reblogging and adding this: bail fund for those protesting/getting arrested in minneapolis.

Being anti-racist isn’t just being vocal about violence against Black folks, it also entails viewing them as beautiful, as viable romantic partners and friends, as people who have diverse interests, who are smart, funny, kind complex individuals. To be anti-racist you need to be as concerned with Black joy and prosperity as you are with basic human rights

A Memorial Fund created by George Floyd’s sister is here.

Just realized cowboys go yee haw and ninjas go hee yaw

The one thing I can appreciate about Tumblr is that I can just be. I don’t have to talk to anyone, I don’t care how many followers I have, I don’t care if anyone likes what I reblog. This entire space is dedicated to what I love; what inspires me; what brings me pleasure. 

I know this is unrelated to this blog’s content, but free education is always good and so is visibility for disabled people! So here y'all go!! 💛

OH SHIT I TOLD THE DEAF PATRON AT MY LIBRARY TO FUCK OFF I DEFINITELY SIGNED THAT ONE WRONG I’M SO SORRY WES

This is like how the French language is constantly on the verge of sexual assault

We need to dismantle the systems in place that allow white people to get away with offering black people sub-par services based on the excuse that our bodies are more difficult to work with. Black hair is not more difficult than white hair, it simply requires a different skill set. Tattooing vibrant tattoos on black skin isn’t more difficult than tattooing white skin, it simply requires a different skill set. Photographing black people isn’t more difficult than photographing white people, it simply requires an understanding of photography. Doing makeup on black skin isn’t more difficult than doing makeup on white skin, it simply requires different products. Working with black people is not more difficult than working with white people you’ve all just been taught that it’s not valuable and therefore not worth learning how.

[gets a new mutual] i look forward to working with you
