I post a lot of depressing stuff, I know. So since it’s New Year’s Eve and we’re all celebrating, let’s celebrate the human rights victories 2009 has brought. Below is a list of human rights cases that Amnesty International USA was directly involved with during 2009, all of which have become success stories. You can read more about each case here.

You are going to die alone! You will never be married! You will keep looking and find no one! You are doomed! The more education you get, the less likely you’ll end up with anyone! You should be thinking about this, constantly, even though you are only 22! You are too picky and should aim lower! Successful Black men don’t want you! Successful white men...

I’ve received one the greatest gifts a person can get. And that is to truly realize what’s important. Now I just have to grow a backbone and not be afraid to take necessary steps...

I think the time has come for me to sound off on all you children here on Tumblr, stealing MY culture. If you were born in the early 80s, or mid 80s, you know what I’m talking about.

1. If your throat tickles, scratch your ear. When you were 9, playing your armpit was a cool trick. Now, as an adult, you can still appreciate a good body-based feat, but you’re more discriminating. Take that tickle in your throat; it’s not worth gagging over. Here’s a better way to scratch your itch: “When the nerves in the ear are stimulated, it creates a reflex...
