Pandora And The Flying Dutchman (1951) Dir. Albert Lewin

im not being funny but artistry will save your life. music, painting, pottery, writing, carving, weaving, the act of creating will save you.

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

literally any true crime doc will just straight up tell you that almost every unsolved case in history is due to police incompetence or outright intentional negligence 

Mood

I've noticed that a lot of people are doing whatever they can to not acknowledge that Toyin was murdered by a Black man. That she was the victim of Black men throughout her life.

But we need to acknowledge that sexist violence is real. That many people who support Black men or are even anti-police brutality more broadly still will casually abuse, assault, and even murder Black women.

Black women are under attack within our own community. Just as women of all races are under attack by the men in their communities.

But if BLM as a social movement is going to work out we need to hold our community to a higher standard and actively address, call out, and correct the violence Black men impart on Black women.

That starts with naming the problem. And "good" Black men need to take the most active part in addressing the problem because it's their acquaintances, their brothers, friends, cousins, etc who are friendly and in solidarity with them all while they abuse every Black woman around them other than their momma who are the problem.

And the closer I got

The more splinters appeared on my chest

But still, I had to hold you

I had to believe.”
