how #BNIstudies works:
if you identify as a Black and/or Indigenous studyblr:
TAG your content with #BNIstudies!
TAG US in your content as well! Mya tracks #stillstudies and Lama tracks #stuhde, but you can also just tag our urls if you’d like.
this is NOT a US-centered hashtag! this is an international movement :)
this is NOT limited to studyblr-only related content; please lend us your voices, art, stories, educational resources, organizations, petitions, etc. so that we can help prop it for you.
REACH OUT to us (Mya @stillstudies and Lama @stuhde) if there is anything else we can do to further amplify your voices and/or access needs.
reach out to us if you find anything in our content or language offensive, ignorant, uneducated, or in poor taste; it is essential in our activism that we hold each other accountable!
***We are currently working on a blog/network/discourse to amplify Black and Indigenous voices primarily, where we will also be reblogging content under #BNIstudies! this project is in development and we will announce any news under the tag as soon as we get logistics settled***
if you identify as a non-Black/non-Indigenous POC ally or White ally (if you DO NOT identify as a Black and/or Indigenous person):
DO NOT tag your ORIGINAL CONTENT under #BNIstudies. This hashtag should primarily be used on original posts by users who identify as a Black and/or Indigenous person. if you do not identify as such, refrain from using this tag UNLESS it is to primarily amplify the work under #BNIstudies (for instance, this post was partly created by Mya, a Filipina non-Black and non-Indigenous person). please be aware of your space and do your part to make space for others.
using the tag to REBLOG #BNIstudies content on your blog is ok; tumblr will not re-tag a post that was already originally tagged under BNI. please just do not use this tag with your original content :)
REBLOG this post to spread the word!
TRACK, REBLOG, FOLLOW, and SUPPORT content/users under #BNIstudies! tumblr has this cool feature now where you can actually follow a hashtag, so you should probably get on that if you want to see Black and Indigenous studyblr content on your feed.
PLEDGE to make your studyblr a safe, inclusive, and diverse space for all voices to be heard and respected!
EDUCATE yourself on the issues that target not only Black and Indigenous folks within our studyblr community, but also worldwide. Some starting points: race x climate change, race x sustainability/fast fashion, Black and Indigenous activist organizations, students rights, COVID-19 effects on predominantly Black and Indigenous communities, stolen land, colonialism, imperialism, etc.
