#Blackout for Minneapolis. For Louisville. For Toronto. For Brooklyn. #Blackout for Us All.

To the #Blackout Community and Tumblr at large, 

We know you must have a lot of questions or are feeling distressed about the news. The world has been dealing with a lot this year, and it is an especially harrowing time for Black Americans and Black folks abroad. We know your biggest question right now could be summed up by a quote from Toni Morrison:

“What can I do where I am?”

Here at #TheBlackout, we have decided to help you start finding an answer to that question - we feel that we need each other. We need unity, organization, a clear sense of direction, but more importantly, a space where you can be yourself without judgement or fear.

So, in addition to boosting your art and businesses, our highest priority right now is to provide you all with resources to help you start from where you are.

This is a masterpost of places you can donate, find mental health + spaces for radical self-care, and just do something fun. We will be adding on as things change.

Since a lot of people here suddently stopped reblogging, here's a friendly reminder to reblog art/writing because in this way you can actually HELP artists/writers to get the stuff they post seen by others, letting them know what without taking away op's control on the post and

So please. PLEASE. Reblog art, reblog writing, it's full of small artists and authors here, who aren't going anywhere because people aren't reblogging anymore. Give artists and writers the occasion to grow, to become famous and bring happiness to others with their content. Because we put effort in what we do, and sometimes not getting any appreciation is very demotivating, and that could also bring someone to stop posting, y'know?

Reblogs make people who post original content feel valid, appreciated, supported. And people who reblog are a godsend.

And remember: ✨REBLOGS✨ and 💀REPOSTS💀 AREN'T THE SAME THING. Reblogging is good. Reposting is bad.
