Celebrate #JuneteenthJoy with The Blackout.

Juneteenth is a day of Black American joy and celebration. It honors the emancipation from slavery in the United States. 

We want to see what makes you joyful, Black Tumblr. With very many of us processing grief, loss, and trauma, making space for joy is vital. Especially as we continue social distancing measures into the summer.

This Friday, June 19th, use the tag #JuneteenthJoy along with #Blackout and #BlackoutDay to share your smiles, your strength, and your art and music. Anything that makes you happy. 

We are also committing to donating $19 dollars to 19 organizations and bail funds and challenging our allies to do the same. Stay tuned for our Juneteenth list on Friday. 

Don’t forget to use #JuneteenthJoy on Friday!

reblog to spread the word.

🏳️‍🌈 Ruth Ellis (1899 - 2000) was the daughter of former slaves. She came out as a lesbian when she was 16-years-old to the complete acceptance of her family. In 1937, Ruth and her longtime partner moved to Detroit from their hometown of Springfield, Illinois for the promise of higher wages. There, she became the first woman in Michigan to run her own printing business. She printed fliers, posters, and stationary in the front room of her home, which also quickly became a hotspot for Black LGBTQ social life. Before long, Ruth was helping those who came around in any way she could, including by paying for college tuitions. After the Stonewall uprising, 70-year-old Ruth began giving speeches in support of gay and lesbian rights all across the country. She remained an activist for the rest of her long life and even spent her 100th birthday leading the San Francisco Dyke March. At the time of her death at 101, she was recognized as the oldest out lesbian in the US. She is the subject of the documentary "Living With Pride: Ruth C. Ellis @ 100" and is the namesake of the Ruth Ellis Center, a shelter for homeless and at-risk LGBTQ youth in Detroit.

Celebrate Ruth Ellis.

A lot of people in the notes are getting real defensive while missing the point of the post. For one thing, no where on this post does it tell you not to shop at these places or that youre a bad person if you do. The post is about showing the hypocrisy of these brands emptily co-opting social justice movements for profit, something extremely rampant right now. Its an information post. Its an attack on the corporations, not the individual.

[reverseracism]

Thousands across the country are still organizing and marching for Black Lives Matter. It’s just not being covered as much. 🤔🤔🤔

[thetattedstoner]

They only care when shit is being stolen or on fire

[sbrown82]

Word!

[murdaawasthecase-deactivated202]

Shit is just a mockery and hella weird.

Another point: when Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon came out a lot of people saw it in theaters. The movie is entirely in Chinese and was subtitled. I don’t remember anyone complaining about it. I remember being so immersed in the movie that I thought they were speaking English.

More subtitles and captions in movie theaters 2k20.

[king-emare]

True. I just saw Parasite. All subtitles. No complaints.

[hilikus322]

Ok you try keeping up with a movie in a language you don’t understand and tell me how that worked out for you. I get the point you’re trying to make that we should have subtitles for people who are deaf but what if the theater has zero deaf people in it? We then have subs going for no reason and shouldn’t deaf people already know wtf is going on in a quiet place if they’re using sign language why tf would they need subsas well? Isn’t that the equivalent of them having subs while the person is speaking clear English? 😂

[kraetys]

Ok but what’s wrong with subs in that situation or at all?

Pros for subs:

Everyone can understand

You can read those quiet ass parts in the movie when you can’t hear em for shit

You can read those loud ass parts in the movie where you can’t understand shit

If there’s any accents or different dialects you can still understand

Cons for subs:

You could possibly call the very small portion at the bottom of the screen used for the writing a con on lost visual but letters are on clear backgrounds so you can see the movie behind, and if you’re gonna complain about >1% of screen space I have nothing else to say to you

[narwhalsarefalling]

also newsflash asshole: deaf people dont go to the theater BECAUSE theres no subtitles you fuckin jackass, not bc they cant hear.

also a quite place isn’t easy to understand even without the subtitles bc the sign language is often obscured in the movie. asl is done face to face, if someone is signing but u cant see their face you cant understand what theyre saying. i know asl and i still had to read the subtitles bc its like someone is talkin real quiet even if the volume is turned all the way up. normalize subtitles.

[theartisticintrovert]

not to mention people with auditory processing issues. i hear just fine but my brain lags worse than a virus riddled laptop so i can’t understand shit no matter how loud it is. subtitles fill in the gaps and make the movie easier to understand.

[swimmingblue]

also, The Shape of Water did really well showing that a character with a hearing issue can be a main character and it works. The movie didn’t suffer because Elisa was mute - it made the audience think a bit harder, sure, but it worked fine. 

[canary-prince]

Not all deaf people know asl, fyi.

[rawwkingrimmie64]

So y'all can binge watch your favorite anime in a week and make mile long gifsets of your favorite shows on Tumblr, but draw the line at subtitled movies? What a joke! Just say that you’re ableist and move on.
