via bree newsome bass on twitter: 

“The widely circulated timeline created by @Zerflin does a great job in showing how recently slavery & segregation occurred & that they lasted longer than the modern era. 

“I'd like to offer this timeline as another way of viewing the same period of history to show the constancy of both Black resistance in US & efforts of the white power structure to maintain racial caste since 1619.”

This is so good. Makes me feel like I'm really helping.

Which I need, because this kind of sucks.

If you're staying home during #Quarantine2020 you're helping make things better than they would be otherwise

For anyone else really feeling the effects of wide-scale gaslighting, feeling like you’re totally insane for still staying home while everyone else tries to go back to normal:

You’re not insane, you are doing the right thing. Please keep doing it. I love you.

Megan Thee Stallion: Why I Speak Up for Black Women

“I’m not afraid of criticism, and “Protect Black women” should not be controversial.”

[iameriwa]

Black Women’s bones are not made of steel

Our skin bruises, and our tear ducts work. Black Women cry when we are feeling pain. Black Women feel anxious when we are scared. Black Women battle mental health. Black Women have body images. Black Women FEEL. BLACK WOMEN are human

#BlackWomenMatter 💜✊🏾

Red Table Talk

Will Smith: “You know why I never got a divorce?”

Jada: “It’s cheaper to keep me.”

[everyone laughs]

Will: “‘Cause I’ve never met anybody like you, and I knew if I wasn’t with you, I’d be searching in vain for the rest of my life.”

...just FYI, if you get into this manga, remember that in Japan they read/write from right to left (didn't hit me til after a few planels).
