“So when the most influential black woman in the world, armed with degrees from some of the best institutions in the world, names Beyonce, a singer best known for a song called “Bootylicious,” as someone she aspires to be, how can we expect young black girls who didn’t go to Princeton to aspire to more than that?”—
Did Michelle Obama Make a Major Misstep with Beyonce? | Loop21 (via tballardbrown)
Fucking no, idiots. Don’t tokenize Michelle Obama. She can aspire to what she wants, she doesn’t have to pretend not to because every black child will instantly only want to be Beyonce. Your argument is invalid because if Michelle Obama wanted to be Beyonce, well, she’s Michelle Obama, and looking up to another strong black woman didn’t change that. Stop being so fucking false-PC, NPR, I love you but this is your worst fault, because you’re mostly a lot of white guys and you make too many white assumptions.
Hunger Games pick-up lines.
You must be like Foxface, stealing my heart like she stole those berries
You hijcaked my heart
Not even Clove's knives could tear me away from you
'I love you' is so mainstream, 'Real or not real?'
You're good at archery? Then you and I must have a good shot at love
You've caught me in snares of your love
When you sing, birds aren't the only things that stop to listen
Are you the coal-miners daughter? Cause you're the bomb!
Are you the bakers son? Because your buns are beautiful
Are you a victor? Because you've got a winning smile
A rare natural phenomenon turns one of Austria’s most beautiful hiking trails into a 10 meter-deep lake, for half the year.
Located at the foot of the Hochschwab Mountains, in Tragoess, Styria, Green Lake is one of the most bizarre natural phenomena in the world. During the cold winter months, this place is almost completely dry, and used as a country park where hikers love to come and spend some time away from urban chaos. But as soon as temperatures rise, the snow and ice covering the mountaintops begin to melt, and the water pours down, filling the basin below with crystal-clear water.
Water levels go from one-two meters at most, to over 10 meters, in the early summer. The waters of Green Lake are highest in June, when this extraordinary place is invaded by divers, curious to see what a mountain park looks like underwater. Fish swimming over wooden benches, a grass-covered bottom, trees, roads, roads and even bridges create a surreal setting that feels like it belongs on dry ground. That’s because for half of the year, that’s exactly where it’s at.
I really want to dive here.
