The Wonderful World of Fandoms

jojo siwa is like. her style is not my taste at all but as soon as other people call it annoying im like actually you're wrong she's an icon and a legend

she looks like the concentrated essence of a claires store and i do not mean this negatively

it’s the “fuck you” to the current trend of encouraging teenagers to look 24 and embracing girly things that cis men hate

American Kawaii

she looks like someone turned a Skittles commercial into a person and i love it

Goth and Punks we should stand in solidarity for or sisters in lace and sparkles

They controlled for socioeconomic factors though! The people who conducted this study knew that people with lots of money to attend the opera were also more likely to be able to afford basic necessities, so they controlled for it in their analysis. The fun thing about statistics is that you can control for different confounding factors so you can look at the effects of one independent variable (opera or whatever) on the dependent variable (mortality). Part of being critical of potential biases is actually reading the article and knowing what to look for.

Also, “Advocates said the study was also a reminder of how critical it is for the arts to be more accessible to Americans of all incomes.” Linking to the article so it’s easier for people to get to cos it’s a good read.

For example Frederick Douglas’ wife did so much for his ungrateful ass. She helped him get on his feet, gave him her last name, and supported him financially and took care of house and home. And in return was does this nigga do? He lets white abolitionists tear her down and treat her like a slave in HER HOUSE. Moved two bitches into HER HOUSE over a span of 20 years. Belittles her for being illiterate while using HER MONEY. Not even in death does she get the respect she deserves. His last wife is more recognized as being apart of his life than she was. Just trash. And y'all still normalize that shit as if it’s a black woman’s job to struggle. Fuck that.

^^^^ history left her out of his story too. Claiming his parents have him money to start up when it was her.

Don’t forget MLK and Malcolm X

My heart broke a little but I’m not surprised. What did Malcolm do ?

I don’t know about Malcolm X, but I know that Martin Luther King was in love with a white caferteria lady name Betty that he was seeing while he was attending college. The only reason why he married Coretta and not the cafeteria worker is because his dad frowned upon it. Not only that but his best friend Ralph Abernathy and Jackie Onassis exposed him for being a sex craved phony that loved cheating on Coretta. I guarantee that if black women from the civil rights era could talk now, our heads would explode. 

Let’s not forget Black Panther’s leader Eldridge Cleaver and his famous book “Soul On Ice” where he recounts how he practiced raping black women because he knew no one would care and when he “mastered his craft” he starting raping white women. Also let’s never forget that he said that there is no more love left between black women and men and that everytime he embraces a black woman, he embraces slavery. Y’all gon’ get this history lesson today!

Wow… and somehow I’m not even surprised.

I knew all of that. Martin was constantly cheating with white prostitutes even a German exchange student while protesting civil right. Cleaver was the worst. Preying on and raping young black girls in the hood as practice for raping white women. Claudette is still referenced as “the other rosa parks” when the light bright brigade “NAACP” weren’t gonna let her share her story to begin with.

Let this post never die. Black women were NEVER respected back in the day, and we’re STILL getting disrespected every minute.

Wow….

[reasons why I think most Black dudes r performative when it comes to being *proBlack* n only know how to mirror yt ally theater/chase yt validation. n nonBlack ppl better back the fuck off this post and start combatting the antiBlackness before they even think of comment.]

Just a reminder that Claudette Colvin didn’t get pregnant until 3 months after refusing her seat on the bus. She was a poor dark skinned girl. In her words “they wanted someone PEOPLE would sympathize with and I didn’t look like that.” Colorism AND Classism waaaay before Instagram 🙂

That white woman ain’t got nothing to do with this. We’re talking about black women’s treatment here.

How dare you bring Patricia Arquettes white feminist ass on a post about the treatment of Black Women

unfortunately there are no known or publicly available pictures of Regina Davis or Kathleen Smith

what type of sorcery is this thread….not claiming none of this is a perspective worth understanding but Black women…when you openly shame your men like this, it will be used to not only justify harming our men and boys as we constantly see, but YOU are also a target because you’re claiming to your enemy that you don’t make efficient men in your womb which means YOU’RE ALSO WORTHLESS!!! 

God the hotepery in that second to last comment!! 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ I knew about half of these. I’ve never heard anything about Malcolm (post NoI) but I did know about King and Belafonte. And then I learned something new! Whew. And my parents get mad when I say “the movement has to be intersectional” in response to “women are the reason black people can’t move forward”…..as if we don’t make up half the movement -_-

this reminds of that posts going around telling non-blacks to center black men in BLM converations. Black men have always been the center of those conversations, I don’t know why that post even had to be made. 

Female HP Lovecraft

Just started imagining a Necromancer using their magic to create undead for the sole purpose of creating a musical number and they need back up dancers for their song solo.

Ah yes, the necromancer subclass: necrodancer

The dead are infused with insatiable grooves

interesting how this has become a meme in the music industry about divas. i’ve always heard jokes that amount to “this stuck up celebrity hates the green gummy bears!! they’re refusing to perform just for that???” and its reading stuff like this that i realise how that joke might have come about. people get grumpy that the band refuses to play but cant admit its because THEY’RE incompetent, so they make it all about the M&Ms. another example of artists using a creative method to ensure they have a perfectly reasonable request fulfilled that is then bastardised by lazy people who wanna make money off them. 

…this is like the music industry version of hearing the truth behind the McDonalds hot coffee lawsuit

I’d have to wait months or even years for another chance to reblog this, so why the fuck not?

HAPPY THURSDAY THE 20TH EVERYONE

Wow Ive seen that whole list go buy. Ive been on the hell site too long…

Everyone adding “but i DO have more self control than a fat person!!” is a self righteous piece of shit who 1) knows literally nothing about fat science and 2) has been blocked. Fat people deserve respect. You have not earned the privilege you have over fat people; it’s been given to you by an unfair hierarchical society and you fuckers walking around thinking it’s a meritocracy so you can feel special need to get a fucking clue.

Yes, this applies to fat people who aren’t trying to lose weight!! And fat people who eat more food than you do!! You are not better than them and acting like you are just makes you an ass.
