Fun fact: Most “cowboys” were Black men, their white counterparts were called “cattlemen” the term “cowboy” comes from when “boy” was used as a racial epithet for Black men. Over time this original meaning got lost & cowboys got white washed.
I don’t want my daughter to be like me. I want her to speak up sooner. Walk away faster. Trust herself deeper. Apologize less. Take up more space. Ask bigger questions. Dream louder. And if that means she becomes everything I wasnt… GOOD!
Community died when mothers started telling people they weren’t allowed to correct children’s behaviors. Nobody wants to watch your undisciplined child that starts screaming when they are told no.
Don’t forget David Bradley’s performance. People always praise Arya (Maisie Williams) for that iconic scene, but David Bradley deserves just as much credit. He made Walder Frey one of the most despicable characters in the series, yet he delivered Arya’s revenge speech with such chilling precision that it genuinely felt like Arya was speaking through him. 🥀
So you mean to tell me that someone down your ancestry line survived being chaıned to other human bodięs for several months in the bottom of a disease-infested ship during the Middle Passage, lost their language, customs and traditions, picked up the English language as best they could while working free of charge from sun up to sun down as they watched babies sold from out of their arms and women rapęd by ruthless sIave owners.
Took names with no last names, no birth certificates, no heritage of any kind, braved the Underground Railroad, survived the Civil Wąr to enter into sharecropping... Learned to read and write out of sheer will and determination, faced the burning crosses of the KƘK, everted their eyes at the black bodies swinging from ropes hųng on trees...
Fought in World Wąrs as soldiers only to return to America as boys, marched in Birmingham, hosed in Selma, jailed in Wilmington, assassinated in Memphis, segregated in the South, ghettoed in the North, ignored in history books, stereotyped in Hollywood...
and in spite of it all, someone in your family line endured every era to make sure you would get here, but you receive one rejection, face one obstacle, lose one friend, get overlooked, and you want to quit?
How dare you entertain the very thought of quitting. People, you will never know survived from generation to generation so you could succeed. Don’t you dare let them down!
It is NOT in our DNA to quit!
I’d drop Bravo like a bad habit SO FAST if they ever add Yandy to Real Housewives of Atlanta. I’m so serious. She’s a liar and performative in the worst ways.
Emma como Rhaenyra es increíble. Acaba de asesinar por primera vez, de ahí el llanto, sumado a que finalmente tiene el trono, pero cuando Alicent la juzga, su rostro cambia paulatinamente hasta mostrar el orgullo del Dragón.
MI REINA
rhaenyra lost her daughter and her two sons in just a few weeks because some people couldn't stand seeing a woman on the throne. EVERYTHING SHE DOES IS VALID, WARRANTED, LEGITIMATE, JUSTIFIABLE, FIGHT ME!!!!!!
