Feeling overwhelmed by the state of the world. Taking a social media break. Y’all stay safe! 🩶

alright everyone: lock in

Though Apple is in my shit list right now, this update is nice. I’m digging the features and aesthetic. FUCK TIM COOK!!! Carry on.

I think it's time to boycott all these channels and keep TV watching to a minimum. We have the power to promote change. Change won't happen without self discipline.

I don't watch Jimmy Kimmel, but Disney and all of their affiliates should be boycotted. Disney Hulu Marvel All of them.

(1) ANTIFA is NOT a group, it’s an anti-racism—anti-fascism movement/stance (2) The fact this government moves so quickly once an openly racist ass yt man passes away, they wanna make moves, however, no one is talking about this black boy that was hung from a tree at Delta State.

💔💔💔

Since the original post was deleted, I’ll repost it myself. Since that BS about Kirk can live free in White America. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

In case no one told you today, you don't have to be strong right now. It’s okay to let the tears fall…to not have everything together. We all pretend sometimes, like we're okay when we're not; but it's okay to show up as you are…it's okay to be broken You don't have to fix everything today♥️🫂

I see that "platinum plan" for black ppl paying it's dividends. 😒

I want to stress that right wing political violence is nothing new. It's a legacy as old as the country in a lot of ways, what is consistent is the lack of national concern about it.

This. This! THIS!

We live in a right wing country. That’s why everyone in power is rushing to humanize Charlie Kirk. They share the same views. Idk how people are confused/mystified about that still. It’s literally the fabric of this country.

Let’s than 7 seconds video of yourself.

Couldn’t have said it better~

Summer Jam don’t owe me shit!!!!

The killer was a Cis-White, Conservative, Republican man - every suspect they had before him was the same and yet the threats were made against HBCUs…

Glorilla called that man Young Bug!!!!

2 school shootings yesterday. Bomb and shooter threats at HBCUs today Another School shooting today this time in Boston... But the president is giving presidential honor to a 31 year old dead YouTuber who thinks Guns deserve more protection instead of children, women, black ppl, immigrants & lgbt

Haven’t found the shooter, don’t know the motive. All of them: “THE LEFT IS TARGETING US. THE LEFT ARE TERRORISTS”.

MESSAGE.

🤔 🤔 🤔

Idk who needs to hear this but: Racism ≠ “Differing Political Beliefs”

Harmful people are not redeemed in death

Tamir Rice was 12. Trayvon Martin was 17. Michael Brown was 18. Stephon Clark was 22. Elijah McClain was 23. Ahmaud Arbury was 25. Breonna Taylor was 26. Sandra Bland was 28. Since we, now, recognize how young 31 is.

If the person on that stage was black, queer, or trans, that man would have said “one less”……so please stop trying to humanize a person who would have a press conference on how good the lost of your life would be if you aren’t white

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣

Listen, if Charlie Kirk dies from the gunshot, do NOT tell me how to respond. He himself said gun deaths are "worth it to protect the second amendment." I will applaud his sacrifice. I will cheer his commitment. I was toast the douchebag. I will toast the asshole. I will toast the scumbag.

Coupling

With all of the adversity I’ve experienced, I’m still here!

I try to avoid stress (I’m not very good at it) and try to take care of my physical health (I’m getting better at it).

Bodies of water, good music, knowing my family is okay.

A big hug that leads to a good cry.

How debilitating it can be. That it goes far beyond just “being sad”.

Acting as if it isn’t a big deal. Gaslighting those who struggle with mental health.

Shutting those that love me out.

Continuous. While I evolve, the “old me” is still there, which is a good thing as his presence ensures I don’t make the same mistakes.

Poorly! I tend to shut down. I get quiet and disappear as much as I can until I feel like I’ve gotten through the moment.

They’re incredibly rare and when they occur, I acknowledge them, take notice of what led to the thoughts and immediately replace the thoughts with why I’m grateful for life.

Not only thought about it, I’ve attempted a few times. I was incredibly overwhelmed, felt an intense sense of sadness and while I wasn’t alone (there were people in my orbit) I felt lonely. I couldn’t figure out how to get a handle on the emotions and felt the only way out was to end it all.

Never had anyone close to me commit suicide, but many around me that tried. This made it a possibility for me.

During the panini, there was a week where I couldn’t get out of bed. I felt fine physically, but I couldn’t bring myself to get out of bed. This ultimately led to a bit of a breakdown. There were signs before this moment, but this cemented my need to focus on my mental health.
