- GUY: What's your name?
- ME: Annaliese.
- GUY: Emilese.
- ME: ANNA-liese.
- GUY: Annaliese... sounds Jamaican.
- ME: (tries not to look at Jamaican flag clearly tattooed on wrist) I am from Jamaica.
- GUY: I have friends who are Jamaican. And Bob Marley. He's a good guy. You know him?
- ME: Not personally. He died before I was born.
- GUY: I went to one of his concerts. A long time ago. I have friends who've met him. He's a really good guy. Did A LOT for your people.
- ME: ...mmmm.
I’m not trying to get pity or anything when I say this. I am not an attractive person. I’m not saying I’m ugly, but I don’t fit guys’ definition of beautiful. I know this. I’ve learned to embrace this. It’s actually really helpful, because when a guy doesn’t find me attractive, I’m not offended. If he does, then wow.

Killing journalists doesn’t kill the truth.
Demonstrators outside the presidential palace in Tegucigalpa, Honduras protesting the murder of more than 20 journalists in that country over the last three years.
None of the murders has been solved.

Delirium of The Endless done by Michael Kemp of Royal Ink Tattoo and Piercing, Republic, MO
My husband is near to completing his apprenticeship and this is the best tattoo he has done so far- as you can see, it’s magnificent! The Sandman resonates with me far more than any other work of fiction, and I will end up with an entire sleeve dedicated to Gaiman’s work. This is just the beginning, and I’m already in love with it!

How did white people invent racism when the first white people were albinos pushed out of africa by black africans?
LOL Well said. Africans are possibly the most racist people on earth.

TELL CONGRESS TO IMPROVE FOOD AID FOR MALNOURISHED CHILDREN
Right now, the US Congress is considering changes to the Farm Bill, the law that dictates what kind of food aid assistance the US sends overseas. With better nutrition standards, US food aid could save more children suffering from malnutrition.
TAKE ACTION! SIGN THE PETITION!
