So I've been the unfortunate victim of a scam that targetted disabled people looking for jobs and now I owe the bank money on top of all my savings being gone. I'm hoping to raise enough to pay things off so here's my GoFundMe below: https://t.co/6kwpXxXAPu

Never forget. In 1953, They drained an entire swimming pool because Dorothy Dandridge stuck her toe in it." Racism and segregation kept many African Americans from learning to swim-a fact we can't forget while celebrating Simone Manuel's historic Olympic gold medal.

girl you need to watch saving face (2004) and the joy luck club (1993)

Harold Perrineau doesn’t get talked about enough. In Romeo + Juliet (1996), his Mercutio burns through the screen, magnetic, tragic, and impossible to forget. One of the film’s most powerful performances.
