Tribbles have picked the wrong man to mess with

Black Girl Magic means many different things to many different people, but maybe we can simply define it as the resolve of Black women and girls to triumph in the face of structural oppression. These three words are a celebration of the resilience, strength, and beauty of Black girls and women, who have overcome countless obstacles and continue to inspire and uplift others. As a society, we need to acknowledge and celebrate the power and potential of Black girls, and recognize the vital role they play in shaping our future. Black women and girls are the backbone of their communities, often taking on roles of leadership and responsibility from a young age. Unapologetic in their pursuit of their dreams and refusing to be held back by societal expectations — Black (women and) girls are trailblazers, creating their own paths and shattering stereotypes along the way. Simply put BLACK GIRLS ARE MAGICAL.
Now let’s get one thing straight “magic” is not to say that Black women are mythical or superhuman. This magic is a very different: magic in realness, in love, and the way we rally around one another in the face of institutional oppression. This magic is not sorcery or the supernatural, but what Black women can achieve each and every day as a million little revolutions, and a million little acts of defiance, that say you belong here. It is magic against the very real injustices faced every day: survival; more likely to be killed at almost three times the rate of white women, yet without headlines appealing for change. More likely to die giving birth, and the most suspended of any student group in the USA. And suspended for what? For how they wear their hair, for how they dress, by asking questions. Even in the workplace, there is both antiblackness and sexism to navigate: misogynoir.
Despite these challenges, #BlackGirlMagic is conjured each and every day in a million different ways: through hair, writing, painting, poetry, dance, performance, fashion and dress, culture and history, music, and even speech. The Black experience is often narrated as a struggle, Black Girl Magic challenges that by exploring the joy, amplifying these voices and stories, and changing the narrative.

so there’s this awesome post here that suggests a live action kim possible movie with zendaya, tom holland, and jacob batalon like so…
and i was like daaaamn but then it go me thinking about everyon else especially our good ol favourite lesbian shego… which i concluded should be portrayed by kehlani and then her and zendaya can be super gay together
now if we have shego we’ll need drakken too so I’m thinking michael mando who plays vic the dick on orphan black and if you’ve never seen orphan black then clearly you’re not a lesbian and I can’t help you with that
now for kim’s parents dr. james t. possible and dr. ann possible i was thinking gay icon john mulaney and gugu mbatha-raw who plays bisexual kelly in san junipero and yes her parents are like 35 but you’re just going to have to deal with it
letitia wright as monique
bonnie will be lesbian jesus hayley kiyoko and her crew will be the other cheerleaders
and lastly rufus will be played by gina linetti’s shirt
The wedding is about to begin!!
Classic Who // New Who Parallels → “Ruth” celebrates what she believes to be her 44th birthday. The broadcast date of this episode, January 26, 2020, marks 44 years and 2 days since the January 24, 1976 broadcast of the final episode of TV: The Brain of Morbius, the last episode to explicitly suggest pre-Hartnell incarnations of the Doctor.
About 2 months ago, I stumbled onto child pornographers on tumblr. It came up on my dash and I couldn’t believe it. I immediately unfollowed the user and reported the blog to Tumblr itself.
They emailed me that they had received the report and were working on it. I communicated with them on a daily basis asking why the blog was still up and what they were doing. It was almost TWO WEEKS before anything was done about it.
Im not surprised this is happening, and I’ve lost quite a lot of faith in the site. I run two blogs right now, this one, and @Somecutething which has now been flagged as NSFW. Which doesn’t make any sense because it’s a cute animal blog.
What doesn’t make any sense to me is HOW DOES CHILD PORNOGRAPHY GO UNNOTICED BY @staff FOR SO LONG!?!? Tumblr has let those kids down. Tumblr fucked up and needs to know they fucked up. I’m glad Apple and the iOS store took a stand.
If I find anything, ANYTHING with Child pornography on it I’m not relying on Tumblr Staff anymore to take it down, I will report it straight to NCMEC or the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. They’ll actually make sure that something is done.
Hi could you do one where Yaz, Bill, and Ryan have more in Common than traveling with the Doctor
“So, like… you’re into grime, then?” Ryan asked, his eyes widening in awe at the prospect. “Cos that’s super uncommon in most girls, I mean… Yaz doesn’t even know what grime is.”
“I do so,” Yaz shot back, frowning good-naturedly at him. “Stop making out that I’m super uncool.”
“You are super uncool,” he reminded her fondly, reaching over and ruffling her hair. “Like, totally and completely uncool. But I bet Bill isn’t. Are you, Bill?”
“I dunno,” she gave a nervous little laugh and a half-shrug. “I’m a bit of a nerd, but yeah, grime is sick. I reckon we could get Yaz into it, what do you say? Couple of nights out…”
“Oh god,” Yaz groaned. “I’ll just prepare for a hangover now, shall I?”
