Read on Twitter
after this I& #39;ll be sticking to RTing and sharing info but right now I wanna write a bit of what I& #39;ve seen happen on this site this past week that bothers me a lot.
I said this earlier but some repetition won& #39;t hurt: now& #39;s a good time to check where you stand with everything. ↓

I want people to be very aware of their attitudes and WHY they& #39;re staying silent and passive regarding these events.
I& #39;m going to fully talk about the people and my followers in Europe here because I& #39;ve seen a lot of people ignore things because it& #39;s "not their problem". ↓

I& #39;ve been wondering if a number of people here use fandoms as a shield to cover their ignorance. the protests are EVERYWHERE AROUND THE GLOBE. they stopped being a "US thing" a long time ago. racism, fascism and police brutality don& #39;t exist in a vacuum only in the US. ↓
fandoms and hobbies in/outside the internet are crucial to keeping yourself occupied with other thoughts than just this, yes, but you need to see if that& #39;s all you& #39;re willing to do - specifically if everyone else around you is doing Something. which brings me to a question. ↓
if the current situation in the world makes you uncomfortable, you need to question yourself why that is. is it uncomfortable to see bad things happen or do you feel guilty because you have to face how comfortable your position in all of this is? ↓
however, I emphasise: if you& #39;re mentally ill and cannot be active or follow these topics, look after yourself. make sure you get better, log out, practice self-care and do what you need to, to survive through your life. This Is Not About You. be kind to yourself. ↓
additionally, if you don& #39;t use Twitter to raise awareness and are active elsewhere, you talk about things, you donate, you talk to your family, friends, strangers and challenge them, this is not about you. ↓
