From <em>Uncle Tom’s Cabin</em> to <em>Gone with the Wind</em> to <em>The Help</em> to <em>The Butler to </em>the evening news, most whites can only see us as either subservient to their needs, nursemaids to their well being, necessary for their superiority, or dangerous to their acquisition of property. The more selfless for their own benefit we appear, the more they believe things are just the way they’re supposed to be. They don’t allow us the complexity of a full human life; they would rather that our lives remain in the margins, expressed only in the most distorted and inaccurate of extremes.</p> </blockquote>http://medisonman.tumblr.com/post/50038108448http://medisonman.tumblr.com/post/50038108448Thu, 09 May 2013 16:35:17 -0500<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/DawrlSwHUiM?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/>http://medisonman.tumblr.com/post/50032934110http://medisonman.tumblr.com/post/50032934110Thu, 09 May 2013 15:26:39 -0500<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/qKlcyeWmSTc?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><span>Twice I turn my back on you</span><br/><span>I fell flat on my face but didn’t lose</span><br/><span>Tell me where would I go</span><br/><span>Tell me what led you on I’d love to know</span></p>http://medisonman.tumblr.com/post/50025455758http://medisonman.tumblr.com/post/50025455758Thu, 09 May 2013 13:29:48 -0500<iframe width="400" height="299" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3bYv2AKPZOk?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/>http://medisonman.tumblr.com/post/50015819465http://medisonman.tumblr.com/post/50015819465Thu, 09 May 2013 10:21:45 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/30e45a933d878fcb4225308958b6ebf6/tumblr_mmijxnUyis1qe097ko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Gabel battling to breath easy! 💪👑 (at Momma BaBa & Gabel’s Home)</p>http://medisonman.tumblr.com/post/49991149155http://medisonman.tumblr.com/post/49991149155Wed, 08 May 2013 23:17:47 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/670bfc862ef51ae5796309b7666e750c/tumblr_mmhtjq4EJU1qz6f9yo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/a38166373fd2d73a479d148e70d58554/tumblr_mmhtjq4EJU1qz6f9yo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ea4165d4685684d8e09a593ecb32a5a9/tumblr_mmhtjq4EJU1qz6f9yo5_400.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/27dce09d0789e63d54479176d7d3f87f/tumblr_mmhtjq4EJU1qz6f9yo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/9ab54904a728014d04d5c83a972012ab/tumblr_mmhtjq4EJU1qz6f9yo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/bf15401382047506a8f0964d0a9a88fa/tumblr_mmhtjq4EJU1qz6f9yo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://thisisnthappiness.com/post/49947730838/crop-it" target="_blank">nevver</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.drkrishi.com/cropping#.UYqdb7vLi8Q" target="_blank">Crop it</a></p> </blockquote>http://medisonman.tumblr.com/post/49947788079http://medisonman.tumblr.com/post/49947788079Wed, 08 May 2013 13:48:52 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/67d0226f42abee946561d76834aa54cf/tumblr_mmhirk9WwT1qe097ko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>more art in my mug…</p>http://medisonman.tumblr.com/post/49935610780http://medisonman.tumblr.com/post/49935610780Wed, 08 May 2013 09:54:55 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/4f68bf936c6b0ab037052e1bda06b573/tumblr_mmesmgIgGc1qe097ko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Watching “beauty is embarrassing” and dying…</p>http://medisonman.tumblr.com/post/49830672791http://medisonman.tumblr.com/post/49830672791Mon, 06 May 2013 22:35:04 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/a7405048204deee39df912f352d26fb6/tumblr_mme1hk3J3i1qe097ko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>i love her 💜🎃</p>http://medisonman.tumblr.com/post/49785433838http://medisonman.tumblr.com/post/49785433838Mon, 06 May 2013 12:48:56 -0500
