Everyone who loves this post as much as I do will be very happy to know these two amazing girls are still doing good and just celebrated their two year anniversary back in September. :3
Here’s a pic from Alana’s instagram.
CUTE~~~<3
A Second Much Needed Reblog Update:
This is a message from Alana to all those who love her story.
I am in tears holy SHIT this is so sweet and good and cute and it is so nice to see this on my feed cuz everything has been kinda shitty but this… This is sweet.
Because it was a stupid premise that was going to get people’s butts in seats for one reason and one reason only, and that was to see the Alien fight the Predator, so they could literally do whatever they wanted with the rest of the movie, they didn’t care, so what did they do?
Put Sanaa Lathan in as the lead, gave her a shield made of an alien’s crest and a spear made of an alien’s tail and said “go fight alongside the Predator to save the world from an Alien Queen”, and that’s what she did. They didn’t have to do that, they could have had a white guy, they could have had a white woman, a black man, even, but no, they went with a black woman and made her incredible. And when she fought her way to the end of that movie, they made sure that the most dangerous hunters in the galaxy recognized her and respected her, and they marked her because they decided “You are a paragon of your species and we honor you as one of our own” so in this universe when the Predators think of the Best that Humanity has to offer, they imagine the face of a black woman of science with long curly hair.
For bonus context, the actual quote they’re citing for this protest comes from Edgar Mitchell (1930-2016), who flew in Apollo 14 and was the sixth person to walk on the Moon.
The full quotation, referring to the experience of observing Earth from the Moon surface, is thus:
You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch.’
Whoever photoshopped the Dashcon ball pit into this photo from the Fyre Festival did such a good job that Cosmo magazine put it in it’s list of things that went wrong at the Fyre Fest on Snapchat.
You’re poor because the rich already own everything right?
These people didn’t need cars, taxis, content, inventory, hotels or real estate to get rich.
Access to resources may be a huge advantage, but it’s not what’s stopping you.
I don’t understand what this is trying to say…the CEOs/people who got rich off this stuff were not bootstrapping, they had the millions to invest or investors to do it for them.
If op is referring to the people who actually do the labor, uber drivers aren’t getting rich from this, you’d only think that if you were gullible enough to believe what the people are the top are insisting is true.
If your point is “literally all you have to do is create a billion dollar website! Simple!” this is an incredibly bad opinion
The race to build the world’s tallest skyscraper has reached new heights - and taken a turn in direction.
Designs for ‘The Big Bend’, a slender tower that would transform Manhattan’s skyline have been unveiled.
Described as the ‘longest building in the world’, the project’s concept drawings reveal a skyscraper reaching an apex then curving back down. And featuring an elevator system that can travel in curves, horizontally and in loops.
In a bid to work around the challenges of New York’s zoning laws, design studio Oiio has imagined an innovative concept to straddle across Billionnaire’s Row on 57th Street.
what the fuck is this
It’s why people hate New York.
Oh great there’s going to be a giant fucking paperclip in my skyline. Fucking neato
It looks like you’re baiting disaster! Would you like help?
