“What was she like?” My mother asked trying not to pry to much but always failing.
“Beautiful”
“Beautiful was she?” she said.
“Yes. Absolutely beautiful.”
“But I wouldn’t describe her as strictly beautiful. Cause well she more than beautiful. She was funny, smart, down to earth, rewarding, thoughtful and beautiful. She was every nice word in the dictionary. Admiring, charismatic, appealing and down right unforgettable once you knew her. Even if you didn’t know her she was unforgettable cause even if you talked to her for 5 minutes while waiting in line for coffee it felt like talking to an old friend. So yeah… she was beautiful or gorgeous. Whatever word you choose to your liking. But she was never just strictly beautiful.”
“So what do you call her then? What do you call her if she is every good thing that’s happened to you.” My mother asked.
“Extraordinary. She was extraordinary”
Love, heartbreak & everything in between. (via promisesofamazing)

It’s…just…so….beautiful!!! Also, the way at least one member of #BlackGaySlay stood up for himself in response to a homophobic bully is seriously inspiring. His clapback has received 106,000 likes and nearly 40,000 retweets.
White nationalists are posting “Imagine a Muslim-Free America” fliers on college campuses
Anti-Muslim fliers affiliated with the American Vanguard, a white nationalist organization, have appeared on college campuses nationwide.
Students from the University of Texas at Austin, University of Central Florida and Rutgers University tweeted photos of a flier reading “Imagine A Muslim-Free America.“
The flier was in black and white with a silhouette of the Twin Towers depicted in the background. American Vanguard’s Texas group has taken credit for the posters at UT Austin.
The University of Texas at Austin released a statement on Tumblr notifying students that the fliers were removed since it was defacing the campus property.
Sarah Khan, a senior at the University of Texas, expressed frustration at the university’s response, noting that it did not explicitly condemn the fliers nor did it offer support or resources to students who felt affected by the incident. Read more (2/14/17 12:45 PM)
It has begun: Paul Ryan has started the process to defund Planned Parenthood (which already gets $0 for abortion, so…WHY???)
