Logan somehow got the students at Xavier’s to call Gambit “Père LeBeau”. In retaliation, Remy got everyone to call Logan “Grandpère Howlett.”
“I want to be a hematologist. That’s a blood doctor. Well not a blood doctor, exactly. But a doctor that finds cures for blood diseases.”
“How’d you decide on that?”
“We were dissecting frogs in class and learning about how the blood flows through the body. And I went home that night and wrote an essay. And it wasn’t like any other essay I’d ever done. Normally when I write essays, it takes me a long time, but this was the fastest essay I ever wrote. So the next day I was asking the teacher mad questions, and she was like, ‘You know you can get a job in this.’ And she pulled it up on the internet, and was showing me all about hematologists.”SUPPORT THIS BOY

i do not have to choose between beauty and bravery.
there is no correlation between my bust line
and the size of my heart.
i am both a woman and a soldier,
with all the more strength because of it.
karaceae asked: Top six favorite qualities in a friend.
- honesty/loyalty (don’t go talking shit behind my back or making up reasons why you can’t hang out. literally i never fight with my friends because if someone gossips a lot or lies a lot i just flat out drop them cause i so do not need that negativity in my life)
- good sense of humor (sarcasm in particular)
- educated (not so much that they are smart, but more that they are aware of what’s going on in the world and can hold a conversation about it, or else they know that they aren’t aware and don’t get into arguments about things they don’t know about. if you argue with me about politics and you have an opinion but don’t understand what you’re talking about i will get angry and i will crush you)
- open minded (personally i’ve lived a rather sheltered life, but if you can’t be accepting of or at least try to understand people who are different than you, and you are unwilling to hear other people’s thoughts and opinions on things, i want no part of that. Plus having conversations with open minded, well educated people is seriously the best thing ever.)
- chill (i am already high strung enough so i like to surround myself with people who are/can be calm and we can just hang out and not really do anything and it’s fine)
- nice (don’t be an asshole. just don’t)

This was one hell of an eye opener

Nobody’s immune to breast cancer.
Best. Ever.
Get that on your blogs. NOW.putting this on my blog for reasons.
Reblogging for similar reasons.
[This is fucking awesome.]
OOC: Very good idea!!
still my fav
OKAY LISTEN UP BECAUSE THERE IS SOMETHING SUPER IMPORTANT ABOUT THIS CAMPAIGN AND MOST OF YOU PROBABLY DON’T KNOW
It’s the inclusion of Storm. (Storm? Pretty sure that’s Storm.) And in a way where, yes, representation saves lives.
See, here’s a weird medical fact: black women are more likely to get breast cancer and nobody knows why. It’s a medical mystery. Now, I want you to do a fun exercise: tell me the last time you saw a breast cancer awareness campaign that included black women. Go on, I’ll wait. Speaking as someone active with the cause whose aunt is even more active with the cause, here’s my answer: In eight years of working for awareness across four states, I have never seen a single black woman in any breast cancer campaign. Ever.
Black women are also more likely to die of breast cancer because they’re less likely to catch it early. That’s not genetics, that’s math. The sooner you begin treatment, the better your prognosis. Black women are less likely to know how to do self-exams and because of the socioeconomic divide, less likely to see an OB/GYN annually. And they’re ignored by awareness campaigns.
Tell your black friends. And spread this like wildfire. Because they are more at risk than you are.
