So I’m in the library,studying,and my tummy is making earthquake noises. The guy next to me is giving me funny looks. Why me.?
“somebody loves you if they don’t mind the quiet. they don’t mind running errands with you or cleaning your apartment while blasting some annoying music. there’s no pressure, no need to fill the silences. you know how with some of your friends there needs to be some sort of activity for you to hang out? you don’t feel comfortable just shooting the shit and watching bad reality TV with them. you need something that will keep the both of you busy to ensure there won’t be a void. that’s not love. that’s “hey babe! i like you okay. do you wanna grab lunch? i think we have enough to talk about to fill two hours!” it’s a damn dream when you find someone you can do nothing with. whether you’re skydiving together or sitting at home and doing different things, it’s always comfortable. that is fucking love.” Deji Dada
Josephine Baker, later known as ‘Bronze Venus’, ‘Black Pearl’ and ‘Créole Goddess’ was born in America in 1906 and later moved to France to become a singer, dancer, and actress. She was the first African-American woman to star in a major motion picture, and became famous worldwide.
Though she grew up as a maid in wealthy white households she eventually became an exotic dancer in France, famously appearing in next to no clothing, and became a French citizen in 1937.
Ernest Hemingway referred to Baker as ‘the most sensational woman anyone ever saw’ and she received approximately 1500 marriage proposals in her life time. She became a muse for Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Pablo Picasso, and Christian Dior. She had a variety of exotic pets including a cheetah named Chiquita, a chimpanzee named Ethel, a pig named Albert, a snake named Kiki, a goat, a parrot, parakeets, fish, three cats, and seven dogs.
When WWII broke out, Baker became a volunteer spy for France, and assisted the French Resistance by smuggling messages written in invisible ink on sheet music. She made great efforts to aid those in danger of enemy attack, sent Christmas presents to French soldiers, and smuggled information she gathered in Spain back to France by pinning notes containing the information on the inside of her underwear. She was awarded the Medal of Resistance with Rosette and later named a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour.
Baker also aided many civil rights movements by refusing to perform to segregated audiences and storming out of a club in Manhattan with actress Grace Kelly after she was refused service. She worked with the NAACP and spoke at a Washington march alongside Martin Luther King Jr. as the only official female speaker. Baker was actually asked by Martin Luther King Jr.’s widow to take his place as leader of the American Civil Rights Movement, but Baker declined on the grounds her twelve adopted children ‘were too young to lose their mother’.
Baker died in 1975, four days after her final show, attended by such names as Mick Jagger, Shirley Bassey, and Liza Minnelli.
Oh and she was queer and had a relationship with Frida Kahlo. All around badass.

It’s funny because it’s Jared Padalecki.
it’s even funnier because he’s eating a salad
It’s even funnier because his character’s name is Dean
even funnier because he worked at Moose’s Market
it was foreshadowing
