The world has been dealing with a lot this year, and it is an especially harrowing time for Black Americans and Black folks abroad.

“What can I do where I am?”

Thank you to @theblackoutofficial for providing resources on knowing your rights, how to protect yourself, where to donate, and how to find mental health resources if you need them right now.

Tumblr has always been a fierce believer in free speech and the power it gives to the people who wield it. Throughout history, free speech has been the most important tool used to fight for racial and social justice. The protests being held in honor of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery are no different. They are important. They should not be ignored or derided. The disproportionate violence Black people face from those who have power in our country is not acceptable. It’s on all of us, regardless of race, to stand up for what is right, to demand justice, and to demand change. 

Say their names.

Black lives matter.

For anyone who needs to hear it:

Your late teens/20s are a weird time in your life. Don’t panic if you think somebody is more “ahead” than you. The concept of being ahead is nonexistent anyway because life’s not a race and each person has different hurdles to overcome.

It’s totally fine if you’re single. It’s fine if you’re still finishing school. It’s fine if you are still looking for a better job, or for any job at all. It’s fine if you haven’t had sex yet, or haven’t gotten your driver license yet. It’s fine if you haven’t gotten your own place yet. It’s fine if you are still figuring things out, saving money, putting the pieces together. It’s fine.

Don’t feel jealous of or lesser than people your age who have done these things. You don’t know what obstacles they faced to get there and they don’t know what you’ve faced. Don’t undermine the progess you have made.

Because, trust me, you have made progress. Even if it hasn’t materialized yet in the traditional way.

You are still young. Like really young.

You got time.

ONE STRAW TO END THEM ALL 💪

Americans use 500 million straws every single day with the majority of those ending up in our landfills and oceans. Here at Save The Turtles, we created a simple and effective method of reducing our reliance on plastic with our Collapsible Straw. 

While the push continues to change how big restaurant chains and corporations operate, we must be the change we want to see. Without grassroots movements like this, companies would continue to operate under the premise that our oceans don’t matter. Make a small difference in your community by getting a reusable straw. 

Here at Save The Turtles, our ultimate goal is to keep our oceans clean. In our pursuit to achieve this, beyond offering our reusable straws, we donate 5% of our profits to Sea Turtle Conservancy. 

While straws are just the beginning, our team is hard at work designing more eco-friendly, reusable products to continue the push towards a plastic-free ocean. 

You can check out our straws HERE

anyway jeff bezos could eradicate homelessness. he could literally give each homeless person 100k and it would only take less than .5% of his entire wealth. what the actual god giving fuck

[the-prolefeed]

Why do you think they deserve it

[killin-the-machine]

Well shelter is a basic need, and would at the very least allow them a place where they can get back on their feet. Food water and shelter are necessary for a healthy body and psychology. There’s also the fact that they’re people too, and a little help goes a long way in making a decent community. There’s plenty of reasons

[the-prolefeed]

Yeah they need stuff, but why does every homeless person deserve 0.5% of someone’s income

You have five hundred apples, and just one day to eat them all. 

You pass by a small crowd of hungry children, and decide you’d rather 455 apples go rotten than give them to some snotty brat who isn’t your problem.

It doesn’t matter how hard you’ve worked for your 500 apples, or that you aren’t the parent of any of those kids. in the moment you decide to walk away, it doesn’t matter why they’re hungry, or who owes who what.

You had the opportunity to help people, you had the ability to help people, you had the resources to help people. You had everything you needed to make a small, tiny little difference in someone’s life, and you decided not to.

What are you going to buy in your lifetime that’s worth more to you than your own humanity?

Parents should listen to their children. Just because they are young and don’t have “adult” problems doesn’t mean they aren’t suffering or in trouble. Look back into your past. I’m sure there were moments you wish to be understood by your parents. Do not make the same mistake with your children.
