ngl the most important thing i was taught growing up was that its not enough to just be anti racist but to also be pro black

hating racists is good ! but if youre only hating the oppressor and not uplifting the oppressed all you are doing is using a performative method to direct your anger at. being angry is good, but its not enough. you have to love too. uplift the ones that should be uplifted. celebrate black art and culture and people. celebrate blackness for the beauty it is

unavoidable that you will be the villain in someone else's story. You will be painted in an unfavorable light. You will be the irredeemable one. and all of this will happen despite how nice you might usually be or how kind or how respectful or how warm. and you will just have to move on.

Never before has an animal’s face so clearly expressed “You think you’re hilarious, don’t you?”

it has gotten better before. it will get better again. and again and again and again.

I haven’t gone a day without thinking of you ever since our very first conversation
