Another Britcom Meme For Y'all

*school bell rings*

*runs out of class screaming*

Me:SO LONG AND GOODNIGHT!

Two years?! I’m in!

I walked into the living room and went “AZIRAPHALE!!!!!!!”

this is your reminder not to accept crumbles of affection. if someone isn't willing to give you time, safety, love and comfort, do not beg for it. do not shrink your needs to make them stay. let them go! there are people out there who will freely and enthusiastically want you for you.

Oh my God, THAT’S SO COOL!!!!

For people who still don’t see anything wrong with cultural appropriation, who still call cornrows “boxer braids”, “Kim K braids” or whatever - our cornrows symbolize liberation and freedom, it’s not your trendy hairstyle, it actually does have a history.

Since slaves were never taught to write and drawing directions was dangerous, because they could lead to them being discovered, captured, sold again or even killed by their master.

To reduce the risk of being discovered, women started weaving the maps in their hair, carving out paths with their cornrows. Some of the patterns even had hidden messages!

Yes, braiding existed in Africa way before, but it got a whole new meaning when Europeans enslaved millions of people. So next time you decide to go for a “Kim K look”, do a little research before you end up disrespecting someone’s culture and just, in all honesty, looking silly.
