Just me. I'm new to this whole Tumblr thing, so I'm slowly muddling my way through it. If you want to know anything, ask.

Literally Me. 😭
No matter how bad things are right now. No matter how stuck you feel. No matter how many days you’ve spent crying and wishing things were different. No matter how hopeless and depressed you feel. I promise you that you won’t feel this way forever. Keep going 💫

Ballerina Aesha Ash is wandering around inner city Rochester in a tutu to change stereotypes about women of color and inspire young kids. For most of her career at the New York City Ballet she was the only African-American ballerina. Aesha retired from ballet in 2008 and started the Swan Dreams Project, a project that encourages African-American girls to become ballet dancers.
She’s determined to use her dance background to change the stereotypes and misconceptions that people—including black people—have about women of color. “I want to show it’s okay to embrace our softer side, and let the world know we’re multidimensional,” says Ash.

Finish Shit February
So you’ve heard of Inktober?
Here’s a concept that I literally just came up with because I am a garbage fire that is incapable of finishing ANYTHING: every day of February should be used to finish your works-in-progress. It doesn’t matter how old they are (like, it could literally be a piece that is 20 years old in a sketchbook you dug out from your garage), as long as you FINISH it! It could be a fanfiction you abandoned back in 2013! Doesn’t matter! Finish it! An illustration that just needs color to be done? EXCELLENT! FINISH IT! A cosplay that just needs some finishing touches? FINISH ITTT!
I know that I easily have at least 28 pieces that are half finished or almost completed, and my guess is that I’m not the only one.
So yeah, FINISH SHIT FEBRUARY. You’ve got a few months to plan for it so no excuses (I’m talking to myself here, FYI.)
So I saw this post a while ago and I decided I’m going to do this!
For every day in February I’m going to try and get ONE thing done each day.
- But instead of just finishing art and writing projects, I’m adding all my other tasks in my to do list as well.
- If you are like me I put off soo much stuff. Haven’t repotted that plant yet? Been meaning to clean out your junk drawer? Need to back up your photos but haven’t gotten around it?
- Plan out your February by getting a list of 28 things to finish. Or a smaller list of larger projects.
These are just some things that I’m going to try to get done this February.
- Who wants to do this me??
I’m going to do this with you about every thing in my life that needs to be done. We’re in this together @the-cellar-spiral 💚💙💜
@secretlycrazyhummingbird and @the-cellar-spiral (who it won’t let me tag for some reason)
GAHHH YOU MADE IT EVEN BETTER! Seriously, thank you so much.
I’m gonna do the things. We can do the things.
I spent my life in foreign lands. So many men have tried to kill me, I don’t remember all their names. I have been sold like a broodmare. I’ve been chained and betrayed, raped and defiled. Do you know what kept me standing through all those years in exile? Faith. Not in any gods, not in myths and legends. In myself. In Daenerys Targaryen.

BUt yall don’t understand how perfect this is.
Cause, it’s generally agreed: Hades was a pretty chill dude. He was rich and powerful and grim and kind of a moody manic sometimes, but generally, as long as you stayed on your side of the styx and didn’t much up with him he was content to leave you be. And even if you come crashing down into his realm being a jackass, he was still fair and just, if annoyed. (The story where Heracles bails out one of the guys he had punished for being rude psycho jackasses basically amounts to “leave the lead jackass to rot, but if it means that much take the other brats”)
He’s a very Lawful Neutral figure: The guy behind the desk of the great tax collector in the ancient world. The Greeks had a healthy respect and fear for him, but as long as you followed the rules and paid the ferry man there wasn’t anything to fear- and really he wasn’t the one responsible for the system…Just the guy enforcing it.
But Persephone.
Persephone.
There was someone you did not want to piss off. There is a reason Hades name is just “The Rich One” and her’s is “The Iron Queen”. She took her job as queen of the underworld very very seriously and she had a mean streak a mile wide. When Orpheus came down to fetch his wife Hades was all for letting them go he was so moved by the man’s music, but Persephone is the one that set the trial knowing that Orpheus couldn’t resist looking- in some versions of the myth after he’s ripped apart by nymphs she seats him in their court to be their musician and it’s implied that was her plan all along- to not only keep one soul but to gain another- capable of great music to please her husband. When the whole thing with Adonis went down, she threatened the stability of all the world to tip the scales in her favor. According to Homer when men wanted to call curses down on the souls of the departed they invoked her name.
The Greeks where terrified of her. Aside from her priests no one was allowed to speak her name legally (with Hades and the others it was just social tabbo) for fear of drawing her attention. To them- she was the Goddess of Life AND Death, Summer and Winter. She command power over men’s lives and their deaths. You did not mess with her.
In all likely hood this is exactly how it would go down- Hades holding her flower while she meeted out the divine hellish punishment on the offenders.

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT
Reblogging because I care about you guys
Important
Rohypnol has an INCREDIBLY salty taste to it. It’s disgusting. And it also isn’t a drug that acts immediately! The minute you notice the salty taste, you have about 5-10 minutes to get somewhere safe or call an ambulance, and it CAN be fought if you’re aware of it. It will make you woozy, it will make you so dizzy you can’t stand upright, it will certainly make you unable to walk properly, but if you struggle to remain conscious you can get about 20 extra minutes of consciousness from the drug before it will knock you out completely. If you’re in a public place, and the person who drugged you is trying to take you somewhere private, start. a. fight. Insist as LOUDLY and as VIOLENTLY as you can that you refuse to go anywhere with them. Odds are they’re trying to make as little of a scene as possible as they drag you away, and if you’re putting up a fight and very clearly ‘drunk’, eyes will turn on them and they’ll either need to let you go, or cause a serious scene, which they don’t want. Don’t just act like you’re just protesting being taken home, though. Fight like your life depends on it even if they aren’t assaulting you. Cause. A. Scene. That’s the last thing they want.
Everyone should reblog this!
Very useful.
