If you look at social media (i.e. Twitter, Instagram, etc.) It is filled with BLM (Black Lives Matter) content from current news, behind the scenes that the media won't show, new deaths/pain, children getting maced, and a lot of art including donation sites. Yes it is pride month, but never forget the Stonewall riot that helped birth pride. I am a proud genderfluid, I am a proud person who can say I have rights all because of that riot we have a voice in the LGBTQ+ community. It is unfortunate that the death of a black man, George Floyd, died by a cop because that cop killed him & has been charged. Now, riots have spread slowly through 1 state at a time. A lot of which started as peaceful protests, but either an outside force instigated them into riots,or the police themselves instigated them themselves. Tear gas, rubber bullets... these physical fights are so painful & heartbreaking to see. More people are starting to die in them too. It is incredibly shocking to me that these things have been happening (this is said in disgust, not actually surprising). All lives won't matter until correct changes have been made, but it is so hard for most people to change based on views & beliefs, even on possibly how they were raised.

For me, I have to step off of Twitter as that is the most loaded with everything BLM since it is risking my anxiety & depression. I amy not be black, I may not understand what blacks go through, but I stand with you. I hear you, I see you, I love you for how beautiful & talented you are. I ended up sharing some donation sites on twitter & possible helpful tidbits that if you are gonna go to these riots, please be absolutely careful, it has some advice on what to bring with you & I think on how to help treat a wound or if you are maced. All this is taking a toll. I need to rest for awhile & sadly focus on work before I continue supporting so I can get a recharge. It makes me so sad, so angry, so ludicrously emotional beyond belief that I couldn't help but cry. I have been stressed that I can't keep up with my simple queue, my job giving me less than $200 USD each week & now these unnecessary deaths from these riots... the turmoil in me is churning so badly that I feel so destructive. No one of any race, gender, age, or ethnicity should be discriminated, harmed,or even KILLED for that matter!! I vented for 2 days straight to the point of nearly self destructing. I need to breathe, I need to rest, I need to spread positivity... I need to help spread word about different donation/charity sites so something good can be seen out of this more. Powerful photos & drawings/paintings will be shared around as well.

Everyone, please also remember that the virus is also still spreading. If you attend these peaceful protests or they get turned into riots, please be safe. Please do your best to be careful. You are powerful. You are human. I will keep you in heart & mind during this dark time. We all need to try our best to care for one another. At the end of the day, something has been accomplished no matter where you go or what you do. Just try your best at what you are doing each day. Each person is talented & valuable. Sending lots of love to you all
