i respect the intention of this post and appreciate ur support but pls dont do this.

just be balanced.

spread awareness + links to petitions, yes. but as a black person who uses anitwt as a mental escape, seeing my tl flooded w reminders that my ppl are being slaughtered(1/2) https://twitter.com/tsuchigowife/status/1337299704996982784
just makes me feel trapped. idk.. maybe it’s just me. and i realize there are other things going on in the world besides blm here in the us. maybe others would feel differently. if so feel free to explain ur perspective. but for me, seeing this every time i log on is a nightmare.
plus even if *your* intentions are good in posting exclusively resources rn, others are just doing it for “woke points”, and seeing performative activism when i just want to mentally decompress is infuriating.

anyways, my point is to post *both*.
p.s. if you are in the same boat as me here’s a good thread that may help https://twitter.com/girlsfor2seok/status/1337212326211153920
