What good people we have here! Are you all doing well?

We are. Unfortunately with the increase in business so comes the decrease in my energy. Luckily Futaba, Sujiro, and I rotate certain days so everything has been going smoothly at this rate. - Akira

Did Sojiro ever allow you guys to have a Trampoline outside?

.....We live in Tokyo 

No. - Akira

This year has been rough, so I’m just asking in to check and see if you’re okay. Please take care of yourself, because you’re wonderful!

This is honestly very sweet, thank you for the check up!

Well, I found my Ryuji. This year has been tough but he has been a wonderful boyfriend who has been keeping me afloat.

I just hadn't had a lot of interest digital art recently, adding that with my special interest of Persona 5 going dormant again I just hadn't picked it up again

But yeah, I am fine! And I promise I'm getting better. This blog is still going to be kept around as is and maybe every once in awhile I'll get back to it!

I hope everyone is doing alright and I do hope you all are safe and healthy and taking care of yourselves. All of you matter and you are wonderful people.

Take care!

Keith

So bc tumblr hates links this will be hard to pass around but theres a White House petition to save the USPS

This is significantly more important than a change.org petition bc it HAS to be acknowledged if it gets enough signatures

Please sign it and reblog!

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

turn off your adblocker and put the video on repeat. do not skip ads. let it play on loop whether you’re listening or not. mute the tab if you need to focus elsewhere. but let. it. play.

youtube will donate to blm for you.

please, please reblog. for people who don’t have money to spare, this is incredibly important information to have.

[ask-cafe-leblanc]

just heard the new number is ~9000 arrests of protestors in the US so i think today would be a good day to donate to bail funds if you have not already!!

[ask-cafe-leblanc]

here is a google doc of resources to support george floyd, ahmaud arbery, roy stoddart, and the many, many, many other wrongfully murdered black people in the united states — as well as the black lives matter movement in general

please share this link or post to anyone and everyone

( I just want to make my statement, yes I had been on hiatus for a long time but Black Lives Matter is an important movement and I want to spread as much information as I can.

If you donate and provide a time stamp of that donation I will create an artwork for you. I promise

Also, if you dont support ACAB and dont like what the protesters are doing, please unfollow me now. Not only have you value an unfair justice system over the lives of people, you need to replay the entire plot of Persona 5

Thank you

White People, Protests, and BLM

If you are a white person headed to a protest, make sure that you are there to center black folks. This means joining UNDER the organization of black activists. Listen when they speak, and shut the hell up.

There are too many reports of white people organizing protests, and like… you may mean well but please fuck off. You can’t make this better by placing yourself above black leaders.

DO NOT dump your feelings all over social media, and especially not at your black friends. Don’t make them have to deal with your emotional shit on top of their own.  Your black friend does not want or need to hear about how upset all this is making you. Support them, check in on them, offer to buy a meal/groceries, or donate to bail funds. I’m sure you’re angry, and you’re allowed to be. But this is not the time for white people tears and white people feelings. If you’re feeling angry, lift up the voices of black people expressing their feelings instead of adding your own. 

Take this opportunity to educate yourself on anti-racism. Here’s a post with some resources.

I’ll add more posts to this as I learn myself.

[ask-cafe-leblanc]

black people, please take care of yourselves. please take care of your health. please take care of your mind. please take care of your spirit.

i understand if your soul is not at peace. i understand if you are exhausted. just, please take care of yourselves in these dark, hateful times and surround yourself with people who understand why.

[ask-cafe-leblanc]

white people, read it and understand it!!!

pride month starts tomorrow, but don’t let that distract from continuing to protest and donate in support of black lives matter. here are some black lgbt funds to donate to if you are able:

center for black equity

homeless black trans woman fund

miss major’s monthly fundraising circle

pay black trans women

marsha p johnson institute

google doc full of organizations and funds

also, i know many pride events have been cancelled due to covid-19, but if you are going in public to protest or to another event, please be careful and wear a mask. covid is still going on through all this

[ask-cafe-leblanc]

i just hope all of my black followers, mutuals, etc know that your voice matters and that your voice needs to be heard. you matter and should always matter. im so sorry people are gross. and im so sorry this is still happening in 2020.
