Scorpio Moon 💕

[Gif: 2 shots of a black man with ear-length locs wearing a white unbuttoned shirt. In the first he walks, frowning and says “a plague on both your houses. They have made worms meat of me. Second one is a closeup of him screaming "a plague on both your houses!!!” The poster has captioned it “scorpio moon”. The scenes are of Mercutio (Harold Perrineau) in Baz Luhrman’s Romeo+Juliet.]

boysclvb asked: Please please PLEASE make more posts about your college experience. You confirmed/affirmed so much for me this morning!

suzyycarmichaelll-deactivated20:

I will. I honestly think more black students should talk about their experiences as students and young professionals in general. It can be so isolating walking around a predominantly white campus feeling like you’re only allowed to be there to fill a quota, feeling like you’re everyone’s walking textbook for intro to diversity 100, feeling like the administration feels sorry for you and pities you when ask for help.

If you’re a blogger heavy into Social Justice/Human Rights/Activism and you’re reading this post, take a second and take a deep inhale then exhale. Take a beat and disengage from all The Discourse™; You’re not going to miss out on saving the world by taking 30 seconds to a minute and just checking in with your body.

Feel better? Ok. Reblog to pass this on.
