#SeaSexion though?? Really??

I heard water births were less painful.

Because you’ve run out of silver tequila.

Daisy Bates (1914 - 1999)

The driving force behind Daisy Bates activism was the rape and murder of her mother by three white men. Her mothers body was found by some young men who were fishing on the lake where the body was tossed.

Just over 50 years ago, a rock shattered the picture window of a light-brick house in Little Rock, Ark.

A note was tied to it that read: “Stone this time. Dynamite next.”

The house belonged to Daisy and L.C. Bates.

The couple led efforts to end segregation in Arkansas — on buses, in libraries and in the public schools.

On Monday, the nation will mark 50 years since black students integrated Central High School in Little Rock.

“Mrs. Bates was the person for the moment,” says Annie Abrams, a friend of Daisy Bates who was one of many black residents active at the time of the crisis.

“Daisy Bates was the poster child of black resistance. She was a quarterback, the coach. We were the players,” says Ernest Green, one of the Little Rock Nine, the group of students who integrated Central High School.

“She was conditioned to know that the civil rights movement was moving forward,” Sybil Jordan Hampton, one of the first African American students to graduate from Central High, says. Daisy Bates helped drive the movement in Little Rock.

I hear her name. Now her story. Thank you Daisy Bates.

My hair and i are in a complicated relationship at the moment. We’re just trying to see to see if we can make it work.

Because this is my life story as I sit with the conditioner cap on my head preparing for my sew in Thursday. Yes Lawd.

Even at the black college in Virginia that I attended. No DeWayne Waynes. Or Rons.

Women who don’t get it (via detective-alchemist)

don’t get what? Friendship? Courtship? The idea that me intrusting you with my private thoughts and fears and quality time does not equate to you suddenly being awarded my panties? what?

But. I like sex. With men. Yes. Lots of sexs with the men.
