WRITE DOWN. Where you got. YOURS from.

Here you will find a bunch of random shit that probably doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but that's just how I roll.

I asked a friend to record a video tribute for a mutual friend’s birthday, and he refused because apparently “the pandemic is over” and he prefers to give his greetings in person.........

I’ve got 5 ICUs still full of Covid patients on vents that would beg to differ.

ugh fine my personal blog is not cutting so I’ll post here 

DO! NOT! DONATE! TO! AMAZON! CONSERVATION! NGOs! DO NOT!

they don’t act on the root of the problem, they don’t mitigate the effects of deforestation, they do have limited action and they don’t help conserve the forest land outside their very small grounds besides doing little to nothing to help the people who actually live in the amazon and conserve it on a daily basis

they are organized, they can keep woodcutting companies away from their land, they are getting murdered for it, they are the only reason there is any forest left at all

THIS is a a fund for indigenous peoples of the Amazon (Brasil only)

THIS is a link to donate from abroad to the indigenous women’s march, it has already happened but you can still donate to support the cause

THIS is a link to support the free land camp, and you can email them at apibbsb@gmail.com if you really want to find ways to support them, donations will go to APIB (Brazilian Articulation of Indigenous Peoples) and you can keep up with their news here

(APIB is coordinated by, among others, Sonia Guajajara! so if you know her you know this means shit will get done)

This needs a billion reblogs

Men are so obsessed with the continuation of our species. They’re always going on about birthrates and who would ‘need’ to do what with whom if there were only like 12 ppl left on earth and for some unknown reason we needed to rectify that ‘problem’. Let me tell u, lads: no lady needs to do anything with anyone even if the entire human race depends upon it. If we die out then we die. That’s life, sweaty. No ladies are responsible for ensuring your ugly asses are still a thing in the year 3017

This post is great

I remember a few years ago there was a question on Yahoo Answers asking what would happen if every woman everywhere suddenly refused to be impregnated. Of course the only solution men could come up with was rape. Men are evil through and through and their existence is an atrocity all by itself.

There is NO better feeling than hanging my art! Especially when you spend weeks crafting kites and layering paper, it’s like delivering a damn baby! 👩🏾‍🎨🖌

You’re so gorgeous. 😍

How the furk did I not know she was an artiiiiiiiiiist??!

These photos are loooooovely!

Thank you! And yes, I am an artist with a BFA from FAMU. My main medium is paper cutting with a focus in art-‘driven storytelling. My art always focuses on the perspective of the young black girl and all she experiences growing up. This time more specifically, it’s about my grandmother’s role in grooming me into the person I am today.

Missed you guys, how’s things??

Have you ever seen a violinist going APESHIT?!

GO OFFF

Ok so I’ve been playing for 18 years and i’m a string teacher. Can i just say how IMPORTANT it is for young kids to see a BLACK, MALE-PRESENTING PERSON playing, nae, SHREDDING on a violin? I’ve know maybe 5 black people who played stringed instruments throughout my schooling and teaching (predumably because i’m an upper middle class white woman). In districts where the population is predominantly black, funding is always low, so the instruments are crappy. Kids quit, or the program is dismantled. I’ve seen very few professional string players who are black.

Obviously there are black string players. We just don’t see them because they “don’t look like” string players.

This person is the real deal. They were clearly trained, and seems to have some fiddle training as well. How cool is that?

“Crazy Dion” Diamond at one of his sit-ins as a teenager in Arlington, VA. June 10, 1960

via reddit

All of those people around him are demons

hey guys! here’s some fun things i learned from this article about Dion Diamond:

  • he did these sit-ins by himself. like idk about you, but i always thought of sit-ins as organized by groups, what kind of bravery does it take, man
  • he didn’t tell anyone about it, like he was no glory-seeker about this. his parents didn’t even know until reporters started calling them up like “hey, did you know your son is in jail?
  • when someone called the cops he’d skedaddle out the back door although he was sent to prison multiple times
  • the last time he got arrested was in Baton Rouge, and the cops were so sick of him that they told inmates they’d put in a good word for anyone who gave Diamond a hard time. (the inmates didn’t take the bait.)
  • he’s still alive!

hark, a hero of our times!

Life Update:

Ya know i like to usually keep my page pretty lighthearted. But life just aint been that recently. A couple weeks ago, i made the decision to run away from toxic family. Lived out of a hotel for a week, now in the guest room at a friends’ apartment until i can get on my feet. And it seems like the universe keeps slowing that process down. I dont have a car, so ubering/lyft to work is my only choice in this town wih poor public transportation. Working two jobs to avoid falling behind on bills. Then my parents that i forgot had access to my old account got in and took that money out in an attempt to starve me back home. I got a new bank acocunt almost three weeks ago, and they have still failed to send me an atm card or give me a working acocunt number to log in online s i have no access to money cming in while the bills and late fees are piling up. My mental health is deteriorating and its effecting my job and social life. I dont really like just asking folks for help because i know you all are struggling and trying just like me if not harder. But if you can spare anything to help me stay alive until the bank and money get sorted out. Id truly and deeply appreciate that. My cash app is $cptkirk94. Whatever you can find to give would be fantastic. And i thank you and love you all endlessly. Have a nice evening.
