additional info:

-> “why wasn’t this book listed?” probably because it wasn’t black sapphic-centric, the author isn’t a black sapphic themself, or i just simply haven’t heard of it! so feel free to add on if it meets those two criteria

many of these books require trigger warnings, especially some of the older ones that are more likely to feature racial struggles of the time. please do your due diligence and search for tws if you want to read them!

please feel free to add onto this list in the rbs or comments! happy black history month

the EXU squad have my heart and Orym calling Fearne “Fearnie” just gave me so much joy (squeezed in a quick doodle tonight, I haven’t had much time to draw but hopefully I can go wild soon >:))

"These are not numbers… these are our children."

Two children in this photo—covered in blood. One still breathing, the other… we don’t know. Since the ceasefire was broken, over 500 children in Gaza have been killed. But that number isn’t just a statistic. That number could be my son. That number could be your child.

I am a mother. My child is injured. And I live each moment with his pain. His wounds are on his body, but the ache is rooted deep in my heart. He doesn’t ask for much—just a chance. A chance to survive. A chance to travel. A chance to get treatment. And I am asking you—please stand with me.

Help me save my son, before he becomes just another number on the list of martyrs.

Every share, every donation, every prayer—can make a difference. From a wounded mother… to your hearts.
