Centuries of racism and oppression have defined the United States. The death of George Floyd is an unwanted reminder that we must all take a stand. We join with the many activists and creatives who are protesting against systemic racism, white supremacy, and policy brutality.

We will use the WNDB platform to promote anti-racism and #BlackLivesMatter resources and literature for children and adults, starting with these, which we will update continuously. If you have a resource to add, please email alainalavoie@diversebooks.org.

[mykrazyuniverse]

Damn it took me 5 minutes to figure out why you wanted people to like a picture of soap. You did such a good job people think you are just posting random pics of soap.

[deathdaydream]

this isn’t the fist time this has happened, I painted lube and everyone was confused that I posted a picture of lube 

[celticpyro]

This is such a Monkey’s Paw kind of talent. Being so talented at hyperrealistic art that people just think they’re photos and don’t care.

[enbylebeau]

white and non-black people, its not enough to spread around these links.  yall need to be having the hard conversations with yourselves and those around you about antiblackness.  talk to your friends & family, educate yourselves!  correct racism, whether its lowkey or blatant immediately!  your ignorance, whether intentional or not, and your willingness to let things slide when your friends and family say some racist shit is exactly what gets us harmed and killed.

I hate to break it to ya, guys, but

You’re all so creative and everything you wrote, drew and created made the world a tad bit more beautiful

Don’t ever stop you, little chunks of mess and fabulousness, because in this world today, we need every single drop of beauty we can get
