So I was actually really excited, ‘cause the titles of two chapters in day 2 are ABBA songs (and I love ABBA), but I looked at the other days and jskdns :(

I’m enjoying the season, tho!

I swear, I hate this fucking fandom. I read with my own fucking eyes "pEoPlE dOn'T aPpReCiAtE tHe StOrYlInE, tHeY jUsT wAnT tHeIr Li." Fuck you, yes we do want our LIs. But we also want PB to stop treating their POC characters like shit, like they're second tier to the main white LI. The way they write their POC characters and treat their fans who say anything about it in a critical manner is very telling on their beliefs and values, and it says a lot about yours as well when you open your mouth and say something so damn ignorant.

If you feel like your upcoming storyline won’t be appropriate in today’s climate, maybe scrap it all together? This is what I meant when I said keep the same energy. Don’t do this because all eyes are on the systemic racism pumping through America’s veins, only to bring it back at a later date.

And maybe address race relations in a real way if that’s what you want to do (not like the MOTY MC calling Vanessa’s behavior “kinda racist” or Dallas running from his home town because of a false police report made by a white guy)

[ramseyandrys]

The worst thing about what PB is doing is they’re not taking responsibility for their mistakes. They’re explaining everything away in order to keep up a certain image. I would encourage @playchoices to hold themselves accountable. I would also encourage them to focus less about what the “perfect” thing to say is and more on what the human thing to say is. Right now, all of their statements feel like a carefully crafted press release. It doesn’t seem like they care at all. Reverend Al Sharpton said something quite potent at George Floyd’s memorial: “Some of y'all don't want peace; you just want quiet.” PB doesn’t want to talk to us. They just want us to shut up.

[heauxplesslydevoted]

Please do not be in my mentions showing your ass over this OH hiatus. My tolerance is at an all time low.

• I don’t care that you’re upset over the hiatus

• I don’t care that you’re mad at PB attempting to take a stand and right a wrong

• I don’t care that you want to bury your head in the sand and use Choices as an escape, while simultaneously trying to ignore the problematic shit they’re writing

29 black and non-black POC have died at the hands of cops (one in my very own hometown) within the past 10 FUCKING. DAYS. So if PB thinks they should scrap a racist and triggering storyline, shut the fuck up and let them.

[trespia]

saying “i hope you’re happy now” because pb put oph on another hiatus is so fucking dismissive. 

people are rightfully complaining about pb’s treatment of poc in this crappy book and are allowed to do so and if that means oph continues to go on hiatus then so be it. maybe if @playchoices learned to stop sidelining poc, or killing them off apparently, oph wouldn’t be in this situation

WAYS TO SUPPORT/BE AN ALLY

Here is a compilation of places to donate (IF you can, simply reblogging and sharing this can help) and petition to sign. I found these websites and organizations on twitter.

DONATIONS

THE MINNESOTA  FREEDOM FUND: Donate to this to collect funds to pay jail bonds for the protesters who get arrested.

BLACK LIVES MATTER: An organization fighting for the BLM movement. Donate if you can. 

BLACK VISIONS MN: an organization that is led by Black, Queer and Trans people. Donate if you can.

NAACP Legal Defense Fund: Fights for the overall equality fight. Donate if you can.

PETITIONS

Willie Simmons has spent 38 years in prison for a $9 robbery. He had two prior convictions similar to robbery that he served time for. He was prosecuted under the Alabama Habitual Offender law and was given a life sentence for his third strike - stealing 9 (NINE) dollars. Sign his petition. 

Breonna Taylor was killed by police who were conducting an UNANNOUNCED drug raid, where they gave no request to enter. They bashed her door and entered, shooting her EIGHT times. They were in the WRONG HOUSE. 

George Floyd was killed by a police officer who knelt on his neck and suffocated him to death, after George pleaded with the officer and told him he couldn’t breathe. The officer had pulled him from where he sat in his car on an alleged FORGERY. You can also text “FLOYD” to 55156

ARREST THE OFFICERS WHO KILLED GEORGE FLOYD: The main police officer who murdered George is being kept in PROTECTIVE CUSTODY. You probably have heard he was arrested, but this is NOT TRUE. He was placed under PROTECTIVE custody because of the riots and “threats” on his life. 

If you know of ANY other organizations or petitions, PLEASE ADD TO THIS LIST. The fight for justice doesn’t end here, it will never end. Especially when the president of the United States calls white supremacists good people and protesters of a mans death THUGS. USE YOUR VOICE. NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE. FUCK COPS. FUCK “BLUE LIVES”. ALL BLACK LIVES MATTER!

the minnesota freedom fund is asking folks to donate to other organizations instead. the specific ones they listed are black visions, linked above, and these two:

northstar health collective, organized healthcare professionals working with anti-authoritarian groups

reclaim the block, a collective that aims to redistribute funding away from police and towards more community-oriented projects in minneapolis

these are the links i send to my facebook friends who keep running their mouths about “the protests hurting the community”

minnehaha food shelf & calvary church food shelf are both centered in the south minneapolis area where the riots started. the grocery stores in the area have been decimated, so food shelves and food insecurity charities need a lot of love right now.

northside funders group is a philanthropic group in the twin cities that’s using all its funds right now for helping local businesses

migizi is a native american media/history nonprofit whose office was destroyed in the riots

we love lake street is devoting funds specifically towards rebuilding the lake street area in south minneapolis

some more groups that could use your help

the healing justice foundation is a national nonprofit that’s specifically focusing on mental health resources for bipoc right now

ctul is a nonprofit focused on low-wage workers and workers rights in minnesota

mpd 150 is focused on policing and specifically trying to reroute the conversation from “we need to change police procedures” to “the police need structural reform”

the spiral collective is providing funds for supplies, medic kits, and other things that protesters will need on the ground

unicorn riot is a media collective that has had people on the ground filming every night in minneapolis

last but not least some more bail funds
