Functional depression is real.

You work, joke around, take care of people around you. But mentally you are drowning in your own thoughts and nobody knows it.

Two Black women celebrate after flying together as pilot and co-pilot on the same flight. Moments like this are extremely rare in aviation, and the pair made sure to celebrate! We love to see it.🖤

MY BLACK PRINCESSES!!!! THIS IS EVERYTHING TO ME

[Lyn🌺 @_ayandamay]

I once sat with a girl who told me she had been raped.
She had gone to spend the night at her boyfriend’s house, & he spiked her drink.
She woke up to signs of sexual assault — confused, scared, & hurt.
I told her we could go together to make a police report.
I sat beside her as the officer said things like:
‘You shouldn’t have gone over there.’
‘You shouldn’t have stayed the night.’
‘You shouldn’t have accepted a drink.’
‘You shouldn’t have been drinking alcohol at all.’

Every word he said was about what she did wrong — not about what was done to her.

I corrected him. I told him that none of the choices she made were her fault.
None of this was her fault.
He was the one who drugged and assaulted her. It’s not ok to say it’s her fault. He was shocked and mumbled well “no”

Instead of taking her report with professionalism, without judgment, without bias — he made her feel blamed.
She left without filing charges.

This is how rape culture persists

The girl in this photo was doing her PhD and when she told a fellow student her dissertation was on The Boondocks, the student replied: “your existence in the program devalues my degree.”

15 years later her book based on her Boondocks dissertation made her the first Black woman to win an Eisner award at San Diego Comic (the Oscars of Comics), her folllow-up book on comics was a clue on Jeopardy and she's sold nearly 1k copies of her dissertation this year.

Her name is Dr. Sheena Howard.

[COCO @TWOTIMESABITCH]

a lot of adulthood is realizing the “blacksheep” relative was sometimes just the only person who stopped cooperating with the family bullshit.
