I& #39;ve been taking my space from twitter for my mental health as you see other people doing as well. Here& #39;s a reminder to those who may need to hear it:

IT& #39;S OKAY TO OUT YOUR PHONE DOWN. IT IS OKAY TO STEP AWAY FROM SOCIAL MEDIA FOR A BIT. This shit is triggering. This shit that

is now coming to air is a lot to handle. People are waking up to the bullshit they have been blind to for whatever reason. Yes, we need your allyship, but you can& #39;t burn yourself out instantly & expect to make a difference. You CAN balance being an ally while caring for yourself.

This moment may seem hectic, but this isn& #39;t a sprint, it& #39;s a marathon. You can stay informed & step away, you can talk to close family & friends while caring for yourself. Please take care of yourselves & don& #39;t be afraid to put your mental health first. What& #39;s not acceptable is

trying to perform your allyship by being pissed off one day & then sucking up under your fave the next. We all see you & many of us are taking note of those who decided to be a fake ally or have remained quiet. There are ways to balance your acct w/ what& #39;s going on & happiness.

However, we will pass on the fake allyship. You know who you are and now so do we. History has its eyes on you and where you stand will be known.

Sending light and love to those on the front lines, those behind the scenes, & all those who are with us in this time of need. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✌🏿" title="Victory hand (dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Victory hand (dark skin tone)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙏🏿" title="Folded hands (dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Folded hands (dark skin tone)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💕" title="Two hearts" aria-label="Emoji: Two hearts">
