“New Fionna and Cake? Yes, there’ll be another episode down the line starring Marshall Lee. It’s awesome… Rebecca Sugar and Cole Sanchez wrote it… it’s super funny and super sweet and has really nice songs in it that Rebecca wrote. I hope y’all like it.”

-Pendleton Ward, creator of Adventure Time

This is a First Lady Michelle Obama appreciation post, prompted by a racist bigot classmate of mine, who called her ugly, obnoxious, and undignified. I don’t care about discussing politics here on my tumblr, but I do care about posting various pictures of one of the most beautiful, intelligent, and dignified First Ladies the USA has ever had the pleasure of gracing the White House.

Haters to the left.

My First Lady is beautiful. Give me a shoe to throw at your classmate.

Translation: “ugly” = not white. “obnoxious” = not willing hide her educated opinion in order to not make you feel stupid. “undignified” = wasn’t born into wealth = she had to work to get where she is.

people show ALL of their isms with their descriptions of others.

Wow

Today I gave away about fifteen books from my personal library. It was oddly liberating. I’m such a book horde but for some reason I felt inclined to give a good chunk away. My cousin is an avid reader as well so I know she’ll take good care of them. And the way yet eyes lit up when I offered her the box full of books…it was all worth it. It did my heart good to make her happy :) I knowwww I’m such a sap, but I do love helping others get their literacy on.
