@TheIconKidd Stay on the path there is something bigger on the other side. The negative feedback is all projections and usually has NOTHING to do with the person receiving it. 🙏🏾✨
Looking at #loveislandallstars season one @LoveIsland, it saddens me that the producers couldn't find 1 guy that really was into #Kaz. Watching this show, a dark skin black woman is ALWAYS left ALONE unless there’s a dark or brown-skinned man involved #diversityneeded#DoBetter
A scruffy beard and a moment of stillness. Gratitude for the simple things-the warmth of the sun, breath, presence. Felt in the body, quiet in the mind. Sometimes it's in these small pauses we find ourselves again. #SunnyAngel#gratitude#sundayvibes
These are the Muse Brothers. Their biological names are George and Willie Muse. They were two albino brothers;
In 1899 they were kidnapped as boys in Truevine, Virginia by bounty hunters and were forced into the circus, labeled as “freak show” performers.
Their owners showcased the brothers in circuses where they were exploited for profit in so-called freak shows. The Muse Brothers became famous across the United States as “Eko and Iko”, the “White Ecuadorian Cannibals”, the “Sheep Headed Men”, the “Sheep Headed Cannibals”, the “Ministers from Dahomey” and “Ambassadors from Mars”.
George and Willie were forced to grow their hair into massive “dreadlocks“ which together with their white skin and bluish eyes were exhibited as rarities. They were also billed as “Darwin’s Missing Links” and “Nature’s Greatest Mistakes”.
The boys were not permitted to go to school, neither were they paid for their work. They were literally kept in slavery.
One of their owners had found that George and Willie harboured the ability to play any song on almost any instrument, from the xylophone to the saxophone and mandolin, and that made them even more famous and more valuable ‘assets’ to owners of travelling circuses. However, after all this time, their illiterate mother had not ceased looking for her boys.
In the fall of 1927, the brothers were on a tour with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus to Roanoke, little did the boys know they were coming home from which they had disappeared nearly three decades back.
It came to their mother’s attention that the The Greatest Show On Earth was in town and she was determined to find them. It was a tough decision to confront the Ringling Brothers who were powerful multimillionaires who also had the attention of the heavyweight politicians and law enforcement agencies.
Their mother tracked them down and eventually found the boys working for the Ringling Brothers circus and surprised them while they were on stage and their family reunited, 28 years later since they had gone missing in the very same town. The poor and powerless black woman stood up to police and big shot circus owners and successfully took her sons home.
Watching the @TheView and @sunny was a bit much today. The communication became personal. State the facts, but don’t make it about the co-host. #theview#notpersonal
Today a calf in Brooklyn escape from a slaughter house, they capture it and took it back to the slaughter house. There’s a reason it was escaping, it knew what was about to happen and wanted freedom. #sad#animallover
People talking about @ladygaga chapped lip during her #Oscar2023 performance. Yo.. people need to relax… the obsession with promoting perfection. Her performance was emotionally strong and moving talk about that. #relax#ShesHuman ;) #LadyGaga
