An English person: E-

Me: Aren’t you from that country that’s planning to build a motorist’s tunnel under Stonehenge? Y’know? The fragile 5000/4000 year old Neolithic World Heritage Site? The place that yearly sees more than 800000 tourists? A site containing ancient human remains? The monument constructed by your ancestors painstakingly rolling 25 ton stone slabs across great distances employing no beasts of burden? Aren’t you guys trying to build a tunnel under that?

While this whole sea shanty trend is still happening maybe we should try out some unions songs too 😳 like maybe we could get people really into Sixteen Tons or Casey Jones 👉👈or maybe even Which Side Are You On🥺 just a thought no reason just think it would be a fun and silly trend for us to do

I know this is going to make me sound pretensions but I have to get it off my chest. I feel an unimaginable rage when someone posts a photo and is like "this picture looks like a renaissance painting lol" when the photo clearly has the lighting, colors and composition of a baroque or romantic painting. There are differences in these styles and those differences are important and labeling every "classical" looking painting as renaissance is annoying and upsetting to me. And anytime I come across one of those posts I have to put down my phone and go take a walk because they make me so mad

I’ve been reading about werewolves on Wikipedia and I just have to say. “Werewolves are warriors that descend into hell to fight demons” kicks unbelievable amounts of ass as a concept

#thank you herr thiess #you amazing 80 year old man #you probably saved us all

For the last time! The Natural Hair Movement was made by Black women for Black women! If you are not Black start a movement of your own! Then let's clear something else up. The NHM was made for type 4-3c hair. That's not to say other Black women can't be involved. You can, just remember why it was started in the first place. But anyways, as I was saying....If you are white or a nb POC the NHM is not for you. White women stop posting in the natural hair tag. I'm tired of seeing straight hair or hair that's wavy when I go through the tag. If you wanna argue I'm bout to dead all that noise right now.

To this day we are discriminated against and even racially profiled for our hair. We lose jobs and even get kicked out of school for something that shouldn't even matter. The day you have to get a law made for you to wear your hair the way it grows out of your head or if any of this happens to you, which will never happen, then you can hit me up. Until then sit down somewhere and be quiet.

I would also like to add that this is not an American issue. Just like racism, this is a world issue. Kids in Africa can't even go to school without being sent home for their hair being "distracting" or "unpresentable". Before you try to make up excuses do research.

I would also like to add these because they are just as important as the others.

white historians will learn about the ancient greeks practicing human sacrifice and agamemnon sacrificing his own daughter iphigenia to please the gods in the iliad and go 'oh how tragic!' but still think the culture and people have value, and then hear about the aztecs engaging in the exact same thing and go 'those are savage cruel subhumans whose culture us foreign and mysterious and scary' and erase mesoamerican societies from human history/ entirely ignore them as though they have no value, like at least keep your supposed ethical stances consistent

These pretty much sum up my feelings about there being no charges against those that took Breonna Taylor’s life.
