Transparency and solidarity time!
Here at the microfarm we have given to @MNFreedomFund and to @TCDSAEcosoc. We remain monthly contributors to @harrisonjaime, the exciting Dem candidate to replace Lindsey Graham as our state's senator.

I am not physically able to protest in person, and we're far enough from any large community that it would be protest tourism anyway. Here's what we can do: Call out uninformed white people online. Share info. And work on supplying our own community as best we can.
Today, we catch up on sleep.
Tomorrow, hopefully the weather lets us work on #LochNestLittleFree to help feed our neighbors and take a tiny bit of pressure off the food supply. If not, we'll be trying to devise reusable produce baskets indoors.

For those of us not on the front lines, staying home and tweeting, working from home overtime to earn money for bail funds, and sewing PPE are still useful actions. Do them in conscious solidarity with our Black comrades fighting for a better world.
Here's another way we hope to help.
As you work through your fabric stash, you can order more fabric from our #Spoonflower shop, and
100% of all Loch Nest Farm's proceedsthis week will go to supplying protesters and topping up bail funds. https://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/lochnestfarm

We're luckily in a position to trade our design for your money and then pass your
on, so theyou've budgeted for goods can still go at least partly to solidarity. We also encourage you to seek black-owned businesses whenever you can.

(This collection, which we've already promised to give proceeds to open-source and handmade PPE, we'll earmark for orgs distributing PPE to protesters.) https://www.spoonflower.com/collections/381896-covid-19-mutual-aid-by-lochnestfarm
Otherwise we'll be giving all funds to the closest major #BLM-associated protests to our farm -- currently, it looks like we'll do the bail fund for Atlanta, but we're doing this through Friday June 5, so we'll see if things have changed by then!
Masks and more are on our #redbubble. 
of our profits from http://redbubble.com/people/LochNestFarm/shop?asc=u&ref=bb-rwr79j go straight to #BlackLivesMatter 
protesters in Georgia and the Carolinas until June 5.

I don't have a neat ending to this thread.
We draw. We build. We grow things. We gather eggs. We remember that people mean more than buildings. We yell at pearl-clutching relatives on Facebook. We hurt for #GeorgeFloyd #BreonnaTaylor #TonyMcDade #AhmaudArbery and too many more.

Something specific that a pair of white queer ladies can do for you? Just say. We'll try.
