Why isn't New Orleans Mother's Day parade shooting... →
“So I shouldn’t be surprised that the Mother’s Day Parade shooting has largely been forgotten. On Sunday, shots were fired into a crowd during a parade in the New Orleans 7th ward. Police said they saw three suspects running from the scene.
This is the largest mass shooting in the United States where the shooters were still at large after the crime was committed. Think about that for a minute....

George Washington: Would use a simple template and dedicate his blog mostly to his farm work; what crops are doing well and what grows best in what soil, and where to get the best beer in the country. It’s not a terribly active blog. Accidentally became tumblr famous. He’s also annoyed because the only asks he gets are political ones, and he’d rather keep his...

you expected it to hurt in the fall, and it did - just not in the ways you’d thought. you expected it to feel like a new wound every time you saw him with her, but you never knew how much it would hurt at night, when you’re clutching your knees to your chest, rocking back and forth while gasping for air. and when the sobs stop, the insecurities begin anew. you’re not pretty enough,...

Huck Finn says that when he decides to help Jim, even though assisting runaway slaves is illegal. He feels conflicted about it and sincerely believes he will be damned for it, but he decides to say that damnation is worth it. In that moment, he does the hardest thing a man can do: he lives by his own conscience.

It’s quite funny how as a teenager you believe that out of the billions of people in this world, you will never find anyone better for you than some pimply high school boy who always picks you second.
You hang around people who shrug whenever you speak unless they need something from you, because you’re afraid that at your age that doesn’t even span two decades, this is the best...

I believe in the essential goodness of humanity because things like suicide hotlines and blood banks and soup kitchens and homeless shelters exist, and the people that work there generally do it for no extrinsic benefit to themselves other than the satisfaction of having helped another human being continue living despite the hardships they’ve stumbled upon in their life. that in...

I grew up in a society that tried so hard to convince me that beauty was something on the exterior, that I wasn’t born conventionally “beautiful” so therefore I could never become beautiful.
in seventeen years, I’ve come to understand that beauty is something that’s very difficult to put into words. it’s essentially ones soul that’s beautiful, and that’s not something that you’d be...

You know that feeling you get right before you cry?
Like that prickly feeling in your cheeks, how your face suddenly feels heavier than it is, heavy with your sorrows, heavy with whatever keeps you up at night.
And then you feel it coming. You feel that liquid rising to the surface, threatening to spill, and your cheeks feel hot now - a weird sort of heat.
