    I don't think people understand. I feel like when one of us bleeds, we all bleed. The connection through our blackness is real.

    Seeing black bodies treated like animals does something to me. Something I cannot quite explain.

    Your grief is valid. Your anger is valid. Your numbness is valid. Your wish to hide under a rock is valid. Your desire to destroy is valid.

    be mindful of those who don't wish to engage, too. i'll have my headphones on & will be hiding all day for a reason.

    Also if you're at a tech company give your black co workers a hug or some positive vibes because frankly this stuff is DRAINING.

    However folks wanna do it is the correct way.

    Y'all are going the wrong way about protesting for "peace". Blasting little boosie FUCK THE POLICE isn't the correct way to do this.
