Yesterday was the 57th anniversary of the arrest of Rosa Parks. 57 years ago Rosa refused to move from her seat to the back of the bus.
It was only 57 years ago that it was legal to tell someone just because of their skin color they had to give up their seat. Discrimination like this was widely accepted, it took one brave person to stand up and fight it.Yesterday President Obama visited the bus Rosa Parks was arrested in. It’s a powerful photo.Don’t forget the recent past.

I just.

You arrest her because her top is too sheer and shows her nipples, something that is only a crime for women.

Fear kills. Protecting yourself backfires eventually. Failure isn’t failure, it’s a step, and life is nothing but steps. Or failures, with occasional, widely spaced successes. If you don’t screw up pretty regularly, you’re only running in place. Also, pain isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, speaking from experience. And living in fear of pain isn’t really living at all. Got that?

Lets not forget about their toes curling, their eyes rolling to the back of their heads, or the body jerks and vibrations that occur when we pleasure them. It fuckin fuels my desire so much. Makes me wanna work as hard as I can to make her lose control and leave the bed soaked. Real talk.
