HOW TO DONATE TO BLM WHEN YOU HAVE NO MONEY

a black woman named zoe amira posted a video on youtube. this video is an hour long and filled with art and music from black creators. it has a ton of ads, and in result will rack up a ton of revenue. 100% of the ad revenue from the video will be dispersed between various blm organizations, including bail-out funds for protesters. it will be split between the following, dependent on necessity

brooklyn bail fund

minnesota freedom fund

atlanta action network

columbus freedom fund

louisville community bail fund

chicago bond

black visions collective

richmond community bail fund

the bail project inc

nw com bail fund

turn off your adblocker and put the video on repeat. do not skip ads. let it play on loop whether you’re listening or not. mute the tab if you need to focus elsewhere. but let. it. play.

youtube will donate to blm for you.

please, please reblog. for people who don’t have money to spare, this is incredibly important information to have.

To reiterate what many people have already said, 4chan has no power as long as we don’t let them have any.

It’s such a small group that it’ll be near impossible for them to hit a significant amount of people.

If you see someone harassing you, report and block them, do not give the troll attention.

Once they realize no one cares about them, they’ll give up and go back to their echo chamber to stroke each other’s egos.

I do not mean this to shame anyone who may be taking some precautions against these extremists, but more as a reminder that disengaging with discourse is the fastest way to end it.

Stay safe out there.

—P.S.

Why bother coming out to people when you can just shave off half your hair, break fashion trends and wear bracelets with your pride flags on.

In light of a bunch of bullshit I've been seeing, here's a quick reminder (tw for murder and correctional rape):

Asexual/aromantic people were at stonewall, and the Stonewall Inn PROUDLY supports asexual people.

Asexual/aromantic people get raped because they're seen as needing to be "fixed".

An asexual girl DIED because she was ace.(Bianca Devins, 17 years old)

Asexual people were told that they were medically incorrect, had a mental illness, and even got fucking banned from driving in russia. That is systematic oppression from medical and governmental powers.

Aromantic people are often afterthoughts in arguments (including my own before this revision, which was a terrible thing on my part) and generally not given the same opportunities to voice their issues the same the a/allosexual people.

Aromantic peoples issues often get ignored, making it hard to find any reliable sources talking about the things they go through that arent just parrotings of asexual issues.

Asexual and aromantic people are here. We exist, and we didnt fight for you beside Marsha P. Johnson, Silvia Rivera, and Storme Delravrie for you to sit there and say we arent a part of the community they helped create.

Ace/aro people are lgbtq+, we arent broken, and we are deserving of our rights just as you are.

And as a note to any asexual/aro person reading this, I love you, and solidarity is always welcome with me.

You can be asexual and enjoy sex. You can be aromantic and enjoy doing romantic coded things or being in a romantic relationship. If the ace/aro label is still working for you and you’re still finding it useful, that’s all that matters.

A niche meme inspired by a passage in River Out of Eden by Richard Dawkins, where he has a go at sex for making genetic lineages harder to follow.

I dunno dude if you ain't safe for aces, aros, demis, pans, or enbys you ain't safe for the rest of the community.

Aspec people are LGBT+

They are not "valid but not necessarily part of-" no, no, just say you're aphobic and go.

Excluding aspec people from the LGBT+ community is aphobic. It doesn't matter if you "think they're valid" because you obviously don't think that if they're not considered part of the community. If you're going to be aphobic, just say you're aphobic.

Oh, and if you are aphobic or an exclusionist? Get off my blog. You're not welcome here.

[too-ace-for-this-space]

Aphobia is so mainstream that people don’t even know they’re doing it and like I’m sick of it honestly. People not knowing we exist doesn’t change how we’re treated and in fact asexual experiences heavily overlap with gay and lesbian experiences but people seem to plug their ears and sing every time I try to explain that to them.

WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY TO REMEMBER ACES ARE A PART OF THE LGBT COMMUNITY BY DEFAULT

🏳️‍🌈 HAPPY PRIDE EVERYONE 🏳️‍🌈

[too-ace-for-this-space]

To all of us who are a wacky mess and don't really understand wtf we are.

You are valid my friend. Just because you don't know which one suits you best or you just don't like fitting into one term, you're okay, you're still part of the community and I love you.

Stay strong!
