Okay but like, what if Inko can only attract objects to her that she already has the strength to pick up herself.

She pulls a couch towards her with one hand. She flies Izuku’s hand weights without blinking for him. She’s exhausted but that car is now six inches away from a rabbit den near the park.

So when swimsuit season comes, sure she’s wearing a one piece but that doesn’t conceal her ARMS and All Might is just like “HOLY SHIT” and Izuku is just like “yeah she’s always been kinda ripped” because her beautiful Mom Fluff™ only serves to enhance and protect her Strong Mom Muscles™

Toshi kinda dies

me hanging out with black people in the summer: “aye, yall don’t forget to put on sunscreen”

them: 

@flipflibberinflippinghell

Use the Walgreens Brand which is pretty cheap and it does wonders and doesn’t leave me with a white cast. And I’m dark as hell so I hate looking ashy but not all sunscreens are made equally and it’s one of the better ones I’ve used.

Wait cocoa/shea butter and coconut oil don’t protect you from the sun we really do need sunscreen??

Yea fam. All that “we don’t need sunscreen” shit is a myth. Combine that with the fact that most dermatologists don’t know how to spot skin cancer in Black people and it’s a nasty combination.

Yeah, it’s harder for us to get it but when we do it’s deadly. I know two people who died of skin cancer, both were Black.

“While incidence of melanoma is higher in the Caucasian population, a July 2016 study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology showed it is more deadly in people of color. African American patients were most likely to be diagnosed with melanoma in its later stages than any other group in the study, and they also had the worst prognosis and the lowest overall survival rate.”

Sorry about the link, I’m on mobile. But this is from August 2016, which I know isn’t the most recent but it’s still SUPER IMPORTANT. Y’all please wear sunscreen. With Google it’s even easy to find smaller, Black-owned brands.

https://blackgirlsunscreen.com/ is Black-owned!

If you don’t want to use sunscreen, shea butter works as one.

Only if you want something with low spf. If you want something with a higher spf(like 30+) then you need sunscreen.

I’m a sunscreen junkie. The Japanese ones are the best. You can get them off Amazon…most have no white cast. And they are SPF 50. You have to do a little homework but there are plenty of inexpensive choices. Please don’t rely on an oil or shea butter. You’re playing yourself. If you Google skin cancer you won’t find any pictures of Black skin. Most dermatologists have no idea how to spot it because they aren’t trained. So do yourself a favor and wear it every day! Don’t let this lie about out magical melanin let you get caught out there without protection. I read that darker skin can have a natural SPF of 13 but that obviously isn’t sufficient enough since you need at least 30 to offer real protection. And the Japanese ones have UVB (protects against burning) and UVA (protects against premature aging) and are regulated better than the U.S. ones. And they are cosmetically better feeling.

Reblog if you are a greedy gay hoarding refracted light all for your greedy gay self

I totally am, but also: I have a story. The time: 1995. The place: a small liberal arts college. We decided to participate in “denim day” which was a widespread event wherein on National Coming Out Day, you would wear denim to indicate SUPPORT FOR the LGBT community. Our support group made posters that were very, very clear about this. Wearing denim did not mean that you were coming out, it meant you supported anyone around you who might.

I have never seen so many suits and khakis IN MY LIFE. People who accidentally wore jeans went home and changed.

The community took it as a rebuke. We drew in closer to eachother, and felt unwelcome everywhere we thought we had friends before.

And I had people later tell me “You know I support you, just… I didn’t want anyone to think I was.” First off, I DON’T know you support me. Not if you refuse to, for one day, change nothing about your life to show it. Second off… why is that such a terrifying thought to you?

I remember before rainbows were a “gay thing”. They were everywhere. Church walls next to arks. School walls next to sunshine faces. People have VOLUNTARILY abandoned every other use. I have HEARD PEOPLE SAY they just couldn’t use rainbows anymore because people would think of “gay stuff.”

So I know this is a joke, and a stolen one at that, but you’ve done this to yourselves. If someone is so terrified of being perceived as queer that they will INSTANTLY abandon something they like if it has queer germs on it now or something, then they don’t deserve refracted light.

Maybe help us change the world into a place where being mistaken for queer would be just a thing to chuckle about and you can have refracted light back.

The LGBTQ+ community didn’t steal the rainbow. The straights abandoned it.
