when we try to befriend cats we mimic their meows and get down on the ground to their level and try to gently coax them to interact with us right
that horrifying entity mimicking human noises at us maybe just thinks we’re cool and wants to pet us?
had to draw it
a few people pointed out that they probably wouldn’t understand what they were saying and just mimicking whatever sounds they happen to hear so I wanted to add this
me hanging out with black people in the summer: “aye, yall don’t forget to put on sunscreen”
them:
@flipflibberinflippinghell
Use the Walgreens Brand which is pretty cheap and it does wonders and doesn’t leave me with a white cast. And I’m dark as hell so I hate looking ashy but not all sunscreens are made equally and it’s one of the better ones I’ve used.
Wait cocoa/shea butter and coconut oil don’t protect you from the sun we really do need sunscreen??
Yea fam. All that “we don’t need sunscreen” shit is a myth. Combine that with the fact that most dermatologists don’t know how to spot skin cancer in Black people and it’s a nasty combination.
Yeah, it’s harder for us to get it but when we do it’s deadly. I know two people who died of skin cancer, both were Black.
“While incidence of melanoma is higher in the Caucasian population, a July 2016 study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology showed it is more deadly in people of color. African American patients were most likely to be diagnosed with melanoma in its later stages than any other group in the study, and they also had the worst prognosis and the lowest overall survival rate.”

Sorry about the link, I’m on mobile. But this is from August 2016, which I know isn’t the most recent but it’s still SUPER IMPORTANT. Y’all please wear sunscreen. With Google it’s even easy to find smaller, Black-owned brands.
https://blackgirlsunscreen.com/ is Black-owned!
I use this sunscreen from Walmart. It’s cheap, doesn’t leave a white cast, and smells pretty good.
Duuuude my family uses that and it’s Soo nice it even smells good
Same for brown people, are skin may be dark but we do burn!
Korean and Japanese sunscreens are also a great option for deeper skin tones! Their formulas are way more sophisticated that most US sunscreens, don’t feel greasy, and most don’t leave a white cast. Biore Aqua watery essence and Purito Centella green level sunscreen are especially nice and not crazy expensive
this. Is everything.
Please.
Black folks can definitely get sunburned, and I have seen some bad cases.
Find a sunblock that works for you and use it. Please.
There was a recent controversy about Purito and their spf levels being lower than announced. So maybe not that one.
I’m not black, just brown, but both bioderma and avene make nice chemical sunscreens that leave no white cast.

Hospitals are struggling for nurses right now because people are leaving the profession entirely or leaving for temporary travel contract positions that pay well. They have been treated poorly, underpaid for the work they do, and inadequately protected this year, and they’re done.
My brother in law said they’re advertising for a position in his normal unit, offering twice his salary. But they won’t offer him extra to stay after risking his life working in the COVID unit for months, so he’s out. It’s absolutely insulting, and so many industries are going to have a major reckoning coming up.
My father retired early because they refused to hire just one person to help with the work load. They had to hire 5 people to replace him.
This is a common occurrence amongst his retired coffee group.
One lady was a head nurse that ran two floor at her hospital. They wanted her to take on more work. She agreed to do so oy if they gave her a small raise and hired an assistant for her. They refused so she retired early. They had to replace her with 20 people.
You are NOT replaceable!!! They tell you this to make you complacent to their exploration of you.
Fun fact! This sort of reckoning happened after the Black Plague, also! I'm no historian, (and history side of tumblr, please come in with the accuracy) but I did look into the history of the Black Plague for writing purposes, and in that case, it was because there were so few people left that peasants started agitating for better treatment and fairer wages, and because there were so few people who could do the work they had been doing that they were able to gain better wages and better hours. Historically, the labour shortage created by pandemics means a heightened bargaining capacity for workers of all sorts - an if there was ever a time to take advantage of knowing history, it's now. Because the thing is, in these "unprecedented times" there are precedents, and the precedent leans toward workers. During the Black Death, villages emptied, fields were left, and people migrated to find work that paid them better and offered a better way of life. Wages for lower-class workers rose drastically. In Oxfordshire; a plowman who had earned two shillings per week before the plague could command 10 shillings per week afterward. Pay rates for artisans increased, too. In Paris, wages for masons quadrupled between 1351 and 1355.
This isn't to say that the elites just let this happen, either. Laws were passed to limit wage increases, and threats were made, but the workers had economic bargaining power on their side. Labour was in such short supply that employers and landlords had to take what they could get. The people held out - and so can (and should!) YOU.
This was the start of peasant revolts, popular rebellions, and - ultimately, more labour protections, political representation for the lower classes, lower taxes, and an end to serfdom. People could afford to own their own land, the feudal system vanished, and eventually, the Renaissance would rise. In these unprecedented times, there is a precedent, and that precedent is that when workers know their worth, agitate for better and for more, when they hold out and unite, they force the elites to loosen the reigns, giving more power, autonomy, rights, and profits back into the hands of the workers, and with that freedom, society improves.
Know your worth. Know that you have bargaining power. Let's make this pandemic part of the precedent. <3

Please do your research! There is so much misinformation out there and a lot of lies.
Everyone should know the truth so please try to know as much as you can so you can spread awareness and help!
Free Palestine🇵🇸✌️
[ID: 10 images that form an infographic about Palestine. Each show the same cartoon person sitting down and asking another cartoon person a question, which they answer. The dialogs go as follows:
1. A: So aren’t Israelis and Palestinians just fighting over religion? B: They are not ‘fighting’, Israelis are the oppressors and Palestinians are the oppressed and the situation is about anything but religion.
2. A: Isn’t it just an argument over land between Muslims and Jews though? B: No it is not. Before the creation of ‘Israel’ only 73 years ago, Palestinian Christians, Jews and Muslims all peacefully co-existed in Palestine. The Palestinian Christian community is the oldest Christian community in the world.
3. A: Oh there are Palestinian Christians? B: Yes there are, there are also Palestinian Jews, like the Samaritans who reside in Nablus, both are oppressed by ‘Israel’. The point is, making the suffering of Palestinians seem like a religious conflict is factually incorrect.
4. A: So if they’re not fighting over religion what are they fighting over? B: There is no ‘fighting’, there is only Israeli colonisation, ethnic cleansing, military occupation, and apartheid. When I say ‘Israel’ I am referring to a group of people, a group of settlers, who are colonising Palestine.
5. A: ‘Israel’ isn’t a country? B: No, they are a settler colony. Settler colonialism is a form of colonialism that seeks to replace the native population of the colonised land with a new society of settlers. This is what ‘Israel’ is. Palestine is the country they are colonising.
6. A: How are they able to do that to Palestinians? B: It’s because they have the support of other settler colonies like the United States, Australia, Canada and also support from former colonial powers like the UK, France, Belgium and others. For them to call out ‘Israel’, they would have to start to answer questions about their own existence, about reparations and justice, for the people they colonised.
7. A: So why did I think it was a conflict over religion? B: ‘Israel’ tends to spread misinformation about its own short settler colonial existence, in order to conceal the reality on the ground. It is a lot easier to disassociate yourself from a situation that has been wrongfully minimised to a ‘religious conflict happening since the beginning of time’.
8. A: What are ‘Israel’ trying to conceal by saying its a religious conflict?! B: Everything. The fact that they didn’t exist before 1948, and they only exist because of Zionist terrorist groups who ethnically cleansed, massacred and destroyed over 540+ Palestinian towns and villages, and…
9. A: They massacred and destroyed over 540+ Palestinian towns and villages?! B: Yes. They’re also responsible for the displacement of over 7.2 million Palestinian refugees, and deny them their legal right of return. Saying it’s a ‘religious conflict’ denies Palestinians their right to liberation, freedom, and justice.
10. A: 'Israel’ is responsible for over 7.2 million Palestinians being refugees? B: Yes. 'Israel’ tries to minimise what’s happening to a 'religious conflict’ to draw attention away from the fact they are a settler colony still in the process of brutally colonising Palestine.
