#hateisavirus

I made a alternative to my “Stop Asian Hate” design with another well-known phrase: Hate Is A Virus.

Stop AAPI Hate. Support a Asian-owned business/shop.

TW: Gun violence, violence against the AAPI community.

Eight people were killed yesterday in a shooting spree that targeted Asian women in Atlanta, GA. Three spas were hit, six of the victims were Asian women, yet it's "too early to say" that the shooting was racially motivated (but we know the truth).

You can read more about it here:

Even though we spend a lot of time on this blog talking about anti-Black racism, earlier this month we were discussing intersectionality and it would be remiss of us not to call out the up-tick in anti-Asian racism and corresponding violence in America. Anti-Asian racism and violence and anti-Black racism and violence stems from the same source: white supremacy.

I'll post this whole thread on a separate post, but something Imani Gandy said on Twitter makes perfect sense:

Just something to consider.

Action Items:

Spread the word about #HateIsAVirus

If you have it, there are also other organizations that you can donate to:

And if you cannot donate, that's okay, please still signal boost.

Last but not least, the most important thing you can do is use your voice!!! Call out anti-Asian racism when you hear it/see it, raise awareness, and educate yourself on history.

This is a resource; members of the AAPI community are welcome to add comments/resources that have been useful/any mutual aid resources that need attention or boosting/etc. Everyone else is encouraged to reblog and signal boost, but let's keep the notes clean on this one.

If you feel the whataboutism itch, I believe there's a cream for that called Keeping It To Yourself™️.
