My only constant is the black hair tie around my wrist. No mans gonna be there for me like this hair tie has. No ones presence is gonna b as reassuring
To all my followers who don’t follow tennis and are wondering why this is important, Serena and Venus were unfairly treated at Indian Wells. The last time Serena played at this venue was in the 2001 final. She won, but she was booed throughout and racist slurs were thrown at both her and her family because Venus pulled out of their semifinal match. Venus and Serena boycotted the tournament since then. 14 years later, Serena decided to return. She was rightfully apprehensive and unsure what the crowd would be like, but she was welcomed on the court for her first match with a standing ovation. That’s why both she and her family are in tears.
fuck this joke honestly. It’s been a trend these past couple years at these award shows where a white says something like this and all the whites giggle together but aint none of them do shit after that shit settle. they laugh in the comfort of their privilege. like they just say this to be quirky. something as severe as this is brought up and everyone laughs cuz they know it’s true but it means nothing to them. it’s nothing serious. It’s like “haha, i guess that is messed up. whelp im comfortable as fuck tho so ima keep doing me”
“If I could open up my own skate shop, I’d be so happy. Then I could do nothing but spread stoke to other riders. I’d like it to be in Puerto Rico. It would have this chill, laid back energy. It would be a no judge zone. You could wear anything. We’d have a tattoo guy chilling in the corner. There’d be crystals, and incense burning everywhere, and a big Buddha somewhere.”
