This is a great response and I am going to use it!
Black kids deserve to be treated like kids.
Black kids deserve to be able to grow up at their own pace instead of being held to adult standards as children.
Black kids deserve to grow up without fear that white adults will somehow feel “threatened” by them and make them suffer for it.
Black kids deserve a safe place to unload their thoughts and feelings without being belittled or punished for it.
Black kids deserve a support system.
Black kids deserve to be taken seriously.
Black kids deserve to take up space.
Mostly I reblog so I can look at things again
True for me, true for you 💓
You deserve to be seen, you deserve to be loved as you are right now, not by proving how useful you can be to someone because you’re not a machine. You’re not an object. You’re just another human, as valuable as anyone else.
No single line has ever wrecked me as hard as this one from the Good Place and I think about it constantly

If you really like someone’s art/writing/etc, even if you’re scared to talk to them, tell them. I have really bad anxiety myself, and I’m usually scared to talk to people I like, even online. But when I have actually worked up the nerve to tell someone I like their work, literally every time the person has been nice, and even thankful. Why? Because nothing feels better than to know that someone loves something you created, or that what you made has helped them through a rough time. By telling them what they’ve done for you, you do something for them too!
