Apparently my brother has a doppleganger that he met playing ultimate frisbee while wearing a shirt with a picture of his own face on it.  People ask if they’re brothers or twins, all the time lol.  His name escapes me at the moment but my other brother dances way better than the first one.

My cousin met his wife playing ultimate frisbee. They invited the whole team to their wedding. When we got to the church the usher asked us ““Bride, Groom, or Frisbee?”

The International Phonetic Alphabet consonants found in English, with keywords and relevant parts of the mouth highlighted and colour-coded. (Source.) 

Pronouncing each of these in sequence is a very strange and amusing physical sensation, and I highly recommend it.

haha look it’s where those noises live in your dang FACE, TRY IT

This is cool, but my first thought was “Those microbreweries come up with weirder names all the time.”

They exist in Haiti. Thats how my great great great grandfather died.

Wait hold on someone explain this to me I’m so lost lol

The belief is Haiti is that certain women can live under water and will lived there for years… These women are extremely beautiful and men being men can’t stay away from a good looking women are seduce and then dragged under water and are never to be seen again… My great grandmother was one of these women… One day her mother sent her to go get water from the river and she never came back 10 years later they see her come up the road in all white with beautiful jewelry all around her body sing up a storm.. When her family asked her where she was she told them she was under water… thats the story my grandma always use to tell me growing up

Wow

Sounds like daughters of Yoruba goddess

I love African and African Diasporan mythology.

we call them “river mumma” in Jamaica

I NEED MORE MYTHOLOGY INVOLVING BLACK CULTURES IN THE DIASPORA.

We call the “mammi water” in Nigeria

I want to write about this.

Always Reblog Black Mermaids

@kendrawriter please write about them

I think there’s at least one Nalo Hopkinson story based on this.
