Kwe' nitap! Wela'lioq to ya'll checking in and wishing us safety, and for the early Wli' Ajipuna', happy birthdays! I'm turning 40 and all I want is folks to give to Ry'heam's Fund (and if you do, you get a free vid of your choice and free snap for a month - see details all the way down at the bottom of this description). For those that don't know, Ry'heam lived near me, and I've already been having a lot of feels about how folks are still treating BIPOC. So guess who hurt themselves going too fast stressing, and has therefore slowed down to focus on more and more radical self (and therefore community) care? From what everyone's telling me, that's been a lot of us. And it's understandable! Stresses from the recent horrors don't to Tyre Nichols, Tortuguita, followed by Ry'heam Da'mon Brown in the town I'm staying in (y'all I have been crying so much, y'all understand), as well as the gov's continuation of ignoring what's actually going on at the behest of the companies demanding everyone to work until we're too exhausted to respond to the situations that need our compassion and involvement to change can feel draining, but like Vibe Check said: When things get intense we all stick together and empower one another. How have YOU been empowering your relations? Ry'heam's Fund is posted on lerougesubletdotcom, linktr.ee/agentSKYHOUSE, and all over our social media. Send us an image of how you're showing up for your relations (donating to the funeral fund, being out and active in activism liberating the marginalized and oppressed, cool buttons/signs/ stickers that aid in visibility of the opressed and their needs, giving resources, funding, etc) and get a free vid of your choice from our shop, as well as a month of my very full snap.
