friends and followers,
i am back here today because i distinctly remember a message i received from a number of you during the time i spent active in this community: “do you have an amazon wishlist?” here is your long awaited answer. this link will take you to a massive google doc that lists petitions, bail funds, and educational resources related to the black lives matter movement. if you were going to buy me something from amazon, please consider donating to one of the listed programs or organizations instead :) if a direct donation is not currently an option for you, watch this youtube video with your adblocker disabled; 100% of money raised from the ads goes to protestor bail funds and other black lives matter related programs. now is the time to take all of the passion, engagement, and energy that i’ve observed in this community in the past and redirect it to the fight for justice. spread information, donation links, petitions. protest if you can. check on your friends and family who are protesting, make sure they know how to best keep themselves safe and how to treat common injuries. black lives matter, now and always.
and to my white mutuals who are opting to avoid talking about this in order to “keep politics off their nsfw”, i urge you to evaluate your silence and the place that it’s coming from. being able to choose if your existence will be actively political or not is privilege. i have learned this well in this community as a trans man. every post i made on this blog was political, whether i wanted it to be or not. take one look into the comments on my more popular posts and you will see that. if you have privilege in this situation, if you have the choice to speak up or stay quiet, make the right fucking choice. or your silence will speak for you.
if any of you have any resources that you don’t see referenced in the google doc above, feel free to drop them in my inbox or dms and i will find a way to promote them on this blog.
