I hate seeing white people go to protests and emphasize how “peaceful” they are. It’s like, “these Blacks knew how to behave, unlike the other ones.” If you’re not Black, don’t comment on how Black people are fighting against white supremacy.

I'm going to start a website called News for People With Anxiety that gently gives you the news but also all the reasons why you shouldn't panic and ways you can productively help. Also a strong balance of wholesome, nonstressful content.

“Guys don’t express their feelings because showing love is for sissies—” look buddy, if Aragorn son of Arathorn, heir to the throne of Gondor can tenderly kiss Boromir on the head, then what’s stopping you from being affectionate?

@TrishaLea84 I'm doing well! I had a gastric bypass so I'm on an all-liquid diet currently which is the only bummer so far.

[Rahel Baskind @BaskindRahel]
