Hello readers of this blog,

For the past month or so, I have started working two jobs, taken on an internship, and started two courses at community college for accounting. My days are looking more and more chaotic, but I thrive in it. Also in the past month, the pandemic has raged onward and on top of it all, fires have been blazing across my hometown, destroying homes and lives that none of us could have predicted. Additionally, a police officer, Rusten Sheskey, in Kenosha SHOT Jacob Blake in the back 7 TIMES, which led to Kyle Rittenhouse, a white supremacist, 17 year old bringing an AR-15 to a protest and MURDERING 2 protestors and injuring one. He was white which is why police did not shoot him or even try to apprehend him… Fuck Kenosha. Fuck this 17 year old. Fuck the police.

All of this has brought on new angers and new feelings of helplessness; what can I do while I am working my ass off trying to get ahead? I am so privileged: my home is safe and fine, I am young and healthy and take every precaution available, and I am white. I am rarely with my phone for long enough to read through all of the discourse, and I am usually crying at night when I do get a chance to read the feelings and opinions of members of the black community. I retweet most, I post screenshots with credit onto my instagram, but I am broke as shit and trying to figure out what else I can do…

Rusten Sheskey and Kyle Rittenhouse deserve hell. They need to have their entire lives uprooted and destroyed at whatever cost. I need women who knew/know them to step up and bring out the skeletons in their closets, I need former cases brought to light, I need every person in Kenosha to continue being bad asses and protest until they both are tarred and feathered and then jailed for the rest of their racist, pathetic lives. RUIN THESE JERKS. They deserve no sympathy whatsoever, they only deserve the hell that they caused. Jacob Blake is paralyzed, and two human beings are gone forever because of these cowardice men.

So, you might be thinking, damn Naomi, what are we doing here? What is the point of all of this information? WELL! Here are some links to petitions, fundraisers, and videos that are necessary for making change. Also, if you can protest, wear a mask and get out there!
