Gymnastics has come a long compared to that old footage, but this difference is particularly significant for black girls! Because they have never taken seriously our abilities! Just because the color of our skin is not what they want to see!
Simone Biles’s fantastic performance has been covered by many news outlets all these years! Now we can see the real difference!

Amigurimi are small, crochet or knit toys, usually made to resemble animals or inanimate objects, usually with human features, like faces. It’s a Japanese art form, and it’s about the most fun I can ever imagine having with yarn. And they are just so darn cute!
As I started collecting patterns on Pinterest, I came across quite a few that I thought would be of interest to my fellow book fiends and yarn enthusiasts, and I’ve pulled them together here for you to gawk at.
Someone make me these!
It’s Olympic season, and here in the USA we are thrilled about the newly named gymnastics team. Both the women’s and men’s teams are strong and fearless, and I can’t wait to watch the competitions while biting my nails, holding my breath, and probably sometimes shielding my eyes.
As I wait for the Rio Olympics to begin, I’ll be reading all I can about gymnastics. Join me with this list of gymnastics books for all ages!

My parents live in this town and the city legally can’t tear the tree down to build or anything because the tree has its own legal rights and they can’t do anything about it.
how does. how does this happen. how DID this happen
I love this story because this guy in the early 1800’s had so many great childhood memories of this tree and wanted to make sure it was protected no matter what. So he deeded the ownership of the tree to itself and everyone just went with it.
Then in 1942 this intense windstorm came and knocked the tree over. And people were bummed. But someone had saved an acorn from the original tree, so they planted that and now Son of the Tree That Owns Itself is over 50 feet tall.
And since this new tree is technically the offspring of the original tree it’s considered to have legally inherited the plot of land it’s inhabiting.
Two generations of trees owning land is amazing and if you don’t think this is the coolest thing get right out of my face.
