“We met online.”
How was the first date?
“We went to a movie. Typical. Then we went to a bar…”
“And now we’re here.”
Why choose city hall to get married?
“Because we want a million dollar wedding and we’re not millionaires yet. That’s in the future so we’re getting this out of the way.”
If you could have your first dance right now, what song would play in the background?
Describe each other in three words.
“Amazing. Passionate. Beautiful.”
“The love of my life, I mean that’s not one word but it sums it all up.”

I’m just done. Absolutely fucking done. The police executed another Black man tonight in Minnesota, as he attempted to comply with orders to produce an ID. He told officers that he had both a gun and conceal carry permit, but that he was reaching solely for his wallet.
Philando Castile had a clean record according to his girlfriend, and worked in the public school system. He was murdered by police as his 4-year old daughter sat in the back seat. His courageous girlfriend did something I don’t have words for–she filmed the scene as Phil Castile bled out, while the pig did nothing to save the man he just shot point blank. The video streamed live on Facebook, but has since been taken down. It is still circulating on social media, however I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND watching it. It’s very graphic and triggering.
We didn’t even get a full 24-hours to mourn Alton Sterling before the murderous thugs stole another life. It’s beyond Black Lives Matter now. We need a revolution, we need liberation, by any means necessary. #farfromover

I am all about celebration and joy and escaping the harshness of life… But I can’t make another post about confetti, rainbows or outfits without acknowledging the fact that two more black men were murdered by the very people who were sworn to keep them safe. How is this even real? Currently heartbroken for loved ones of both #PhilandoCastile and #AltonSterling and terrified for every man in my family. 💔 #blacklivesmatter #stopshootingus
Bottled water donations in Flint, Michigan have plummetted, but the crisis remains
Months after massive water contamination in the city of Flint, Michigan drew national headlines, residents in the area are still relying on bottled water — but donations of purified, filtered water are limited. New statistics show that donations have decreased by an alarming percentage.
The Mic article doesn’t contain any information on how you can help–donate at the Flint Water Fund: http://www.unitedwaygenesee.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=5.
