If @JohnBoyega an actor who is excelling at the game, extremely successful (rightly so) is worried he may never work again by calling out racism just imagine how the rest of us feel when we need to speak the truth. #BlackLivesMatter.

“Ruta Skadi was four hundred and sixteen years old, with all the pride and knowledge of an adult witch-queen. She was wiser by far than any short-lived human.”. Introducing @JadeAnouka as Ruta Skadi.

I’ve seen great talent fall by the wayside. I’ve seen lesser talent boss their industry. I’ve seen talented but NOT NICE fuckers do amazingly well. But every so often I see a talented, truly wonderful human get the recognition they deserve & it fills me with love, joy & hope.

That is the bisexual flag. Bi is the sexuality box that fits me the best(Because we all love to be squashed into boxes)Many already knew this about me. Some probably thought they definitely KNEW I was straight or maybe you thought I was a lesbian or most likely you didn’t care.1/.
