250 years and most native tribal groups continue to not be federally recognized. Embarrassing!

before you're ever good at something, you must allow yourself to be a beginner at that thing first. if you try something for the first time, chances are that you're gonna suck at it. but the beautiful thing about being a beginner is that you don't have to be a beginner forever — if you don't let the way you think "the first time I tried something, it turned out terrible" discourage you from mastering your crafts, you'll keep getting better and better. and the best thing about practicing is that you never stop getting better, there's no point you can ever reach the point where you can never be better anymore. as long as you're still alive and as long as you keep doing it, you'll only get better. you'll go from a beginner to a skilled expert and even when you're a skilled expert now, there's always more room for you to grow and be better, as long as you keep doing it. and it all starts at being a beginner and being suck at it first. there's something very humbling and beautiful about being a beginner and being suck at something ♡

love when im playing Ace Attorney and i have no idea wtf going on and Phoenix pulls out some “actually 😏 i have the evidence here 📄 to prove you commit the crime ☝️” and im like fuck we do?

yes im addicted to attention and orgasms and food and shiny jewlery and 7$ Iced Lattes. does that really not sound like an awesome lifestyle to you

here's a trick for getting this stain out. did you know you can make that dish in batches and it freezes great? that's actually really easy to fix, you only need a screwdriver and a replacement hinge. I can show you if you want. I can't buy you a new one, but maybe this will help. maybe the info will serve you one day. most people don't realize you can ask for a discount on those types of purchases, did you know? here's how I would try. maybe this will save you a little money. I don't have anything else to offer you. I hope it's enough. it's not much, but this'll balance the flavor and make cheap taste fantastic, it's crazy right? I wish I had more to give you. I've heard of that before, here's what someone I know tried. maybe that'll save you some time and worry. you can buy that part and do it yourself, let me take a look. here's what I would do. let's give it a shot. it's ugly, but it works. I hope that fixes it. I hope I made things easier for you.

can you hear the "I love you" between every sentence? if you listen closely, it's repeating over and over and over, every time you keep trying, owing your life a thousand times over to the ones who came before, to the ones surviving alongside you. keep trying, I love you, I hope this helps, I love you, we'll find a way, i love you. in the heartbeats of silence, I love you. there's nothing else I can give you, I love you. this is all I have. I love you.

Happy 4th of July from Lisa Simpson!!! 👏 👏 👏

sorry america but you’ve been really mean. and I don’t want to go to your birthday party in two days

so this post has blown up; turns out a lot of people feel the same way I do. If you're feeling conflicted or upset over 4th of July, I've compiled a list of educational resources and charities, both regarding US and international issues, which you can look into if you'd like. Issues here include humanitarian aid to Gaza, Ukraine, and the Caribbean, as well as reproductive, LGBT, BIPOC, and disability rights in the US.
