[strawberry-shortcake-dessert]

For centuries, Black labor, Black knowledge, and Black survival have been extracted and commodified—profiting everyone but us. We are here to disrupt that cycle.

Black people—Black women, Black men, Black nonbinary and gender-expansive people—should not have to exhaust themselves, over-explain, or prove their worth just to receive the support they deserve.

Yet, time and time again, we see how liberation work is underfunded when it does not center whiteness.

You’ve Seen This Happen Before.

📌 Maybe you donated to a racial justice cause in 2020.

📌 Maybe you posted a Black square.

📌 Maybe you showed up when the movement was trending.

But justice isn’t a one-time investment—it’s a lifelong commitment.

Ask yourself:

👉 Why are Black people still forced to fight for resources while white-led fundraisers hit six figures overnight?

👉 Why is “allyship” loud when it’s performative, but silent when Black communities need real, tangible support?

👉 If you say you care about Black liberation, does your giving reflect that?

This is where you get to make a real impact.

🌍 Meet the Black liberation educators bringing anti-racism work into communities—without the institutional funding that white-led organizations receive.

❤️ Meet the mutual aid organizers ensuring Black people have food, rent support, and access to mental health care.

🖤 Meet the community healers creating spaces of rest, joy, and resistance—despite burnout and lack of resources.

🚨Sign the petition on @stud.ent.activism bio!! "As she lay dying in a Joliette, Que., hospital bed, an Atikamekw woman clicked her phone on and broadcast a Facebook Live video appearing to show her being insulted and sworn at by hospital staff. In the video viewed by CBC News, the 37-year-old is heard screaming in distress and repeatedly calling for help.  Eventually, her video picks up the voices of staff members. One hospital staff member tells her, “You’re stupid as hell.” Another is heard saying Echaquan made bad life choices and asking her what her children would say if they saw her in that state. At a news conference about COVID-19 on Tuesday afternoon, Quebec Premier Francois Legault said the situation was “not acceptable” and that one of the nurses involved had been fired."

Peace isn’t always gained peacefully.

[ptdn]

having time to spend is  a privilege. The world goes fast, but demands go faster. People are trying to make ends meet. People are shaped by capitalist demands to give everything of themselves, creating anxious vibrating bodies who worry about staying in line of market for longer than 5 minutes, worried about commute time to get back home already being exausted and having more things to do before sleeping. 

People are NOT not enjoying things simply because they choose not to. There is no need to add more weight into peoples hearts: “YOU MUST ENJOY THINGS. NOW.” Fuck no.

Check. Your. Privilege.

sorry idk but the way the world is so fast and the people in it still want it to be faster is sooo annoying to me. people groaning while standing in line for 3 minutes people being mad the train ride is gonna take 2 hours people complaining that the bus is a few minutes late people being angry that construction work is taking months even though it used to take decades. don't you see the world is already so so so fast in every single aspect can't you understand that being mad will do nothing and just make your mood worse. enjoy the moments of stillness you're given. just stand in line and look at the people around you. sit on the train and watch the scenery. you'll get there.

Happy International Women's Day, aka the one day of the year in which the world actually celebrates women, apart from the other 364 days in which the world celebrates men... Sarcastic enough?

We Canadians need to learn the difference between a #problem and an #inconvenience. An inconvenience is having to drive around a blockade. A problem is not having access to drinking An inconvenience is waiting an extra hour for a train. A problem is the police ignoring the deaths of hundreds of your sisters due to systemic racism. Let’s get our priorities straight. #wetsuwetenstrong #shutdowncanada #checkyourprivilege @justinpjtrudeau @williamsterlingblair @rcmpgrcpolice @bcrcmp @ontarioprovincialpolice https://www.instagram.com/p/B9CZpm7pHmN/?igshid=au1yj44lzh6v

On Privilege by Lady Macabre Beth

Unpopular Opinion: I don’t think that being privileged is a sin. There is no shame in being privileged. It is something to be grateful for especially if your ancestors sacrificed for us future generations to have a better life. That’s a wonderful thing. In fact, the beauty of privilege is that you get to share it through generosity. It is only a sin if you use it to step on those who don’t have as much as you.

Did you ever spend few minutes to read all the 30 articles in the original declaration? If you claim being part of those who believe in human rights, it's something you should do. Then check yourself and your opinions. #checkyourself #humanrights #equality #checkyourprivilege
