THEY JUST MADE A BANANA INTO A SPACE BAR
At first I didn’t understand
But now I do.
I feel like I’ve done absolutely nothing with my life.
Also I need this. For reasons.
Amazing, for real!
YES PLEASE.

The Power of Tumblr. The Beauty of Strangers.
detroitsomething:
My name is Ray Stoeser. I am a high school teacher living and working in Detroit. Below is a testament to the power of Tumblr and social networking. Most importantly it is about how 554 complete strangers helped change the lives of my Detroit students.

People keep posting about how Pokemon was their childhood.
IIRC, Pokemon didn’t come out until I was like 17.
Holy crap I’m old.
Right? I mean Pokemon came out in my teens so I guess that could count but still, really?

PSA: OLD BRAS

If you have old bras that you don’t want anymore but are in good shape, donate them! Bras are one of the least donated and most needed items at domestic violence shelters across the US. Look up a local shelter and ask them if they’re accepting bra donations, and if they’re not, ask them who is! Check with homeless shelters and other charities!
Every year, the...

Detroit
My ride, Wilma, and I were stopped at Port Huron, where I was told, at last, that no, I need a new visa, and this is why my post-grad work permit application was rejected. Of course no one bothered to tell me this when I kept on inquiring: the Canadian High Commission in Malaysia told me that I didn’t need a new visa, and anyway they couldn’t issue me one without a new permit of some...

taking a day off does not automatically mean you’re taking a self-care day.
if the energy spent on that day off is negative, and if you spend the time beating yourself up about taking the day off, and if there isn’t active energy spent on taking care of yourself and building your self-love, it’s not a self-care day.

Only five days left to support youth media makers in Detroit! THey need to hit $5,000—they’ve already raised $1,485!

Darn, was supposed to get home by tonight. Some of ya’ll know my ride’s allergies got the worse of her last night, and today she’s better but tired from lack of sleep. We’re only four hours away from Hamilton but thought it’d be better to catch a motel right after Flint.
After that I can be a hermit from the rest of the world all I like! \o/

How does anyone manage to maintain a pokerface through this? This man has magical pokerface skills!
Sesame Street was awesome. And that is Patrick Stewart… he does kick ass
Yeah, I’m aware who he is. That still does not explain the magic of his pokerface skills!!!! Actors, dammit! How do they do it?
Thank you for existing, Patrick...

I’m so happy to see this and I fully support them. I stopped doing yoga — as much as it was benefitting me physically — because it started feeling really disrespectful to just be using it for exercise when I knew it was part of a...

My white skin does not make me the oppressor. I wasn’t the one who colonized Africa. I never bought and sold African-Americans in slavery. I never opposed integration, or worked against the civil rights movement. Oh, but other people of my skin color did, and so suddenly it’s on me?
No.

Respecting where people come from and what belongs to them.
