That's us, together.

While we're looking up at the Artemis II astronauts journeying to the Moon, they're looking back home at us. 

In this image, Earth peeks through the capsule window, reminding us that a view like this relies on the ingenuity and hard work of countless people back home.

In the second image, we see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere.

Follow the Artemis II astronauts on their journey to the Moon:

being black in any art community is such a strange feeling cause you’ll see just blatant racism being expressed in others art and you have to just casually ignore it, for your sake if anything, colorism being something that’s just fundamentally there in every artist and you deal with it cause it’s not worth it in the end to even think of it too hard let alone even mentioning it, it’s definitely something

[creatingblackcharacters]

Hello nonblack reader of this post, I think you ought to share this one so that you and your peers can actively remind yourselves 1) of how your Black peers feel when you tolerate antiblack racism in your art spaces for entertainment and 2) that we notice it, but don't believe it is secure around enough of you to bring it up 🙏🏾

Love and Community will prevail! We have to stay connected with each other and build networks that can keep us safe in evolving conditions ❤️💕🫧🫶🏾 get started today! Start small, your direct neighbors, immediately family and expand as your capacity expands. No one gets through times like these and maintains their joy and light without community. Your community needs you and you need community.

Our revolutionary TLGBTQIA+ left us blueprints on how to keep each other safe during times such as these. They’ve left us whole autobiographies, ten point programs, tool kits, check lists and organizations that still exist today. We can turn to them to guidance and empowerment. We are never alone because the soul of all who came before us runs through our veins. They’re with us, in us, and working through us, always.

Here are the final third pages of the Care Network zine! I recently created a downloadable pdf that can be printed as a half page booklet! Check it out under my zines tab on my page. You can view the full zine in HD on @sparkrjnow ‘s website under their resources tab. I also have a url in my page too that you can use for quick access.

If you would like to support my work as a revolutionary propagandist, check out the urls on my page to see ways to support my work 💕🙏🏾🫧✨🫶🏾 I’d be more clear here but then the post would be negatively affected by the algo 🫶🏾 but rest assured ur support would go directly into my care network and my labor to help make more info like this available in spaces where it’s not usually reached!

I feel that Drax and Sumner are essentially two sides of the same coin. One is a person who lives through instinct and the other lives through using his intellect. I certainly see Drax as the shadow of Sumner in many respects; he is what Sumner is trying to repress and hide and keep secret.

A bird explaining to a hedgehog crossing so it doesn’t die.

[serialreblogger]

!!! ok but that’s legitimately what it’s doing!! That’s a corvid right there (looks like a hooded crow, to be precise), which means it’s intelligent enough to recognize, a) cars are dangerous and streets should be treated with a certain degree of caution, b) this car’s slowing down for them–cars do that sometimes–which means they’re not in imminent danger, so it doesn’t have to fly away just yet, c) that hedgehog’s still gonna get killed if it doesn’t MOVE, FAST (cars can change speed very quickly and the hedgehog’s still in the way), and almost certainly also d) if the bird does nothing it gets a free lunch.

Y’all, Y’ALL. This bird is consciously deciding to put itself in danger in order to save the life of a very stupid creature. A creature which, if the bird did nothing, could be free food. 

i can’t - look if you follow me you know I have a thing for corvids, but this is - like!!! People are always saying “ah yes they have sub-human intelligence and don’t consider anything that isn’t immediately necessary for their own survival/pleasure,” but! Whether or not it can do philosophy, this crow is clearly demonstrating compassion. Even if it’s just the kind of compassion a toddler shows to a snail, a social creature that instinctively recognizes the potential for emotion in other beings, that’s still huge and cool and important and corvids!!! are! neat!!! 

[verdantvulpus]

They’re incredibly smart! And kind!!!
