a favourite book isn’t just a story, it’s a memory of you - the person you were every time you read it - that’s why I can’t bear to throw my books away
(Literally) deep.

The power of positive reinforcement. Jonathan Wall shared shared this story on Twitter just a few weeks before his 2016 graduation from Harvard Law. And he’s no ordinary graduate.

i dont get offended at white people jokes even though im white because:
- i can recognize white people as a whole have systemically oppressed POC in america, which is where i live
- most people when they make white people jokes only mean the shitty white people and i am not a shitty white person
- im not a pissbaby
my white friends that have reblogged this give me life
4. Sometimes I am a shitty white person and the jokes remind me to FUCKIN STOP
If ur white and like this post I fux with u
^absolutely
5. It’s hard to be offended when white people jokes involve bland food/tourist dads in socks and sandals/white girls in yoga pants obsessed with pumpkin spice/suburban PTA moms and other harmless and mostly true stereotypes while jokes about POC involve them being called thugs/criminals/slurs/uneducated/illegal immigrants.
i fucks with u heavy if ur white and you reblog this
6. They’re usually really fucking funny and don’t perpetuate stereotypes that will ever affect me economically, politically, or cause me any true harm, let alone create risks that “justify” my murder and/or death

Compare Obama 2008 and 1016 Sanders after 35 states.
The establishment wants a certain outcome. It’s up to us to change our destiny.

“We CAN afford to seize our own destiny.”
AL GORE once reminded people that the youth of this country are often the driving force for major change, and the status quo establishment who fear change, are often wrong.
Pragmatism is a very poor substitute for real hope and change.
Incremental, allegedly “pragmatic” change—the kind of “change” that too frequently tends to favor big oil frackers and big Wall Street banks like Goldman Sachs—is nothing to get excited about.
On the other hand, true progressives like John F. Kennedy, America’s youngest elected president, proved the value of daring to dream big and talk boldly about doing the impossible.
No it’s never easy, and as JFK reminded us, that isn’t why we choose to do the impossible, but things like Economic Justice and Racial Justice are only impossible until enough of us seize our destiny and make the impossible reality.
Imagine a world where “we choose to go to the moon in this decade, not because it is easy but because it is hard” becomes “ending the scourge and reprecussions of slavery”, “finally treating women as people”, “getting money out of politics” or “ending the immoral practice of capitalism" in this decade…
They 18 years-olds heard Kennedy, and by the time they turned 26, had astronauts on the Moon. Remarkable. #LetsDoThisAgain
