Rio de Janeiro, Brazil | Victor Vieira

Brazilian fashion photographer Victor Vieira launches an editorial every November to praise black empowerment and beauty in Brazil. November is #NovembroNegro, or “Black November”, Brazil’s Black awareness and resistance month.

These images are from his 2018 editorial called IMPÉRIO (EMPIRE). It was released on November 20, Brazil’s Black Awareness Day (Portuguese: Dia da Consciência Negra).

Vieira states that “the goal with the EMPIRE editorial was very objective and characteristic. It was to show that everything that we have been through wasn’t able to erase our history.” (x)

Yesterday me and my mom had a serious conversation about changing majors in university. She was supporting me when I told her I was thinking about giving up and studying something that isn’t as personal to me as my art is. Today I changed my mind and decided to fight for my dream. 

Negative memories are always heavier than positive ones. I barely remember when people say positive things about me and my art, even thoght it happens a lot. 
Sometimes you don’t remember the good moments… but even the bad memories can push you to become more confident again. 

I am an Artist. I do what I love. And even tho it’s so fucking scary to me, I just don’t want to give up what I dreamed for my whole life. Just because some stupid boy made fun of me in 8th grade.

Please don’t judge me if I wrote something wrong. I am not a native english speaker and I am trying my best haha. 

✊ Today is an Internet-wide day of action for net neutrality ✊

fight4future:

There’s been a major development over the past 24 hours: another member of Congress just came out in support of the House Congressional Review Act resolution to overturn FCC Chairman Ajit Pai’s net neutrality repeal.

This is a big deal and could help push other lawmakers do the same, but we have to act fast because the deadline is just over a week away.

Today is a massive day of action to show lawmakers that people still care about net neutrality so we’re asking everyone to click here and tell Congress not to let their chance to save net neutrality slip away.

We’ve been fighting for months without seeing any movement in Congress, watching the clock ticking down to the deadline. But Rep Joe Morelle (NY-25) his support for the Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution could change that.

If we act fast, we can leverage this new momentum to unleash a small landslide of other representatives coming out for net neutrality before the December 10th deadline, which will make a huge difference in the battles ahead.

Today we’re asking the entire Internet to sign this open letter to Congress telling them to do the right thing and support net neutrality before it’s too late.

Your voice matters. As part of today’s Internet-wide day of action, thousands of others are speaking out, along with celebrities, musicians, and websites like Tumblr, Postmates and Etsy.

You can join them and show your support for net neutrality by submitting an ‘I support net neutrality’ photo. We will be flooding lawmakers’ social media feeds with pictures, so if they decide to vote against the open Internet we will make them look us in the eye as they do it.

Click here to sign our open letter and then submit your ‘I support net neutrality’ photo into our gallery:

We can’t let this deadline come and go without making Congress remember that the whole Internet is watching. We’re still fighting for net neutrality. And we won’t forget if they betray us.

Tell everyone you know to take action at DeadlineForNetNeutrality.com and spread the word any way you can. Click here to find ideas on how you can use your slice of the Internet – whether that’s your Tumblr blog, a website you run, or any of your social media accounts – to help get the word out. We’re counting on you!

tips for walking in an abandoned graveyard

  • if it’s dark, don’t shine your flashlight into the trees.
  • if a child approaches and asks you a question, don’t tell the truth.
  • you may find some harrowing artifacts (i found a ribbon on a tree and some bible pages) pick these up and keep them. they belong to you.
  • if you walk down a long, straight pathway, you will feel someone behind you. don’t look
  • you may see people in your peripheral vision; these are the spirits. they won’t hurt you.
  • if you wish to communicate with the spirits, do not do it alone. cast a protection circle. only ask polite questions.
  • you will feel bursts of dread and terror. ignore them.
  • don’t read too much into what the graves say. some things are best left unsolved.
  • research the history of the graveyard beforehand. you need to know what you might encounter.
  • some beings may not want you to leave. should you come into contact with one of these beings, leave immediately.
  • don’t read the hidden graves.
  • if you find a headless angel statue, don’t look for her head.
  • if you find a tipped over angel statue, leave her be. she’s only resting.
  • don’t listen to music. this will distract you from them.
  • don’t look in the bushes. you will find something that you weren’t supposed to.
