KINGFISH

Q: Why didn't you make sure that Yuri was dead? It's a pretty big failure for a genius like you, don't you think?

The history

If you haven't, follow a Black American creator* on here! If you follow a Black American creator* already, make sure to share their creations and share why you appreciate them! If you've got any Black American friends, make sure to tell them Happy Juneteenth!

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

I don’t know how much longer I can keep begging. For days, I have been posting, sharing, and asking for help, hoping that someone would hear my cry. My mother and father are elderly, their health is getting worse, and they urgently need their medication. We still need $477, and time is running out.😔

The Tumblr account I relied on to reach people was deleted, and it felt like another door closing in my face. I am exhausted, scared, and carrying a weight that feels impossible to bear. All I want is to get the medicine my parents need before their condition becomes even worse.💔

If only 19 people donate $25, we can reach the goal. We can do this together. Please don’t scroll away. What may seem like a small amount to you could mean everything to my family 😔💔

I have been pleading for days because I have no other choice. My parents spent their lives loving me, protecting me, and sacrificing for me. Now they need help, and I cannot bear the thought of losing them because I couldn’t afford their medication. Please, from the bottom of my heart, donate if you can and share our story if you cannot. Every minute matters, and every act of kindness brings us one step closer to saving my mother and father 🙏💔😔
