Something I made on my tablet while I was out

if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

If you're having trouble keeping up with what's going on in Palestine because of US news coverage of university protests, here are some articles you can read and a video you can watch:

While CNN & all the other mainstream media try to paint the university protests as "pro terrorism" (which they're not, they're literally anti-war protests.) Palestinians are being slaughtered by the minute.

Please don't stop speaking about Palestine.

"james potter bullied snape!" and i've never been prouder of him. took one for the team, really.

This doesn't apply to necessarily right now, but I am in need of a beta reader to read over and edit my chapters before I publish them.

Specifically for the blue lock kainess royalty au fic I'm writing right now.

It is going to be a longer fic with 13 chapters and roughly 5k~ words per chapter (VERY rough estimate though). I'm trying out new things with the story and writing and trying to make it more polished, so it would be nice to have an editor to look over it and give critique.

Once again, not urgent right now bc I'm very slowly making my way to finishing the first draft of chapter 1 and exams are coming soon, so perhaps in a couple of weeks when classes are over.

If anyone is interested, feel free to shoot me a dm :) the help would very much be appreciated!
