AskFaith

How would you respond to the following questions as you reflect on and tackle life's challenges?

- Is God good?

- Do you believe God loves you?

- Do you believe He has a plan and purpose for your life?

- Do you believe anyone, or anything can change God’s plan for you?

- Do you believe God will use everything in your life for His glory and your good at the end?

- Can you acknowledge God in all your ways?

I feel like I don’t get as many asks anymore because y’all are scared of me lol.

I would like you to know that I’m only aggressive because I’m really a soft person.

The first few weeks after George Floyd’s murder I was crying 24/7. Because I’m sensitive to people being hurt. Anyone being hurt. So really when I am aggressive I’m only doing it because I’d rather be agressive to ward off the lil’ wimpy racists than expose my belly to the racists who think that they can break me.

If you have a question, please ask. If it’s very personal or you feel it’s problematic, pm me. I really do appreciate all of you and I’d like to connect with you more. 💗

Deberías enseñarle a andar con tacones antes de hacerle ponerse uno, ¿tú sabes caminar con ellos? ¿tienes algún secreto que contarme? [?]

—La verdad es que nunca he llevado unos, no puedo enseñarle. Pero… no hace falta que se ponga los tacones para andar. Basta que los lleve puestos en la cama. —¿Podría pedir prestados unos a alguna compañera del trabajo? A lo mejor si decía que eran para una amiga no le trataría como un pervertido.

#askfaith what was the last lie you've told?

That I didn’t want to kill myself 

That I was okay.

Liking a FICTIONAL confederate solider does not make someone racist. Are you trying to pick a fight with every one on tumblr, of all places?

The problem is she values a FICTIONAL confederate solder over a human being. As I previously stated. @rosaliehalee matters so much more than fucking ink on a few pages. Give her the respect she deserves. Or stop trying to butt in the fandom. 🖤🖤🖤

I was listening to I can't breath by H.E.R and I think is really good, gives out a lot of power in her words. Hope you like it.

I listened to it and I LOVE it!

I added it to my Protest Bitches playlist on Spotify!

Thank you!

I think what you are going through is totally understandable but Black Lives Matter means your life too. Your health as an activist and leader in the movement matters. I know some Black women find Audre Lorde’s writing on self care useful. I know you will have her work already. As much as possible be surrounded by collective loving comrades because fighting white supremacy is afaik set up to kill you. Every time you do the self care you already listed is an act of resistance.

Hm thank you.

I love Audre Lorde. 

Here’s an extra long response:

The funny thing is, I have surrounded myself with comrades, but that meant ending my friendships with all the non-Black people in my life. 

All. 

That’s how bad the ignorance is. I had an Asian “friend” tell me that she didn’t want to watch The 13th because she “didn’t have enough time” and that instead she “goes on TikTok to educate herself”. 

Before anyone excuses this by saying there are helpful resources on TikTok:

If you can’t sit your ass down and watch a few documentaries that contain 10000000% more VALUABLE information than the 10 seconds you watch occasionally, you. do. not. care.

I had my white “friends” tell me to “calm down” or that “things will be ok” or “don’t worry about it”....when I really just needed them to be there for me, not FIX me. 

I took a break from Tumblr (I hoped it would be forever) but I had constant messages of 

“Is this racist?” 

“What about this:____? Is this racist?” 

“How do I be less racist?”

 People want me to do their own homework, constantly. I had 50 unread messages just full of that shit at one point. 

Leaving was helpful. But I think soon I’ll have to make a pros and cons list of being on here. The nice messages are always overshadowed my the idiots and the attention-seeking, lazy, “do good-ers”. 

Sooo I really don’t know what self-care is. And I just don’t get it. I guess if I had any friends that actually could make an effort to be good people, that’d be nice. But so far, I’m considered:

1. A problem that they feel obligated to fix (fix, meaning, shove away)

2. An annoyance

3. A “downer”

4. Abrasive/rude

-

As I’m writing this essay lol I realize that the best form of self care I can get is only really from others. 

If someone calls me and says, “I’m here for you. I’m going to do everything in my power to become anti-racist and educate myself because you matter and I love you.” 

That would literally let me finally breathe. 

I need that.

I don’t need the “I’m sorry” -s 

I need the “I’m fucking angry this is still happening to people who look like you and I’m going to finally let myself feel uncomfortable and actually learn.”

-

I just don’t think any of you understand. (non-Black I mean)

I’m not just doing all of this just because I’m Black. 

I’m doing this because I feel scared and alone. I’m scared that that cop, 5 feet from me, can decide that I don’t deserve to live anymore. 

I’m scared of being murdered, you’re scared of being called a racist.

Black women are so beautiful I’m just 🥰💫✨⭐️🤩💕💛 wow, we need more black women in the industry, we need to see their beauty much more often and not only the filtered idea of light skinned women. 🌙

Amennnn

I have adhd and it’s sometimes hard for me to focus on the articles and to keep reading them. I don’t want to make excuses for not being a good ally, I know that I haven’t been good enough, but I am wondering if there is a way that I can be a good ally while also taking my disability into account.

I have the same thing. If you looked at my “how to be an ally” post, you’d see that there are multiple forms of educational resources you could use. I provided podcasts/movies/documentaries/tv shows....so I dunno if you weren’t looking or you just want me to draw a map for you.

[emerald-studies]

i’m a slow reader so it’s taking me some time but i’m working my way through both your list + some other lists i’ve found of black literature/film & my current favorite book is between the world and me and the last movie i watched was the 13th

I suggest listening to the podcasts, I’m a slow reader as well with ADD. Listening and watching is easier for me personally. The 13th is great. 

Thank you for not being performative. 

[emerald-studies]

don’t know why people think they can get educated on complex racial issues by going on tik tok & watching a 30 second video made by a skinny white teen bc we all know that tik tok is NOTORIOUS for shadowbanning poc 🙄

What’s even more shocking is that it came from an ex-friend of mine who is a POC (Filipino-American)

She got hella aggressive and said,

“Well, if you were ACTUALLY ON IT you would understand.”

-

WHY DO PEOPLE ACT LIKE ME ASKING: 

“Hey can you watch some documentaries and read some books about the Black struggle please?”

 IS ME ASKING THEM FOR THEIR KIDNEY???

WE SHOULDN’T HAVE TO PLEAD FOR Y’ALL TO EDUCATE YOURSELVES, ESPECIALLY OTHER MINORITIES!!!!

jesus fucking christ

I’m gonna say it, y’all really don’t care until we’re dead, huh?

We have to be dead on the ground, in our own vomit, with a cops knee on our neck.

But EVEN THEN. All we get is a hashtag for a few days.

How many of you (my followers) ACTUALLY have watched/read ANYTHING I recommended. How many of you who have messaged me, to show your support, and have ACTUALLY done something?

I want to know. 

Send me asks on what you’ve watched/read. I DON’T want excuses, I want a list. 

Because honestly, I don’t trust anyone.

Happy Birthday🎂🎂

Thank you darling 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[emerald-studies]

The type of online activism you are doing is incredibly taxing emotion work. I’m writing because I saw someone asking to explain why you posted screen shots. You are being a beyond PhD level educator and also you are taking leadership by showing honesty and vulnerability. I hope you are surrounded by love and people who listen to you and give you appreciation. I wish you some places and times that are soft and full of joy with so much thankfulness for your work that it can fill your tank.

Wow, thank you so much. This is one of the kindest things anyone has ever said to me.
