeply involved in making it much worse for people who can’t afford to go to Davos and Aspen. It is no wonder at all that a talk on how their voluntary charity can better the lives of the unwashed is received with much more enthusiasm than one on how a better use for their money would be for them to have much less of it and everyone else a little more.

I really don’t give a shit about TED, but reading a truly glorious Alex Pareene takedown can always lighten my mood a bit.

this. i never got into TED talks for all of the above, pretty much. and the whole project seemed to be unnecessarily proud of itself to the point of smugness, and over what exactly i could never be sure. getting a person in a room to make a talk? ok………..and?

my love of accessories that double as weapons stems from my love of Sailor Moon when I was a kid.
About me
24, leo, grad student in History of Black Education living in Atlanta. One of the most revolutionary things we can do is live our truths without shame. I try my best to do just that and always willing to "follow" anyone else doing the same. My favorite themes are black history, poc, plus size fashion, natural hair, marginalized identities, real people, sillyness, x-men, scrabble, the colors red and orange, and the number 2. Out of all the Amber Jones' in the world, I'm the Amber Jonesiest
