White people promoting your shops/art/books/work in the context of what's happening in the US right now: What the actual fuck are you doing?
I saw one person do this yesterday and then immediately delete their posts and apologize when they realized what they did, that's respectable imo. All the rest of you: wtf is your excuse for this shameless and relentless self-promotion???
To clarify, if you're promoting your work without attaching it to the events taking place rn, fine, whatever. It's the people who are like "hey what's happening in the US is bunk so read my book/listen to my song/buy my art and I'll donate proceeds." Just donate your earnings fk
This thread is not meant to be a subtweet, btw. There are literally just SO MANY of you that I don't have the capacity to contact you all individually and have private conversations.
I totally understand feeling helpless when you're poor, immobile, isolating, etc. but there are better ways to lend a hand. Start a thread of Black creators who people can support, RT crowdfunds, follow Black activists and RT aid calls, etc.
