Black Lives Matter: It’s more than a hashtag.

We kicked off this year with a celebration of Black voices and storytellers, showcasing their continuous contributions to science, music, art, literature, media, fashion, gaming, and many other fields. With #BlackExcellence365, we also highlighted artists like Aundre Larrow (@aundrelarrow) and Gianni Lee (@giannilee).

As the country dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic, Black communities disproportionately fell victim to undue violence and death at the hands of the very institutions that were built to serve them. In May, for eight minutes and 46 seconds, the world watched as George Floyd’s life was snatched from him at the hand, or rather under the knee, of an officer sworn to protect him. In eight minutes and 46 seconds, George Floyd was added to a long list of names that live on through hashtags. In the wake of his brutal murder, the world erupted in protest. 

In eight unbearable minutes and 46 horrifying seconds, “Black Lives Matter” had a new meaning. Overnight, the words transformed from a hashtag into something more tangible, something to live by and enact. For many, they represented the beginning of a journey of learning and unlearning—of edification and empathy. For others, they served as the echoed cry of the angry, anguished, and heartbroken. “Black Lives Matter” is more than a movement. It’s a space to mourn the loss of the countless Black men and women who were murdered—like Floyd—for simply being themselves. 

We remember and never forget:

Breonna Taylor | George Floyd | Elijah McClain | Rayshard Brooks | Daniel Prude | Tony McDade | David McAtee | Walter Wallace | Kevin Peterson | James Scurlock | Atatiana Jefferson | Aura Rosser | Stephon Clark| Botham Jean | Philando Castille | Alton Sterling | Michelle Cusseaux | Freddie Gray | Janisha Fonville | Eric Garner | Akai Gurley | Gabriella Nevarez | Sandra Bland | Tamir Rice | Michael Brown | Tanisha Anderson | Korryn Gaines | Rekia Boyd | Kayla Moore | Amadou Diallo | Sean Bell | Oscar Grant III | and countless others

#BlackLivesMatter has been trending on Tumblr since May, where it will remain for as long as the community stays engaged. By sharing resources, artwork, and communities we can keep important causes top of mind for us all.

Keep the flame going for those we have lost to suicide. 

This is terrifying...

A lady asked me how much it cost to make her a purse of a well known style in cotton fabric of a particular design and colour. £35 - I said. She said she thought that was a bit dear for a purse. I asked her how much she thought it would cost her to make one then. She thought about £10 as you can get similar in Primarni for £8 OK, so for £10 do it yourself I said Her reply was - I don’t know how to. I said for £10 I’ll teach you how to. So besides saving you £25 you’ll get the knowledge if you ever want to make another. She seemed pleased and agreed. OK I said, you’ll need a machine, cutting mat, rotary cutter, rivet press and the pattern. Oh well….. I don’t have many of things and I can’t justify buying all that just to make one purse. Well then for another £10 more I’ll lend you my stuff to you so you can do it at my house. Okay, she says. Great, I replied, come round on Tuesday afternoon and we’ll make a start Oh, I can’t come on Tuesday I’m having my hair done! Sorry, but I’m only available Tuesday to teach you and lend you my stuff. Other days are busy with other bags and purses. Bugger, that means I’ll have to miss my haircut. Oh, I forgot, I said, to make one yourself you also have to pay for the sundry costs. Now she’s confused – what on earth are they?? Fabric search time, electric, wear and tear on the machine, blades for the cutter etc She looks at me and says – but that’s ridiculous you can absorb all that cost as you are charging me to borrow your stuff. I could, I said, but I’m not spending time looking for the fabric you need you can do that yourself – you need 3 fat quarters of fabric, buckram, woven interfacing, non woven interfacing, a lock, rivets and matching thread. So she then says - I’ve been thinking, I think I’d rather pay you the £35. It’s too complicated to make one for myself, it wouldn’t be as well made and it would cost me a hell of a lot more than £35. When you pay for a hand crafted item, you pay not only for the material used, but also: - knowledge - experience - tools - services - time - enthusiasm Only by knowing all the elements necessary for the production of a certain item can you estimate the actual cost.

PARENTING DONE RIGHT BY JIMIN’S DAD! BUT ALSO LET’S NOT FORGET ABOUT TEACHING DONE RIGHT TOO!!

Jimin did well in school and was even the class’ president (something usually only the best student can do). He had amazing grades and worked hard even though it wasn’t easy based on his circumstances.

But Jimin wanted to pursue music, so his teacher persuaded his dad. His father was a bit scared and hesitant at the start. As he loves Jimin so much he wanted the best for him. But once he realized that his son’s happiness was what matters. That parents can’t write their children future but should help them write their own, since then Jimin’s dad supported his dream fully. And so did his teacher.

To this day Jimin’s dad will visit the teacher and bring BTS’ new album. Jimin also never forgot about the man who supported him. He never forgot about his friends. He never forgot about his school and origins. 

Jimin might look very caring and kind to many but it’s only natural when you realize how his dad treated him. Jimin’s Kind-Hearted dad always looked after him.

To this day Jimin’s dad always send him flowers on his birthday no matter where Jimin is. When on tour he even sent a bouquet of flowers, a gift, and a touching card to Amsterdam.

This only shows that if parents treat their children well and if school educate and supports children in what they do best. Our society might have more Jimins. Kind and supportive people than can make our world a brighter place. 

Please, if you read this. Rather than blame many which will do nothing but bring more negativity, try to be the exception. If you have or will ever have children, be Jimin’s dad to your child. If you are or will ever be a teacher, be Jimin’s teacher to your students. Or just be a Jimin to the people around you and hopefully more people would learn to become future Jimins too. Kindness is more powerful and inspiring than you can imagine and acts of kindness are easier than it seems and more rewarding.

Please reblog this if you believe that people under the age of 18 still need to have privacy and being a minor does not invalidate their feelings/need to have a safe space.

not a dream

this might be a little different, but today I am here to expose vile behavior of a white tiktok user that has gained 30,000 followers on harassing Korean men, and getting away with it by trying to appear/be cute

although she’s deleted most of her videos by now (she probably got called out before or received rightful backlash), her account used to be full of proof of such behavior, and she recently went back to posting similar content (does she think people forgot?)

grabbing random people you don’t even know and forcing your touch and hugs on them is sexual harassment and abuse

her @ is 8_alesha

this screenshot of her account was sent to me, and that’s how I became aware of her vile behavior

she’s catering to her fellow koreaboo young audience by continuing on to do stuff like this, and I don’t think she should be allowed to get away with it anymore

before she deletes her most recents, here she is grabbing a random boy on the streets, making him uncomfortable, posing with him and trying to appear cute while he is trying to get away

here’s another example - it’s clear that the boys and men in her videos don’t know how to react and are uncomfortable, but she’s getting away with everything because she knows they’re all too polite to make a scene and are caught off guard

this is so messed up

does anyone have any idea what can be done? can her account be reported? I’ve heard this kind of behavior is a trend among some white tiktokers living in Korea and Japan and that they have a niche audience of kids who eat this up, which is so messed up, we should not be normalizing this kind of abhorrent behavior

I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THEM TO USE AS MY BACKGROUND FOR EVERY SEASON!!!!! THANK YOUUU

The person I reblogged this from is super cute and deserves to have a nice day
