the jonas brothers paved the way for other boy bands. the jonas brothers got rid of the whole idea that choreographed dancing makes a boy band. they played REAL instruments. gave us hit after hit. when you look me in the eyes made every girl age 7-87 swoon. burnin up not only was a summer hit but also started the iconic niley/nelena love triangle. lovebug made every girl from age 7-87 swoon AGAIN. fly with me made us all nick stans for a month. they werent just musicians tho, they were ACTORS, PERFORMERS, and SONGWRITERS as well. gave us camp rock, camp rock 2, jonas, and jonas l.a. their 3D concer experience was a moment in time no one can recreate. nick doing a backhand spring during the instrumental break during Goodnight and Goodbye? bringing big rob out for his verse in burnin up? bringing out water guns and soaking the crowd? they knew how to put on a SHOW. not only did they write their own music from the START but also wrote on demi lovatos debut album. they were the biggest boy band of our generation and it is time for EVERYONE to recognize that.
What she means: Selena Qunitanilla single handedly smashed the patriarchy of tenjano music by becoming the highest selling artist in a male dominated music genre, won a Grammy, started her own clothing line of Latin inspired designs and patterns, this woman was a trend setter in fashion, music, dance, and was the light of so many people’s lives and if she were still alive today she would be no doubt one of the most iconic singers/fashion designers of our era. In fact, she was so iconic during her lifetime, that the state of Texas continues to observe her birthday as “Selena Day”, her biopic staring Jennifer Lopez continues to play every year around that time, and there’s a Selena museum dedicated to her life, displaying her most iconic garments she wore during her many performances. She made her family proud, she made the Latino community proud, Chorpus Christi proud, shit she makes me, a non Latina African American proud, she is an icon. An ICON. ICONIC.
Clothing is plentiful in the donation world, thank you. It is daunting for them at first, wait 3 weeks and send some then.
Hygiene items are needed ASAP
Often forgotten things
Diapers for adults, pad, tampons, lip balm, diaper rash cream, breast milk pumps, cream for breasts during breast feeding, Pedialite (there will be sick babies) Ensure for adults who need that kind of supplement (the elderly), pet food, poop bags for pet waste, tooth brushes, tooth paste, bars of soap, hand sanitizer, hand lotion.
Immediate clothing need - new unopened packs of socks and undies, every size you can think of.
Our particular shelter had a need for plus sized (big and tall) man’s clothing, luckily I knew a guy and we filled that one need, but these are the often forgotten clothing sizes. Look for churches that have an address and buy some of the inexpensive specialty size clothes on Amazon and have them ship direct.
This is a PSA from someone who is tired of being familiar with hurricane relief.
remember in School of Rock where the black girl was afraid to say she wanted to be a singer because she was fat and didn’t want to get laughed at but Dewey was all “who gives a shit, I’m fat too and so is aretha franklin but we’re still valuable and we rock” and then the girl felt better without having to be told that beauty comes in all sizes or some other bullshit. thats the kind of body positivity I’m looking for. tell these babies that they’re worth a damn without tying it to any other arbitrary ideals
You didn’t want us. That’s not true. I remember when Mom first walked through the door with the two of you. You ran right over to me and you leapt into my arms. You bonded with me instantly, and it made me a little uncomfortable. Oh, so you just didn’t want me? No. It made me uncomfortable because my own mother was never very affectionate with me. Grandma? She softened up over the years, but she just wasn’t nurturing in that way.
And when I looked at you, I saw me as that little girl who yearned for her mom to hold her and comfort her. And I guess it scared me a little, and it made me sad. And then one night, you had a bad dream. You woke up crying, and I came into this room and I held you and my heart broke right open. I felt so much love for you and so much compassion. And I realized, in that moment that this sweet, sweet little girl was sent to me. She was sent to me to heal my little girl inside.
