And if you’ve seen all of us in Cali posting these photos/videos: this is your fight too. And if you haven’t seen these images? Still your fight.

If you live here on Ohlone land (Bay Area): a great place to start (if you haven’t already) is to follow/support : an indigenous women-led land trust group who fights to return indigenous land to indigenous hands.

⁣
Revolution is just a circle ⁣
don’t let it smack you in the ass ⁣
when it whips back around⁣
you know it whips back around⁣
you knows it comin back around ⁣
⁣
We know it shouldn’t be this way but it is⁣
so we take care of each other love our kids⁣
best we can we f**k it up sometimes unf**k it up⁣
but mostly we do not⁣
⁣
And still that same $5 gets passed around ⁣
and it is the medicine holding us down⁣
To live another day let’s live another day⁣
⁣
Poverty p**n the norm part of the market how dare you⁣
GoFundMe making money off the sick and hungry⁣
F**k a nonprofit f**k a charity ⁣
Give your money to the people who need it directly]⁣

💯 [Photo description: post by is in black background with white text and reads: The fact that you can see a picture of a white kid walking in the streets without a scratch on him, holding a gun after murdering people, and in the same week see a video of a Black man shot in front of his kids while unarmed, and still question privilege, shows me that you could care less about having a conversation and you just like watching me die, because it’s not you]

Important distinctions to make are when:⁣
⁣
-Someone needs compassion and a hug⁣
-Someone needs a well-worded admonishment that maintains their dignity⁣
-Someone needs to be cussed the f**k out and told they are wrong⁣
-Someone needs to get blocked or cut off⁣
-Someone needs to get their ass beat⁣
⁣
Each response has its place.

Little stars count ⁣
my loves cob ⁣
eyes ardently ⁣
fastened suckling ⁣
adoration slow⁣
dissolve order’s ⁣
dominion bold ⁣
orbs aflight multiplicity ⁣
in one mordacious ⁣
pleasure godly ⁣
secrets tucked waiting ⁣
awakening nixtamal ⁣
breaking benefaction ⁣
strewn across sky⁣

Anti-racism work is a form of mental health care. Community care is a form of self care. Healing is a social justice issue. How are you still incorporating anti-oppressive and anti-racist work into your everyday life? ✨ ⁣

[Photo description: An infographic with white background and abstract shapes and lines in the corners where there is no text has the title “Dear Non-Black POC” with underneath. It has the following phrases underneath: ⁣
You can experience racism and you can be complicit in black oppression. ⁣
⁣
You can love your culture and you can speak out against its toxicity and anti-Blackness. ⁣
⁣
You can be an ally and you can acknowledge that there’s still a lot for you to learn... and unlearn. ⁣
⁣
You can experience systemic oppression and you can recognize that you also benefit from these same systems oppressing Black people. ⁣
⁣
You can love you family and you can call them out on their respectability politics.]
