God damn her hair is adorable.

I made this for every little black girl, all of which deserve to be the princess.

You ARE the princess, honey. Don’t let anybody lie to you. Please share this, and show your daughters that black girls are loved and perfect.

HERE IS MY PERSONALITY TYPE RESULTS: If anyone is to be found spontaneously breaking into song and dance, it is the ESFP personality type. ESFPs get caught up in the excitement of the moment, and want everyone else to feel that way, too. No other personality type is as generous with their time and energy as ESFPs when it comes to encouraging others, and no other personality type does it with such irresistible style.

What the fucks happening in Ferguson?

Alright, i’m gonna sit down and basically explain the situation in this ask so everyone of my followers knows why i’m so pissed.

Michael Brown, a 17 - 18 year old african american boy was unlawfully shot (8-10 times supposedly) by police in St Louis, Missouri on saturday, august 9th, 2014. He was unarmed, and had done nothing to attract suspicion other than the fact that he was black. His body was left in the street for 4 hours. (beware: somewhat graphic image linked)

There are several claims from witnesses (see: Dorian Johnson’s account and video [HIGHLY RECOMMEND READING UP ON HIS ACCOUNT, ITS VERY SPECIFIC] — Brown’s friend who experienced the situation first hand, La’Toya Cash and Phillip Walker— Ferguson residents nearby the incident),  that fall together in generally close claims. However, the only one who’s claim seems out of place is the police officer’s who shot Brown. Who, by the way, is put off on paid administrative leave AND who’s name remained under anonymity for his safety (However, attorney Benjamin Crump is looking for a way to force release his name). He claims that Brown began to wrestle the officer for his gun and tried attacking him after he told Brown and his friend Dorian Johnson (22) to “get the f*ck on the sidewalk”.

According to Johnson, after a minor confrontation on the officer’s part where he grabbed Brown by the neck and then by the shirt, the officer pulled his gun on Brown and shot him at point blank range on the right side of his body. Brown and Johnson were able to get away briefly and started running. However, Brown was shot in the back, supposedly disabling him from getting very far. He turned around with his arms in the air and said “I don’t have a gun, stop shooting!” By this point, Brown and the officer were face to face as the cop shot him several times in the face and chest until he was finally dead. Johnson ran to his apartment and by the sound of his account, seemingly had some sort of panic attack. Later he emerged from his home to see Brown still laying in the streets. People were gathered with their cellphones, screaming at the police.

According to msnbc, the police refuse to interview Johnson at all, despite his amazing courage to come forward. They didn’t wanna hear it. They only listened to the cop’s account of it all and were vague with the media on what they thought happened. They’ve also refused to commit to a timeline in releasing autopsy results and other investigation information.

Numerous rumors are sweeping around such as Brown stealing candy from a QuickTrip, the store he emerged from calling the cops on him, Brown reaching for a gun, Brown attacking the cop first, ect. But these have all been debunked. (I know a lot of these have been debunked, but im having a hard time finding sources. if anyone could help out and link some legit ones id be SO grateful)

The event in and of itself was terrible, but now it has escalated beyond belief. Around 100 or more people, mostly black, went to the police station to protest peacefully. Things quickly turned bad as martial law got involved and authorities were bringing in K9s, tanks, heavy artillery, ect. The heavy police presence only made things worse as riots began to break out and looting and vandalism started. [ x ] [ x ] [ x ]

Now, as of very recently, the media has been banned from Ferguson. There is also a No-Fly zone above Ferguson for the reason of “ TO PROVIDE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES ” as said on the Federal Aviation Commission’s website. Cop cars are lined up on the borders to prevent people from entering/leaving. Media outlets are being threatened with arrest. It completely violates our amendments and everything.

It’s becoming increasingly scary and difficult to find out whats going on over there. I’m afraid this is all the information I have, though. If anybody else knows anything about the situation, please feel free to add on or correct any mistakes i’ve made as i’m no expert on writing these things.

And as a personal favor, i’d really appreciate anyone to give this a reblog in order to spread the word. I think it’s a shame that this is going on in our own country yet so few people know about it. Help me make this topic huge and get this as much attention as possible.

I wanted to let you know, you must be my soul sister, literally. I feel like parts of your story could be my own. This is exactly how I felt/feel about Roller Derby and life. Sometimes I still feel fear making decisions for me, clearly I'm still a work in progress. Everybody is different, but I can almost guarantee you are not going to regret giving it a shot. If you give derby 110% of your effort, I guarantee you are going to progress in leaps and bounds. And I promise that's all they are looking for, somebody that's going put in the effort and work for it. They aren't expecting perfection, atleast not now. Nothing in Derby or life ever comes easy, but it sure is sweet when your hard work pays off. Six months in, and a bazillion practices later, I finally received my call up to the front lines. I was so proud of myself. And though I don't know you, I'm proud of you for taking the first step, it sure is a doozy.

I can count on one hand how many times I’ve had a pair of roller skates strapped to my feet. If you want a visual of what I looked like the last time I attempted skating at the local roller rink, picture Bambi on ice… but less endearing. I have the athletic endurance of a hippo with asthma, and...

The lone survivor of the Disney apocalypse.

We stayed for Magic Hours at The Magic Kingdom on Sunday. I decided to start a photo project showcasing what the park might look like if I were the only guest. It sounds like a dream come true to some but the photos turned out a lot more sullen and lonely than I expected.

I’m calling it:

“The Loneliest Place on Earth”

If you are interested in stories with happy endings, you would be better off reading some other book. In this book, not only is there no happy ending, there is no happy beginning, and very few happy things in the middle. This is because not very many happy things happened in the lives of the three children of Húrin. Túrin, Lalaith, and Niënor were intelligent, they were charming, and they were resourceful, but they were extremely unlucky and almost everything that happened to them was rife with misfortune, misery, and despair. I am sorry to tell you this, but this is how the story goes.

How the Children of Húrin should have started,  (via paradife-loft)

Isnt the original concept from the intro to a Series of Unfortunate Events? Just trying to remember where I’ve seen this.

I picked them up from the library, much preferable to buying it.

I'm purchasing books today. What books shall I buy?

I bought 50 shades of grey, but I’m not sure on whether I should buy the other parts… What do you guys think?
