Friday 3rd July 10:30 pm

As they say, FRIYAY

So here is the day everyone waits for, Fridays..❤️❤️

And when we say FRIYAY, it’s a combination of Friday and yay.. YAY which means fun, frolic, party✌️

Weekends.. it seems we are having a loooonnngg weenend, which started on 21st March.. long weekend since the whole world stopped functioning.. the whole world came to a hault.. but is it actually a weekend..?? Are we enjoying this.. we r stuck.. but have a lot of time to reinvent ourself.. to reguvanate, to reawaken..

In pre Covid time, Weenend was when, we used to go out, meet friends and family, this word tingled us.. it felt good, very good.. 🌟🌟

But for the last of few months all days are same, sometimes it feels all days are Sunday’s.. when you can sit and enjoy with your family, relax and do nothing, but sometimes it feels that all days are Monday’s when you have too much of the work, or you are over occupied at work front.. you are occupied with so much that you’re not able to cope up..

The time that we are going through is the time that everyone should take positively.. we should be thankful that we are blessed to sit at home and do nothing for some time.. or may be too much at one time..😍😍

leisure has no limit.. and you have a lifetime to do it.. we have to wait for the right time to come.. does it really matter, does it really matter if we can’t make our Fridays Friyays..?? No it doesn’t.. it really doesn’t.. what matters is that we are lucky to be safe in this of pandemic..

So peeps, think positive and stay positive.. lots and lots of Fridays will come.. lots and lots of Saturday’s will come. 🙏🙏 need of the hour is to be safe.. and be Positive.. ❤️❤️

In the end just saying 🤨

FRIYAY FRIYAY

Where did you go?

Every weekend we start to feel low..

We all miss you much

With our family and friends we r loosing touch

Pls come back soon

It’s already June

Miss the Kebabs and mocktails

Fed up checking and reverting to mails

We all Wanna go out soon

Coz we r sick of moving between the rooms

Wanna meet and greet the buddy’s and kinfolks

Black Lives Matter

Last week we reacted with feeling. This week we’re channeling that feeling into fuel for action. 

The ongoing protests against police brutality are not just a response to the unnecessary deaths of a few. They are a response to 401 years of racism. The unequal treatment of BIPOC was built into the blueprint of the United States, and we still see the indirect and direct consequences of that fact. 

Tumblr has a moral obligation to our community to use this platform in a socially responsible manner. Staying silent about our solidarity with the police brutality protests last week was not an option. Simply spreading our message of solidarity without actionable follow-up this week was not an option, either. 

What Tumblr is doing

Diversity and inclusion will remain an ongoing open and honest conversation within our company. This week we have come together as an organization to make sure the necessary conversations are being held. Dialogue is great, but action is needed. 

Hate speech is not allowed on Tumblr. That sort of hateful rhetoric leads to violence. White supremacists, Nazis, and other purveyors of hate can fully fuck off. They are not welcome here. As we promised last month, hate speech will not go unchecked. If you see hate speech, report it to our Trust & Safety team. They will remove all content against our Community Guidelines.  

Tumblr is a platform. The small team of <200 employees behind Tumblr are people. People who are scared, hopeful, angry, sad, and impassioned. People who care. As individuals, many of us are marching, protesting, and donating. We wanted to share some of the places we’ve donated to over the last two weeks in the hopes that you’ll check them out yourselves:

Color of Change demands justice and equality for Black people in the United States.

Black Girls Smile is dedicated to providing young Black women with mental health resources.

Equal Justice Initiative works to end mass incarceration, excessive punishment, and racial inequality. 

Homeless Black Trans Woman Fund provides Black trans women in Atlanta with housing, food, and necessities.  

Our social advocacy team is seeking more activists to do Issue Times on issues that affect the Black community. So often, the best suggestions come from all of you. Let us know who you want to hear from. As always, we will read the reblogs from this post.

Our official Tumblr for all things social advocacy, @action​, will continue to reblog posts from the community on more ways to help support the protests. 

Ways we can all help

Over the years, the Tumblr community has solidified itself as being passionate advocates for social justice. Through your posts, group chats, and messages, you educate yourself and others. If you’re not Black, commit to being a better ally. Listen to the Black community. 

Last week @theblackoutofficial​ collected a nice list of resources here on Tumblr. You can stay further informed by following the Black Lives Matter, BLM, and protests tag.

There is a place for everyone in the Black Lives Matter movement. You may be unable to march or attend rallies, but that doesn’t mean you have to sit on the sidelines. You can pass out water, masks, and hand sanitizer if you can’t march. You can donate to a charity you believe in or give money to your local mutual aid organization. 

Contact your officials to encourage our communities to invest in areas we know can prevent crime before it even happens: youth services, education, adequate housing, trauma services, counseling, and restorative justice programs. You can use these easy pre-filled form emails for a number of cities.

Just yesterday, U.S. House and Senate leaders introduced the Justice in Policing Act of 2020. This legislation may work to hold police accountable for their actions. We’re watching the developments of this closely, and suggest you do, too. Call your senators and call your representatives to support this legislation. 

Are you an artist of any kind? Or do you just like art? There are tons of artists on Tumblr who are doing commission fundraisers for charities that have an impact on Black communities. Considering buying something or starting one yourself. 

Lastly: Vote!  

Vote! Vote! Register to vote! Even if you missed the deadline for upcoming elections, register to vote now so you can participate in the next one. You deserve to have a say in what happens within your community.

Watch the clouds, big and Small, scattered wide, clumped together.. changing shapes.. changing weather.. #beautifulday #blessed #instaphotography

So it was Sunday a beautiful day.. can just sit back and enjoy this view from balcony.. still locked down.. not free to move around and fly with open wings.. COVID sitting at the doorstep, ready to move in anytime.. haha..

We are helpless..

But have to become strong, and positive

In the blue sky just a few specks of grey

In the evening of a beautiful day

Here I sit at home, This time of the year

I could have been in Rome, Just wanna disappear

Holiday holiday is all we need

When will we all be freed

So.. here I’m back again..

And since the day I started this.. m not getting enough time to write..

It’s not that I’m loaded with work.. but the days are full of lethargy.. the reason is rising mercury.

Summers are here and we r all in lockdown..

Days are passing.. months have passed, and still no clarity of the coming days.. this year is unforgettable.. this year will be remembered by all always.. be it children, young or old..

We are all quarantined, hoping all my family and friends are in the pink of health.. even with RED mood 😡 by red I mean exactly what the smiley wants to decipher..

All few lines.. on my mood now.. 🤩🤩

The sun is shining yellow..🌟🌟

Summer is here fellow..🌝

We r all trying to beat the heat🔥

All the time we r on Twitter to tweet.. 🥏

Dealing with summer COVID.

We all dream of our lifes getting vivid

Really wishing all gets back to normal soon..

The whole day I’d been thinking about what to write today.. but then when I started now, only lockdown on my mind.. what can anyone expect from people who’re home bound for 2 months..? India is under lock down for the past of 2 months, which means, people are stuck at home, with their families.. following social distancing.. haha, the new norm.. which échos in ears and mind coz it’s the media jargon.. not only social distancing, sanitisation, stay home, stay safe and off course quarantine.. the whole world is exploiting these words..🙈

Not met family and friends for a long time.. but I won’t say not socialised.. socialised enough using technology.. video calls/ Skype calls/ zoom meetings/zoom webinars/Facebook/Twitter/instagram/tiktok and such.. online schooling for kids across the world, online parties.. online birthday celebrations.. C Time.. CRAZY Time, COVID time

Entertained by the above view

for the last 2 months.. 👆

Hoping this lockdown ends soon, Most importantly hoping the life becomes normal soon.. 🤞🤞
