some things to keep doing this Black history month…and the other 11 months of the year: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ reading Black-authored books (all genres!) learning from Black anti-racist educators (and paying for their time too!) supporting Black-owned businesses + creators donating your time/money/resources to Black organizations amplifying and listening to Black voices making short-term and long-term actionable goals to support Black liberation (in ways the Black community is actually asking for!) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Can’t stress enough my friends the importance of honoring the Black community 365 days of the year, but this upcoming month is certainly no better of a time to keep learning more about Black history, celebrating Black joy, supporting Black creators/educators authentically, and holding yourself accountable to actionable steps in supporting Black liberation today and everyday. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Many Black educators are kindly putting out paid and free resources for Black history month, a huge reminder that you can and should pay them for their time if you are able to. Support them on Patreon, buy their classes, drop some funds in their Venmo, show them that their time matters to you.

Anyways happy Black History Month!

Remember to support Black people! Not just famous black people, but Black people in your everyday life. Elevate their voices. Listen to them. Black men, women and nonbinary people. Lightskin and darkskin Black people. Disabled Black people, Black people with all sorts of conditions. LGBTQ+ and cishet Black people. Black people all over the world.

Not just February, but every day of every month, every year.

Hey Y’all, In wake of so many terrible things that have happened this year, especially to black people, I think we need to remind ourselves to take care of our mental health. As black people we deal with so much on the daily, whether it be to police brutality or even racial discrimination in the workplace, or even the neglect that black women receive in hospitals. These things effect our mental heath in ways many people will not understand. 

According to the Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health, Black adults in the U.S. are more likely than white adults to report persistent symptoms of emotional distress, such as sadness, hopelessness, and feeling like everything is an effort. Black adults living below the poverty line are more than twice as likely to report serious psychological distress than those living above it. These can effect you even more if you are black and queer.

Despite the needs, only one in three Black or African American adults who need mental health care receive it. According to the American Psychiatric Association’s Mental Health Facts for African Americans guide, African Americans are:

Less likely to receive guideline-consistent care

Less frequently included in research

​More likely to use emergency rooms or primary care (rather than mental health specialists)

To everyone our there, Please take care of your mental health. Your life has value and purpose! YOUR MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS! Here are some links that I think you may find helpful if you need any help finding aid:

How to Ditch Amazon

Support your local libraries and the small businesses that are actually making the products you want.  Fuck Jeff Bezos and the systemic, universal worker abuse, gaslighting, and brutality they live off of.
