I don't even know, anymore. I swing between furious and numb. All I can do is help amplify the voice of people who need to be heard, and I'm trying to do that over on Twitter.

One thing I have been doing is encouraging people to donate to homeless shelters and food banks in addition to BLM and bail funds for protestors, because those organizations always need help.

I hope all of you are taking care of yourself, are staying safe, and are able to help when/where/how you can.

and a quick mental health reminder - it is okay to take a break from the news if you feel completely overwhelmed by it.

I really just want to round up all the asshats that are using the BLM protests to indulge in their violent and miscreant fantasies and shoot them into space. I recognize that there will always be those who want to see the world burn, I just prefer that they are on a world of their own for that.

I can relate, boy howdy. On the one hand, I should be marching. On the other, I'm supporting two other people, more or less, and I run the risk of being thrown in jail with men.
