LASSO FLAT-PACKED SLIPPERS

Just think of them as an Ikea product for your feet. Like our favorite affordable Swedish furniture, Lasso Flat-Packed Slippers (£27; roughly $40) arrive in a slim box ready to be assembled. Made from a single piece of grey wool felt, they feature a hearty leather sole, and your choice of laces, which you use to build the shoe by sewing them through precut holes. We haven’t seen the printed instructions yet, but we’re guessing they’re not quite as frustrating as the wordless booklets that come from the big blue store.

“

I frankly, ya’ll, find it hard to get through every January cause I know all the phony stuff I’m going to have to listen to about Dr. Martin Luther King because the powers that be in this country have totally distorted what that man was, they’ve put him on a pedestal you see, he looks like a dreamer. He wasn’t a dreamer he was a revolutionary!

I may not know a lot but I know something about white folks cause I been one for 80 years. And I know that us white folks, we will do anything in the world rather than face the truth about what racism, and I prefer to call it white supremacy which is what it is, has done to us and to the country. But this is a very comfortable image, of the little black and white children walking the red hills of Georgia together. Well of course you’d like to have that happen but it takes more than that right? It’s very different from what he was saying in his Riverside church speech when he said, among other things- “true compassion is more than flinging coins to a beggar. True compassion recognizes that a society that creates beggars needs to be totally restructured.

”

- Anne Braden

When a White person uses MLK’s words to promote White supremacy, I have to go back and find this quote to calm down.

this must be what heaven looks like

omg

if it is, heaven doesn’t last long! Believe me. My parents had puppies a few times with our family dogs. Keeping them still and in one little space is SO hard! I bet those two people in the back running out of the frame, were helping keep the puppies there!

this picture is AWESOME! So much hard work must have gone in to it!!!

About 5–10% of people from Melanesia, a group of islands northeast of Australia, have naturally blonde hair — the highest prevalence outside Europe. Yet people from the region have the darkest skin pigmentation outside Africa.

a lot of Northern and Central Indigenous Australians have blonde hair too. note the texture is also very different to typical Pacific Islander or African hair.

Genetics is fuckin nuts
