Hey everybody, I just wanted to talk about some more serious stuff today. As the majority of you probably know a man by the name of George Floyd was treated despicably and died by the hands of a police officer who stood upon Floyds neck until he passed away. His death was MURDER, and this would not have occurred if it weren't for the prejudice that many people still hold against black people and poc in our society today.
Right now protests are going on in countries around the world, people are rioting all over America in an attempt for those voices of the black community to finally be heard and listened to. People are risking life and limb for something that should be a given right to them from birth as the people that they are. As a white person I will never experience the injustice that you go through and I will never know the fear that you must feel knowing that this still happens. But I will fight alongside you and give my utmost to make your voices heard so that change will occur.
I'm going to provide some links to petitions that you should sign if you can here, please take a little time out of your day to sign these and help make change. Please share around any information on your socials, and if you are able then please consider donating to blm charities/crowdfunds that support people who have been arrested in the riots going on right now (but only if you can afford to do this).
It is important that you raise your voice and let it be heard by others no matter where you are in the world, because we need change, and we need it now.

Thank you for reading, I'm sorry this wasn't my usual cheery description but awareness needs to be spread and though I don't have a large platform compared to a lot of people I want to do as much as I can to help at this time.
Stay safe and raise your voices :heart:
