FREE WEEK AND HOW YOU CAN HELP #BLACKLIVESMATTERHello Rookies, we’re here this week to announce that no activity check will be taking place. Yes, we will have the post up on rkwednesday as usual but everyone will be ‘free’ from getting cleared. First, it’s come to our attention that something has been said on certain blogs and we want to make it 100% clear that we do not condone anyone antagonizing any of the other roleplays and spreading false information under our name. Do not spread baseless rumors and do not use it as a guise to stoke conflict in the community. There’s already too much happening in the world. This is just a roleplay, calm down. Furthermore, we thought we should share a piece of important information not just because we, as consumers, are part of a community and industry of artists and companies that constantly market off black culture but because it is the right thing to do to help. With everything going on this week, we thought it important that we put our best efforts into these issues than something like roleplaying. We can always go back to roleplaying, but something like anti-blackness and racism that have been prevalent for too long should not be ignored. Yes, this may be overwhelming for a lot of you and yes, it is okay to take a moment to ‘process’ things but remember that this is something that has been happening for years and is nothing new. Please use your voice, email your state officials, sign petitions, share and educate! Don’t be complacent with silence and remember that all lives don’t matter until black lives matter. Under the cut are resources about the current movements occurring now and more resources to stay educated and help.TRIGGER WARNING: MENTAL HEALTHBLACK LIVES MATTERhttps://blacklivesmatter.com/about/text “JUSTICE” to 668366. text “FLOYD” to 55156. https://www.reclaimtheblock.org/homehttps://lettersforblacklives.com/https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-0KC83vYfVQ-2freQveH43PWxuab2uWDEGolzrNoIks/mobilebasichttps://minnesotafreedomfund.org/donatehttps://www.change.org/p/change-org-the-minneapolis-police-officers-to-be-charged-for-murder-after-killing-innocent-black-man?utm_content=cl_sharecopy_22409600_en-US%3Av4&recruiter=1034515671&recruited_by_id=2d936bd0-381b-11ea-93cb-09c0356ebcf0&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=psf_combo_share_abi&utm_term=psf_combo_share_initialMore petitions and places to donate: https://linktr.ee/blacklivesmatterList of bonds to donate to: https://t.co/aW6VYc2Z3S?amp=1JUNKTERRORBILLhttps://www.cnnphilippines.com/news/2020/5/30/House-panels-approve-new-anti-terrorism-bill-alarms-netizens.htmlhttps://www.philstar.com/headlines/2020/05/30/2017586/anti-terror-bill-defines-terrorism-vaguely-has-clear-and-specific-dangershttps://www.change.org/p/junk-the-anti-terrorism-bill-and-uphold-human-rightshttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1cCNY4gKW3LNdb8oQ3hRCYkgOdNoiZK6KScjl9srM8W4/edithttps://twitter.com/docosakusanoic/status/1266335955616534528?s=20STAND WITH HONGKONGhttps://standwithhk.org/https://twitter.com/txteethan/status/1266258882709450752?s=20PALESTINE CONFLICT WITH ISRAELhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wo2TLlMhiw&feature=youtu.behttps://www.change.org/p/beto-o-rourke-beto-support-peace-justice-in-palestine-israel?utm_content=cl_sharecopy_13597912_en-US%3Av2&recruiter=918962071&recruited_by_id=924af880-f655-11e8-8c0d-53d2b4b93bc4&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=psf_combo_share_abiThere’s more information in this thread: https://twitter.com/rexhasbelieve/status/1267321509435097088MENTAL HEALTHPlease be mindful of your health as well during this time.
