ADULTHOOD IS A S#!%SHOW
When? How? I thought I was the only one doing a triple take at this shoot, when did he become an adult?!!!! Fully confused. I’m not ready for the Stranger Things cast to grow up. Y’all were just riding bikes through the woods, playing Dungeons & Dragon’s in Finn’s basement. Anyone else stunned by how quickly time passes? Via: Teen Vogue
Bretman Rock’s current aesthetic is everything. So glam rock chic and the hair’s always on ten. Which is your favorite? Via: Teen Vogue
Harping once more that reading from other perspectives is critical. This is what makes you educated, worldly and cultured. Our ancestors risked their lives to learn for a reason, knowledge is power. All these people travel the world and couldn’t perspective shift to save their life, because they roam through self-absorption. They learn more about their hotel accommodations and tourist itineraries, completely missing the sociological value. Other people matter, their voices are important, they aren’t just your instagram photo backdrop. Why are you so self-involved?
Notable mentions to: Kindred by Octavia Butler, The Darkest Child by Dolores Phillips (needs a movie adaptation it’s so good) and The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead. Reading is to the mind, what exercise is to the body; learn about cultural experiences beyond yours.
