i feel like this is important for black travelers who are driving long distances:

but what are some sundown towns do y’all know of? like if someone were to do a cross-country trip, what are some towns they should absolutely not go through?

[furbytheminx]

I remember listening to a podcast recently that was talking about how back in the day they had a literal travel guide for black people about where was safest and what routes to take. It’s called The Negro Motorist Green Book. They actually just digitized the whole thing on the New York Public Library website:

https://digitalcollections.nypl.org/collections/the-green-book

I can’t remember the name of the specific podcast though it might’ve been Codeswitch. Either way I’m sure a lot of the sundown towns mentioned in 1937 when it was published are still the same today.

If you traveling through a town and the tallest thing is the water tower it’s a no go

I don’t mean to impose a personal favour on you guys, but I really would like to ask that everyone who follows me reblog this. 

I don’t think I made it very clear but last month I was sexually assaulted by someone who I thought was my friend (I don’t want to talk about it don’t ask), and it’s… really fucked with my head. 

Had I known this a month ago I would have been able to get away. 

So, essentially, I’m really pleading with you to reblog this so everyone who follows you doesn’t get stuck in the same position I was with no way out. 

I mean again I don’t want the point of this to be my sob story or whatever but if you could reblog this it would seriously mean a lot

Related: Albuquerque is also providing mobile showers to the homeless — and they’re doing it in a wonderfully sustainable way.

I just donated. Please consider donating too.

I wonder if there could also be some kind of laundry service so people don’t have to put dirty clothes back on afterwards.

#Type4day reminder!

Y’all #type4day is coming up July 1st so please don’t forget! If you’re curious about what it is, it’s basically a natural hair appreciation day with those who have type 4 hair! Type 4 people (mainly 4c) face to much texture discrimination so here is a day to uplift all of us.

So July 1st—mark your calendars! Anyone with type 4 hair can post selfies/submit to this blog or tag my blog in selfies featuring them and their type 4 hair. Also when I get my Instagram up and running I will feature you on my Instagram. When you post your selfies make sure to use the tat #type4day because I will be tracking that tag.

Anyway, please spread the word and mark your calendars! Let’s no let a single type 4 person miss out on this!
