i want to add that BLM movement is not a “trend” or something that happened once or twice, this systemic oppression has always been there THROUGHOUT our lives. such racism, racial bullying and bigotry have been ubiquitous in our EVERYDAY lives. https://twitter.com/shinmoedake/status/1266285541131075585

stop with that “don’t talk about your faves, you can do it later” bullshit because in reality, there’s no later and there is no an end to this. so long such people exist, we should speak up & bring this issue to light.

we can support the movement while also tweeting about our interests. we can sign petitions, donate, and rt-ing WHILE ALSO tweeting about what we like. if you have ever attacked people who only ONE TIME tweeted about something that is of their interests, then it shows that +

you’re treating this BLM movement as something that only happened once, when in fact it does happen EVERYDAY and it’s become part of our lives. tweeting about our faves ≠ we stopped supporting BLM. listen up, karen, sometimes we are more actively signing petitions +

and donating rather than rt-ing on twitter just to “show off” support. stop with the “you don’t tweet = you don’t care” logic because some of us are more sensible to do it behind the scenes and silently supporting rather than +

“showing off” to twitter just to show “open-mindedness”. also may i remind you that all of this might be mentally and emotionally draining for some of us, the fact that twitter is widely used by people of all age means that +

THERE ARE ALSO UNDERAGE ON THIS PLATFORM. all of this might be a trigger warning, so take a break whenever you need to. take some rest and log off from twitter if you need to.

tweeting about your interests while also supporting the movement will never revoke your rights in supporting the movement.

i’m not making this thread to excuse y’all to stop supporting the movement, BECAUSE THIS IS CLEARLY HAPPENING EVERYDAY IN OUR LIVES. continue to spread awareness and bring this issue to light whenever you can.

also don’t you ever dare to miscontrue my thread and make a vilification out of this, if you object my statements feel free to dm me and we can talk things through there.

while we’re at it, please sign these petitions below and donate if you can. they’re all updated regularly https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/
