My Roommates movin out today

But in 4 days, another one is moving in. *heavy sigh* She’s going to get rude Jazmyn, my capacity for “compensation” (i.e my making all the concessions) has run out and with not be repleted.

Nah son. 

Nah.

Maybe she’ll be flexible, for her own sake.

Finals finished.

Staring at my peeps every time we open our mouths won’t shut us up, obviously perturbed girl.

Like my ma says, “If you need something, open your mouth and ask for it.”

But we’re in a public space so if you’re feelin froggy, there is ample space to jump.

I’m not for passive aggression today. I’m waiting from someone to step just a touch out of line. At least she’s not as bad as the girl last night who wanted us to be quiet while she played computer games. This is not a library, we are not yelling, and we talk for less than 5 minutes at a time. So fuck off.

White girls gettin reckless.

Proud to Be Indigenous Week starts Monday, May 20th. Are you part of it yet?!
Indigenous Peoples from around the world will be descending on New York City for the United Nations’ Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII). While most of us can’t make it to New York, our voices need to be heard! Proud To Be Indigenous is an online campaign for Indigenous People to share their stories. The Proud To Be Indigenous coalition includes over 40 Indigenous and Indigenous-friendly organizations, large and small and from all over the world, that will be sharing photos, videos and stories about Indigenous, Native and Aboriginal people online during UNPFII (see the fill list of coalition members below).
But most importantly, Proud To Be Indigenous is about you, the Indigenous People from around the world, and sharing your story and voice. How? Throughout the week, we are encouraging people to share photos, videos and stories of themselves and why they are proud of their people and culture. We have already started receiving photos, videos and stories from Indigenous People in the Arctic, Amazon, and Central Africa! Join your Indigenous sisters and brothers and send us a photo of you holding a #Proud2BIndigenous sign so that next week, thousands of Indigenous people are showing their pride and sharing their voice. And make sure you are following us on Facebook and Twitter because during the week, we will be sharing Indigenous stories and news coming out of UNPFII.
How can you get involved? Its easy, no matter where you are.
TAKE A #PROUD2BINDIGENOUS PHOTO
Take a photo of yourself with your homemade #Proud2BIndigenous sign. See a few of the great examples we have already received below:

Then then post them on the Proud To Be Indigenous Facebook page with a message telling us your name, your People and where you are live.
If you are on Twitter, tweet your photo using the hashtag #Proud2BIndigenous or #P2BI and we will retweet it.
And if you only have email, just email us the photo to proud2bindigenous@firstpeoples.org and we will share it for you.
That’s it! Make sure you sign up and join the movement so we can update you throughout the week on what is going on. And check out the schedule below for the Proud To Be Indigenous events in New York during UNPFII.

Wayne Brady calls “bullshit” on Bill Maher.

I would be happy if anyone beat Maher’s ass in public, but especially so if it were Wayne Brady
and more context from the article:

Maher first explained his desire for Obama to be a “real black president” who “lifts up his shirt so they can see the gun in his pants” during a monologue in 2010. Subsequently, Maher referred to Obama as “your Wayne Brady,” a characterization that put into question the African-American credentials of both Obama and Brady.
“I’ve respected him as a comedian, and what he does on HBO is great,” Brady told Hill. “But when he starts to drag me in, to use me as the cultural linchpin of his not-black-enough argument, that’s bullshit.”
