I'm pretty random, but I love music, tv, and movies of all kind. Shows that I love, and or am obsessed with: Supernatural- Destiel, The Vampire Diaries, The Walking Dead, True Blood- Team Eric, Dance Moms, Duck Dynasty, Lost Girl, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Bate Motel, Elementary, Hannibal, Vikings, Once Upon A Time.
We think history is so far removed from us, but sometimes I’m reminded how very close we are to each other on the timeline.
My paternal grandfather was born in 1906 (I have older parents). He and my grandmother came through Ellis Island.
My vocal coach’s grandparents survived the 1906 San Fransisco earthquake and fire.
My great-grandfather lived to the age of 106. He often spoke of how strongly he remembered his nursemaid’s taffeta skirts rustling as she walked when he was a child. He was born in the 1870s. My grandmother recorded him on video in the 1980s talking about those Victorian bustle skirts he grew up with.
On my mother’s side, we tracked down a marriage record for her 17th-century English ancestors, their signatures still crystal-clear and confident on the yellowed parchment. The church where they were married still stands in London.
Samuel J. Seymour was born in 1860 and at age five, he witnessed the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Almost 100 years later, at age 96, he went on live television and recounted his firsthand account of the death of the president. You can watch the interview here.
The last survivor of the sinking of the Titanic, Millvina Dean, died in 2009.
The oldest person ever, Jeanne Calment, lived to age 122. She died in 1997 after recording a pop album, the same year The Spice Girls were topping the charts; but she remembered that as a child, Vincent Van Gogh once visited her father’s paint shop.
It’s easy to think of history as abstract, black and white, theoretical. But do some digging–you’ll probably find that it’s within arm’s reach.
Dude i got through all these but that last one fuck me up
This dance teacher went viral for doing cartwheels in pink thigh-high boots to tackle bullying!
Dremon Cooper is a 19-year-old from Washington, DC. He’s a dance teacher for an LGBT nonprofit called Casa Ruby.
Cooper
told that he’s a goofy person who loves to laugh and make
skits and, more recently, created a new superhero character.
Cooper
says the name of the character is Super Bitch, but fans have started to
call the superhero “Him Possible.” The character was created to show
that bullying and violence are not OK.

A conservative dress with children of your own race. SO progressive!
…. do you need something, or?
Yes, I need to tell you that you have been manipulated by this site I used to spend my entire youth on. I used to be just like you but life made me mature and I realize now how brainwashed I was. This site is poison, and I sincerely and absolutely mean that. You were here since 2012? I was since 2009. Please, wake up, I beg you. Please stop being misled by all these labels and infighting and utopian ideals, it’s not worth it. Stop living life for cheap pleasure. Seeing innocent people be led to chaos like this makes me cry. It really does. i wish you the best.
what in the god damn hell are you talking about……. this was a post about ikea
