This pride month, we need to stand in solidarity with our black members and allies.

Yo around 25.000 people showed up in Munich in Germany to protest in support of the blm movement. 200 people were originally allowed, but we blew that out of the park.

#i've never been more proud to live here #it felt like it was a lot of people but I'd never have guessed it was 25000 #black lives matter #munich #germany #blm solidarity

Hey, if you have the time, please subscribe to this channel, like this video and stream it. This channel only has 45 subscribers (at the time of writing this) and you need 1000 subs in order to be monetized.

Maybe it’s not worth it and maybe we should be streaming videos that are already monetized, I don’t know, I just want to help.

I came. I saw an opportunity. I did an impromptu photoshoot (and picked up 26 more books for my dissertation but that's not the important part) [ID: front-facing photos of Kaleb and his mum, respectively, sitting on a wooden bench against a backdrop of grass and daffodils. Kaleb is wearing a black t-shirt with stylized lettering that says "I Can't Breathe." His mum is also wearing a black ensemble with a tan skirt.] (at University of Notre Dame) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBlto9LH4D_QW2VQQAC63574RzO43uX2kKH7o00/?igshid=1rd05a9yj9i17

Hello. I'm just messaging today Bc I think I need advice? I'm trying to reblog lots of BLM posts, but I also feel a bit mentally exhausted? In that mentally I'm an emotional wreck? And like I want to be happy and post my usual but then I feel guilty for not posting BLM and idk how to make a healthy balance? Or really how to explain it? And I'm not a P.O.C, so I also feel like atm I don't really deserve to complain abt this? Idk? Fren Anon

(I hope I've worded this decently. Forgive me if I have not; I'm particularly unwell today and a bit woobly with fever.)

Remember that it is not the responsibility of Black people to assuage any guilt you might be feeling right now. Recognise that feelings of guilt and helplessness are a reaction, but they don't serve you, and they don't serve the Black community.

Keep doing small things from home when you can. Donate. Sign petitions. Listen to music by artists who have pledged to donate royalties to BLM causes. Educate yourself and others. Listen to Black friends who need to vent. Speak if there is a reason for your white voice. Stay silent if there is a Black person to speak. Keep the momentum going.

Recognise that doing these things does take of your energy and empathy. That some days you may be able to help for hours. Other days, you may only get a couple of things done. Still others, you may need for yourself.

Again: ditch the guilt. Take the time to heal yourself. You cannot be an ally if you are exhausted. You cannot help if you destroy your sanity.

Turn off the news. Put social media down. Breathe. Refill. Rest. Come back. Fight.

Believe me when I say this battle is far from over. You will have time to help.

I write this under the assumption that you cannot protest in person, like me. I am far too sick to join my fellow Australians in BLM solidarity protests and protests for Indigenous Australian rights. Of course this hurts; I want to lend my physical being and use my privileges to fight. But I must accept the reality that I cannot. I must direct my energy into useful places. I must overcome shame in order to be the best ally I can be.

Doing things from home may feel small, especially in the shadow of courageous Black protesters in the front line. But if every white person did small things from home, we could stand behind oppressed communities and help them to change the world into something worthy. The power of resources - money, numbers - is strong.

Forgive yourself. Let the hunger for justice drive you, not the negativity of remorse. Take care of yourself, and those around you.
