Friday.

“What a fucking week.” - kinda been the motto for 2020.

How are you feeling? Me? I’m tired. Tired of seeing videos of police attacking protestors. Tired of hearing people yell & scream at protestors. Tired of seeing blood. Tired of seeing destruction. Tired of seeing bodies.

It’s been a tough week.

One. Week.

Unfortunately for our black friends & family, they’ve been struggling for a LOT longer than one fucking week. It’s a struggle every single day of their life. Of their parents life. Of their grandparents life. Of their great grandparents life.

Yes it’s been a tough week, but… if you’re fighting on the side of anti-racism, this is just the beginning of a LONG ROAD.

I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to have many many more tough weeks if it means destroying systemic racism. You ready?

Here’s some relevant stuff to watch, listen to, and read this weekend.

See you Monday!
