“Wait for the handshake. The rules of a handshake have changed as more women have entered the workforce. Normally, two men should shake firmly. Beyond that, you’ll have to use your judgement. Don’t crush a person’s hand. Practice with male and female friends. Found here while preparing for a job interview.”
What on earth does this even MEAN? Why does my presence, as a woman, throw the auto-handshake rule out the window? Is the writer afraid my dainty little lady hand might get crushed, or…? What?

Excellent. I’m copying this onto an index card and keeping it in my wallet.
An interesting way of looking at it.
This is funny to me now, but when I was younger (like 12ish) I HATED my knees. To the point where I would wear long pants year-round to avoid letting anyone see them. I thought I was fat because my knee dimples looked like “little faces” and I would have given ANYTHING to get rid of them.
Unlike the beautiful 6-year old Jonbenett Ramsey who received coverage all over the media - every tabloid, newspaper, news channel, talk show, 7-year old Aiyana Stanley was killed by a police officer during a raid while she was sleep and her murder received very little coverage.
Police, searching for a murder suspect, threw a flash grenade through the window of her family’s apartment around midnight. According to Aiyana’s father, it landed on the couch, setting Aiyana on fire. A police officer’s gun then went off, and shot Aiyana in the neck.
Aiyana was asleep on the living room sofa in her family’s apartment when Detroit police, searching for a homicide suspect, burst in and an officer’s gun went off, fatally striking the girl in the neck, family members said.
Her father, 25-year-old Charles Jones, told The Detroit News he had just gone to bed early Sunday after covering his daughter with her favorite blanket when he heard a flash grenade followed by a gunshot. When he rushed into the living room, he said, police forced him to lie on the ground, with his face in his daughter’s blood.
“I’ll never be the same. That’s my only daughter,” Jones told.
We haven’t forgotten about you baby. R.I.P.
WHAT THE FUCK.
FUCK EVERYTHING.
As I said in a previous post: it doesn’t take a study to show that racism and violence towards people of color is prevalent in our society. It’s time to stop studying the problem and start doing something about it.
Reblogging because we HAVE TO talk about these awful events, have to be aware of the horrible things that happen to innocent people. Yes, even children; yes, even in America. It makes me sick but we have to talk about this.
<3 Love this poster series!
