For people who still don’t see anything wrong with cultural appropriation, who still call cornrows “boxer braids”, “Kim K braids” or whatever - our cornrows symbolize liberation and freedom, it’s not your trendy hairstyle, it actually does have a history.

Since slaves were never taught to write and drawing directions was dangerous, because they could lead to them being discovered, captured, sold again or even killed by their master.

To reduce the risk of being discovered, women started weaving the maps in their hair, carving out paths with their cornrows. Some of the patterns even had hidden messages!

Yes, braiding existed in Africa way before, but it got a whole new meaning when Europeans enslaved millions of people. So next time you decide to go for a “Kim K look”, do a little research before you end up disrespecting someone’s culture and just, in all honesty, looking silly.

HEY YOU!

Do you have an obsession with Ace Attorney? At least mild respect (or fear) for Miles Edgeworth? An inability to focus on your tasks? All of the above? Well I have just the thing for you!!

For the low price of opening it on your web browser of choice, you can use my handy dandy program I’m tentatively calling “Miles Edgeworth Glares At You For Being On Your Phone Instead Of Working”

Features include setting a timer(wow!), victory music, and an image of one very angry looking prosecutor! That’s more than one feature!

Miles Edgeworth's annoyed sprite in his office. There is a button that says "Set Timer" and a small box that says "Timer" in the top left corner

Try it out today!!

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1094448355

EDIT(again!): all prosecutors from the first two trilogies have been added! I’ll work on adding prequel prosecutors (as well as a show/hide spoilers button) tomorrow :3

I’ve come to make an announcement: Gordon Freeman’s a bitch-ass motherfucker. He pissed on my fucking passport. That’s right. He took his scientist fuckin’ physics dick out and he pissed on my FUCKING passport, and he said his dick was THIS BIG, and I said that’s disgusting. So I’m making a callout post on my Wikipedia.com. Gordon Freeman, you got a small dick. It’s the size of this soda can except WAY smaller. And guess what? Here’s what my dong looks like. That’s right, baby. Tall math, no science, no missing hand, look at that, it looks like two balls and a bong. He fucked my passport, so guess what, I’m gonna fuck your feet. That’s right, this is what you get! My SUPER LASER DICK! Except I’m not gonna piss on your feet. I’m gonna go higher. I’m pissing on the HEV SUIT! How do you like that, GMAN? I PISSED ON THE HEV SUIT, YOU IDIOT! You have twenty-three hours before the piss DROPLETS hit the fucking Black Mesa test facility, now get out of my fucking sight before I piss on you too!
