Please reblog, this is so important.
You know what I don't know what is was........but this post meant alot to me
You can be anything. Representation Matters
PLEASE READ. WILL NOT HURT TO AND FORWARD. Kids are putting Drano, tin foil, and a little water in plastic drink bottles and capping it up - leaving it on lawns, in mail boxes, in gardens, on driveways etc. just waiting for you to pick it up intending to put it in the rubbish, but you’ll never make it!!!
If the bottle is picked up, and the bottle is shaken even just a little - in about 30 seconds or less it builds up enough gas which then explodes with enough force to remove some your extremities. The liquid that comes out is boiling hot as well. Don’t pick up any plastic bottles that may be lying in your yards or in the gutter, etc. Pay attention to this. A plastic bottle with a cap. A little Drano. A little water. A small piece of foil. Disturb it by moving it; and BOOM!! No fingers left and other serious effects to your face, eyes, etc. Please ensure that everyone that may not have email access are also informed of this.Â
Snopes confirms.
The system needs to change
hi i don’t usually do this but i’d like to use the platform i have. if you haven’t heard, brandon bernard is dead— not from an accident, age, disease, but he was executed. it’s hard to believe, especially thinking about how so many people (including big name celebrities) spoke against his execution. his delay request was rejected and he was pronounced dead at 9:27 PM from lethal injection. can you think about this? he’s gone, no longer here for a crime he didn’t commit about a decade ago. he was extremely apologetic and calm during his final moments: “I’m sorry, that’s the only words that I can say that completely capture how I feel now and how I felt that day.” he was sentenced based on “the belief he would commit crimes in the future.” his case is very racially charged and he’s spent 20 years demonstrating change. we couldn’t save him. however, during our condolences, please take the time to help other people on the death row.
no one deserves death and even if in some impossible case that they did, the death penalty in the US is extremely flawed. thank you for your time

the black cartoon community on youtube deserves so much more.

you’re on a ship that’s sinking
you fall into ice
you’re stuck in an elevator
you hit a deer with your car

For the first tutorial on how I draw skin, see the post here.
But seriously, I’ve seen too many drawings of Native characters with literal red/pink skin to count so just in case some of you are having troubles with drawing Native people, I’ve provided a guide for you. Please take my swatches if it helps!! and no more red skinned people, please <0<
Disclaimer: this tutorial is mainly about the artistic depictions of Indigenous Peoples in North America, where the slur and redskin caricature originated, but it would still be racist to draw other non-North/Central/South American Indigenous groups like this so…..don’t.
