this is not a fun little game for you to trot around flipping off cops and making light of a situation you were never effected by. it is not your chance to have a little bit of adventure in the middle of a quarantine. i am speaking as an authorĀ and i am telling you to stop fucking making this about katniss or harry potter or whatever - you can be shaped by media, sure, but this is not and has never beenĀ about you roleplaying your favorite action heroes. this is not anotherĀ ādisaster of 2020ā³. this is not a quirky instagram post, itās not a chance for you to meet up with your friends, itās not a tactic to get your tiktok trending.
this is about racial injustice. this is about the entire system that is built on that injustice and grows fat on that injustice. donāt get distracted. the police force is notĀ the only systemically racist organization.
black lives matter. and we do not stop until everyĀ organization recognizes that and actually acts on it.

Despite this, the officers yanked Ms. Black, still in her hospital clothes, and threw her to the ground. They taunted her, piled on top of her, and stomped on her stomach causing her to miscarry. The stomp had Ā also left a shoe mark.

i see a lot of my black mutuals in pain and struggling mentally lately so if any of you need it here's a post of mental health resources made by a black woman specifically for black people struggling right now... i love you all so much please take care of yourselves
here's a link to a carrd compiling ways you can support the black lives matter movement (made by twt user @dehyedration)

Reminder that Stonewall wasnāt about marriage equality. Stonewall was about police brutality. It was about systemic abuse and subordination. Stonewall was spearheaded by black trans women. As we celebrate Pride 2020, within the context of the Black Lives Matter riots, itās imperative that we remember that.
Riots in protest of police brutality are the reason that we have more rights today. Do not forget your roots.
You canāt celebrate Pride while simultaneously condemning the Black Lives Matter riots and protests that are happening right now. Know your history.
pride month starts tomorrow, but donāt let that distract from continuing to protest and donate in support of black lives matter. here are some black lgbt funds to donate to if you are able:
center for black equity
homeless black trans woman fund
miss majorās monthly fundraising circle
pay black trans women
marsha p johnson institute
google doc full of organizations and funds
also, i know many pride events have been cancelled due to covid-19, but if you are going in public to protest or to another event, please be careful and wear a mask. covid is still going on through all this
