American Starr Andrews skated to #InterviewWithTheVampire @AMCsAnneRice and Turning Page (Free Skating) at Skate America 2025 in Lake Placid
She did a clean skate!
AMC FINALLY did something right for once and sent her some merch aww
EDIT: FYI Starr finished seventh at the Nationals and she will compete at the Four Continents this 21-25 January. This is also her last season as a single skater; she will move to pairs next season. Please support her if you can!
My name is Nankabiri Josephine, a transgender woman living in a Sudan refugee camp with other LGBTQ and other needy refugees. We face extreme hardship, including homophobia, hunger, lack of medication, bedding, and basic needs. Our group spends about $800 weekly on food and medicine, yet many members—elderly people, disabled individuals, and single mothers—are still struggling to survive.
We urgently need help for our community member, Jummy. A small cut on his foot became severely infected and is now filled with maggots. Doctors have confirmed the infection has turned cancerous and requires immediate surgery. Without treatment, Jummy may lose his leg or his life. We cannot afford the surgery.
Please help save Jummy’s life. Any donation, even $1, can make a difference.

This was supposed to be unrebloggable, but I was flying into a gamer rage at the antique store because someone was wearing too much Victoria's Secret Love Spell body spray and it gave me a migraine.
that’s enough emotions for a whole year. ciao
The earlier in the year you reblog this the better it gets
Okay here's my obligatory post about Tumblr users and their ignorance of rap, as a (white) fan of rap:
Saying "Not all rap music is about violence, here are alternatives" is not helpful, because the violent music ALSO has meaning.
When Biggie Smalls postures about his gang connections and packing heat, he isn't doing it because wow violence is so edgy, it's a powerful statement. Youth in urban areas where gang activity is heavy are often treated as lesser than by default, especially compared to black people the same age from a wealthy background. There's a reason that the "wholesome and respectable" black-lead entertainment of that era was stuff like the Cosby Show, with doctor-lawyer parents, or Family Matters, with a cop dad. There's a reason why the big joke of Fresh Prince is someone with a more unstable upbringing moving in with one of these model black sitcom families.
Standing up and saying yeah, I came from the mean streets, I was molded by this violence and yes, I did what I had to do to survive in a world that refuses to acknowledge my existence as meaningful or worthy of protection. I protected myself, I made my own way, and fuck anybody who tries to stand in the way of that.
Refusing to demonize that environment and wearing it like armor in a way that protects from the authority that wants you to see them as sub humans incapable of only violence and hatred, and saying HEY. I'm here, I lived this, and there is love and there is pain and there is ART in this.
That is powerful. That is the essence of gangster rap.
It isn't about hurting people for fun, it's about holding a mirror up to a society that does the hurting and then calls you a monster for what it's made you. Its about validating the experiences of the disenfranchised and biting back at authority. It's about turning a pain that the world say you deserve being one of those people from those places into POETRY. Into ART.
And thats why it matters.
And thats why you need to shut the yell up and stop dismissing it as violence without substance when you all sat on your ass listening to songs about Hatsune Miku eating people in middle school.
this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier
TMI just means Tell Me Immediately. Sorry not sorry 🤷🏻♀️
