Vote in her honor. Make her proud.
ruth bader ginsburg has died. call your senators and remind them over and over and over again of mitch mcconnell’s own rule to not replace supreme court justices in a presidential election year. call them as many times as it takes until they agree to not fill the seat until 2021. 202-224-3121

the thing that’s getting me about chadwick, is how tired he must have been. how much strength it takes to be undergoing painful treatment and invasive surgery, and to still be creating art. to know you probably will not live to a ripe old age and to say “i’m creating a legacy now” and using the time you have on this earth to tell black stories, to embody a warrior and a king for black people to see themselves reflected in, to create art. that sort of strength deserved to live, it deserved to survive. it’s so incredibly unfair.
rest in power chadwick, we watched you play a hero but little did we know, the hero was you all along. wakanda forever and always king.
HOW TO DONATE TO BLM WHEN YOU HAVE NO MONEY
a black woman named zoe amira posted a video on youtube. this video is an hour long and filled with art and music from black creators. it has a ton of ads, and in result will rack up a ton of revenue. 100% of the ad revenue from the video will be dispersed between various blm organizations, including bail-out funds for protesters. it will be split between the following, dependent on necessity
- brooklyn bail fund
- minnesota freedom fund
- atlanta action network
- columbus freedom fund
- louisville community bail fund
- chicago bond
- black visions collective
- richmond community bail fund
- the bail project inc
- nw com bail fund
- philadelphia bail fund
- the korchhinski-parquet family gofundme
- george floyd’s family gofundme
- blacklivesmatter.com
- reclaim the block
- aclu
please, please reblog. for people who don’t have money to spare, this is incredibly important information to have.
Reblogging again to add that the comments section is filled with instructions on HOW to stream this through the day, and it’s not just “put it on and leave it” so I thought I would copy over the instructions:
- Do not watch the video as a repetition through the “again” symbol, and do not watch it as part of a playlist.
- Do not skip the ads (obviously), fast forward, or pause playback
- Watch the entire thing through (or leave it playing) in at least 480p (the higher the better it seems) and do not mute the video; you can turn off your computer sound or mute the browser if you need, but leave the video volume alone.
- Once you have watched the entire thing, do not immediately repeat it. Watch between 3 and 5 other videos completely through. Vary the number and which videos you watch so they do not count as spam, and do not delete them from your history.
- After you have watched those videos, search for this video through youtube - do not just play it from your history - and watch it all the way through again the same way. Do not clear your search history afterward.
- Comment, Like, and share the video.
- Rinse and repeat as many times as you can.
Anyway I hope that helps someone.

tips
- if you’re stressed out in a crowd, sing to yourself quietly. the familiarity of the song is comforting; the action of singing will help distract you. singing will help keep you anchored to yourself in chaotic situations.
- you could also use a visual anchor throughout the day to keep you grounded, such as looking up at the clouds or even out of the window if you’re inside all day.
- similarly, try doing an action with rhythm, such as clenching your fists and letting them go when you feel overwhelmed- the regularity will help soothe you.
- try breathing techniques, such as these six techniques by TIME magazine.
- remember that alcohol and caffeine can aggravate stress & panic and anxiety problems you might already have had. consider examining your habits and regulating these if you feel like they might be making things worse
- make time in your day for a “worry period”: set a time each day (not just before bed, as it might affect your sleep) to sit down and think about everything that’s worrying you. if you feel overwhelmed during the day, make a note of it and save it for your worry period- then when the time comes, you can sit down and address everything on the list. the rest of the day is a worry-free zone.
- the 2 minute rule- if something that’s bothering you is solvable and will take 2 minutes or less to do, then do it now. it might take an effort to start, but once you’ve finished, you won’t need to worry about it again.
- however, don’t be too hard on yourself if you started a task and you can’t finish it. it’s better to do things incrementally (i.e. bit by bit) than stress yourself out trying to do a huge thing in one go.
- remember that thinking about what could go wrong isn’t going to make the situation any better. life isn’t predictable- just change what you can.
- challenge your thoughts- “is this thought rational? what’s causing it? where’s the solid evidence that this is the truth? how will worrying about this help me in the long run?” and lastly, “how can i look at this in a more positive or optimistic way?”
- it may help to picture yourself floating in water. picture your worries floating past in the water, and as they pass, acknowledge them and then move on. don’t react or judge them- this is also called the movie technique, where you picture your life on a movie screen.
- however, when you feel completely overwhelmed, it might be best just to distract yourself- get out of your own head! don’t think about the big picture. read a book instead, do a household task, have a bath, play with a pet…
- one thing you can have control over is yourself- take a shower if you need one, drink a glass of water, do your hair (even if it’s just a messy bun), have a piece of fruit or try one of the quick recipes above.
- “walk and talk therapy” can be super helpful- if you can find someone to talk to, ask them to take a wander with you. the act of walking can promote deeper and more creative ways of thinking due to the mood-boosting endorphins released when you do any physical exercise- and it’s almost as though you’re becoming physically “unstuck”, walking away from your problems.
- don’t worry too much about what other people think of you- we really don’t notice as much about other people as we think. and even if something does happen, people are sympathetic and will understand. they’ve most likely been through it too!
- try journalling- write down all your negative thoughts. once it’s on the page, it’s left your head. this really works!
- make the phone call. send the text. write the email. don’t stress over what you’re saying, just shia labeouf it.
- you can always try to fit natural mood boosters into your diet- such as nuts, soya products e.g. milk and yogurt, dark green leafy veg, dark orange vegetables, broth/ soups, legumes, citrus, wheatgerm, tart cherries, and berries. bananas are also an all-round super food, and while it’s been disproved that they can flat-out cure things like depression, they’re definitely recommended as a natural sugar, and good for energy.
lastly, try a personal mantra to get you through:
- it’s always darkest just before dawn.
- i am the rock that the sea breaks against.
- may i be happy, healthy, and free from pain.
- i’ve conquered this before and i’ll do it again.
- i am strong. i am worthy. i am enough.
- i allow and i trust.
- it’s never too late to start my day over.
- tomorrow is another day. (margaret mitchell)
- feel the fear and do it anyway. (susan jeffers)
- action conquers fear. (peter nivio zarlenga)
- in the world through which i travel, i am endlessly creating myself. (franz fanon)
- excellence does not require perfection. (henry james)
- it takes courage to grow up and become who you really are. (e.e. cummings)
- our greatest glory is not in ever falling, but in rising every time we fall. (confucius)
i hope you find the courage to get through whatever life throws at you today.
and finally, take molly weasley’s advice- there’s nothing you can’t fix with a good cup of tea!
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
