“It was important for me to complete another set of pictures with my daughter because of the life lessons and edification that stem from seeing and learning about other black women,” Chauncia, a freelance writer and editor, told For Harriet.

It’s an amazing way to teach your kid about black history, about outstanding black women in History of America. These women have influenced our culture, our future and they need to be acknowledged. All of them represent a variety of career fields,each one of these women have an interesting story to tell. This is important. And it’s even more important for black kids to know these stories and to learn something from them.

Edit: Thanks everyone for all the love 🙂 This post has gotten very popular.

These bats are almost a year old now and sold a long time ago. I still do make the bats, but they do sell out quickly so if you’re interested I advise you follow my page and watch for updates.

There is a Kickstarter running for galaxy bats!

You can also get the pattern for this bat as well as other bat goodies from my store.

Man eating rice, China, 1901-1904

this is an extremely important picture

Ive never seen someone from 1904 having fun omg

He has a nice face

No but the history behind this picture is really interesting

The reason that everyone always looked miserable in old photos wasn’t that they took too long to take. Once photography became widespread it took only seconds to take a picture.

It was because getting your photo taken was treated the same as getting your portrait painted. A very serious occasion meant so thst your descendants would know that ypu existed and what you looked like.

But one time some British dudes went to china to go on an anthropological expedition, and they met some rural Chinese farmers and decided to take their pictures. Now, these people weren’t exposed to the weird culture of the time around getting your photo taken, so this guy just flashed a big grin during the photo because he was told to strike a pose and that’s the pose he wanted to strike.

man laughing alone with rice

It took him 3 years to eat rice

trump is having a total meltdown over the idea of him not being 100% in charge of his bullshit orders and i’m loving it 

Why is he still tweeting from his personal account instead of from @ POTUS? It’s almost like he doesn’t think he’s president either.

“What is this country coming to when a judge can halt a Homeland Security travel ban”
Yes, what is this country coming to when it’s citizens in power actually uphold the morals of their position and do their jobs effectively even if it goes against what I want

What is this country coming to when… anyone, even with bad intentions, can be president of the U.S.?
