Black-Owned Alternative Shops 2

turns out my life purpose isn’t supposed to be as small and silent and accommodating and convenient as possible

I'm so fucking sick of this racist ass country murdering my people in the streets every fucking week, simply for existing.

please don’t forget about breonna taylor in all this. just because her death wasn’t caught on camera and thoughtlessly circulated doesn’t mean that her story is less important. black women’s lives matter.

a lot of men say they want women to embrace their natural beauty but they really just want women who are already “pretty enough” without makeup to not wear makeup… like, you don’t want someone to show their natural acne and scars and natural hyper pigmentation, you don’t let women have their natural mustaches, chin hair, beards, and unibrows without shitting on them, which is exactly how they grow for a lot of people, etc. you want women to wax and shape their natural brows, remove their natural facial hair and body hair, and do a strict skincare regimen to manipulate the chemistry and physiological processes of their skin to maintain clear unblemished skin and adhere to already existing beauty standards. you just don’t want them to wear the style of makeup you don’t like lol

If you are a black driver in USA, you should immediately install a dash cam facing the interior of your car.

People on twitter have talked about it before but please don’t listen to what random people online say about how to handle teargas, read what the CDC says about how to handle exposure

This is ❤️
