[Elijah Rutland @fixmysole]

I drew the “Black Rolf” meme thinking it would be a funny joke for me and my artist friends and I never expected it to turn into a viral meme. What’s for you will always be for you no matter what👌🏾
Here’s the @BuzzFeedNews article about me and the meme

bell hooks said, “Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape.”

[WordSmiff @___Wordsmiff___]

I’m telling you fr fr. If you want to see your relationships w the people around you grow. Curiosity in moments of conflict. “This is not like you. What happened? What’s wrong ” Too often we lean towards also reacting w emotion and getting upset.

He died at just 26 years old. He recorded the number 1 hit "Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay" just 3 days before he perished in that plane crash.

He would never get a chance to see the success that song had. Tragic.

[FAMU School of Journalism & Graphic Communication @FAMUSJGC82]

🎨 When you first get out of college, the workforce can feel intimidating — but these alums came back to show our Rattlers that greatness starts with their own creativity. 💚🧡

At From Grad 2 Great, Professor Alicia E. Hope (‘09) joined alumni Jasmine Patrick (‘24), Elijah Rutland (‘22), and Kanisha Clark (‘24) for an open conversation on life after graduation, turning classroom projects into career wins, and finding your unique voice in the design world. ✨

Their stories reminded students that success in creative industries isn’t about having it all figured out — it’s about starting, experimenting, and staying true to your passion.

1st high school band on the roster 🫡🔥🔥

[PURPLE MARCHING MACHINE 🔥 @shspmm_band]

100 Years of Excellence. A Century of Bison Pride.

When it comes to band you already know “𝙉𝙤𝙗𝙤𝙙𝙮 𝘿𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙄𝙩 𝘽𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧” than the PMM.

Shoutout @fixmysole for the new swag.

[Tim @trouble_man90]

This exactly how so many Black and Latino men got wrapped up and tricked into supporting white supremacy. It’s like tentacles on an octopus. You get lured in with anti-trans, anti-gay, anti-vax, misogyny, faux masculinity, edgy memes etc. but it all leads back to the main body (white supremacy). Now all of a sudden you’re crying online over a white supremacist.

And in 1887 God said, “let there be FAMU,” and there was FAMU. And God saw that FAMU was good.

[DocMcStuffins, PhD, MPH @aaleah_]

Marva was selected by the Board of Trustees over Donald Palm Ph.D., the current COO of FAMU. Weeks later, one of those BOT Members suddenly resigns from the Board and steps into the role of COO. Who else had promises made to them that conflicted with their best decision-making?

Accepting u bout to throw up gotta be the worst feeling on gods green earth

@ReeeeeYA Congrats!

[Christian Dior @CDior_]

At some point in your life, you really have to tell yourself "this isn't an experience I want to keep having" and stop entertaining things that don't benefit you in any way

[Elijah Rutland @fixmysole]

@IamStacia Your fellow alumni😂😂

[Elijah Rutland @fixmysole]

I just know I don’t see FAMU ppl arguing with Mississippi Valley about bands, of all things…
