Black joy isn't just us having fun. It's a literal weapon of survival. Seriously!
It sucks that Black people are so good at surviving fascist Americans that wish us harm. But we are. We're kind of the world's leading experts on this.🤷🏿♂️
I see lots of folks talking about how to prepare for what's coming. I'm not saying those preparations are bad, but a lot of it is US-style rugged individualism.
My advice: Find your community. Strengthen those bonds. And find your sources of joy!
@mekkaokereke This can not be stressed enough. I've been reaching out to old friends and former colleagues over the past few days, and it seriously helped, both me and the people I spoke with.
No mater what happens next, we have to remember we're not alone in this.
@ErickaSimone @mekkaokereke I genuinely wish I could say something useful that's not just a platitude.
And I don't sense that you're asking for advice, so let me just say, and I'm sure you've heard it from others on here, but I'm always here, happy to help in whatever little ways I can. ❤️
