I went to elementary school in the 80's, many of them, actually; and every February, each of them taught me that I lived in a country that no longer had racial issues – because we no longer "saw race." ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Like the myth about a peaceful first Thanksgiving, this was propaganda, and it was not accidental. White Americans are culturally conditioned to think that racial problems are thing of the past, and that's done in order to keep the machine of society running smoothly...because the machine was built on racism. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ After slavery ended, who do you think took up all that work? It started being done by prisoners. And where do you think those prisoners came from? Black people, especially men, getting arrested en masse for things like loitering and jaywalking. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Do you think that could have had a cyclic affect on future generations? Especially when combined with efforts like redlining, which racially oppressed people from joining the owning class? Especially when most of those lines still hold fast, despite the practice being made illegal 80 years ago? (Watch 13th on Netflix, by @ava, it's gold.)⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ NOT SEEING RACE IS HOW THIS SHIT IS STILL HAPPENING.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Ignoring an issue doesn't make it go away. In this case, it makes racist authoritarians literally think they can get away with murder.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ We must actively confront the racist paradigms of our culture and decolonize our minds, we must educate ourselves and speak about things that we learn.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I SEE YOU. I LOVE YOU. WE ARE EQUAL.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #blackouttuesday #blm #blacklivesmatter #antiracism #13th

I love you, #LongBeach. Going to bed with images of today’s peaceful protest in mind. ❤️

#FucklessAdventures, T13: Wear something unusual for you. . I LOVE aesthetics, though I’ve been very word-focused in recent years, I’m also a visual artist and have been loving the makeup trends of late — but my love of comfort is stronger, plus I mush up my face/ruin makeup when I smile, and like to smile, so don’t usually really bother 🤷‍♀️ . So this challenge, plus #quarantinefancyfriday, was a great reason to finally try and copy some inspo from @glowupbbc and @euphoria! I was going to see how long it held up, but was feeling fragile and cried when I realized I missed a Zoom call 🤣 (This is why I have to monitor my news exposure...) . I thought it too much earlier, but it’s looking cute to me now; perhaps the shock of eyeliner after so long just took a minute to adjust to... Hope your Friday’s fabulous 😘 . . I’m testing out my dearest bookbaby, #howilostallmyfucks: a fuckfull to fuckless tale, 30-day meditation challenge, and bunches of fuckless adventuring 🙌 . . #quarantinelife #makeup #cutcrease #booklover #booklovers #personaldevelopment #writersofinstagram #learnsomethingnew

Our unarmed black citizens have been killed by authorities in our country for it's duration, but now it's being filmed – and people are still saying racism isn't a thing anymore. How is this possible?⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Text 'Floyd,' 'Enough,' and 'Justice' to 55156 for petitions to help demand change.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ But, perhaps more importantly – we need to speak out against it and call it out when we see it, especially if we're of the only complexion that doesn't have to deal with this bullshit aimed at us.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ We all have to deal with it though. Until we start looking at each other's problems as our problems, we'll never know lasting solutions, stability, or peace.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Sending all the hugs today.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ (I will continue to keep most of my political thoughts on Twitter, same handle, but this needed to be on both.)⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #blacklivesmatter #floydgeorge #socialjustice #racism #policebrutality #icantbreathe

#FucklessAdventures, T12: Take a whole minute to completely savor something delicious. . What a happy accident this was! I didn’t have a solid grocery plan so just grabbed a @delallofoods bruschetta, which I wasn’t even sure would go on pasta as I’d never bought it before — but ohhhh it does. I didn’t even mean to do this challenge, I just found myself savoring it so much I wasn’t paying attention to my show and realized there’d been another happy accident. It was a real Bob Ross of a meal. . I’m testing out #howilostallmyfucks, my dearest bookbaby — 30 days getting mindful and shaking up our vibes. I’m seeking a book deal and am very grateful for digital support! 🙌 . 📸: Happy at the lagoon the other day; and getting reflective with oracle cards and reframing old memories, which is basically taking a new lesson out of a experience that left you with disempowering beliefs. Taking your power back where it matters most, your own mind. . . . #booklovers #writersofinstagram #glutenfreedairyfree #spirituality #personaldevelopment #readersofinstagram #happyaccident
