Thread from my IG:
Confronting Filipinx Anti-Blackness and How to Avoid Indigenous Erasure
I don’t have all the answers, like at all, but I’m giving what I can so we can collectively do better!
My blackness has not changed! My queerness has not changed! My moral values have not changed! But yet all are being challenged! Forever with #BlackLivesMatter #BlackTransLivesMatter #RiseUp
in order to address anti-blackness in our community, we must learn more about the history of it in our countries. El Salvador is seen as a country without any Black population, however @breenache tells us through their art that this is far from the truth: https://t.co/4Fr8yEH6y1

all the fights against racism and anti blackness lately has inspired me to draw a piece of my thoughts... not really an advice/ wise words or anything near it, just sharing an experience i had when i was younger and the way it affected how i view the world
Some people are trying to erase my blackness just cuz they don't see certain features on me. Just so you're aware... I'm black, from Puerto Rico. I'm "tri-racial" for technical reasons.
Spanish/Portuguese, West African, and Taino, the Native Americans who were there first. So 🖕🏾
“But in this this state of whiteness one does not live..to make it come alive it must have ‘blood’, ..what the alchemists call the RUBEDO, the ‘redness’ of life. Blood alone can reanimate a glorious state of consciousness in which the last trace of blackness is dissolved”

"There is nothing. Only warm, primordial blackness. Your conscience ferments in it — no larger than a single grain of malt. You don't have to do anything anymore. Ever. Never ever."

Some Scottish Castle locations used in the filming of Netflix's @OutlawKing (watercolour reconstruction suggestions of orginal medieval buildings) Blackness, Linlithgow, Craigmillar and Borthwick. The first three were also used as locations for #Outlander #ScottishCastles
“I do believe that the fiction of ‘blackness’ that is the legacy of colonialism, can be interrupted by the encounter with the stories that we tell about ourselves."— Claudette Johnson (b. 1959, Manchester, UK), a British drawer living in London, UK.

This shadow with no color or light.
Blackness and lips whisper softly.
No, it wasn't a tragedy that shaped me.
This Shadow follows me.
No pain, just a smug sense of glee.
Dark shell with only a small crack of light. #poetry #lyrics #dialogue #freeverse @hitRECordJoe
We are so lucky we are still alive to see this beautiful world. Look at the sky. It's not dark and black and without character. The black is in fact deep blue. And over there, lighter blue. And blowing through the blueness and the blackness, the wind swirling through the air ❤️
The clock suddenly stops ticking. The prince frowns slightly, about to call out for one of his loyal henchmen... But it's already too late. The world around him starts spinning, faster than any carousel on earth, soon enough the ticking starts again, driving Lear crazy
Blackness
Her father “almost whipped art right out of her,” but leap year baby, Augusta Savage (1892-1962) made it as one of Harlem Renaissance’s greatest artist/advocates. She poignantly captured blackness in sculpture and opened up her home to young Black artists.

It may be the last day of February y’all. But every morning when I look in the mirror, I’m reminded that I’m a warrior. Regardless of the world trying to eradicate my blackness. I’ll never be apologetic for being who I am ✌🏽👸🏽✊🏾 fight that good fight loves ❤️ #FursOfColor
🦑Then Nyarlathotep came out of Egypt. Who he was, none knew, but he was of the old native blood & looked like a Pharaoh. The fellahin knelt when they saw him. He had risen up out of the blackness of 27 centuries & heard messages from places not on this planet🎨Victor Leza🦑#HPL
I just finished reading an early copy of @tracydeonn’s #Legendborn and reader, the last time I felt so moved by a story, it was @BrittneyMMorris’ Slay. Fierce female protagonists, masterful world-building, and unapologetic Blackness. THESE are the stories we need!!!!!
