Steal Like an Artist: 10 things nobody told you about being creative, Austin Kleon
There are plenty of artists I’d like to steal from…
“Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I’m not perfect—and I don’t live to be—but before you start pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean.” —Bob Marley, “Judge Not”
Happy birthday to the legend, Robert Nesta Marley

before it was sipping on zizzurp it was Marvin Gaye - IS THAT ENOUGH (by bernzbaldo1)
*mind blown*
“Plenty” x Guru ft. Erykah Badu
Not just a theme song, it’s on my soundtrack…
Hey, baby, you know it’s okay if you don’t call me anymore ‘cause I got a-plenty truckload of niggas like you at my door
this here is jammin’. I don’t even use the word “cunt” but…yeah.
the faces of Zora…
Happy Birthday, Miss Zora!”I am not tragically colored. There is no great sorrow dammed up in my soul, nor lurking behind my eyes. I do not mind at all. I do not belong to that sobbing school of Negrohood who hold that nature somehow has given them a lowdown dirty deal. Even in the helter-skelter skirmish that is my life, I have seen that the world is to the strong regardless of a little pigmentation more or less. No, I do not weep at the world — I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife.” Zora Neale Hurston
This queen right here?!?!
this woman is everything.
PLEASE try to tell me this Madame Hurston is not one of my most amazing authors and spirits to ever walk this earth!!
Sometimes, I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can any deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It’s beyond me.
The beautiful, spirited Zora Neale Hurston (January 7, 1891)
“Some might even say underachiever/cuz they are not believers/that I don’t want the world/but I done seen the world/and if you ever saw it/hell, you wouldn’t want it either” -Phontigallo (Dance in the Reign)
copped The Final Call today. the cover story is called “Fact, Fiction and Black Women”. the side inset on the cover: Michelle Obama, Ava Muhammad, Rihanna, Beyonce, Oprah, Serena Williams. full cover: Nicki Minaj. my lil one caught a glimpse of the paper, perked up and pronounced:
Lil One: Mrs. Obama! and Oprah! and the tennis girl!
Me: Do you know the other women?
Lil One: Ummm, am I supposed to?? Oh, wait, that’s [points to Beyonce] the girl with the wig…right??
