if you don't do anything else today,
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.
white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.
BKDK CODEPENDENCY- a little thing I wrote in my notes app bus they’re taking over my brain
Postwar bakudeku who are heavily co-dependant on each other but still in that awkward stage of their friendship where they are not quite comfortable enough to be touching so they look for the smallest excuses to be near. They partner up because “they’re the strongest and they push each other the most.” But they can only get so far into their second year of school without the class noticing how they’re ALWAYS around each other. “Hey where midoriya?” “ I dont know but I saw bakugou heading to the lounge room” and it just makes sense. And OH MY GOD there’s no escaping the way bakugou talks to him. It literally gives everyone whiplash. He’s so soft and gentle. Like yeah he throws in the occasional insult and Izuku might bite back but the way he significantly lowers his voice because he knows that even after all they’ve been through and how much they’ve both changed izuku is still that same little kid craving for a hint of his kindness. And it’s the way that midoriya will lure him out of a loud room with the ease of a siren. And everyone teases bakugou for it saying stuff about how he follows midoriya everywhere and he’ll deny it but he genuinely can’t not follow him. his body craves to be near him like he’s a drug. When they do finally get together they PHYSICALLY CANT BE PULLED APART. It’s not in a sucking on each others faces in the middle of a hallway like typical high school kids; Katsuki is not only deeply afraid but also heavily despises PDA. So they’ll just hold pinkies in public and izuku will sneak a kiss when no ones looking. Katsuki is very much an acts of service man so that means breakfast in bed when izus sick, laundry is usually all done since he will just do their clothes together. They practically live in each others rooms now. There’s just no putting in words how co-dependent they are. They CRUMBLE when they’re without each other, on some nana and ren shit, panic attacks from both parties when they have to go on overseas mission without each other especially from izuku. The trauma of what happened with bakugo because he wasn’t there when he needed him to be haunts Izuku well into his pro hero years. It’s not just each other physically they need each other though, as bakugou gets older (18-23) and his hearing gets worse the panic attacks become more frequent, he can’t call into the next room over and hear his boyfriend and that HAUNTS HIM until he and mei figure out a way for him to get cohealer implants that he won’t have to replace every mission.
why does every job want you to have a drivers license… cant you want me for my loving nature

"every possible kind of content can be found on the internet" yeah sure except for the One fucking thing I'm looking for. why does no one want to talk about the One Singular thing I'm looking for. but yeah other than that everything is on here.
Now that Israel had destroyed practically all housing units in Gaza, it is now striking literal tents where displaced Palestinians had sought refuge.
At least 15 people were killed and dozens injured today in an Israeli attack on refugee tents in Al Mawasi, an area designated as a safe zone by Israel.
Gay and Relatable
I love how different forms of art are all obsessed with each other. A book tries to capture the feeling of music, a painting tries to depict a scene in a book, a song tries to paint a picture. And it's always insufficient. No single form of art can encapsulate another form of art and capture the essence of it – but it tries, and its attempts are impossibly compelling. All the forms of art are in love with each other and spend so much time trying to express what makes the other kinds of art so lovely.
oh my god oh my god
HAPPY GOJO GETOU DYING DAY!!!!
