You are not defined by your worst decision, biggest mistake or most embarrassing day. You’re more than your health issues, job status or ability to produce for capitalism. We’re all doing our best to survive… and you are worth it just as you are.

Singer, songwriter, and guitarist Sister Rosetta Tharpe died #OTD in 1973. The original #soul sister & "Godmother of Rock & Roll" influenced many including Little Richard, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley & Jerry Lee Lewis. 😮 Great balls of fire! #MusicHistory #Music

A classic black-and-white photograph of Sister Rosetta Tharpe (1915–1973), the pioneering gospel singer, guitarist, and "Godmother of Rock 'n' Roll." Captured mid-performance in a nightclub or studio setting (likely 1940s–1950s), she leans into a vintage microphone with a radiant, joyful smile—eyes sparkling upward in ecstasy, mouth open wide in song or laughter, conveying pure passion and energy. Her dark hair is styled in elegant curls with a small decorative bow or flower accent. She wears a light-colored dress with voluminous, sheer puffed sleeves, a high neckline, and a large bow at the neck, giving her an elegant yet exuberant stage presence. In her hands she cradles a white guitar, fingers poised on the fretboard as she plays. The background shows a draped curtain and soft stage lighting, emphasizing her dynamic pose and the fusion of sacred gospel with secular rhythm that defined her groundbreaking career. This iconic image captures Tharpe's revolutionary influence—blending gospel with early rock 'n' roll guitar techniques, influencing artists like Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard, and becoming one of the first major Black female stars to cross over into mainstream popularity while remaining rooted in her faith.

Dog Shark 🦈🐶 Carcharocanis familiaris, commonly known as "Shark Puppies", are your best friend from the ocean! #Sharktober2026

A large illustration featuring various "shark-puppies" of different shark species in a variety of poses. They are shown in curious and happy stances, running, sniffing, acting playful, and more!

Below the image, there is a description styled like a scientific species illustration, naming them "Carcharocanis familiaris". This name combines Carcharodon (the genus that includes great white sharks) with Canis (the genus that includes dogs), plus Familiaris to indicate they are domesticated.

I sometimes use adhd meds at night, usually around 9pm if know I won’t be asleep by 1am. I don’t notice it causing more issues. I have a 4 hour one so I often crash when it wears off which is fine by me when I take it late. Maybe it would work for you, too?

A tumblr screenshot showing a post and two reblog responses, reading:
1. "star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you'd explain your situation and they'd be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system's icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home"
2. "I'm from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction." Benjamin Sisko, nodding. "That happened to me once."
3. "I Got Isekaid Into The Star Trek Universe And They Quickly Understood What Was Happening"

A Red Squirrel close up, standing on a wooden handrail in the forest. The animal is in the bottom left of the shot with its right side showing. Its head, chest, back and arms can be seen.
It has red fur, a little darker at the top of its head. It has a beige coloured eye ring and muzzle, its long whiskers can be seen against the background. The long claws and black finger pads of the left hand can be seen below its body, the right hand is out of frame.
Two thin stems of willow are growing behind and above the animal, dark green and with leaves either side.
In the background the wooden railing and steel joining plate can be seen continuing; both out of focus.

The crescent moon takes a break from its celestial journeys to rest in the arms of an accommodating tree. Whilst taking a rest it visits with a favourite earthling: a cat. The cat sits at the base of the tree in a pool of moonlight and stares up at his friend.
