it adds so much mystery and aliferous to the world. Knowing they’re up there is a good sign

It’s really nice to see black celebs and athletes actually show their support for the community, rather than sparing a few words about it.

tl;dr - Redditor whining about being friendzoned gets politely told.

It just kicked the everloving shit out of the duck for threatening you, and wishes you a good, creative day. You are Safe Now.

idea eggs will be plentiful for you because the world is a vast and fascinating source of ideas and you don’t need luck or blog voodoo to have them for breakfast every morning

- Jane Elliot on the Oprah Winfrey Show panel on racism in 1992.

Nobody becomes “not racist” by repeatedly declaring “But hey, I’M not racist” on social media. Becoming “not racist” is defined by conscious choice, coupled with actions—like listening to black people, calling out racism, and not saying or doing racist things—that prove you aren’t racist. Being “not racist” is something that needs to be worked on CONSTANTLY.
