What’s important to remember is that protesting isn’t the only thing you can do.  You’re off to a good start by wanting to help.

For one, if you aren’t black, you can educate yourself. Don’t just go to the nearest black person and ask, not their job. Do the research for yourself. A good resource I recently gave out to some of my friends is this google drive of black literature.

Another way is I have reblogged many ways to support, look through those. There are many knowledgeable resources, donation links, bail numbers, etc etc. Spread that news. Spread that awareness. More people to see it. This is not performative but a spread of information.

Know your rights. Super duper important, especially if you wanna try activism. I know that personally, things I plan to do, will put a target on my head--considering I live in the bible belt. Take precautions.

Be aware of the things you say. Words are vital. They can change the world. Change your language if you need to.

Also, just be aware of the black community and the issues we face. There are many things that are more than just police on black violence.

Know that we are living in the midst of a revolution and we will not stop to change comes.

This may seem overwhelming but, you’re taking a step in the right direction by trying to help. I say educate yourself first and foremost. You have no idea what a powerful weapon knowledge is.

Thank you! It’s something that means alot to me. I wanna see people my color dating celebs i like--in fics. Give the girls hope.

Often times black women are told “what if he doesn’t like black girls?” and uk what, fuck that. If you don’t like us fuck off but I will make sure every time of black and brown skinned women is represented in my fics.

So thank you that means alot bc if I have to describe someone, I’m gonna do someone we don’t see.

I really like AU and Supernatural, as well as angst stuff. I’m not the best at fluff but I try. Also I love just making someones fantasy come to life.

I just added it to my library! The 1960s! Ah I love it already

Yeah, I think that’s why I’m doing it this way. I saw everything that happened and it was just ugh how it all went down. People got really mean.

All these are really funny and fun superlatives, none that r really like “best blogger” or anything bc 1) idc for that at all. 2) people get hurt and as much as I love Paramore, I am not in the business of misery.

Trying to do this as fair AS possible with some hope that this brings more of us smaller blogs to light.

Thanks for your concern, ay-non. It’s much appreciated.

alright, so we’re gonna have to dive into that one later.

I wanna say it was bc i changed my name but Arabesque lasted through two other name changes so i don’t even know.
