I agree

you laugh but this was the plot of full metal alchemist

Excuse me??

This is how slaves brought over the peanut plant!

Last year, I took a class called History of the African-American Spirit. One of the things I learned about is black people’s hairstyles (especially cornrows) during slavery. They were more than just hairstyles and creative ways to store food. They were also used to create maps. Black slaves would use these maps to escape plantations and their captors.

Okay I never knew this! 🙌🏾

I’d read about certain crops being potentially brought over from Africa to the Americans via seeds in captured slaves’ hair, but I hadn’t known how simple and subtle the hairstyle could be.

That’s pretty goddamn amazing

What’d K-pop Twitter do?

Dallas PD set up this app to submit videos of “rioters” and kpop people just sent live-streams of them dancing until the servers crashed

Okay, very begrudging critical support for the K-pop stans

Reblogging this with a note NOT TO DO THIS with federal agencies like the FBI- They have all the traffic cams and info they need, what they are after is your personal information (check what the FBI “workout” apps can access on your phone, for example, it’s bonkers and simply a trick to access your personal data). Use good judgement, be safe.

okay i just realized they meant "fascist" and not atleast 2 other words i can think of that are funnier

I was corrected on Twitter by someone from the community — they’re actually Old Order Mennonites! Although they follow that ‘plain living’ doctrine that the Amish do, they also carefully allow technology into their communities. Televisions are one of the few pieces of modern tech that’s allowed in certain Mennonite sects. The Mennonites and Quakers are no nonsense when it comes to oppression of any kind. Google more about them and you’ll quickly find out that it’s no surprise they showed up. They always show up.

after hurricane sandy, mennonites came through Far Rockaway, NY and rebuilt houses and Black churches that were devastated for free, the ones i’ve met have always been down to do real work for the cause

we need to start gatekeeping crackheads

You don't have a "crackhead" girlfriend you're just dating a weeb who calls herself "chaotic evil"

my brother has been criticizing me all day and he told me if i wasn’t happy i could go somewhere else so i wouldn’t ruin everyone else’s dinner so i took the massive bowl of pasta + special sauce i spent the last 2 hours making from scratch for the whole family and i left

it really is incredibly bold to mercilessly criticize the person who is not only making your dinner but also holding a knife

I sequestered myself in the other side of the house and ate my family-sized pasta from a mixing bowl using a serving spoon in the dark because the sun went down in the 2+ hours I spent stewing and I was too stubborn to turn on a light

the only person I shared my pasta with was my dad who on a conference call at the time and didn’t just stand there and watch my brother be an asshole like the rest of my family and since he came to me in my sanctuary with his bowl and asked nicely if he could have some pasta i did share with him

sometimes you’re an adult who has been quarantined with your parents, younger siblings, grandfather, and dog for the last 2 months because of a global pandemic and some nights you just have to take your pasta and Leave because you are an adult who knows when to tap the fuck out

OP thank you not only for the amazing image of you eating pasta in the dark and your father kindly pleading for your mercy but also a wonderful example of when to set firm boundaries and prioritize yourself bless u

…WHAT THE FUCK

I am plagued by this but also that associative learning makes it really easy to be a hyper-generalist in terms of skills and knowledge.

This is how my brain works….
