thinking about that ilya kaminsky poem that’s like i was / in my bed, around my bed america / was falling: invisible house by invisible house by invisible house
i see a lot of my black mutuals in pain and struggling mentally lately so if any of you need it here’s a post of mental health resources made by a black woman specifically for black people struggling right now… i love you all so much please take care of yourselves
Hey, if you’re not black and can’t get out and protest but want to know how you can help black people, consider donating to the Black Covid Relief Fund which goes directly to black people who’ve been affected by this pandemic. Black People are being disproportionately affected by this virus and anything you can give helps.
black people, please take care of yourselves. please take care of your health. please take care of your mind. please take care of your spirit.
i understand if your soul is not at peace. i understand if you are exhausted. just, please take care of yourselves in these dark, hateful times and surround yourself with people who understand why.

Taken from pinned comment on vid : “once you finished the entire thing, proceed to watch any 3 to 5 videos (literally any length of the video will do, plus randomize the number of vids you watch AND the videos themselves they will count as spam if you watch the same 3-5 videos) after this. once you’ve done that, watch this again in the highest quality. rinse and repeat”
