White dudes: Whatcha doing rn?

*whispers*

If you& #39;re looking for things to do besides donate (which if you can, I hope you have and *puts on reading glasses* I see some of your receipts, thank you)... Here are some suggestions from a little brown person that you probably won& #39;t listen to, but hey, I got time.

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="1️⃣" title="Keycap digit one" aria-label="Emoji: Keycap digit one"> Buy and read some anti-racist texts. And sit with the discomfort. Maybe invite a few other dudes to be in a book club with you.

I curated this collection just for you. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😘" title="Face throwing a kiss" aria-label="Emoji: Face throwing a kiss"> https://twitter.com/TatianaTMac/status/1266231969462935552?s=20">https://twitter.com/TatianaTM...

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="2️⃣" title="Keycap digit two" aria-label="Emoji: Keycap digit two"> Unfollow everyone on social media and start over. Try to follow NO people who look like you*.

Follow a spread of race, gender (expression, identity), orientation, physical ability, neurodiversity, nationality, socioeconomic status.

*I know you still will. I said try.

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="3️⃣" title="Keycap digit three" aria-label="Emoji: Keycap digit three"> Spend a year only recommending people who don& #39;t look like you. (And if you just recommend abled white women, I will not give you pistachio thin Oreo cookies). In every avenue! On Twitter, for jobs, for reading.

Sound hard? Well, 1 and 2 outta help you. But yeah, it& #39;s hard. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😉" title="Winking face" aria-label="Emoji: Winking face">

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="4️⃣" title="Keycap digit four" aria-label="Emoji: Keycap digit four"> For every time you get the impulse to talk (live or asynchronously), try to only do it every third time.

For the times you do talk, ask yourself:
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔹" title="Small blue diamond" aria-label="Emoji: Small blue diamond"> Did I listen to understand?
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔹" title="Small blue diamond" aria-label="Emoji: Small blue diamond"> Did someone already say this?
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔹" title="Small blue diamond" aria-label="Emoji: Small blue diamond"> Am I adding something of value?
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔹" title="Small blue diamond" aria-label="Emoji: Small blue diamond"> Are these my words to say?

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="5️⃣" title="Keycap digit five" aria-label="Emoji: Keycap digit five"> Spend time connecting with your thoughts, then emotions.

Write down your observations in this new version of you. What do you notice?

Seek therapy/counseling if you have the means. If you don& #39;t think you need therapy, it likely means you& #39;re seeking it from people for free.

Also before someone subjects me to that horrendous unrolling app, I converted this thread into a blog post with a few extra Easter eggs. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😘" title="Face throwing a kiss" aria-label="Emoji: Face throwing a kiss"> https://twitter.com/TatianaTMac/status/1266258250489454599?s=20">https://twitter.com/TatianaTM...
