I’m watching a documentary on Netflix about animals getting prosthetics and this vet just hand sculpted a prosthetic beak for an injured swan and the very first thing it did was use its new beak to bite someone

Happy Black History Month! As part of Tumblr’s #WhatWillYouDo campaign, we are committed to using our platform to celebrate and honor the achievements, the courage, and the lives of Black voices from all over the country. There will be Days of Action you can join, Answer Times to participate in, and stickers to enjoy. We want to make sure you don’t miss anything you wouldn’t want to miss. So let’s go:

#TheBlackout

Today the incredible team behind #TheBlackout movement are curating and boosting Black voices and stories, and the organizations doing important work in spaces where Black voices tend to be ignored.

Stickers are back

Slap them on your selfies, throw them on your GIFs. They’re in the Tumblr app right now.

Don’t miss these Answer Times, Issue Times, and Day of Action

From activists in transgender education to data scientists, we have a varied line-up of people who want to answer your questions and start some pretty important conversations. Be on the lookout for them all month long over on our official @action Tumblr.

Black Girls Vote (Answer Time) If you’re in college and have wanted to get more involved in politics, you should pay attention to BGV. Their Collegiate Ambassador Program provides peer-to-peer education on the electoral process and provides opportunities to refine public speaking skills. Want to know more? Great! That’s what the Answer Time is for. Black Contemporary Art (art curation) Kimberly Drew, who runs @blackcontemporaryart, will curate a collection of art that honors Black voices by shining a light on the diverse cultural conversations important to the community. The Cost of Criminalization: Race & The Drug War (Issue Time) People of color are far more likely to be stopped, searched, arrested, prosecuted, convicted, and incarcerated for drug violations than white people, despite having a comparable rate of drug use and selling. Here to address this injustice in an Issue Time, in the midst of marijuana becoming legal at the state level all over the US, are members of the Minority Cannabis Association, Cannabis Cultural Association, and other advocacy leaders working to address issues related to mass incarceration.

Campaign Zero (Day of Action and Answer Time) Campaign Zero is a police reform campaign led by activists associated with Black Lives Matter. Tumblr will be partnering Campaign Zero for a Day of Action, giving you the opportunity to identify your state and local elected officials and demand them to enact legislation to end police violence. Ahead of the Day of Action will be an Answer Time with Sam Singyanwe, from Campaign Zero’s planning team.

Do Not Resist (Answer Time) Do Not Resist is a PBS documentary on police brutality, delving into their tactics, their training, and acquisition of equipment.

Transgender Freedom Project (Answer Time) The Transgender Freedom Project’s Answer Time will be with some of the first Black transgender elected officials in the US.

Hope you have a nice Black History Month, Tumblr. <3

Every once and a while you get a glimpse of the person you could be. Grab that. Hold on to that. Work for it. Nothing is out of reach.

Eat better. Run more. Squat more. Sleep earlier. Wake up earlier. Make a good breakfast. Drink water. Eat fruits. Read books. Adventure. Talk less. Listen more. Feel deeper. Love better. Open your eyes. Experience life. Be happy.
