So I should be revising…

but instead of Epicurus or Plato, I’m basically studying Benedict Cumberbatch, and have found that he REALLY REALLY wants children. All I’m saying is…who is refusing him?!? what nut job woman does not want to carry his spawn? I’m not a fan of having children, far from it…but I would so entirely have his children it’s almost sickening. That is all from my rant of the day.

Quandary…

Sometimes I watch a movie that has like “European guys” or is set in this magical part of Europe, and I find myself longing to go there. Then I remember, I live in fucking London, I’ve visited fucking mainland Europe. Where the fuck are they filming these movies and where are these fucking “European guys” hiding?

Not all that long ago the law of the land was segregation. All professional sports, concerts, buses, trains, bathrooms, pools, beaches, water fountains, restaurants and schools all had restriction on skin color.
 
Then in New Orleans on November 14, 1960 the courts ordered the first day of integrated schools and all hell broke loose.
Her father was fired from his job because he allowed his daughter to go to an all white school. Her grandparents, sharecroppers in Mississippi were kicked off the land they worked and lived on.
Ruby Bridges was 6 years old.
Every morning, as Bridges walked to school, one woman would threaten to poison her.  Because of this, the U.S. Marshals dispatched by President Eisenhower, who were overseeing her safety, only allowed Ruby to eat food that she brought from home. Another woman at the school put a black baby doll in a wooden coffin and protested with it outside the school, a sight that Ruby said “scared me more than the nasty things people screamed at us.” At her mother’s suggestion, Bridges began to pray on the way to school, which she found provided protection from the comments yelled at her on the daily walks.
 
 Former United States Deputy Marshal Charles Burks later recalled, “She showed a lot of courage. She never cried. She didn’t whimper. She just marched along like a little soldier, and we’re all very proud of her
  
REAL people, both Black and White, stood up and made a difference. When all the teachers in the school refused to teach Ruby, Barbara Henry said she would, simply because it was right.  A white neighbor provided her father with a new job. Some white families did send their children to school despite the protests.
It has taken America awhile to really be the land of the free…but it has always been the home of the brave. Just look at 6-year-old Ruby Bridges. 

it’s just unbearable. she was six years old. look at the determination on her face. she makes me so proud to be a PoC! <3

Mind Wanderings of Apayo <3

There isn’t really much of a point to this post apart from the fact that I just wanted to show my appreciation to my best friend Amanda. Not only does she put up with my neurosis, she adds in her own distinct flavour of crazy. We’re like the Baskin Robbins of crazy. The last few weeks has shown me just how important it is to have a friend like Apanda. She doesn’t just listen to your problems, she puts them into perspective by telling you what kind of insanity she herself has been up to. For example, today I called her in a fit of hysteria because I have a really important exam coming up that could save my grade this year, but true to form, instead of revising I pulled a classic Maryan move and decided to ‘waste’ my morning watching various episodes of iCarly online. Amanda didn’t give me a bullshit pep talk about my “potential” or demand I get back to revision…no…Amanda was true to her form too and instead told me how she had spent her morning watching Spongebob Squarepants online, but she wanted to point out that that is okay too because despite having exams also to revise for, she had learnt what Spongebob’s Latin name was. and that’s important too. Is that not true love?
