Happy birthday to historyMAKER Maya Angelou! We teamed up with artist Kimothy Joy to bring one of the iconic poet’s most famous works, *Still I Rise*, to life. In honor of National Poetry Month, we’re featuring illustrated works of other great female poets on our website— follow the link below to check them out.
Today we celebrate the birth of Maya Angelou, whose words inspired and continue to inspire a generation. Our designer, Nathalie Gonzalez (http://nathaliegonzalez.com/), paid homage to the iconic poet and civil rights activist in this vibrant illustration. Check out our website for more on Maya Angelou’s legacy.
Well, almost. Mark your calendars and grab your sippy cups, thirst-buckets, because there’s a new episode the best podcast in the world, Thirst Aid Kit, THISTHURSDAY. Yup. MARCH 29. Look up at that photo again. See how happy our tongues are? That’s really real, friends!
This season we will have all your faves: entirely innocent scenarios made filthy via [REDACTED], detailed analysis of the hows and whys we still fancy these men (in this economy?), hilarious guests, steamy drabbles (mostly all Nichole, tbh) in Fanfic Wars, laser-accurate Thirst Sommelier recommendations and everything else in between. There may be a celebrity guest at some point. We may have Bridget rustle us up a new fuck poem. Basically, we are looking to keep our thirsty Sauron-like eye on all matters thirst and we want you to come along with us. Remember: this is a “headphones recommended” podcast. 👀

winstoncduke: “Antagonists” challenging established norms and expectations…! blackpanther is officially the highest grossing comic book film in U.S. history. This is what that looks like: these faces, these shapes, these genders, these lineages. #BeTheAntagonist.
Yes it’s a real service. I do volunteer work for a rape crisis support service in my city and texting is one of the features we provide as well. But just to boost its credibility, I tried it myself:
