blm protests, canada
kicking myself btw
kept looking for news about a local demonstration happening and then it happened the moment I turned my attention to spreading word online
on the plus side, I didn't hear downtown erupt into chaos so at least the cops didn't instigate anything. apparently some white supremacists tried to sneak in but got outed and routed, good riddance
Laying awake thinking about how Thancred Waters went from being a stereotypical D&D bard to an edgelord to Guybrush Threepwood to Papa Nier #ffxiv
Good morning.
Washington state Black Lives Matter are calling for a statewide general strike and silent March protest in support of black people on this Friday, June 12th.
“We’re calling on everyone in Washington state who is able to be there. If you can’t march in Seattle, organize one in your community,” board member Ebony Miranda said in a video news conference, asking people to participate despite the COVID-19 crisis.
“Anti-blackness is a greater threat to our survival, and racism in itself is its own pandemic. It’s killing us. We’re fighting to survive and thrive.”
Not-so-casual reminder to those who feel like they can't be involved in the BLM protests because of accessibility/mobility/health/immunocompromisation/fear of COVID, that there are more ways to contribute than just getting your feet on the ground out there:

You cannot be anti-racist silently.
support a black “creative” AKA black law student
I saw people talking about supporting black creatives, so I thought I would participate. I’m not a creative by career but I do some creative things on the side.
I’m a gay, black, trans guy who is a 2L in law school. Like many legal interns, I’m working for free this summer at a nonprofit. I work to help the wrongly incarcerated make cases for exoneration. The vast majority of my clients are black and brown men.
My law school is supplying some aid this summer, but it’s nowhere near the amount of what a paralegal makes (and we generally have more schooling!).
My CashApp is $lucifugel.
Anything would be appreciated. I am working hard to become a lawyer that defends the rights of minorities like myself!#transcrowdfund#blm
dreams
I think I was supposed to be a sleeper agent but that got defeated by me getting turned into a cute dhampir girl after I crippled myself helping Dracula overcome the curse of being a very cute penguin
and it stuck despite attempts at surgical intervention after my body was recovered (dhampirs don't give a fuck about space apprently) so I was like "fuck off, cmdr." when I got called at the hospital and the nurses were like "mood" and hit the end call button for me
dreams
last night I dreamt Dracula was trying to turn his castle into a spaceship because he discovered the entire region was an isolated region of a post-apocalyptic earth managed by a spaceborne elite. the belmont of that time (it was like 1910) also discovered it after finding an old radio and became dracula's conspiracy theorist friend.
allthewhile Alucard and I (still a cute dhamphir girl after the dream where I helped dracula free of his penguin curse) were trying to evade some hellsing-esque catholic vampire hunters rolling through in a model-T, they eventually got dracula and belmont before they could finish the space castle, and the two of us jacked the prototype spaceship and flew off to strafe some space bourgies before we got shot down
I'm Elfi! I'm a fair folk, magical moth, greyace girl, greenhorn gamedev, in my thirties and , and ADHD+ASD+EDS. Disclosure: white
