2. educate yourself

it isn’t enough to sign petitions and reblog/retweet/etc. nonblack people, including people of color, owe it to black people to educate themselves and correct themselves and the people around them on anti-blackness.

note: more links are in the masterposts linked below.

resources and tools regarding racism and anti-blackness (google sheets compilation)

readings on society, racism, the prison system, etc. (twitter thread)

3. give out supplies to protestors

people need supplies to protest safely, and even if they bring supplies with them, they can often run out. if you’re able, stock up and hand them out to people protesting. for more supplies to donate, see the “george floyd action” google docs link in section 5.

water bottles (dehydration and heatstroke are not things people should have to deal with alongside bastard cops. if the police in your area are particularly violent or known to use tear gas, get the ones with the sports cap/suction-thing/etc so people can use them as emergency eye-flushes.)

snacks (make sure to take into account that people have allergies of all sorts. foods will have a little label that says “may contain” and then list any potential allergens. write the allergens on the ziploc (or any container you use) in permanent marker, or better yet, write the snacks included in the pack.)

masks (don’t forget there’s still a pandemic going on. also it will aid in deterring facial recognition when the police try to track down protestors,  also part two, if the cops use tear gas, wearing a mask (with the combination of a scarf or bandana) will lessen the adverse effects. lessen, not stop.)

bandanas, scarves, etc. and goggles (ski goggles, swimming goggles, etc.) (see above for explanation on the scarves. same goes for the goggles. anti–tear gas and anti–facial recognition.)

clean shirts (for people who are heavily gassed. also helps deter recognition through clothing.)

wound care supplies (band-aids, packets of neosporin packets or a similar antibiotic, alcohol wipes, etc.; if you can, decant bactine into those little travel bottles.)

a sharpie or another type of marker (for writing bail numbers or emergency contacts on arms, hands, etc. it’s not enough to have your city’s bail fund number stored on your phone; the police won’t give it to you to look it up. give people a marker so they can write it down, preferably not washable so it isn’t easily removed.)

IMPORTANT: KNOWING FIRST AID

tear gas: if you’re hit, get out as fast and as soon as you can. take anyone you can with you. the longer you’re in the gas, the harder it will be for you to see, and it can irritate your airways, making it hard to breathe. if you’re hit, don’t run; it’ll only make things worse on your lungs. when you leave the area, take a cold shower. don’t use hot water (it will only reactivate the agent); don’t bathe (it will only spread the CS around). (source 1) (source 2) (cdc fact sheet on tear gas)

move them to a clean and ventilated area where it’s as safe as possible.

ask them if they’re wearing contact lenses. have them remove it. if they’re wearing glasses, rinse it with water.

solution of half liquid antacid, half water. spray from the inside going out, with the head tilted back and slightly towards the side being rinsed. if they say it’s okay, open the eye slightly while doing this. (source)

bullet wounds: the most important thing is to stop the bleeding. be sure to check for an exit wound and cover that as well. treat both wounds, but treat the worse one first.

first aid in active shooting scenarios

making a tourniquet (a commercial tourniquet is best, but improvised ones can work as well if done properly; the most important things to remember is that tourniquets are for limb injuries and are not meant for the head or torso and that they have to be very tightly wound on the injury.)

4. be a source of information

be responsible with this. people’s lives are at stake. that being said, the media is a fucking joke and the best way to get accurate information in a grassroots rebellion is amongst ourselves. record everything, but if you are going to share any information at all, be sure to blur people’s faces.

NUMBERS TO CALL FOR ARRESTED PROTESTORS (ALPHABETICAL ORDER; SOURCES LINKED TO THE NUMBER)

remember to keep phones OFF unless absolutely necessary. cell phone towers, stingrays, location notifs can all be used to track you and other protestors. don’t fuck around. if your phone must be on, keep it on airplane mode as often as possible and only communicate using encrypted methods. no, snapchat doesn’t count. (a twitter thread on stingrays, for those interested)

twitter thread for protestors (by vantaemuseum on twitter)

One of the greatest tricks to speed up your manifestation is to be grateful before any physical evidence. That’s how you magnify your power, that’s how you become a super-attractor. Everything is energy, everything is vibration, and when you embody the frequency of gratitude, suddenly everything becomes possible. 

Teach your body how to feel gratitude, teach every cell how to fully experience this state. Be grateful for everything, for your life, for your loved ones, for a cup of coffee, for the fact that you have a roof over your head. Gratitude is a magical frequency. It amplifies everything in your life. The more you embody this state, the better things you can attract into your life. 

ANYONE WHO REBLOGS AFTER WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL JULY TO GET THEIR DRAWINGS.

Artist me:Long brown hair, brown eyes, purple T-shirt(plain, or Mcr or metallica shirt) purple square glasses, red converse, black jeans. Gir(invader zim character) hat. Holding a small Asexual flag.

1. You have dreams of this person before you meet them, the dreams may be odd and you may not even be able to see this persons face but you will instantly recongize they are apart of your soul.

2. You will already feel as though this persons energy is always with you. 

3. You will expierience alot of deja vu and notice many more syncronicities and strange “coincidences” leading up to meeting this person.

4. You will respect this person immeditately, and you will trust them easier than you trust other people. Being yourself around this person will feel natural, and vice versa.

5. The connection is unlike any connection you ever felt. You will naturally have telepathic communication with this person. (if you have telepathic connections with others this one is magnified). This person helps you become your best self.

6. As wonderful as it can be to find your twin flame, it is not always rainbows and sunshine. You and this person will mirror eachocher in many ways (life expierences, morals, common interests, and even habits) so in turn you will eventually see eachothers shadows. Although you will mirror this person there will be differences between you.( The Sun & The Moon Energy.)

7. The work. Now you have met your twin flame and have fallen in love with eachother the real work will begin. Twin flames are put on this planet for a greater purpose to spread love and light. You and your twin flame will have to balance your Yin & Yang energy. There is much to learn on your journey.

8. Sepperation. This step is the hardest of all, but it is done for a reason. The sepperation timing can very different for everyone. This time is important away from your twin flame because there are somethings we can only face and over come on our own. Being away from your twin flame will suck, but you have to be able to know that you could be ok on your own.

9. Reconciliation. After time away from your twin flame you will reunite better than before! There is still alot of work to be done, but now you can work together. You and this person’s ultimate goal is to become your best self, and fulfill the personal life path you’ve both signed up for, helping this world become a better place.

2.  When we first started dating during the summer of 2019, there were breaks for sometimes days or weeks on end, but the absence of you being with me physically never made me feel like you were “gone” you were always with me. We were always connected and the more connected and focused i became on myself the more connected i felt to you.

We were always connected and the more connected and focused i became on myself the more connected i felt to you.

5. Nothing had ever felt as right as it did with you. Even while in separation you communicated to me telepathically, i knew you had parts of yourself that needed healing and only time and space would heal you, so thats what i give you, we love each other, thats what you do when you love someone. You give them something or do something that might not be what you want or what you need, but love is doing it for the truest and most pure purpose because you want whats best for the one you love.

6. We mirror each other in ways that sometimes trigger our inner-selves that still need healing and steer us in the direction of healing and recognizing the parts of ourself we have to change. We have the same experiences when it comes to complicated past marriages our parents had before we even existed, the complicated divorces and trauma we experienced when we did exsit, college, friends, all mirroring each other. Sometimes pulling us apart and sometimes pulling us back together after healing.

7. We have a purpose. You are the yin to my yang. We bring out the best in each other and also expose the parts of each other we need to heal in order to fully live.

8. The first few separation phases hurt more because i wasnt seeing the bigger picture. I was caught up in a mind set that i was not enough and if i had been different in some way i would be enough for you. But now the phases of separation bring clarity, realization, push me further on the choosing the right path and taking care of myself and the things i have to accomplish in order to become united with you whenever that shall be. I heal parts of myself, i see the bigger picture, i take care of the things that i must heal. Some day when we are the right versions of ourselves we will reunite and our union shall be brighter than ever.
