You know when dogs sit outside with their face turned towards the sun and their eyes closed and they look so relaxed and when you pet them they’re warm that’s how I want to feel always

There is literally nothing in nature that blooms all year long, so do not expect yourself to do so.

Ok but where is this from

Her name’s Marianne, she’s a Samburu woman and the Supalake village chairlady. It’s from The Land of No Men: Inside Kenya’s Women-Only Village and that convo is at 22:16, but the entire video is awesome!

i hate applying for jobs because the employers are always like: do you enjoy working in a stressful environment???? do you strive for unobtainable standards of perfection???? are you good at dealing with people that make you feel extremely uncomfortable??? do you mind losing real hours of your life in order to make minimum wage?? are you a fan of capitalism??? do you love selling your soul just so you can afford to live???

this is tight

Just in case you didn’t know.

I fell in love with these women at Howard. There’s sooo many more women that made major impact in our lives but do not get the proper recognition

do you ever sit and think about your female ancestors and like how many of them endured forced marriages, sexual abuse, physical violence and complete deprivation of education and autonomy and suffered silently for literally centuries. going through pregnancies and child birth without modern medicine, having multiple children and watching most of them die before the age of five because that was just the way of life back then? and ultimately you are a product of their pain? i think about them a lot and then i think about how many women continue to share their reality in this current year
