i hope that everyone is doing as okay as they can, staying as safe as you can.
i'm going to leave this journal up on my front page for a while.
feel free to comment with more resources if you have them, and/or links to POC artists in need, their patreons, etc.

this is not a journal for any sort of political debate -- there isn't a "debate" to be had.
either you believe in human rights and saving black lives or you don't; you will not be engaged and those comments will be deleted.

Not everyone is made for the frontline, so don’t guilt trip yourself because you think you MUST be on the frontlines to support. This goes out especially to the disabled, chronically ill, their caretakers, nurses/doctors, grocery store workers, farmers, and all other essential persons. Even if you cannot monetarily donate, as Emmanuel Acho says in that first link below: Education, Compassion, Empathy, are essential parts of the work. Privilege can be weaponized.
